After the two of them sat down, Vera stood behind Minerva and looked warily at Janice.
Vera fixed her gaze on Janice as she was afraid that Janice would suddenly throw something at Minerva.
Maddox had been around the last time. However, he was not around presently. If something really happened, who would stand up for Minerva?
Therefore, Vera needed to protect Minerva well.
Perhaps Vera's gaze was too heated, as Janice cast her a strange look. Janice complained, "Why are you looking at me like this? I said I won't do anything to hurt her again. If I hurt her again, I'll be struck by lightning. I've already sworn against it. Won't you believe me?"
Minerva watched them as they bickered.
"Really, you swear?" Vera chided. "Who would believe you? Given that you were able to do such a heinous act, I can't believe that you've really changed. Only a magnanimous person like Minerva would give you the benefit of doubt."
Her words were barbed and ruthless. After hearing Vera's words, Janice's expression changed. However, Minerva remained unmoving as she merely watched the situation unfold.
Janice was furious. Nevertheless, she could only hold back her anger. Snorting, she replied, "Say whatever you want to say. I can't stop you so I can only prove it through my actions!"
After saying that, she stood up and stared at Minerva, who was seated before her.
Vera panicked instantly. "What are you doing? You..."
Her eyes widened in shock.
Janice, who was standing ramrod straight, suddenly bowed to Minerva. Her waist bent steeply and her head hung low; she looked truly sincere.
Even Samantha was taken aback by her actions. She stared at Janice in a daze. Evidently, the two of them had not discussed that beforehand.
"I'm sorry. I apologize to you for my improper behaviour. I promise you that this will never happen again. As I've wronged you before, I'm willing to do anything you say. I'll do it!"
Vera was stupefied. She did not expect
Janice to go all out in her apology.
Samantha looked very pleased. "Miss Hanover, Janice is truly sorry. Before meeting you today, she dragged me out to buy something, telling me that she wanted to apologize to you. In the past, Janice was careless and stubborn, but she is a changed person now."
Minerva looked at her indifferently. She did not seem to be shocked or surprised by Janice's actions.
Her emotionless icy expression made Samantha instantly realize why Janice had lost to her.
Their behaviors and actions were completely different.
Although Janice was beautiful, Minerva stood her ground against Janice's pretty features. On the contrary, she was very calm and collected.
Her temperament could only be the result of time and her own cultivation.
In other words, Janice didn't possess Minerva's attributes.
Similarly, Minerva didn't possess Janice's rowdiness.
Since Minerva and Maddox were already acquainted in the past, he must have known Minerva when she was still full of energy. Her change in behaviour must have made him fall deeper in love with Minerva.
At the thought of that, Samantha understood everything.
"If I didn't forgive you, you wouldn't even be standing here before me now. These gifts aren't necessary, and there's nothing I want from you. All I ask is that you stay out of my life in the future."
"That's it?" Janice asked in disbelief.
"Yeah?"
"You... aren't going to take this opportunity to get back at me? After all, I had tried to ruin your face."
With a faint smile, she replied, "First, the person you hurt is Mr. Yardley, not me. Second, since I have already forgiven you, there's no need for me to get back at you."
