Everyone thought the two women were about to make amends, but instead, Chloe just raised her hand to fix her hair. "I might let you down, Wendy. About this thing, I'm not planning on forgiving you."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Looks like you know you messed up. I can't forgive someone who's whipped me. And... you might have misunderstood. I didn't apologize to you just now because I hit you, but because... if I knew you could endure so much, I should've whipped you more. I regret not pushing you to your limits."
The whole living room, and even the whole villa, fell into silence. Everyone was shocked by Chloe's words. Because they never imagined, that in this world, some things could be said like this.
She was sorry because she felt she had whipped the other party too little, and didn't push her to her limits? What a unique reason!
Two bursts of laughter broke the silence; Rose and Nathan chuckled.
Chloe, as Damon's wife, was really hard to swallow. She had given Wendy the illusion of compromise, got Wendy's confession and apology, and finally rejected Wendy's apology without any mercy. And the reason for her apology was shocking.
Wendy's extended hand, at this moment, seemed to make her even more embarrassed.
Chloe narrowed her eyes at her, her gaze extremely cold despite the smile on her face. Did Wendy want to get close to her again, back to the time when she treated her hypocritically?
Was she crazy or stupid? Would Chloe, knowing her intentions, go along with her?
Damon couldn't help but smile at the side. It seemed that the last incident made her more vigilant.
Presley was so angry that his eyes were red.
If Elizabeth's words just now were restrained, then Chloe's words were completely unreserved. Wendy's hand that was hanging in the air trembled, and she was shaking with anger. Grace was even more furious. "She... you..." She glanced at Presley, then at Chloe, almost suffocating with anger.
Wendy withdrew her hand, stood in place, and glanced at Damon with a hurt look. But she didn't get any response.
"I was wrong to hit you...if you don't want to forgive me, I can understand...if you think it's not enough to erase the grudge in your heart, I can accept a harsher punishment..."
Chloe raised her eyebrows, looked at her and said, "What a pity..."
Suddenly, there was a thud. Wendy fell to the ground before Chloe finished speaking. She had obviously fainted.
"Wendy!"
"Ms. Wendy!"
Grace and Addie shouted loudly, and the atmosphere in the living room finally livened up.
Damon took a few steps back with Chloe, fearing Wendy would use her fainting to frame Chloe.
Presley shouted for someone to help Wendy up. But neither Nathan nor Damon moved. In the end, Addie saw a driver from the Harper family at the door and immediately asked him to come in and help carry Wendy upstairs.
"Wendy sure faints easily."
