The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Aren’t You Going to Apologize On Your Knees?

Regardless of whether it was Richard or Marion, throughout the entire dinner, both of them addressed

the Royces with considerable distance in their tone.

Jameson’s heart sank little by little. Joseph and his wife could not even swallow their food, but Janice

seemed indifferent to these tensions, enjoying her meal with relish.

After half an hour, under Bernadette’s nudging, Janice put down her chopsticks. The waitstaff came in,

cleared the table, and brought in fruits and desserts.

Joseph had prepared some wine, but Richard stated that tonight was for serious discussions, and he

was not in the mood for drinks.

Now that the meal was over, it was time to address the real issues.

Joseph sighed, “Old friend, I know we, the Royces, owe you, the Cartiers, and especially apologize to

you, Marion. It’s my fault for not guiding my son properly, leading him to commit such hurtful

actions.”

“Rochard, Marion, I owe you an apology.”

Joseph paused for a moment, then opened a bottle of Moutai, filling his glass to the brim. He downed it

in one go and refilled the glass immediately, taking another sip.

Richard furrowed his brow, reaching out to stop him. “Joseph, you…”

Joseph pushed Richaed’s hand. “This is my responsibility; I failed to educate him!”

He took another drink.

Richard did not insist further. Jameson’s runaway wedding had caused Marion’s severe car accident; a

few drinks would not make amends for such a grave matter.

Marion took away the glass when she saw Joseph about to pour a third one. “Uncle Joseph, Jameson

is

an adult now, and he should bear the consequences of his actions himself.” novelbin

Bernadette chimed in, “Marion is right!”

With a fierce glare at Jameson, she added, “Go, apologize to Uncle Richard and Marion!”

Jameson knew what he had to do. The Royces had set the stage for all this, just to give him a chance,

right?

Jameson stood up, the addressed Richard. “Uncle Richard, I’m sorry for my impulsiveness and lack of

consideration, causing the Cartiers and Marion to endure so much disdain.”

Richard had never liked Jameson from the start, and that sentiment had not changed. Listening to his

apology, there was no improvement in his expression. “The person you owe an apology to isn’t me; it’s

Marion! I was never fully in favor of your marriage to her. You’ve been together for three years, and

because of that Miss Reagan, how much grievance have you caused Marion? If it weren’t for

Jameson felt the impact of Richard’s words. It was a slap in the face. He pursed his lips, walking up to

Marion. “I’m sorry, Marion. However you want me to earn your forgiveness, just let me know. I’ll do

whatever you say.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Marion’s hand and placed it on his chest.

Richard was not pleased. “Marion, you don’t need to overthink it. Do whatever you feel is right. You will

always have my support!”

Marion, initially hesitant, became more determined upon hearing Richard’s words. She pulled her hand

back, looking straight into Jameson’s eyes. “Didn’t you say you were going to apologize on your

knees?”
