It's giving runaway wives and we're here for it!

Chapter 5 "Dad, what are you doing?" Everyone present was shocked beyond belief. I sat in my chair without saying a word. "Dad, get up!" Lucas Mitchell knelt on the ground - the business tycoon who usually commanded respect was now utterly humble. "Dad!" Ethan kept calling him persistently. "You ungrateful son, get down on your knees right now!" "Apologize to her properly!" Ethan panicked: "Why? Dad, what did I do wrong?" "Could she really be Sayaka Thompson?" The guests gradually caught on.

"If she really is Sayaka Thompson, then everything that just happened..." The sentence went unfinished, but everyone knew the consequences. Ethan's face went ashen as he trembled and knelt before me. "Miss Thompson, Ethan was wrong today. I'm apologizing on his behalf." Lucas Mitchell kept his head down, and I could see his full head of white hair. Nearly fifty years old, still cleaning up his stupid son's messes. I remained silent. "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Thompson." "Dad, is she really Sayaka Thompson? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Even now, Ethan still couldn't believe it.

"Dad, look again - how could she possibly be Sayaka Thompson?" Lucas slapped him with his backhand. "I'm not wrong! She's the real Miss Thompson!" 12.4% "Unlike certain people." Then he glanced at Asuka standing nearby. "Who are complete fakes!" Ethan was knocked down by his father's slap, his forehead hitting the table corner. Now he had to face reality. He scrambled up pathetically and apologized to me. "I'm sorry, Miss Thompson. I was blind and failed to recognize you. I apologize - can you please spare the Mitchell family?" Spare them? I laughed coldly.

When Reika was begging them for mercy just now, did he spare us? Now they regret it when death is at their door. Reika had been bullied so badly - I would definitely make them pay! Felix put on a flattering face. "Sayaka, it really is you! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" He fake-cried. "It's all my fault. If I'd recognized you earlier, you wouldn't have been bullied." "Go get those wounds bandaged. Look at your injuries - it breaks my heart to see them." Felix tried to take my hand, but I pushed him away. "No need." He stood there, not knowing what to do.

"Sayaka, our arranged marriage..." "It's canceled." Perfect - I didn't want to marry him anyway. This was the perfect opportunity to cancel it. Felix's expression immediately changed. "Why? Sayaka, I was wrong just now. Please give me another chance?" "I promise I won't let you get hurt again." He grabbed me, crying dramatically. Talking about how regretful he was, how sad he felt. Someone at the scene tried to mediate. "They already know they were wrong. There's no need to be so unforgiving." "Not enough! I replied. Everyone present didn't dare make a sound. What good was their regret?

Could they erase everything with a flippant apology? Reika had been harmed so badly, suffered so much bullying could that be covered up with just words? From the brief glimpse I'd gotten, her injuries were horrifying. I didn't dare imagine how difficult this past month had been for her. The hatred consumed me not just for them, but for myself even more Why hadn't I discovered it sooner? If I had, maybe everything could have been prevented. Enough of this, I wanted to leave with Reika and be done with "Will you spare the Mitchell family?" Lucas spoke quietly.

He knew what his son had done today. So he got the expected answer. "Mr. Mitchell Senior, I'm sorry, but I can't do that." Ethan wouldn't give up and got up to grab Reika. ייון of them. He wanted to use Reika to make amends. "Reika, don't go." Seeing this scene, Asuka was furious. "She's not Sayaka Thompson at all! You're all crazy!"
