?<strong>Chapter 806:</strong>


    Many had sneered at Carrie for her humble background, but standing before the Morrison family, how many of them could truly im they weren’t from a “small background” themselves?


    The guests no longer cared about mocking Aliza. Instead, panic set in as they silently reyed every word they had spoken earlier, trying to gauge just how much they might have offended Carrie.


    Aliza gripped the edge of her dress tightly, struggling to maintain herposure.


    The sting of humiliation rose in her chest, causing a dull ache in her heart.


    “Ms. Campbell, Miss Webster, I apologize. I was misled and made some mistakes in the past. I sincerely apologize and hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.” Each word felt like it was being torn from her throat, every syble bitter and painful.


    The moment she uttered her apology, all eyes instinctively turned to the Morrison family.


    If they chose to forgive her, perhaps the rest of them could breathe easier. However, if the Morrison family refused to show mercy, the others would need to start considering how to make amends with Carrie themselves—before it was toote.


    Aliza spoke each word with a sense of humiliation, but she could not deny the truth—that the Morrison family held power not just over her, but over the entire Herrera family.


    She reminded herself that admitting her mistake now would help her avoid future conflicts.


    She nned to marry Kristopher and live overseas temporarily, only returning when the scandal had been forgotten by everyone. Kristopher possessed immense wealth, and people always prioritized their own benefits.

    In Isonridge’s high society, many families had status and influence, yet theycked substantial wealth. In these times, a solid financial foundation was essential, for money had the power to open any door.


    This reality supported Aliza’s position, as her father’s business achievements granted him influence within the Herrera n. Eventually, those who had scorned her would seek her favor, motivated by financial gain.


    With this thought, Aliza felt a bit more at ease.


    She sat on the floor, hoping that Carrie and Marina would forgive her so they could all move past this chapter.


    Jenesis turned to Carrie and asked, “Carrie, do you ept Miss Herrera’s apology?”


    Carrie responded withposure, “What’s done is done. I’m willing to let it go. I just hope Miss Herrera will refrain from using such tactics against others in the future, especially against someone as innocent as Marina.”


    Marina added, “Since Carrie has forgiven you, I will too. But my forgiveness means only that I won’t pursue this matter further. We can’t be friends anymore.”


    She raised her eyes to the other guests and continued, “If anyone wishes to be friends with Aliza Herrera, they should let me know. Being her friend means severing ties with me!”
