Waylon regarded her with admiration. “I remember the Solace residence from before. Zachary is no longer in charge. We need to speak with Winnie about it. Because you are both women, it makes it easier to communicate. You must make time to speak with Mrs. Solace these days.”
Quincy couldn’t help but smile and say, “All right.”
When Margaret and Christopher get married in the future, she and Winnie will be family.
She couldn’t help but get excited when she remembered the last time she saw Winnie in the Solace residence
“Let’s see who still refuses to take me seriously from now on,” she mused.
Two days later, Margaret was released from the detention center, and Quincy went to pick her up in person. She lost a lot of weight after being locked up for half a month with subpar food and lodging, which distressed Quincy
“Why’d you lose so much weight?” Quincy drew her daughter in for a closer look.
Margaret pursed her lips and said, “A dozen or so people live in one room, and the food they serve daily is revolting. How could I possibly not lose weight?”
Quincy looked at her, sighed deeply, and touched her face once more. “It’s nice to be thinner. You were a little chubby before, but you’ve dropped a few pounds now! Zachary’s birthday party at the Solace residence is just a few days away, and we’ll show everyone how lovely my daughter is!”
Margaret was unaware that the Solace residence was planning a birthday party, so she inquired, “What kind of birthday party?”
Quincy smiled. “The first day of next month will be your future father-in-law’s 68th birthday. The Solace family has decided to hold a grand ceremony for Zachary. The invitations have been sent out, and both your father and I have also received the invitation!”
Quincy couldn’t help but feel proud when she thought about this.
Although the rest of the Ziegler family also received the invitation, it was all thanks to her daughter.
Margaret was perplexed. “Didn’t the Solace family always maintain a low profile? Why would Mr. Solace suddenly throw a birthday party?”
Quincy raised her eyebrows and smiled. “What do you think the reason could be? Of course, it’s because of you and Christopher! All right, let’s not put this off any longer. Let’s go home and freshen up. I’ve prepared all of your clothes. We’ll go to the Solace residence to meet your future in-laws this afternoon.”
Margaret’s face flushed, and her eyes were filled with excitement. “Okay!”
Quincy and Margaret dressed up and went to the Solace residence in the afternoon, but Zachary and Winnie were not there. According to Sofia, they had an afternoon tea date with their friends and went out after lunch.
Quincy didn’t give up. “Could you please call Mr. and Mrs. Solace for me and tell them that I’ve come to visit with my daughter? We can wait!”
Sofia felt conflicted but complied anyway.
Sofia left to make the phone call and returned with a smile to inform Quincy. “Mrs. Ziegler, Mr. and Mrs. Solace are meeting with some important friends today, and they can’t leave halfway. However, Mrs. Solace promised they would return as soon as possible. Do you want to wait a little longer?”
Quincy immediately smiled and said, “Of course. Marge and I have nothing to do in the afternoon. We can wait!”
“All right, I’ll prepare some refreshments for you two,” Sofia said.
Sofia then turned around and left the living room. She made a jug of coffee, prepared some more refreshments, and served it to them ten minutes later.
It was already dusk, and Zachary and his wife hadn’t returned.
They were left hanging in the living room for several hours, with Sofia stopping by every now and then to refill their coffee jug.
Sofia reappeared in the living room after dark. “My apologies, Mrs. and Ms. Zielger. Mr. and Mrs. Solace.
should have returned by now, but when I called, they said the guests had to take them to dinner together. They probably won’t be able to return for a while. Why don’t you come over on another day?”
Quincy couldn’t keep a smile on her face any longer and said with a gloomy face, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that they wouldn’t be able to return? We’ve been waiting for hours in vain!”
Sofia kept apologizing.
In the end, Margaret tugged on Quincy’s hand and gave her a look, signaling her to stop talking.
Quincy backed down for the sake of her daughter
Quincy slammed her bag into the back of the front seat when they got into the car. Her face was twisted with rage. “I think the Solace family is toying with us!”
Margaret grabbed Quincy’s hand and said, “Mom, that’s not true. Didn’t you say that Mr. Solace’s birthday party was held because of me? Mr. and Mrs. Solace are probably too busy to return! Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to make us wait. They would have demanded that we return immediately!”
Quincy considered her daughter’s words for a moment and concluded that what she said was reasonable. She suppressed her anger and looked at her. “You have matured a lot after being in there for half a month!” she exclaimed, relieved. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Margaret became enraged when the incident was mentioned, and she secretly sneered.
In the evening, Sofia called the Ziegler family again and apologized to Quincy on behalf of Zachary and Winnie.
Margaret arrived at Juxshire Primary School early the next morning with a fruit basket and other gifts. She claimed that she wanted to apologize to Yuliana.
The security guard at the school gate recognized her and refused her entry.
Scarlett, who was standing next to Margaret, said softly, “Marge came here today to apologize to Ms. Livingstone. Additionally, I also came to see my cousin, who is a student in Ms. Livingstone’s class. Don’t be concerned. I promise Marge will not cause any problems today!”
Margaret agreed and stated, “I apologize. What I did was wrong last time. I’ve reflected on my mistakes. I came here to apologize sincerely to Ms. Livingstone!”
The security guard didn’t dare to be careless because the headmaster had previously chastised him. He then looked up Yuliana’s phone number in the school directory. However, Yuliana did not answer his
call. Scarlett tried to persuade the security guard once more. Finally, he saw their sincerity and took them in personally. If anything went wrong, he could put a stop to it right away.
When the security guard brought them to the office, Yuliana had just returned from the bathroom when she noticed the three people standing at the door from a distance and stopped for a few seconds before walking
over.
The security guard explained the situation in advance, “Ms. Livingstone, this girl said she came here to apologize to you. You didn’t pick up the phone when I called, so I brought her in because I don’t think she has any malicious intent.”
Yuliana was well aware that the security guards were in a difficult situation as well. They couldn’t afford to offend any of the students at this school who came from a prestigious family background.
Yuliana nodded and looked at Scarlett, who smiled and nodded at her. Then, Yuliana only looked at Margaret.
Margaret handed Yuliana the items she had prepared and smiled as she said, “Yuliana, please accept my heartfelt apologies. I hope you’ll be able to forgive me!”
Yuliana didn’t accept her peace offerings. She looked at her indifferently and said, “You’ve already apologized You don’t have to make another trip here. As for these things, you can bring them back!”
She was about to walk into the office after she said that.
Margaret moved quickly and stood in front of her. “Aside from apologizing, I have something else to tell you!”
Yuliana frowned slightly and looked at her without answering.
Margaret continued, “On the first day of the next month, Mr. Solace’s birthday will be held at Rhodes Hotel. I wonder if Christopher will bring you to the party with him!”
A moment of doubt flashed across Yuliana’s face.
She had no idea Zachary was planning a birthday party. If she remembered correctly, his 68th birthday was not this year
Margaret couldn’t help but smile again when she saw Yuliana’s reaction “Did Christopher not tell you about 197
