The Queen They Buried

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.

Aubree’s lips curved into a smile, poised in quiet anticipation.

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.”

A kaleidoscope of expressions flashed across Carmen’s face. What a spectacle. Now that Percival had apologized, that was tantamount to admitting the whole thing was her fabrication.

She could already picture the internet exploding with hate once today’s incident went public.

Carmen dug her nails into her palm. She thought, ‘If I apologize to Aubree now, maybe I can still salvage something. She just got lucky this time. Who would’ve thought she could paint like that after not touching a brush for over a year?‘

Just as Carmen was about to reluctantly apologize, Aubree glanced at her. “Spare me your apology. I’ve heard enough empty words from you. My lawyer’s letter is already prepared for you.”
