"If I go down on my knees and apologize to him, how do you think people will look at me?"Mr. John's wife could hardly believe what she was hearing.Mr. John stood there, staring at her with a troubled expression, while Doctor Kai remained a short distance away, listening carefully. Mr. John's wife was still angry about everything that had happened, but the words coming from Mr. John were making the situation even more difficult."People will never look at me the same way again!" Mr. John continued, his voice rising. "Do you understand what that means? I am Mr. John, the heir to this prestigious family! I have a name, a position, and a reputation to protect. How can I possibly go down on my knees and apologize to a mere doctor? Never! I will never do such a thing!"He shook his head firmly."The shame would be too much. Imagine what people would say if they heard that I knelt down before someone like him. What would happen to my reputation? What would happen to the respect people have
Chapter 149
He had been standing near the entrance, trying to understand what had happened between his father and his wife. But hearing his father announce that he was disowning his own granddaughter made him completely forget about everything else.His father had just disowned her?Was that really what he had heard?Mr. John looked at his father, then at his wife.He knew how much Mr. Zachariah loved her. In fact, she had always been one of his father's favorites. Whenever there was a family gathering, she received special attention, and whenever she made a mistake, Mr. Zachariah was often the first person to defend her.There had been times when other family members complained about her behavior, but her grandfather would simply tell them to be patient with her.He had always believed she would grow out of her stubbornness.So how had things become this serious?What could Otis possibly have done, or what could his wife have done, to make his father reach such a decision?Mr. John's wife also s
Chapter 148
Mr. John's wife was still standing in the same position, staring at her grandfather with disbelief.She had already made it clear that she would never kneel before Otis, but Mr. Zachariah seemed unwilling to accept her answer. He was still on his knees, desperately trying to make her understand the seriousness of the situation. Unfortunately, she was more concerned about her pride than anything else.She looked at the people around her, then turned her attention back to her grandfather.“Grandfather, do you even understand what you are asking me to do?” she continued. “If I go down on my knees and apologize to him, how do you think people will look at me afterward? What do you think they will say about me? Do you think they will continue treating me the same way?”She pointed toward the security guards and servants standing around the room.“Look at all these people watching us. They are all witnessing what is happening here. If I kneel before him today, what will happen to my reputat
Chapter 147
This was the man she had considered her mentor.She had always believed that he was strong, fearless, and unwilling to allow anyone to look down on the Zachariah family. Whenever she watched him handle important matters, she admired the way he carried himself. She believed that no matter how difficult a situation became, her grandfather would never surrender his dignity.But what was she seeing now?He had not only gone down on his knees; he had also buried his head on the ground and begged Otis for forgiveness.And now he was asking her to follow his example.No.She could not accept that.Her grandfather was supposed to be the person she looked up to, not someone who would ask her to humiliate herself before a man she considered ordinary.She slowly shook her head.“Grandfather, what has happened to you?”Mr. Zachariah's expression tightened.“What did you just say?”“I said, what has happened to you?” she repeated. “I don't understand you anymore. I honestly don't understand what y
Chapter 146
Mr. John's wife was still not ready to accept what was happening.Even though her mouth was bleeding and her face was badly swollen from the slaps she had received, she continued speaking as though she had done nothing wrong. The sight of her grandfather kneeling before Otis was something she simply could not tolerate. In her eyes, it was a disgrace to the entire Zachariah family.She looked at Mr. Zachariah, then shifted her gaze toward Otis.“Grandfather, he's just a doctor!” she continued angrily. “Doctors are supposed to work for their money. That is their job! They treat people, and we pay them for their services. That is what he is, and that is all he should be. So why are you bowing your head before him? Why are you apologizing to him in front of everybody here?”She paused, breathing heavily as she tried to control the pain in her mouth.“Have you forgotten who we are? We are the Zachariah family! We are not supposed to lower ourselves before someone like him. And what makes t
Chapter 145
The disappointment on her face turned into disbelief, and then into anger.She looked at the elderly man kneeling before Otis and found herself struggling to recognize him.Was this really the grandfather she had grown up admiring?Was this the man she had always considered a mentor?For years, she had believed that her grandfather was someone who could never be intimidated by anybody. He had always carried himself with confidence, and whenever he spoke, people listened. She had watched him handle difficult situations without losing his dignity, and she had always believed that he was one of the strongest people in their family.But now, he was asking her to kneel.He was asking her to apologize to someone she considered an ordinary doctor.And he was doing all of this in front of the security guards and servants who were standing around them.She glanced at the people in the room.Some were looking at her, while others had their heads lowered. Nobody was speaking, but she could imagi
