Chapter 85 When Roselle looked at Tessa, she felt an insidious rage inside her. Thus, she clenched her fists so
tightly that her sharp nails dug into her skin. She had never thought that Nicholas would ask her to
apologize to such a wretched woman!
However, she had an image to save, so she still suppressed her disdain as she said apologetically, “Yes,
you’re right.”
She took a deep breath to hold down her dissatisfaction, then turned and bowed toward Tessa, saying in
a meek voice, “Miss Reinhart, I’m really sorry. My mother had slandered you without thinking, and I’m
very sorry for that!”
Tessa gave her a calm look, her attitude cold. “Don’t say that. I’m a normal person of normal background,
so I cannot accept your apology.”
In the hospital that day, Yana had mocked Tessa and said that she was a lowly common folk. Now, Tessa
had retorted with the very same words.
Instantly, Roselle went pale in the face.
This woman really doesn’t know her place!

about it, but I am truly apologizing to everyone earnestly. I really hope you can forgive my mother for her
mistakes!”
Tessa remained unmoved. “Save your apology.”
Tessa wasn’t a saint, and she also knew that this woman might be apologizing on the outside, but on the
inside, she still looked down on her.
So, she refused to be nice as she said casually, “After all, President Sawyer had cleared my name for
me. I didn’t do it, so I have nothing to hide. As for you, I hope that you and your mother will never hurt
Greg again. He’s just an innocent child.”
“Understood.” Hearing the reproach, Roselle hastily smiled in apology. “But of course, I will never hurt
Greg. I even wish I was his mother.”
Unexpectedly, after Roselle had finished talking, Gregory immediately retorted, “Ew! You’re not my
mommy!”
The harsh truth slapped her face so hard she looked awful.
Nicholas could see that the boy didn’t like Roselle at all, so he said, “Since you’ve said your apology, you
can go back now.”
The request for her to return was so unanticipated it stunned her. She had wanted to grab the
opportunity to stay here after apologizing, but Nicholas had chased her out without any regard for her.
In a situation like that, she couldn’t insist on staying even if she was reluctant. She could only lower her
gaze in disappointment as she said quietly, “All right, then. I’m leaving now. See you next time…”
With that, she turned around and went out.
Then, there was an awkward atmosphere surrounding the people in the dining room.
After a brief sigh, Stefania was the first to speak up. “Actually, Roselle is a good girl. She’s gentle and
understanding, and she’s also a dutiful daughter. It’s too bad that she has a mother like Yana. It must be
hard for her.” .
Hearing that, Tessa remained emotionless, for she had no opinions or comments about Roselle’s
character.
There was, however, a certain chill in Nicholas’ eyes. He never believed that Roselle was an innocent
bystander.
Roselle was always with her mother, so the older lady couldn’t have done this of her own accord.

Nicholas just didn’t want to reveal the truth. His mother was already furious about this incident, so he
didn’t want to add to her troubles.
Later in the day, after lunch, Nicholas got ready to go to the company, and he would give Stefania a ride
as well.
After the two had left, Tessa finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
With Mrs. Sawyer around, Tessa felt uneasy no matter where she went, and she had to restrain herself
from getting too intimate with Gregory.
Now that Mrs. Sawyer was gone, Tessa and Gregory could finally relax.
Meanwhile, after taking her leave, Roselle felt regret and anger, and also a brief panic. She had returned
this time with an aim to win Nicholas over, but now everything was ruined.
No!
Roselle shook her head furiously, a determined expression on her face.
I must think of a way to convince Nicholas to believe me! There’s also that Tessa… I’ll completely get rid
of that woman, eventually!
