Chapter 701 Apology
“I have an appointment, and I was held back for a considerable while just now. Now, I have to rush there, so I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
“We’re family, so there’s no need to be so courteous.”
Kieran walked over and patted Timothy on the shoulder while smiling as he said, “Go ahead, then. It’s also time for me to go back with my friends.”
Timothy nodded and went to meet his client with Henry. After that, Kieran also left with his friends.
The others exchanged glances before they went their separate ways as well. In an instant, only Yvette and the rich guy were left in the originally lively corridor.
She looked at the guy who was holding his stomach and grimacing, then hastily went up to him and asked out of concern, “Are you okay?”
“Get lost!”
He pushed her away in anger. “It’s all because of a wretch like you that I offended Master Nicholas. You better pray that I’ll be okay, or you won’t be safe from harm if I am finished!”
With that, he turned and left. It was true that he had been pursuing Yvette, but his gaze was set on the Turner Family’s property. After all, Yvette was the only daughter of the Turner Family.
Yvette didn’t know what the guy was plotting. After she was pushed to the floor by her ex-admirer, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face before she was filled with more regret.
If only she knew that Timothy had a powerful background, then she might have persisted no matter what.
Once at home, Yvette recalled everything that happened at night, and the more she recalled, the more anxious she became.
She was worried that he would seek revenge on her own company, so she hastily went to the study to see her father.
“Dad, I might have gotten us into trouble.”
She entered through the door and vaguely explained everything that had happened in the club.
When she was done, she looked anxiously at her father, trying to defend herself as she added, “I thought that Timothy only had some tricks up his sleeve, and that’s how he got involved with Sawyer Group. I never thought that this relationship existed between them.”
Hearing that, Lucas Turner’s expression darkened. “I always tell you to look at the big picture, and you really did well before. Why did you get so impatient this time?”
He looked at Yvette with an accusatory glare, but Yvette felt wronged. “It’s not entirely my fault. I’ve been trying so hard, but Timothy still ignored me, and he even helped another woman to bully me. I’ve never been treated like that before.”
“You were probably too pampered by other people and now, you’ve gotten too proud!” Lucas reprimanded in anger.
Yvette bit her lip, unsure of how to retort. She gripped her clothes and said worriedly, “Dad, do you think Timothy will get revenge on us? Will Master Nicholas also give us trouble?”
Seeing his daughter’s worried expression, Lucas was madder. “You’re only getting scared now, huh? Even if you look down on Timothy, you shouldn’t have offended him!”
She was scolded so terribly that she didn’t dare say another word.
He chose to ignore her. The most important thing right now is to repair our relationship with Timothy.
“Come with me to Reinhart Group tomorrow. We’ll apologize to Timothy in person.”
This is the best choice we have now.
Even though Yvette wasn’t willing to do so, she still agreed to her father’s plan.
…
At noon the next day, Lucas and Yvette brought a gift with them as they paid Timothy a visit.
Timothy decided that it was time for this incident to be wrapped up, so he agreed to the meeting. In the office, he sat on the couch with a stoic expression on his face while Yvette and Lucas sat on the opposite side. The father and daughter duo looked rather cautious with their every move.
Lucas kept signaling at Yvette with his eyes, as if he hadn’t noticed her uneasiness. However, Yvette hadn’t fully prepared herself yet, so she pretended she hadn’t seen it.
In the end, he became impatient and urged unhappily, “Say sorry to President Reinhart.”
She bit her lip, but the words of apology didn’t leave her mouth. When Lucas saw that, his expression turned dark, but he knew it wasn’t the time to tell her off.
He ignored Yvette and wore a smile as he said to Timothy, “I’ve been too lenient on this child at home. She’s actually not a bad girl. Say, let’s have a meal together, my treat. I’ll compensate you and offer an apology.”
