Violet turned pale at that.
Her husband, Jaeden, wanted to strangle her at that moment and scold her for whatever she did.
Yet, Jaeden and Violet still did not know who Nathan was, such that he demanded respect from even a man like Ya a cob.
Despite so, they were scared by how furious Yaacob seemed. As such, they could only put their ego aside and apologize to Nathan.
Jaeden spoke first, “Mr. Cross, my wife was out of the line, and for that, I sincerely apologize for her behavior.”
Following that, Violet lowered her head and rolled her eyes before she casually remarked, “I was wrong. Sorry.”
Sensing her insincerity, Nathan demanded, “You need to apologize to my wife as well for slandering her.”
Without a choice, Violet spat, “Sorry!”
In response, Penny calmly advised, “I hope that you would not taint anyone's name anymore. Besides, you shouldn't say stuff like that in front of your child. You should set a good example.”
Jaeden and Violet acknowledged it. Although it was hard to tell if Jaeden was sincere, it was clear that Violet only did it because Yaacob forced her.
Not long after, Queenie and Marc were made to own up to their mistakes and apologize to each other in front of Nathan and the teachers.
Thinking that everything was over, Violet impatiently commented, “Are you happy now?
Can we leave?”
With that, Nathan could obviously tell that she didn't mean it when she apologized earlier.
