in the video?"

Yvette stared at the screen, eyes wide as she saw a video posted on the official Nelson Group account. "Who? Who did this?" she screamed.

The passerby, startled by her outburst, quickly grabbed their phone back and stepped away, turning his camera on her. "How could a rich girl be like this? Just like in the video, no class at all!" Yvette glared at him. "Stop filming! Put that phone dow down!"

"Yeah, didn't she say she'd sincerely apologize in that last video? And now she's acting like nothing happened. When confronted, she plays dumb and cries like a victim."

"Exactly! The person she

copied from must be so fed up. Yvette publicly said she'd apologize, but when it came time, she cried like she was being bullied." "She's just pulling a a pity card. Does she really think we're that gullible? Cry a little, and the public will take her side? She really thinks she is wronged."

Yvette, it doesn't matter where you apologize. In any situation, it's the same. We-the Nelson family-can admit when we're wrong. If she asks for an apology, you should apologize to her. But you...
