Chapter 2253: Chapter 2253: The Young Ones’ Love Is So Sweet (166)
Looking at Laura Jones again, it’s clear she has no intention of paying her any mind and feels utterly embarrassed, retreating a few steps in front of Laura Jones.
She feared Laura Jones might remember the things she said back then and make things difficult for her in the future.
Laura Jones isn’t one to hold grudges, and what’s between her and Emma Williams isn’t really a deep-seated hatred. Emma Williams has never taken advantage of her, not even verbally.
As for the issue with the crew, Emma Williams has already received due punishment. Laura really wouldn’t use her family’s connections to go after her.
However, she certainly wouldn’t befriend Emma Williams, that’s for sure.
As for this girl, with her opportunistic nature of siding with whoever is beneficial, Laura really looks down on her.
If she were stubborn, always backing Emma Williams against her, Laura might actually respect her a little more.
When Emma Williams arrived, she looked incredibly haggard; her entire face was gloomy, with dark circles around her eyes and slightly swollen eyelids, a stark contrast to the vibrant and charming school belle she once was.
She ignored everyone else and didn’t care about the mocking and schadenfreude in their eyes. She walked straight up to Laura Jones, rasped in a low voice, and said:
"Laura, I’m sorry. I apologize for the foolish things I did before. Please forgive me."
As she spoke, amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, she suddenly knelt down with a thump and burst into tears.
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief. Their image of Emma Williams was always one of an untouchable, self-assumed noble fairy, never willing to bow her head. Yet here she was, kneeling unhesitatingly before Laura Jones, asking for forgiveness.
Ah, the power of capital, truly makes one clueless.
Laura Jones frowned at Emma Williams’s actions.
"Emma, get up. What’s the point of kneeling like this?"
She didn’t like this feeling of being the center of attention. She reached out to help Emma Williams up, but Emma dodged her hand.
"Please forgive me, Laura. I really know I’ve done wrong. I won’t dare to provoke you again. Please, spare me this once, will you? I’m begging you."
On Uncle’s side, the company suddenly encountered big problems. They openly stated it was because his niece had offended someone, and Emma knew it must have been because of her.
Uncle and Aunt directly announced they wouldn’t care about her anymore; her future had nothing to do with them.
These past few days have been the darkest she has ever experienced.
All the film companies that previously offered her opportunities to enter the entertainment industry completely avoided her.
It’s only the entertainment industry, but even if she decided not to pursue it and aimed to be a high-level executive at a company, no company dared to take her.
Before, relying on her wealthy uncle who had influence in many companies, she always looked down at others. But now, without Uncle’s support, how is she any different from those who once eagerly tried to please her?
For the first time, Emma realized what it felt like when relationships turn cold. The feeling of being abandoned by the entire world left her heartbroken.
Now, the only way out seems to be gaining Laura Jones’s forgiveness.
"I’ll get up. Rest assured, there’s no deep hatred between us. You don’t have to worry about me doing anything to you."
Laura Jones said this, giving Emma Williams a semblance of assurance.
Yet Emma did not feel relieved; instead, she cried even more miserably.
