Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 55

Chapter 55:

Doris rested her chin on one hand, gazing over with a subtle smile. “Family? Humph. How do you plan to correct me? I wasn’t fabricating anything. These are all things the media reported, basically open secrets. I was simply repeating them exactly as they were said.”

“Is that the case?” Rachel’s voice sharpened, her question pointed.

Yvonne was her friend, and Doris had embarrassed her publicly today. Rachel felt obligated to defend her. “Firstly, Yvonne is my friend, and you ought to show her some respect. Secondly, publicly airing someone’s private issues to humiliate them—do you consider that polite? How could you be so mean? Doris, I’m offering you the opportunity to apologize to my friend today. If not, I will not let this matter drop.”

Doris stood frozen, her complexion turning ashen.

Nevertheless, she maintained her poise, showing no sign of willingness to apologize.

“I’m giving you one minute to reconsider.”

Doris merely bowed her head, choosing silence.

As the final seconds ticked down, Rachel could no longer contain herself. She commanded with authority, “Ten, nine, eight… three, two, one. Apologize!” Her voice carried a commanding tone that left no room for opposition. Her expression was just as firm, projecting intense pressure that weighed heavily on Doris. Overwhelmed, Doris broke down in tears.

Amidst her crying, she blurted out resentfully, “Why are you being so harsh? Alright, I’ll apologize!”

She then turned towards Yvonne and bowed deeply. “I’m sorry. I didn’t intend any harm.”

Yvonne looked at her indifferently and said, “Be thankful you’re under the White family’s protection. Otherwise, today’s episode would not have concluded so mildly. And another thing, stop your manipulations. Brian and Rachel are about to be husband and wife.”

Those words struck a nerve.

Doris’s eyes welled up with anger as she glared at Yvonne, too upset to utter a word.

Despite her apology, she still felt unjustly treated.
