"It's okay, don't worry about it," Apple said lightly. She didn't feel that Gladys had any ill will toward her.
According to Apple, it was so sweet of her to approach her and apologize in person, even though it wasn't her fault, especially since it was certain that the the women who were at the party were her friends, people who Gladys had known better than Apple.
But, she preferred to defend her instead. Maybe it was too soon to say this, but Apple seemed to be good friends with Gladys, at least she could befriend one of Jayden's cousins and that meant a lot to her.
Gladys was about to say something, but she felt something in Apple's hand that she was holding. "Hmm? What's this?" Gladys felt the ring on Apple's finger and raised her hand. "AH! This ring!" she exclaimed. Of course Gladys, as a member of the Tordoff family, knew this ring, which was also an heirloom.
And it was certain that she knew the meaning of the ring as well.
