Chapter 148: A sudden friend (2)
"Did I say something wrong?" Inez asked, wondering what had happened for the woman to scowl in such a hideous manner suddenly.
"It has nothing to do with you," replied Jules with a snort. "It’s my dad. After he found out that I had done something wrong, he asked me to come here and apologise to Alpha Sokolov." This was the only thing that made Jules annoyed to bits.
It was Killian who had treated her like she was nothing. He should be the one who should be apologising to her for treating her as if she were beneath him, and yet the one who was sent here to apologise was her! It was really too much.
When she thought about how she had to apologise to Killian, who had embarrassed and insulted her, Jules couldn’t help but feel aggrieved as if someone had shoved a sour lemon into her mouth.
"You are here to apologise?" Inez, if possible, felt even more guilty when she heard the words of the woman. She could, of course, understand Jules’ anger better than anyone. "I am really sorry—"
"It’s not your fault," Jules interrupted her. "My father would have sent me here anyway; he makes it sound like I am never going to get married." She might be a bit arrogant, but she was also a beautiful woman who was rich and had a really good family.
Was there a need for her father to treat her like she was hard to love?
Inez stayed quiet. She hardly knew anything about Jules, and it wouldn’t be right for her to comment on such private affairs.
"Jules? Jules!? Where are you? Did I not say that you are not allowed to hide or run?" Serafina, who rushed up the moor, looked at her cousin with a hint of reproach. When she saw someone standing next to Jules, her pace faltered, and she looked at Inez with a hint of confusion and wariness in her eyes.
