Chapter 1230:
Mayer stood up, his expression just as somber and remorseful. “Miss Wright, Mr. Clark, Carmelita made a terrible mistake. As her parents, Brielle and I did a very poor job in disciplining her properly. Please accept our sincerest apologies.”
Brielle quickly followed suit, apologizing as well.
Mayer then turned to glare at his daughter, who just stood there as if she had nothing to do with the situation. “Carmelita! Apologize right now!”
Carmelita pursed her lips, not bothering to hide her resistance.
“Did you hear what I said, Carmelita?” Mayer barked.
Carmelita finally looked at Belinda, her eyes filled with reluctance. “I’m sor—”
“No need,” Belinda coldly interjected.
The entire Davidson family turned to look at Belinda…
Carmelita was a bit surprised. She had expected Belinda to act all high and mighty, waiting for her to grovel at her feet. Yet, she didn’t even seem to want an apology from her? Was this woman really that kind?
“Miss Wright,” Brielle said to Belinda. “I know you are a kind person, but Carmelita really crossed a line this time. It’s only right that she apologizes to you.”
Belinda let out a cold laugh. She slowly turned her gaze to Carmelita, her eyes glinting with mockery. “I said there’s no need for her to apologize to me because whether she apologizes or not, I won’t forgive her. So, there really is no point in you forcing her to apologize when she’s clearly so unwilling to do it. I’m not interested in accepting an insincere apology.”
Mayer and Brielle visibly stiffened, while Carmelita immediately blew a fuse. “What do you want, then?”
Belinda’s eyes hardened, but she said nothing.

Lucas, on the other hand, took on a stormy expression, and Carmelita felt the weight of his gaze. She swallowed nervously and kept her head down, not daring to say anything else.
“Belinda, Lucas,” Nigel finally spoke. “How would you like to settle this matter?”
Unlike Mayer and Brielle, he wasn’t so optimistic about the situation. He knew that events caused by Carmelita could not be resolved with a simple apology.
Lucas gave a faint, humorless chuckle. “Our families have always maintained a good relationship. You and my father have even been close friends for many years. For your sake, I won’t do anything too extreme to your granddaughter.”
Hearing this, Mayer, Brielle, and Carmelita all breathed a sigh of relief. Since Lucas had already said so, surely Carmelita wouldn’t face serious harm.
Carmelita began to relax, to the point that she almost smirked. She was now convinced that no matter what she did to Belinda, Lucas would let it slide out of respect for her grandfather.
