She never thought that his tiny bit of distrust could hurt her so much, even after all this time.
"No way, I'm not saying sorry!"
She hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she apologize?
Saying sorry would be like admitting guilt.
The waiters saw the high-class customers arguing at the restaurant entrance and were too scared to intervene, so they had no choice but to fetch the manager.
When the manager arrived, he attracted the attention of the other customers, many of whom also came over to watch the drama.
Marissa heard the commotion. Rumors were flying that it was Mr. Blanchet arguing with two women; she couldn't sit still any longer. She asked Veronica to take her to see what the fuss was about.
Marissa pushed through the crowd to see Theo yanking on Ellinor's collar, demanding she apologize to the bleeding Sophia.
Tears were streaming down Ellinor's face, but she stubbornly refused to apologize.
Sophia, meanwhile, looked mortified as she tried to mediate.
After seeing this, Marissa was instantly pissed. She stormed over and shoved her grandson away. "Theo, what the hell are you doing? Do you know Ellinor is pregnant? How could you treat her like this?"
Theo didn't get angry when his grandmother pushed him. "She caused Sophia's wound. She made someone bleed, and yet she refuses to apologize."
Marissa protected Ellinor while looking at Sophia's head. She spotted dried bloodstains on her forehead. "Sophia, what's the deal? Did Ellinor really cause your injury?"
