"Why, why is he here too?" "Who?" Samantha didn't know who Janice was referring to, so she asked.
Janice hugged her directly and buried her face in her embrace. "Mom, I don't want to see him now. I look so hideous. How can he seelike this? He already dislikesso looking like this now, it will definitely disappoint him." Her voice was very faint, so only Samantha could hear her. After all, Janice was her daughter. How could she not understand what she meant? Janice was referring to Maddox.
Janice had lost weight in the past few days. She did not dress up and had stayed in the detention room the whole time. Hence, her image had collapsed in front of the person she loved when Maddox cin.
If it was in the past, Samantha would have definitely helped Janice get through this crisis. However, at that moment, compared to her appearance, her reputation and life were more important. Hence, Samantha couldn't care less. She took Janice's hands and whispered, "Good girl, don't worry about whether he is here or not. I chere to save you today. You have done the wrong thing so you have to apologize to them and admit your mistakes seriously. You have to promise that you won't do it again, do you understand?" Upon hearing those words, Janice who was buried in her mother's arms trembled violently, and then she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what are you talking about?" "Apologize well, do you understand?" Samantha pinned a look on her and warned her in a low voice. "I have spent a lot of effort to get this opportunity. If you don't apologize well, this opportunity will be gone." "A chance that you begged for? Did you beg that woman?" Janice suddenly becaggravated and her eyes burned with great anger and hatred. Her expression stunned Samantha. She clenched her teeth and squeezed Janice's wrist hard. She lowered her voice and said, "Listen tocarefully, Janice Lowell. You will apologize to them seriously today and you must be sincerely regretful. You must not have this look in your eyes later. After all, it is your fault!" It was her fault? How was it her fault? Janice didn't think that she had done anything wrong. Even if she did, it was because she had failed to splash the acid onto Minerva's face and that she had left her standing there safe and sound.
"I won't apologize," Janice said with fierceful eyes. "It's not my fault. She stole my man first!" "Silly child, what are you talking about?" Samantha widened her eyes and a bad feeling rose in her heart. Her daughter was obstinate and unruly, and she was still unwilling to apologize. "Do you know, if you don't apologize today, you may be locked up here for a long time?" What? As soon as she heard that she was going to be locked up in such a place forever, Janice felt a little scared. However, to ask her to apologize to the woman who stole her man? How could she do that? "Make the choice for yourself. You either apologize and leave, or you don't apologize and stay here. I believe you know which one you should choose." At this point, Samantha had let go of Janice and let her make her own choice.
After she stood up, she smiled at Minerva and said softly, "I've already told Janice. She's been through a lot of hardships over the past few days. She also knows that she's made a mistake. Janice's already thought it through." Minerva looked at Samantha and thought that as Janice's mother, she had done a good job.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn front of maternal love, Minerva was very respectful towards her. Thus, she nodded at her and smiled.
Samantha's heart softened a little. Looking at Minerva's current state, it seemed like she would forgive her daughter. As long as she could forgive her, everything else would be fine.
However, Janice was still sitting on the ground, unwilling to get up. She didn't want Maddox to see her in such a state. She was too uncollected.
Although she hadn't looked in the mirror these days, she didn't need to look at herself to know what kind of state she was in. She hadn't taken a shower for a few days, so her hair must be messy and the makeup she had put on that day must have been ruined.
Furthermore, the stench of her body was foul and she just couldn't do it...
"No, I don't want to!" Janice shouted in grief.
She held her head and said painfully, "I don't want to see him! Mom, make him go out, go out!" It was as if Janice had suddenly gone mad. Minerva didn't know what had happened, but she had cto see if Janice had regretted her actions so she merely stood aside with a calm expression.
All of a sudden, Janice seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly raised her head and shot a piercing glare at Minerva.
The look in her eyes was filled with infinite anger and resentment.
Everyone was shocked and Abigail looked at her incredulously.
It was hard to imagine that such a hateful look could be seen in the eyes of such a young girl.
Samantha cursed in her heart. She rushed forward and stood in front of Janice, saying, "What are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to Miss Hanover and Mr. Yardley!" "I don't want to apologize! Why should I apologize?" Janice roared. "Mom, I thought you were here to help me, but why are you forcingto apologize to her? What did I do wrong?" Samantha sucked in a breath of cold air and her face turned pale in an instant. Her body seemed to be frozen and she just stood there motionless.
Minerva was expressionless at first but when she heard Janice's words, her expression changed a little. Then, she unconsciously looked at Samantha, who was standing beside her.
It was really a pity for her efforts before.

"It's her fault!" Janice pointed at Minerva and gritted her teeth. "I went on a blind date with Maddox first She's just a designer. Why did she shatch my blind date in front of me? Which part ofisn't as good as her? Which part? Is it just because she's better at seducing men than me?" Slap...
Samantha must have been so angry that she suddenly rushed forward and slapped Janice hard on the face.
"What are you talking about? Apologize right now! What have we taught you at home? I've brought you up so well for so many years, and this is what you have learned? If he doesn't like you, then he doesn't like you. Why are you forcing it?" "Quickly apologize right now. If not, I won't care about you anymore!" "Mom!" Janice was so angry that her eyes turned red. She still couldn't throw a tantrum at her mother, but she was staring at Minerva with resentment.
Her glare was so vicious that Maddox could not ignore her. He frowned and the atmosphere around him suddenly tumed ice-cold. Just as he was about to extend his arm and pull Minerva behind him, she stepped in front of him. She stood directly in front of Janice, merely just a few steps away. She looked at Janice with no expressions and the calmness on her face was completely different from Janice's anger.
"I won't explain because I don't think it's necessary. However, if you still think that I had robbed you of your man, then I'll tell you the truth."
