    Trinity raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It seems like you care a lot about this."


    "Yes, I''ve always been resentful. After all, I don''t think I did anything wrong, but you mistreated me. Things were left unresolved after that. Didn''t you feel like something was missing?" Ivanna stared at Trinity. Her attitude was firm, and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.


    Trinity remained calm and looked at Ivanna''s delicate face.


    The two of them wereplete opposites.


    Ivanna wasn''t wearing any makeup due to her pregnancy. But her delicate face was firm, appearing serene and radiant.


    Although Trinity had light makeup on, she still exuded a fierce and wild aura, which made her seem like she could explode at any moment.


    This was one of the reasons why Jared liked Ivanna.


    "What if our positions were switched, Ms. Trinity?" Ivanna continued, "How would you feel if you were treated like this?"


    "For me, that ''what if'' doesn''t exist! It''s not even possible!" Trinity said assertively.


    Ivanna suddenly smiled. "So, you are kind of a gangster."


    I couldn''t intervene and felt extremely nervous. I silently prayed that these two women wouldn''t start a fight.


    Trinity suddenly smiled as well, with a hint of provocation. "Am I?"


    "I haven''t confronted you about this because I didn''t want Jared to be caught in the middle of us. I''ve buried this in my heart, and I thought I would find an opportunity to talk to you about it when the time was right. I didn''t expect we would have the chance to meet today," Ivanna spoke in a lighthearted tone, as if they were two old friends reuniting after a long time.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    "I couldn''t just let this weigh on my mind without addressing it, could I?" Ivanna asked as she looked at Trinity, sounding reasonable. "Of course, I also didn''t confront you because I didn''t want our conflict to strain the rtionship between Jared and the Huffman family."


    "Do you think that''s possible? You''re very confident!" Trinity''s tone was unfriendly.


    "I''ve always been confident. But I understand it''s my responsibility since I want to be with Jared. I''ve been suppressing this. But just because I''ve suppressed it doesn''t mean I''ve epted it."


    "What? Are you trying to say you want justice from me?" Trinity''s tone was icy.


    "I certainly won''t handle this the way you do. And, of course, I''m not as domineering as you, with so many. people under your control. Besides, as I said, I don''t want to strain the rtionship between Jared and the Huffman family. A simple apology shouldn''t be too much to ask." Ivanna remainedposed and reasonable in her speech.


    "Is that all?" Trinity asked.


    "Yes. I understand the importance of the bigger picture, but a sincere apology is necessary. I won''t mind a dyed apology whenever you''re ready to reconcile." Ivanna''s words were gentle yet firm, leaving no


    room for doubt.


    Trinity continued to scrutinize Ivanna, and her aura eased.


    I had to admit that Ivanna had spoken perfectly and underscored the significance of the broader picture.


    Lauren turned to face Trinity and watched her look away from Ivanna and toward me instead. Trinity asked, "What do you think, Chloe? Do I owe her an apology?"


    She was passing the buck to me.


    I understood her intention. Among the four people present, I was her friend. She was trying to ask my opinion about this.


    She wanted to know how I would manage a friendship between friends, because she saw the other two women as my friends too.


    It had always been her idea.


    I looked at her and responded without hesitation, "You do owe Ivanna an apology."


    My answer instantly made the atmosphere tense.
