"Why, why is he here too?"
"Who?" Samantha didn't know who Janice was referring to, so she asked.
Janice hugged her directly and buried her face in her embrace. "Mom, I don't want to see him now. I look so hideous. How can he see me like this? He already dislikes me so looking like this now, it will definitely disappoint him."
Her voice was very faint, so only Samantha could hear her. After all, Janice was her daughter. How could she not understand what she meant?
Janice was referring to Maddox.
Janice had lost weight in the past few days. She did not dress up and had stayed in the detention room the whole time. Hence, her image had collapsed in front of the person she loved when Maddox came in.
If it was in the past, Samantha would have definitely helped Janice get through this crisis.
However, at that moment, compared to her appearance, her reputation and life were more
important. Hence, Samantha couldn't care less. She took Janice's hands and whispered, "Good girl, don't worry about whether he is here or not. I came here to save you today. You have done the wrong thing so you have to apologize to them and admit your mistakes seriously. You have to promise that you won't do it again, do you understand?"
Upon hearing those words, Janice who was buried in her mother's arms trembled violently, and then she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Apologize well, do you understand?" Samantha pinned a look on her and warned her in a low voice. "I have spent a lot of effort to get this opportunity. If you don't apologize well, this opportunity will be gone."
"A chance that you begged for? Did you beg that woman?" Janice suddenly became aggravated and her eyes burned with great anger and hatred. Her expression stunned Samantha. She clenched her teeth and squeezed Janice's wrist hard. She lowered her voice and said, "Listen to me carefully, Janice Lowell. You will apologize to them seriously today and you must be sincerely regretful. You must not have this look in your eyes later. After all, it is your fault!"
It was her fault?
How was it her fault? Janice didn't think that she had done anything wrong. Even if she did, it was because she had failed to splash the acid onto Minerva's face and that she had left her standing there safe and sound.
"I won't apologize," Janice said with fierceful eyes. "It's not my fault. She stole my man first!"
"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Samantha widened her eyes and a bad feeling rose in her heart. Her daughter was obstinate and unruly, and she was still unwilling to apologize. "Do you know, if you don't apologize today, you may be locked up here for a long time?"
What?
As soon as she heard that she was going to be locked up in such a place forever, Janice felt a little scared.
However, to ask her to apologize to the woman who stole her man? How could she do that?
"Make the choice for yourself. You either apologize and leave, or you don't apologize and stay here. I believe you know which one you should choose."
At this point, Samantha had let go of Janice and let her make her own choice.
After she stood up, she smiled at Minerva and said softly, "I've already told Janice. She's been through a lot of hardships over the past few days. She also knows that she's made a mistake. Janice's already thought it through."
Minerva looked at Samantha and thought that as Janice's mother, she had done a good job.
In front of maternal love, Minerva was very respectful towards her. Thus, she nodded at her and smiled.
