<strong>Chapter 158 Reiming The Lost Respect.</strong>


    Cecilia had arrived at Vivian’s house rather early.


    The two of them had breakfast together while waiting for Ste toe and apologize.


    “Why did Ste suddenly decide to apologize?” Vivian was somewhat puzzled.


    A few days ago, Ste was still splurging to suppress the trending topics, but now, she said she wanted to apologize all of a sudden. It was truly puzzling.


    Cecilia didn’t know either.


    Usually, Nathaniel and Zachary would definitely do something whenever Ste got into trouble.


    If they wanted to suppress such trending topics, they could do so easily.


    The only usible exnation at that time could be, for some reason, neither of them wanted to help her.


    “Don’t overthink things. Just focus on reiming the respect you once lost. That’s all that matters,” Cecilia advised her.


    “Right.”


    “Anyway, I’ll hide away for a bit. Take your time to shine.”


    “Okay.”


    When Ste arrived at ten.. Cecilia had already retreated to the bedroom.


    Apanying Ste was also awyer.


    Ste, donning a mask and sunsses, stepped into the mansion. Upon entering, she turned her gaze toward Vivian, who was seated on the sofa.


    Vivian had a bit of baby fat, making her appear exceptionally youthful.


    “Hello, Ms. Kennedy,” Ste greeted, without removing her sunsses.


    Upon hearing this, Vivian didn’t even offer her a seat. Instead, she cut straight to the chase and said, “Let’s skip the formalities, Ms. Ross. Just go ahead and apologize.”


    Ste choked up.


    Thinking about the news she had seen online, she feltpelled to apologize. “I’m sorry.”


    “I don’t think you’re sincere at all. Let’s just drop this conversation,” Vivian said, deliberately making things difficult for her.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Ste was growing somewhat impatient, but thewyer by her side held her back.


    She could only remove her sunsses and mask, bowing once more as she apologized again, “I’m sorry. I hope your esteemedpany won’t hold it against me. I am willing to ept all thepensations you’ve proposed.”


    Seeing the usually arrogant Ste apologize, Vivian experienced an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.


    “I recall my client stating that you should apologize to me first, then publicly admit to the media. and the masses that you’ve giarized. Would you agree to this?” Vivian had already heard about these demands from Cecilia.


    There was no way they would let a copycat like Ste off the hook so easily.


    Ste didn’t respond. Instead, she turned her gaze toward thewyer standing off to the side.


    Thewyer then stepped forward and said, “Ms. Kennedy, I wonder if you could do Ste a favor? Perhaps you could have a thorough discussion with your client, persuading them not to admit to giarism? If you agree, I have connections in the capital’s office that can help you gain the status and reputation you desire at the fastest speed.”


    Vivian was not surprised.


    The sentiment sure is favorable. This guy is here to win me over! I was wondering how Ste would willingly apologize to me!


    Vivianughed. “You’ve miscalcted. Unlike the famous Ms. Ross, I don’t care about status or reputation.”


    After she finished speaking, she approached Ste, looking at her with a mocking expression.


    “Ms. Ross, the so–called superstar, a woman addicted to giarism, who lived a reckless life abroad and even stole someone’s husband upon returning home. You should abandon any hope for reputation. Just brace yourself for the impendingwsuit and the inevitable fall from grace! I’m telling you, I had no intention of epting your apology today.”


    Upon hearing her words, Ste looked at her in disbelief. “What did you say?”


    What shocked her even more was when the bedroom door was pushed open, and Cecilia actually walked out.


    So, she had seen the way I had humbled myself earlier?


    She was instantly filled with anger.


    “Ceci, are you deliberately letting your friend take revenge on me because you couldn’t win Nathaniel’s heart over?”


    Cecilia was utterly bewildered.


    Every word this woman spoke was truly irritating.


    When Ste was confronted like this by Cecilia, there was no way she could keep herposure and apologize.


    She looked at Cecilia, her eyes filled with resentment. “I gave you a way out, but if you refuse to take it, then don’t me me for what I’m about to do!”


    Having said that, she stormed off, heedless of thewyer beside her.


    Ste returned to the minivan and, once she was alone, she picked up her phone and dialed Sean’s number. “Didn’t you promise to protect me? I want Cecilia dead! As long as she’s dead, I’ll return with you immediately,” she demanded.
