"Karina Arthur, when are you going to apologize? Don't you want to go to the bathroom?" Marina Yon was so happy that she teased him again and again. He pushed and urged her, "Hurry up!"
Karina Arthur gritted her teeth. It was indeed a shame to apologize, but if he did not admit his mistake and left without keeping the stakes, it was the reputation of the Arthur family that would be humiliated.
"Ugh, I shouldn't have followed you and accepted the bet, now I'm so embarrassed." One of the girls complained in a low voice.
“So now you guys blame me?” Karina Arthur turned around suddenly and glanced at them. The girls lowered their heads and did not dare to make eye contact with him. Their friend's unfaithful attitude made Karina Arthur's heart break.
He sneered, “Did I force you to agree to this bet? Aren't you the ones who pushed me to agree to this bet? You were laughing and excited back then, but now you're blaming me?"
Karina Arthur was so angry with them, she knew her friends so well, that she memorized the meaning of their cold eyes. It was a signal to sacrifice one person for the common good. Karina Arthur won't let them try to do anything to her.
Being humiliated is not important anymore. He walked up to the stage and took the microphone. He said to Yuna Yon straightforwardly, "Sorry. I shouldn't laugh at you or make fun of you. I hope you can accept my apology, Young Miss Yuna Yon."
After saying that, he did not wait for Yuna Yon's reaction. He put down the microphone and turned to leave. As he passed the girls, he sneered, "I advise you to apologize immediately as well. The Yon family isn't someone you can bother without me." From then on, their relationship will not be the same again. After saying that, he left.
The remaining girls looked at each other. In the end, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they still went up on stage to apologize to Yuna Yon.
Some socialites lined up to apologize. It was such a rare scene among the upper classes, that some journalists took footage for it. Yuna Yon watched this scene in a daze as she listened to them apologize one after another.
Yuna Yon used to think that she didn't care anymore. After being hurt so many times, he thought he had become numb to all of this. He thought that he would be able to ignore these evil and mocking words. However, when he heard this late apology, he realized that he could also be angry.
The feeling buried in his chest seemed to slowly disappear. With tears in her eyes, Yuna Yon held Soma Haruka's hand and smiled brightly.
Marina Yon had originally booked a hotel room because she did not want to return to the Yon family home after the banquet. However, after the banquet ended, Marina Yon did not want to go there. He lowered his ego and got into the car of his sister-in-law, Soma Haruka. They returned to the Yon family home together.
The moment he reached before him, his gaze stopped at Daniel Yon's feet for a long time. In the end, he simply asked, "Daniel, what are you doing here and why aren't you resting?"
Daniel Yon raised his head to look at his wife. His pair of dark eyes seemed to suppress the surging pain. All of this he did just for the sake of seeing Soma Haruka, as if that woman was everything to him. After looking at each other for a long time, he finally revealed a faint smile. He said, "Don't worry, I just can't sleep. So, I want to wait for you.. I mean wait for you guys to come back."
He just wanted to wait for her. He wanted to watch this very important night with her. Daniel Yon did not say this out loud. There seemed to be thousands of words hidden in his eyes that were as dark as ink. Tonight has a different meaning for everyone in the Yon family.
Daniel Yon with the success of his operation, David Yon who had realized his folly, Marina Yon who tried to make peace with his arrogance, Darel Yon who finally learned his greatest madness, Mayuna Yon with her big step towards a new world, and the, and Soma Haruka who managed to land a single blow to the face of the Soma family. That night everyone was drunk in their own world, except Dean Yon who was pouting at the end of the room.
The next day, the entire Yon family gathered for breakfast together, this time their family members were already complete, so Chief Servant Hans shed his tears. After Darel Yon and Dean Yon finished breakfast, they went to school as usual.
David Yon lives at home and still doesn't know what to do. Marina Yon was still taking time off, and since she did not have anything important to do, she also stayed home and did not know what to do.
Mayuna Yon looked at her older brothers who stayed at home, and felt an overwhelming awkwardness. He quietly tightened the grip of his hand on the spoon. For the first time, he boldly started the conversation. She asked, "Sister-in-law, teacher Roseta asked me to meet her today. Can you accompany me?"
Daniel Yon frowned slightly, and his dark gaze was fixed on him. He said, "I'll ask the driver to send you. You're grown up, you still need someone to accompany you there? Be independent."
"Em." Mayuna Yon retreated slightly and looked fearfully at her serious and cold older brother. Daniel Yon did not believe that Mayuna was his sister and never said why he doubted her.
Mayuna Yon turned her gaze to Soma Haruka and looked at her sadly. His eyes are a little red. He said, "I'm just a little nervous, I'm just a little scared of my teacher. I-if brother-in-law can't, I'll go alone." His thin and small face was filled with sadness and unease. It was as if she would cry if Soma Haruka rejected her.
The children who grew up in the slums were all stubborn. Even when they were beaten, they would still struggle and not cry. Soma Haruka thought to herself, how could there be such a small crybaby that could cry so easily like this?
This was the first time Soma Haruka realized that he was so weak in a crybaby little boy. He quickly replied, "Alright, big brother will accompany you there after breakfast."
