The Heiress Strikes Back


34 Kneeling for Forgiveness

At the thought of this, Danny instantly put on a smile and said respectfully to Sharon, “Sharon wanted to look at the wedding gown just now. It’s my honor to be able to serve you. As old classmates, we can be considered to be fated. Let me introduce a few styles to you.”

He tried his best to flatter Sharon, hoping that she would forget what he had just done. However, he didn’t expect the latter not to be a pushover.

Instead, Natsume heard Danny’s words and asked Sharon in surprise, “Danny, are you Sharon’s classmate?”

“That’s right!” Danny nodded his head vigorously. “Sharon and I were university classmates. She was the vice president back then, and we had a good relationship.”

“I didn’t misjudge you. You will definitely have a bright future.” Natsume patted Danny’s shoulder.

Everyone looked at him with envy. After all, in RC, only those who were personally acknowledged by Natsume would have a chance to increase their value. With this statement, Danny’s future in RC was limitless!

After receiving Natsume’s approval, Danny was so excited that he almost fainted.

At this moment, Sharon said, “Madam, do you know what my relationship with Danny is like?”

“Sharon, just call me Aunt Natsume.” Natsume looked at Sharon lovingly, as if she could satisfy all her requests.

Sharon continued, “I came to RC because I wanted to order a wedding dress, but I didn’t expect to meet this old classmate of mine. He humiliated my mother and me in every way, even asking me to strip naked and climb into his bed. He even asked me to get lost just because I rejected his pursuit when I was in university.”

Hearing this, the smile on Natsume’s face disappeared, and Danny’s heart turned cold.

Releasing Sharon’s hand, Natsume walked over menacingly. When she looked up again, her face was full of anger.

Right after, she gave Danny a tight slap and said angrily, “How dare you bully Sharon? Have you suddenly become so bold? Hand in your resignation letter now! You’re fired by RC because of a major mistake. Leave while I’m still speaking to you properly!”

Danny shook his head desperately. He felt uncomfortable all over and instantly kneeled down. I can’t lose this job; I have a family to raise. After all, working in RC is the only decent job I have.

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in New York any longer. Release a statement immediately: if any company dares to employ him in the future, they will be going against Natsume.”

“Madam! Madam, please-please spare me! I really didn’t know that Sharon was so close to you. I beg you, please have mercy… My family’s situation is really bad; they are all depending on me. Please, Madam!”

“You know you’re wrong now? Then, why did you spout nonsense before? Do you know what kind of person Lynn’s child is? Do you know how obedient Sharon is? Even if she’s just an ordinary person, she deserves to be treated with care. If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve contributed a lot to RC, you would’ve been banned by the entire industry.”

Danny’s face was full of disbelief. He rubbed his knees against the ground and crawled to Sharon, grabbing her top tightly. “Sharon! Sharon, help me! You rejected me back then, so you should help me now! I beg you-for the sake of us being old classmates, you must help me! I really can’t lose this job. Please forgive me!”

Sharon’s gaze was filled with disdain.

Even though Danny was crying bitterly, she didn’t waver at all. She even pushed Danny’s hand away. “We were once classmates? Then, why did you insult my mother just now?”

“It’s all my fault for being so stupid. Please forgive me.” Danny kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.

“Then, do you want to ask my mother if she chooses to forgive you?” Thereafter, Sharon turned around and ignored Danny.

“Alright, stop struggling. Leave now, or I’ll call security!” Natsume looked a little impatient, and Danny didn’t dare to say anything else. Instead, he collapsed on the ground with a dejected look.

“Sharon, let’s go to the office.” Natsume quickly pulled Sharon toward the office, not wanting to waste another minute.
