Chapter 23
Chapter 23 This Is Your Retribution
Marion’s words caused a noticeable change in Joseph and Bernadette’s expressions. Janice was also
taken aback, glancing at Jameson and then at Marion, “You don’t have to get on your knees to be
forgiven, do you?”
Janice indirectly asked the question that Jameson and the others wanted to know. Bernadette, seizing
the opportunity, added, “We’re in the modern era; there’s no need to do that! I’m sure you don’t mean
that, Marion!”
Marion looked at Jameson. “My dad told me last night that you have to get on your knees and beg me
for an apology today.”
Her words were direct, leaving no room for interpretation. Jameson felt embarrassed as he looked at
Marion, “If I do that, will you forgive me?”
“Forgiving you is my choice, but whether you apologize or not is yours.”
Upon hearing Marion’s words, Bernadette’s expression soured. She wanted Marion to become the
Royces‘ daughter–in–law, but given the size of Lumina City, there were plenty of fish in the sea, so to
speak.
“Do I have to get on my knees to apologize?” Jameson asked again.
Marion found it amusing, “Didn’t you say so yourself last night? Don’t you remember?”
Jameson’s face stiffened for a moment. Indeed, he had mentioned doing just that.
But that was just a dramatic statement, and yet Marion took it seriously. Despite his reluctance,
Jameson had no choice but to keep his promise.
He took a step back and said through gritted teeth, “Fine, I’ll get on my knees and apologize to you,
Marion!”
As he spoke, it was almost as if he pronounced each word with great difficulty. Marion looked at him
without any intention of stopping him. She sat there, waiting.
The private room was now eerily quiet, and the two sides were in a standoff. After a moment, Jameson
finally moved. However, just as he was about to kneel, a woman’s voice interrupted the scene. “No!
Jameson, don’t!”
Sally, crying, rushed in, pushed Jameson away, and kneeled in front of Marion, “I should be the one on
my knees! It’s all because of me, Marion. Regardless of Jameson’s actions, it’s all because of me! He
delayed your wedding just to save me. If you blame anyone, blame me!”
“I apologize to you! I’m begging for your forgiveness!”
Jameson, seeing this, quickly reached out to pull Sally up, “Sally, get up. You don’t need to do this!”
However, Sally pushed him away, “Jameson, don’t mind me! As long as Marion is no longer angry, I

can do anything!”
Unable to persuade her, Jameson looked at Marion, “Marion, what do you want me to do?” novelbin
Sally screamed.
The tea was hot, but not scalding.
Jameson could not bear it any longer. He snatched the glass from Marion’s hand. “Enough, Marion!”
