'Those people are actually scolding us on the Internet.
'How is this possible!'
Yet seeing the serious expression on the secretary's face, Clay had to take it.
Clay's fists placed on the desk were clenched. His wrinkled face became a bit more aged, and his eyes revealed a bewildered look. "How could this be?"
He couldn't figure it out.
'We've already apologized.
'Why are those unruly people still cursing us?'
Seeming to have seen Clay's puzzlement, the secretary lowered his head with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
Thing had come to this, yet Clay still hadn't realized what he did wrong.
The secretary felt he really had to consider his best friend's suggestion and resign to find another job.
Otherwise, the McDaniel Group would sooner or later be brought down by such an incompetent leader.
Of course, the secretary didn't dare to show his thoughts. He asked with a worried face, "Mr. McDaniel, what should we do now?"
Clay clenched his fists again and again, not saying anything.
He did not know what to do either.
Earlier, he had gone back to the McDaniel family's old residence and discussed with his dad how to reduce tensions between them and Julien.
After the discussion, Clay immediately rushed back to appease the shareholders of the company.
After all, the stock prices were falling, so he must give the shareholders a statement.
Unexpectedly, he had just assured the shareholders that the stock prices would soon recover when the secretary brought back the news that after the apology was released, the stock prices did not recover and instead plunged more quickly.
How could Clay accept such a fact?
This was completely different from what he had thought.
Clay had expected that after his apology was sent out, Sydney and those unreasonable people would forgive Erin and stop abusing him, his family, and the McDaniel Group.
'Sydney should have immediately forgiven Erin.
'After all, Erin's grandfather is Julien's teacher.
'For the sake of this relationship, Sydney should have forgiven Erin.
'Even though Julien is angry with us now, he will not disown us, and he will be reconciled with us no matter what.
'Sydney should have realized this and let Erin go.
'She should have forgiven Erin as soon as she saw the McDaniel family's apology.'
However, Sydney did not do that at all. Instead, she said that she did not forgive them and that their apology was not sincere.
Yes, it was true that they were not sincere in their apology, they were not willing to apologize to someone like Sydney at all.
The McDaniel family felt from the beginning that Sydney was not worthy of Julien and that only Erin was the most suitable for Julien.
If they had sincerely apologized, others would have felt that the McDaniel family liked Sydney and thought she was a good match for Julien.
In that case, when Erin was with Julien, what would others say?
Therefore, Clay absolutely could not let that happen, and for that reason, he chose to apologize in this way.
It wasn't sincere, but it was an apology.
So Clay thought Sydney should have accepted it.
'After all, sooner or later, we will make up with Julien. Is Sydney not afraid that we will say something bad about her to Julien and that he will gradually grow tired of her?
'Huh, it seems that Sydney is just a stupid woman.
'If not, how would she not have thought of this?'
The conceited Clay's face was full of contempt for Sydney. He forgot that in Julien's heart, Sydney was much more important than them. Julien would not make up with them or let them sow discord.
