The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 177

Chapter 177 I Swear I'll Make You Pay For It

The clock struck twelve, and Brenna had just finished her final presentation when a group of people approached from the sides of the stage. They arranged themselves in a straight line, facing the audience.

Marco spoke first, leading the group in apologizing to Brenna in front of everyone.

"Miss Harper, I am sorry. I'm Marco Boyd, head of the sales department. In our group chat, I crossed a line with my comments about you, and it wasn't right. I recognize my mistake and am asking for your forgiveness.

Something like this won't happen again."

In truth, Marco wasn't entirely sincere. His apology was driven by the fact that he was unwilling to lose the high salary and generous year-end bonus he could get working at the Harper Group. He knew he wouldn't earn this

much elsewhere.

He had mortgages for a car and a house to pay and a family to support, including his wife, children, and elderly parents. The thought of losing his job was unbearable.

He finished speaking and respectfully bowed to Brenna.

One by one, his colleagues followed suit, also apologizing to Brenna.

Brenna, ever gracious and mindful of the public setting, chose not to hold a grudge.

With a calm tone, she said, "I forgive you all."

Brenna didn't want to say much to those who had hurt her. She quickly gathered her things and left.

Although many had come forward to apologize, Lochlan had not. He had refused to apologize to Brenna and had been taken away by the police.

Leaving the auditorium, Brenna stepped into the elevator and found herself face- to-face with Sabine. They were the only ones in the elevator.
