Chapter 895 Insincere Apology
Chapter 895 Insincere Apology
Like Thomas said, he knew that his son was not good at controlling his feelings, and his playfulness
could not withstand the teasing of women. He was afraid that Gloria had ulterior motives in using Jack.
He was also afraid that Jack was confused by Gloria and he would fall in love with her, but should he Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
never have contact with such a woman.
"I know, but don't worry about it. She has no business skills at all. She comes to our company every
day, everyone knows she's up to. I won’t hang out with her. I don't want a woman that Brian doesn't
want."
Jack had self-consciousness and determination, he would not easily be seduced by any woman.
"By the way, dad, did you introduce Gloria to Brian?"
It suddenly occurred to Jack.
"Yes, your grandfather would like a girl from such a family to be his granddaughter-in-law."
Thomas answered directly.
"But character matters. Her family is quite powerful, but she has bad character, how can she match up
with Brian? You guys are really old and your tastes have all lowered, how can you introduce her to
Brian?"
What Jack wanted to talk about was taste; his father and grandfather had bad taste, and Gloria was not
a man of good character.
For all these years, he'd been of two attitudes about women - going after the ones he liked and being
polite the ones he had no feelings to. But Gloria was the one he did not want to be close to.
"I don’t know what is in your grandfather's mind. It is out of our control. You don't need to care about
these things, just stay away from Gloria."
Thomas didn't care if he had no taste, let alone what kind of person Gloria was, as long as she could
help him.
Thomas and Maria arrived at the hospital, and Maria reluctantly followed Thomas into the ward.
"Brother, you look better."
Thomas opened his mouth, and Maria looked indifferent and didn't say anything.
"Yes, I am better."
Rufus answered in a deep voice.
He saw these two as soon as they entered, and likewise saw the reluctant look on Maria's face.
Although he no longer blamed Maria, Maria's attitude was really annoying him.
As Rufus' voice fell, Thomas was waiting for Maria to speak. But she kept her mouth shut, he could
only remind Maria awkwardly.
"Dodn't you come over here to apologize brother? Say it, there's nothing to be ashamed, we are
families."
Thomas said to Maria, but Maria was silent.
"Maria ......"
"Forget it, no need to apologize."
Just as Thomas was about to continue, Rufus interrupted him.
Since Maria was so reluctant and didn't even want to speak, what was the point of such an insincere
apology? But Maria uttered at this hour.
"Brother, there is indeed nothing to apologize for. I was quite emotional that day, if I was not, you
wouldn't have been able to discover your condition so early."
"We are a family ......"
"Aunt Maria, so we should thank you?"
Before Maria could finish her words, Stella spoke up.
Her voice had resentment towards Maria.
"Stella, there's no need to thank me, we are families."
Maria was embarrassed, but undaunted.
She found an excuse where she didn't have to bow her head and admit she was wrong, and she didn't
think anyone could argue with that.
"Aunt Maria, you are really well-intentioned, not wanting to apologize but making a bunch of excuses.
Although we are families, we should apology for the thing we do wrong and thank the people who are
good for us, or it is unpleasant."
"It is ok that Aunt Maria did not apologize, but we can't be so rude. I thank Aunt Maria for helping my
dad to discover his condition and for coming to visit him today."
Stella spoke with sarcasm, causing Maria who was embarrassed to become even more wretched.
"What are you talking about, Stella? Who are you calling rude?"
Maria was traumatized, and she couldn't tense up as she questioned Stella.
"Uncle Thomas, do you think it's appropriate for Aunt Maria to be here? Her attitude will affect Dad's
recovery."
It was precisely because Stella was afraid that her father's emotions would be affected, so she didn't
want Maria to be there. If they had to fight, she wouldn't necessarily lose to Aunt Maria.
However, she was well-educated, and she would not argue with an arrogant person like Maria.
"Maria, behave yourself. Didn't we agree to apologize to brother? I know you're too embarrassed to say
sorry, but brother isn't unforgiving. You should at least let brother know how you feel."
Thomas knew that Stella was trying to drive Maria out, but if his father knew that Maria refused to
apologize, he would be angry.
"Forget it, no need to apologize."
"Maria doesn't need to be embarrassed, we are families."
Rufus spoke again. Stella had already made Maria embarrassed, and that was enough. Besides, she
did not mean to apologize.
