Chapter 217 An apology

So much for “accident“.

More like deliberately flirtatious!

Levy offered a gracious smile but chose not to delve into details about the incident.

Moments later, a waiter approached with a delivery,

“Mr. Sanders, a lady sent this as an apology for the inconvenience caused earlier.

Levy’s girlfriend, a socialite whose reputation preceded her, eyed the garment with disdain. “This piec of mediocrity presumes to make amends? Dispose of it!” Her command was cut short as Levy, prioritizing practicality over pride, accepted the shirt and headed to the restroom to change.

Regardless of its quality, it was better than his damp clothing.

assumptions.

The societal circles that once speculated about her downfall were now forced to acknowledge her resilience and standing. Renee, they realized, had not only retained her dignity but had also silently

affirmed her stature. She commanded a new level of respect.

Marcelo was the life of the party, drinking more than anyone else, but you couldn’t tell by looking at him.

He lounged on the couch with elegance, appearing as calm and dignified as always
