Chapter 115
Malcolm cleared his throat before speaking “Mrs. Vance said she’s willing to apologize for what happened before. Un, but Gum leave it at that today.”
Honestly, even saying that out loud made him feel embarrassed. And yet heanne had the nerve to act like her apology was some
Malcolm couldn’t help thinking. Seriously, Mrs. Vance, are you blind or just completely senile?
“Sharon is worth one billion Hunter Coins. And what do you have? Other than dragging the Vance family down to dead last all these years, wh have you done, Mrs. Vance?
Sharon has been coming at all of you at full force, never letting up for a second. Why would she came about a half baked apology now?
Everyone around them locked vaguely confused. Roxanne’s approach was so out of left field that no one knew what to make of it.
Even Susan let out a snort, wondering, “Wow, did this old bat grow up on fairy tales or something? After everything that has happened, she really thinks a simple “sorry” is going to cut it?!
Marvin chimed in, “Are you the queen of clueless or what, you old hag?”
Honestly, he had no idea how to even look at Roxanne anymore. The way she kept coming up with one wild move after another was just unbelievable. “Hmph, I’ve already lowered myself to apologize. Shouldn’t you all be gratefull” Roxanne still held her head high, but the arrogance from before had faded. In its place was a flicker of unease in her eyes,
Sharen stood expressionless, even a little bored. She thought, “Everyone in Vance Mansion is completely useless in a fight
“I could crush them with Hunter Coins alone. How are they even one of the Four Great Families? Pathetic!
At that moment, Karen burst out angrily, “Grandma, how could you apologize now? Why didn’t you do it earlier? Why wait until my mom is dead and my brother is badly hurt to say sorry? What gives you the right?”
Feeling guilty, Roxanne turned her head away. “And what better idea do you have? If your brother had actually stepped up, we wouldn’t be getting pushed around like this. Let’s be honest, yeah? This only happened because your brother is useless. He is a failure.”
Karen stared at her, stunned. She couldn’t believe Roxanne had just called Wayne a failure.
Gritting her teeth, Karen shot back, “You’ve always held all the power in the Vance family. My brother was nothing but a puppet. The reason things ended up like this is all on you. It has nothing to do with him!”
She thought, ‘All these years, we’ve kept our heads down and taken everything she threw at us. And now what She’s done using us, so she kicks us aside like trash? Who does she think she is?”
“How dare you speak to me like that? What happened to all the manners you were taught? Roxanne snapped, stung by the accusation
Karen sneered, “Manners? You want to talk about rules? You’ve never followed the Vance family’s rules yourself, so what right do you have to demand anything from anyone else?
“From the start, my brother was against how you went after Sharon, but you pushed ahead anyway. You destroyed our family. This is all your fault.”
Getting all worked up and shaking, Karen shouted, “You called Sharon a curse, but it’s you. You’re the real curse. First, you got uncle and aunt killed in that ‘accident, and then you ran this family into the ground.
“You got my mother killed and left my brother wounded. You’re the one bringing disaster, not Sharon!”
“Enough!” Roxanne snapped. She was fuming. That once meek, and obedient granddaughter had suddenly turned o head around it.
and she couldn’t wrap her

She wandered, ‘Why is everything my hull? Didn’t I do all at this for them”
Sharon capped her hands, grinning. “Not bad. That was quite the show.”
Karen warned, “Don’t let that did witch tool you, Sharon. She has been hoping yourd die all along. Now she wants to apologies?
“Only because she’s got no other choice and my brother’s too injured to take over as successor. The moment she sees a wa without hesitation.”
“Shut your damun mouthi Lean’t believe tever cared about you” Poranne snapper, her fingers trembling with rage.
Sharon sneered, “I don’t need you to sp
spell it out for me. It’s far too late for apologies now
The truth couldn’t have been clearer. Sharon didn’t want an apology–she wanted control of the entire Vance family. That was the price Roxanne had lo
pay.
Still, Roxanne refused to back down. “Hmph, Well, like it or not, the rules say that even if you become the head of the Vance family, you’re still obligat to support me. And you can’t mistreat me.”
Sharon replied casually, “Sure. That’s not a problem.”
Marvin jumped in. “Shari, don’t fall for it.” He couldn’t stand Roxanne. There was no way he’d lift a finger to take care of her
Wallace, on the other hand, stayed calm. “That won’t be hard. So long as Mrs. Vance here isn’t scared of the lot of os. Once the gates are shut, no one knows what kind of life you’re living in there, do they?”
With a smirk, he thought, ‘Getting rid of this venomous old hag in secret? That’d be the easiest thing in the world.
Even though they sounded perfectly polite, Roxanne broke out in a cold sweat. She thought, “They’re absolutely threatening me. What do I do now?”