"Stella, Paul and I are hungry, so we'd better eat first."
There was no need for Maria to apologize, and Rufus didn't want to see Maria, which was a disguised
way to drive Maria away.
"Brother, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet? Take your time, Maria and I will go back first and come back
to see you tomorrow."
Thomas offered to leave, but he was angry that Maria couldn't do a single thing right.
"Thomas, I don’t blame you, no need to dwell on the apology. If you have time, come over and keep me
company, if you don't have time, don't bother. I won’t take it to my heart, so don’t overthink about it."
"Go back if you have something to do."
Rufus said to Thomas, because he didn't want the relationship between the two families to be strained.
"Okay, I'll come over and keep your company when I have time."
Thomas left with Maria in anger. He was embarrassed, because Maria refused to say sorry.
When they got out of the hospital, they got into a big fight.
"What's wrong with your head? You always say useless things, and you refuse to apologize when
asked to. Let's go back and see what you have to say to Dad."
Thomas said to Maria angrily, but Maria still insisted.
"Why should I apologize when I'm not wrong? You're the one who has a problem with your head. Why
should I explain to your father? He's dying and he still wants to control everything."
"He must have everything under control as long as he lives. Aren't you unconvinced? Then go home
and explain to him, see if he will send you abroad."
"If you want to go abroad, go by yourself, Jack and I will stay."
Thomas felt it difficult to communicate with Maria, recently she got hot temper. Previously, she did not
dare to talk back to his father, but now she thought it was a pleasure.
"If I go, you go with me me, how can a family be separated?"
Seemingly scared, Maria did not speak with loud voice, but she had to make her attitude clear.
"We go with you? Give up the company? Give up the property? Give up the house? Give up the future
of Jack? Maria, you really have a problem in your brain. Others are shrewd, but you are being stupid."
"Why can’t you apologize? Is it harder than leaving the country? Maria, if you dare to spoil my deed
again, get the hell back to your mother's house. With my current strength, it's not a problem to find a
young and smart woman."
Thomas had to use this method to threaten Maria, because reasoning simply didn't make sense.
"You ......"
"Stop right there, you want to find another woman?"
Maria was unconvinced but scared, but Thomas had long ago walked away without listening to her.
Maria did not feel that she had done anything wrong.
She was the only mistress in the current Bennet family, and if she could get the position firmly in place,
it would be of great help to Jack and Thomas. But why didn't Thomas understand her good intentions
but stand against her?
Wendy had moved to a hotel since she had a fight with her mother. She was afraid to stay at home,
and she couldn't go back to her mother's house, so the hotel was the safest place for her currently.
Lying in bed, she woke up from a nightmare that Jonny tortured her.
Her state was awful, and the tranquilizers the doctor had prescribed for her did not have good effect.
Just as she covered herself in the quilt, her phone rang. The caller was Klara.
Wendy picked up the phone.
"Klara."
"Where are you, Wendy? I'm bored today, come out and have a walk with me."
Klara invited Wendy, her voice placid, feeling as if nothing had happened between them.
"I ...... okay. I'll wait for you at xx hotel cafe."
The hotel Wendy mentioned was where she was staying now. To be honest, she didn't even dare to go
out, she was really afraid that she would meet Jonny.
Half an hour later, the two men met at the cafe.
"Wendy, you have heavy dark circles under your eyes and you don’t look well, are you tired?"
Klara asked Wendy with great surprise. Wendy's state had stunned her.
"Yes, I got tired from work, but I'm going to take a vacation in a couple of days."
Wendy was perfunctory and deceitful. How could she honestly say that she was being tormented by
Jonny, the devil?
"Good, why make yourself so tired? Does your job require you to run around these days?"
From this question, she would learn the whereabouts of Wendy.
"I was out running for business in the past few days, but I now just need to sort out paperwork."
"When all this work is over, I'll have a break."
Wendy had been wandering the streets a while ago because she was scared at home, but these days
she didn't dare to go out, so she was bored in the hotel. But she really had the idea of going out for a
vacation, to a place where Jonny couldn't find her, so that she could properly adjust her emotions.
"If you have a break, Winnie will have a chance. Aren’t you afraid that they would be back together?"
"I heard that Brian’s father is sick and they're always in and out together these days, and you're losing
your chance again."
Klara had got the answer she wanted, and Jonny would not meet Wendy again.
