Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 205

"Darling…" Johnny grimaced in pain while clutching his knee as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He glared at Yolanda and tried to comprehend how she managed to make Melina back down.

"Ms. Henderson, I admit my attitude was poor earlier. I apologize…"Melina forced a smile and approached Yolanda before bowing deeply in respect.

"Please don't hold a grudge against someone like me!"

Yolanda glanced at Sharon. "You should be apologizing to her."

Melina froze.

Apologizing to someone she had just humiliated was the last thing she wanted to do. However, she knew refusing to do so would mean further consequences for the Quinlan family.

She bit her lip hard enough to taste blood. Growing up, she had always been the one to humiliate others and was never the victim. She was indignant!

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"

Yolanda's smile faded, and her gaze grew cold.

"I won't force you if you refuse. You can just leave."

Melina remained still, realizing that Yolanda's invitation to leave wasn't a way to let her off the hook. She knew that if she walked out now, things would spiral out of control.

"Ms. Jones, I'm sorry!" After taking a deep breath, Melina finally lowered her head and bowed deeply before Sharon.

"I shouldn't have tried to take your boyfriend or called you a nouveau riche. I apologize!"

Melina's apology took Sharon aback, and she quickly glanced at Yolanda.

Just minutes ago, if someone had told her that Melina would apologize, she would have thought it ridiculous.

Even after all that had happened, she didn't want to become a bully herself.

Yolanda had anticipated Sharon's response. She wasn't the type to seek revenge, after all.

It was precisely Sharon's character that made Yolanda confident in handing over company matters to her.

"Thank you, Ms. Jones! Thank you!" Melina hadn't expected such an easy forgiveness and repeatedly expressed her gratitude before leading her group out of the room.

With the person backing him now cowed and gone, Johnny had no choice but to retreat with his friends in defeat.

Afterward, Yolanda and Sharon chatted and enjoyed their meal until after 10:00 pm before settling the bill.

Once home and freshly out of the shower, Yolanda received a call from Zach.
