Chapter 124: A Storm
"My ears are playing with me now, My lord. This girl must have been a witch. I thought you told me to apologize." Perhaps the man had already realized it, but he was in denial. Even Olivia had a hard time believing in it.
She was only acting like that because she was furious. She had never believed that one of the lords would ever apologize to her. But then, he was indeed wrong and disrespectful. Perhaps apologizing was not that difficult.
She watched his face as he stared at Damon as if waiting for his laughter and denial. A strange pleasure surged through her veins when his gaze only sharpened.
"I am sure a lord like you would not make such a simple mistake. Now hurry up and do it." The man was at a loss for words. He had never apologized to a woman. Much less a fallen noble who did not hold much power.
He would not do it! He could not do it. He started at the ground as if the tapestry was a rare item he was fascinated with.
The tension in the room thinning the air. Olivia took a deep breath.
"It is alright, your grace. I do not need an apology! Words had no value after all. People never speak the truth anyways." Benard finally smiled. At least, the woman knew her position. But what was wrong with the lord?
He could not help but feel that the lord was protecting his enemy by helping Olivia. Did he not know who was on his side? The man felt resentment.
"Very well, then as the compensation of his rudeness, the lord would offer you his ring." Damon pointed at the large pink diamond. "He wanted to pay you for your help from the start. Right, lord Benard." the man wanted to nod. It was true he wanted to pay for Olivia.
