Chapter 342

Percival was insufferably arrogant and self–righteous. For someone like him, admitting he was wrong was worse than death itself. Aubree simply loved making those she despised, no matter how mad they were, bow their heads, apologize, and beg her for forgiveness.

Despite Percival’s overwhelming pride, he knew that if he refused to apologize in front of so many people, his reputation would be irreparably damaged.

Reluctantly, his face dark with suppressed anger, Percival apologized, “I’m sorry to have wronged you.”
