Chapter 146

  "Huh?!" James" jaw dropped to the floor looking at the

representatives from the Hummer family kneeling toward him. Everyone's

eyes were as big as saucers as they stared in disbelief. Who would've

thought that the high and mighty Hummer family would ever kneel toward

them in their lives? Were these mega–bigshots ever this humble before?

What was wrong with them today? Were they sick or something? "What's

happening? Didn't the Hummers come to retaliate? Why are they all

kneeling?" "What are the Hummers doing? This isn't some kind of reverse

psychology tactic, right?" "Something's fishy here. I think this is part

of their plan!" As the Nicholsons continued to stare at the Hummers who

were kneeling in front of them, not only were they not the least bit

happy about this, but this even frightened them tremendously. Some of

their legs even gave out as time passed. That was because the scene in

front of them was too overwhelming for them to handle. To think that a

mega bigshot would kneel for them? They couldn't even see it happening in

their dreams. "Forgive me. Ms. Nicholson. The Hummers were the ones who

were at fault last night. Thus, we are gathered here today for the young

lady to offer her sincere apologies to you in person. I hope you can

forgive us, Ms. Nicholson." After Fletcher took the lead and spoke up, he

immediately bent down and kneeled on the ground with the utmost

sincerity. "Our sincere apologies, Ms. Nicholson!" The representatives

from the Hummer family shouted. All of them kneeled in unison afterward,

without much thought for their reputation. Such a turn of events

dumbfounded the Nicholsons yet again. So, it was true! The Hummers were

apologizing to them! But the question now was, why? "W–why are you all?

What is going on, Mr. Lawson?" Dahlia stuttered while lying on her

hospital bed. She was so antsy about the situation that she immediately

got out of bed. Weren't they here for revenge? Why were they kneeling

toward her? "The Hummers aren't unreasonable people. We admit our

mistakes when we've done wrong, so we hope that you can forgive us for

our trespasses, Ms. Nicholson, Fletcher replied with his head lowered.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lawson? Please get up quickly! I'm

afraid there has been a misunderstanding. We'd already be glad if the

matter was dropped entirely. What other reason do we have to accuse the

Hummer family of?" Florence apologized profusely with a big smile after

she came to her senses. "Yes, she's right! Please get up from the floor,

Mr. Lawson!" The Nicholsons were still in a state of shock even now.

Chapter 146 To them, it was already a huge relief that the Hummers were

willing to let the matter slide. They wouldn't ever have the guts to

coerce them into apologizing to them. "As long as you continue to refuse

to accept our apology, we'll continue kneeling like this until the end of

time. Ms. Nicholson." Fletcher insisted stubbornly. "Please get off the

floor, Mr. Lawson. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened,

alright? Dahlia spluttered. somewhat at a loss for words. Even though

Tina was the one who was at fault, she ended up being the one who

suffered more severe injuries than Dahlia. While she was expected to

recover in about three to five days, she doubted if Tina could even get

out of bed by herself without resting in bed for hall a month first. This

was the main reason she was so speechless when she heard that Tina, a

member of the usually pigheaded Hummer family, was even going to

apologize to her. "Thank you, Ms. Nicholson, for being so kind to us!"

Fletcher exclaimed as his face lit up with joy. He proceeded to give her

a bow before gesturing for the representatives from the Hummer family to

get up off the floor. "This is great. So it was a misunderstanding, after

all. We should be fine now." Florence let cut a long sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know what had just happened, it was obvious that they

managed to tide through this time of crisis unscathed. "That's right!

Peace and harmony bring wealth, after all!" James grinned, even though

his back was drenched in a cold sweat. Just when everyone thought that

they were sale, Dustin suddenly spoke out, "Wait a minute. Tina was the

one who beat Dahlia up, so it's only fair that she apologize too," The

crowd immediately burst into an uproar the moment they heard that. Some

of the representatives from the Hummer family started exchanging glances

with frowns on their faces. Meanwhile, it felt as if the Nicholsons had

been struck by lightning, as all of them remained frozen on the spot. Was

that man batshit crazy?! The Hummers had already announced that they

planned to drop the matter entirely, so why was it that this man still

insisted on courting death on their behall? It was one thing to beat her

up and cause such a huge disaster to happen in the first place, so why

did he still insist on getting an apology out of Ms. Hummer when the

Hummers had already decided to drop the matter? The fucking audacity of

this bastard! "Rhys! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you

don't know what to say, then shut up!" The moment she reeled back from

her shock, Florence barked at him out of fear, "You little shit! If you

want to fucking kick the bucket so much, why don't you keep us out of

this!" James Chapter 146 cursed and felt like going up to him to

throw hands. "Some balls you got. Rhys! The Hummers let you off by the

grace of their hearts, and yet you still dare to say that so shamelessly!

Do you want to die so badly?" To them, Dustin was a lunatic who spouted

nonsense. Both parties had already reconciled with one another, so why

bother stirring up trouble again? What if this angered the Hummers? Then,

who would be the one to take the fall? "Is it not right to seek an

apology from someone who beat you up? Am I wrong?" Dustin asked plainly.

"Shut the fuck up, Rhys! You're a nuisance. You're going to get us

killed!" Florence jumped to her feet and cursed. "Dustin! Please stop

this, okay?" Dahlia pleaded as she broke out in a cold sweat too. She

hadn't expected the man in front of her to spew such outrageous words

from his mouth in their current predicament. "Fine. I'll shut up. I'll

leave the rest up to all of you," Dustin replied. Without saying anything

more, he retreated to a corner, by his own admission. "I think his brain

must have been fried, Ms. Hummer. Thus, you shouldn't pay him any mind."

Florence immediately lunged forward to apologize, as she was afraid of

offending the Hummer family. "Yes, yes! This guy is a psychopath. He no

longer has dealings with the Nicholsons." James was also full of smiles

as he feigned humility. However, instead of feeling any sort of relief,

the representatives from the Hummer family turned extraordinarily gloomy

instead. After Fletcher whispered a few words to Tina, who was nearly

fully paralyzed in her wheelchair, Tina gritted her teeth and finally

opened her mouth to croak something. 1–I'm sorry…it was all my fault,"

She said, out of breath. The whole room fell dead silent the moment she

finished. Florence and the rest were even more shell–shocked, as their

expressions immediately twisted into shock. Did the spoiled young lady of

the Hummers, the one who called all the shots in Swinton, actually just

apologize?
