If Joanna refused to forgive them, they would face the possibility of being expelled. Losing some face was nothing compared to being expelled.
Joanna still looked at them with cold eyes, showing no sympathy, and spoke in a cold tone without any room for negotiation: "I'm sorry, but no matter what you do, I will not forgive you."
How could she not see that Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit were not really repentant at all?
Although she still didn't know why the two of them came to apologize to her, it was definitely not voluntary.
They didn't think they had really done anything wrong.
They appeared sincere in apologizing to her on the surface, but who knows what they really thought of her in their hearts.
If it weren't for their fake accounts being exposed, Joanna would never have believed that the nasty comments on the forum were actually from them.
They had called her a "siren" and a "slut," so if she chose to forgive them, she would be humiliating herself.
