Chapter 428

Marian stepped out of the restroom and called out to Louis and Renata, "Grandpa, Grandma, let's go back home," before making her way to the exit.

Louis was still preoccupied with Sophia's recent demand for a public apology and the suspension of the project. His unfulfilled intent to apologize made him plead with Sophia in a softened voice:

"Ms. Yearwood, we truly did come with our hearts in our hands to say sorry today. It's just that, you know, I'm getting on in years, and my thoughts might not be as clear, which could have led to saying things that upset you, and I'm very sorry about that. But I do hope you can reconsider. Both Renata and I are on in years, who knows when our number's up, right? We've got this one wish left, to leave this world clear-headed, remembering each other and our family without any

regrets.

"As for Yoli, she's done wrong, no doubt about that—and we're not trying to cover for her or anything. It's just that Yoli has been separated from her family since she was young, she's had a hard life out there on her own, and I always feel responsible for not being able to provide a better life for her. That's why I'm so inclined to make it up to her. If the theft of the design drafts becomes public, she won't be able to continue in this business. She's still got her whole life ahead of her, and if it's at all possible, I hope you can give her a second chance to start afresh."

"People truly sorry don't come to someone's door with arrogance and insults," came a low and cool voice suddenly from the doorway.

Sophia looked up, surprised, as Brandon strode in from outside, his coat flipping in the wind, his steps brisk and hurried, giving him a rather travel-worn appearance.

Theresa also noticed Brandon coming in and excitedly called out, "Daddy!"

Marian's expression flickered with a moment of panic.

Louis turned in astonishment to see Brandon and involuntarily blurt out, "Brandon?"
