?Chapter 306:


    If apologies were effective, why were they still here?


    It became apparent why Herman had attempted to resolve his differences with Ellie earlier, offering a Hermes bag and a BMW X5. It turned out that the Herod family possessed the same disreputable tendencies.


    “Mr. Herod, thewyer’s letter will be sent by Mr. Thorpe’s representatives. If you wish to handle this privately, Mr. Thorpe’s consent is indispensable,” Ellie averred, turning her gaze away. The underlying message was clear: Ellie preferred the Herod family to negotiate with Kaiden rather than herself.


    The Herod family found themselves at an impasse, unable to devise a solution.


    Suddenly, Ellie’s eyes shifted past Samuel,nding on Laura, standing a few meters away from Maggie. “Doesn’t Laura have a crush on Mr. Thorpe? Why not let her attempt the honey trap?”


    A shadow fell upon the faces of the Herod family.


    That was especially true of Laura, whoseplexion shifted to a delicate blend of pale and crimson hues. It remained uncertain whether her reaction stemmed from fear or shyness. Observing Kaiden’s apparentck of interest in her, Laura shot a resentful re at Ellie.


    She suspected that Ellie had deliberately made thement.


    Ellie had intentionally remarked to embarrass her!


    Bruce nced down at the floor tiles.


    To him, Ellie appeared innocent yet harbored a scheming nature. Meeting Ellie’s gaze, Kaiden informed Samuel, “I’m not interested in a private resolution.”


    This implied that the matter couldn’t be settled discreetly.


    If the matter were resolved privately, Ellie and Kaiden would inevitably end up in a confrontation.


    “Mr. Thorpe, what I stated is factual. I witnessed Ellie intimately involved with a young man wearing a mask. My friends can vouch for this. A woman like Ellie isn’t worth your effort,” Herman eximed, growing agitated as hopes of reconciliation faded.


    ???€$? ?н?t??я? 1π ?alиoνε??.???


    However, Herman didn’t anticipate that the masked man Ellie was with that night outside the studio city’s night market was Kaiden. Laura nervously awaited Kaiden’s response, knowing no man could tolerate his partner being involved with another.


    Yet, Kaiden responded casually, “Really? But she’s worth it, believe me.”


    “Eh? What?!” Herman and the other members of the Herod family were stunned, their eyes widened in disbelief.


    Ellie couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. If not for the unfortunate timing, she might have burst outughing.


    Samuel took the initiative to respond. “Miss Gordon, let’s have a conversation about this. I assure you, I will oversee Herman issuing a public apology to you. It’s a resolution that benefits everyone, wouldn’t you agree?”


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Herod. I don’t concern myself with the benefits of your guys.” Ellie, detecting Samuel’s insincerity, chose not to delve further. Samuel’s proposed n presented no drawbacks for the Herod family and protected Maggie’s reputation.
