Soon after, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Elliot.

As Chad exited the room, he bumped into Chelsea who was on her way over.

Chat approached her, intending to speak to her, but in the end, he said nothing. 3

"I'm sorry, Elliot," she said in a hoarse voice as she stood in front of Elliot. "This was all due to my

Elliot stared silently at her pale face, then said, "I know."

"I'm sorry. He won't apologize to you. He already left the country," Chelsea said through the lump in her

throat. "Please forgive my family, Elliot. My father's getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to

handle the backlash. If you have to punish someone, then punish me. I'll take it all without question."

Elliot continued to stare at her in silence.
