Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 88

The moment they thought about the words they had hurled at Katie, knowing those words would fall back on them tomorrow, they became afraid, terrified!

When they were cursing Katie, they felt a sense of satisfaction, but now that the situation implicated them, they panicked.

Moreover, even Noah, the Minister had spoken. Wouldn't all the media reporters in Lisle go crazy? They would undoubtedly report extensively, spreading the news to every corner of Lisle, maybe even nationwide! At that time, the Hartleys would become a mouse running across the street, universally condemned.

They might be pelted with rotten eggs and vegetables if they walked on the street, covered in a foul smell!

Even the reputation of the Hartleys Group would plummet, sinking to rock bottom, perhaps even facing bankruptcy overnight!

No, this couldn't be allowed to happen!

"Matilda, what nonsense are you spouting? Quickly apologize to Katie and Minister Denver," Dave scolded first.

"Yes, Matilda, apologize quickly. We, the Hartleys, aren't like this. We absolutely won't dismiss a meritorious servant."

"Right, who was it that wanted to dismiss Katie just now? Apologize to her. Katie has been working hard for our Hartleys Group. How could we fire her?"

All the members of the Hartleys spoke up.

Staring wide-eyed, Matilda couldn't believe what she was witnessing.

She never imagined that what happened to Katie just now would now be happening to her.

"What are you still standing there for? Apologize quickly."

"I say you have to kneel down to show sincerity!"

The Hartleys members urged incessantly.

Listening to the accusations and anger from the Hartleys, Matilda felt the despair with each reproach. Every word felt like a knife stabbing her heart, torturing her as if she were being executed by a thousand cuts, making her suffer unbearably! Was this what it felt like to be abandoned and humiliated by others?

Staggering back three steps, she fell to the ground unsteadily.

The next second, tears streamed down her face. The boundless darkness surrounded her like a tide, leaving only endless despair in her heart.

At this moment, she regretted deeply and resented why she insisted on stopping Katie from leaving earlier.

If she had let Katie go, none of this would have happened.

"If she had let Katie leave, wouldn't Katie have already been dismissed and expelled from the family?"

And now, with Katie turning the tables and seeing the momentum of the Hartleys, they obviously wouldn't agree to dismiss Katie or expel her from the Hartleys.

The originally promising situation had now turned into a bubble! And all of this was her own doing!

Matilda deeply regretted it!

Unfortunately, there was no medicine in this world that could cure regret!

This was the sentence she had just said to Katie, and now it was happening to her!

Feeling wronged, angry, and extremely desperate, she suddenly thought of someone.

"Daniel, save me, please save me. Speak up for me." Matilda shouted.

Daniel's expression turned dark, and his face no longer had the gentle smile. The situation had completely exceeded his plan. Although he didn't know why it had turned out like this, he knew that the overall situation was lost. If he continued to be stubborn, it would only appear more foolish.

At this moment, apologizing was the wise choice.

Moreover, the failure of this matter was not a big deal; he still had a backup plan!

The real show was about to begin!

With these thoughts in mind, Daniel took a step forward, bowing to apologize, "Katie, I'm sorry. We all misunderstood you."

"I represent everyone in offering you an apology and hope you can forgive us."

Matilda was stunned and couldn't believe it. She shouted, "Husband, what are you... Don't you still have a second..."

"Shut up!" Daniel roared, reprimanding, "Quickly apologize to Katie."

Matilda stared, as if she didn't recognize Daniel. Was this still her husband?

At this moment, her husband didn't help her. Instead, he scolded her like everyone else, accused her?

Even Adam, that lunatic, knew how to protect Katie, but Daniel...

Matilda felt a heartache like being twisted by a knife, and tears flowed out like water, seemingly without end.

"Matilda, for the sake of our Hartleys, just lower your head and admit your mistake."

"Yes, do you really want to see our Hartleys pointed at and scolded by thousands? It's just a misunderstanding of Katie, and an apology is only right."

"Originally, it was a misunderstanding of Katie. Apologizing is the least we can do."

The Hartleys members urged once again.

Matilda trembled all over, but no matter how unwilling she was, she could only endure it.

"I-I'm sorry... It was my misunderstanding of you." Matilda closed her eyes and said painfully.

Adam snorted and said, "What about him? Just now, he dismissed my wife and wanted to expel her from the Hartleys, right?"

Terry was instantly stunned, staring with wide eyes and enunciating each word, "Adam, don't be too arrogant!"

Adam took a step forward, loudly saying, "You also know not to be too arrogant? When my wife agreed to withdraw from the Hartleys just now, how did you all act? You pressed her step by step, not wanting to let her go!" "You would have preferred her to crash to her death in this Hartleys hall before willing to let it go!"

"Now you're telling me not to be too arrogant? It's not just you; everyone here... Everyone who cursed my wife today, you all have to apologize to her!"
