"Huh?!" James" jaw dropped to the floor looking at the
representatives from the Hummer family kneeling toward him. Everyone's
eyes were as big as saucers as they stared in disbelief. Who would've
thought that the high and mighty Hummer family would ever kneel toward
them in their lives? Were these mega–bigshots ever this humble before?
What was wrong with them today? Were they sick or something? "What's
happening? Didn't the Hummers come to retaliate? Why are they all
kneeling?" "What are the Hummers doing? This isn't some kind of reverse
psychology tactic, right?" "Something's fishy here. I think this is part
of their plan!" As the Nicholsons continued to stare at the Hummers who
were kneeling in front of them, not only were they not the least bit
happy about this, but this even frightened them tremendously. Some of
their legs even gave out as time passed. That was because the scene in
front of them was too overwhelming for them to handle. To think that a
mega bigshot would kneel for them? They couldn't even see it happening in
their dreams. "Forgive me. Ms. Nicholson. The Hummers were the ones who
were at fault last night. Thus, we are gathered here today for the young
lady to offer her sincere apologies to you in person. I hope you can
forgive us, Ms. Nicholson." After Fletcher took the lead and spoke up, he
immediately bent down and kneeled on the ground with the utmost
sincerity. "Our sincere apologies, Ms. Nicholson!" The representatives
from the Hummer family shouted. All of them kneeled in unison afterward,
without much thought for their reputation. Such a turn of events
dumbfounded the Nicholsons yet again. So, it was true! The Hummers were
apologizing to them! But the question now was, why? "W–why are you all?
What is going on, Mr. Lawson?" Dahlia stuttered while lying on her
hospital bed. She was so antsy about the situation that she immediately
got out of bed. Weren't they here for revenge? Why were they kneeling
toward her? "The Hummers aren't unreasonable people. We admit our
mistakes when we've done wrong, so we hope that you can forgive us for
our trespasses, Ms. Nicholson, Fletcher replied with his head lowered.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lawson? Please get up quickly! I'm
afraid there has been a misunderstanding. We'd already be glad if the
matter was dropped entirely. What other reason do we have to accuse the
Hummer family of?" Florence apologized profusely with a big smile after
she came to her senses. "Yes, she's right! Please get up from the floor,
Mr. Lawson!" The Nicholsons were still in a state of shock even now.
Chapter 146 To them, it was already a huge relief that the Hummers were
willing to let the matter slide. They wouldn't ever have the guts to
coerce them into apologizing to them. "As long as you continue to refuse
to accept our apology, we'll continue kneeling like this until the end of
time. Ms. Nicholson." Fletcher insisted stubbornly. "Please get off the
floor, Mr. Lawson. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened,
alright? Dahlia spluttered. somewhat at a loss for words. Even though
Tina was the one who was at fault, she ended up being the one who
suffered more severe injuries than Dahlia. While she was expected to
recover in about three to five days, she doubted if Tina could even get
out of bed by herself without resting in bed for hall a month first. This
was the main reason she was so speechless when she heard that Tina, a
member of the usually pigheaded Hummer family, was even going to
apologize to her. "Thank you, Ms. Nicholson, for being so kind to us!"
Fletcher exclaimed as his face lit up with joy. He proceeded to give her
a bow before gesturing for the representatives from the Hummer family to
get up off the floor. "This is great. So it was a misunderstanding, after
all. We should be fine now." Florence let cut a long sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know what had just happened, it was obvious that they
managed to tide through this time of crisis unscathed. "That's right!
Peace and harmony bring wealth, after all!" James grinned, even though
his back was drenched in a cold sweat. Just when everyone thought that
they were sale, Dustin suddenly spoke out, "Wait a minute. Tina was the
one who beat Dahlia up, so it's only fair that she apologize too," The
crowd immediately burst into an uproar the moment they heard that. Some
of the representatives from the Hummer family started exchanging glances
with frowns on their faces. Meanwhile, it felt as if the Nicholsons had
been struck by lightning, as all of them remained frozen on the spot. Was
that man batshit crazy?! The Hummers had already announced that they
planned to drop the matter entirely, so why was it that this man still
insisted on courting death on their behall? It was one thing to beat her
up and cause such a huge disaster to happen in the first place, so why
did he still insist on getting an apology out of Ms. Hummer when the
Hummers had already decided to drop the matter? The fucking audacity of
this bastard! "Rhys! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you
don't know what to say, then shut up!" The moment she reeled back from
her shock, Florence barked at him out of fear, "You little shit! If you
want to fucking kick the bucket so much, why don't you keep us out of
this!" James Chapter 146 cursed and felt like going up to him to
throw hands. "Some balls you got. Rhys! The Hummers let you off by the
grace of their hearts, and yet you still dare to say that so shamelessly!
Do you want to die so badly?" To them, Dustin was a lunatic who spouted
nonsense. Both parties had already reconciled with one another, so why
bother stirring up trouble again? What if this angered the Hummers? Then,
who would be the one to take the fall? "Is it not right to seek an
apology from someone who beat you up? Am I wrong?" Dustin asked plainly.
"Shut the fuck up, Rhys! You're a nuisance. You're going to get us
killed!" Florence jumped to her feet and cursed. "Dustin! Please stop
this, okay?" Dahlia pleaded as she broke out in a cold sweat too. She
hadn't expected the man in front of her to spew such outrageous words
from his mouth in their current predicament. "Fine. I'll shut up. I'll
leave the rest up to all of you," Dustin replied. Without saying anything
more, he retreated to a corner, by his own admission. "I think his brain
must have been fried, Ms. Hummer. Thus, you shouldn't pay him any mind."
Florence immediately lunged forward to apologize, as she was afraid of
offending the Hummer family. "Yes, yes! This guy is a psychopath. He no
longer has dealings with the Nicholsons." James was also full of smiles
as he feigned humility. However, instead of feeling any sort of relief,
the representatives from the Hummer family turned extraordinarily gloomy
instead. After Fletcher whispered a few words to Tina, who was nearly
fully paralyzed in her wheelchair, Tina gritted her teeth and finally
opened her mouth to croak something. 1–I'm sorry…it was all my fault,"
She said, out of breath. The whole room fell dead silent the moment she
finished. Florence and the rest were even more shell–shocked, as their
expressions immediately twisted into shock. Did the spoiled young lady of
the Hummers, the one who called all the shots in Swinton, actually just
apologize?
