Although the members of the Campbell family were reluctant to apologize to a young girl like Erica, Matthew's presence there was enough to break their conceited and arrogant perception of themselves. Without further delay, they all complied and came over to humble themselves before Erica.

Lyman was the first one to come over. He smiled apologetically at Erica and said, "Mrs. Hilton, I failed to teach my daughter how to behave properly. I hope you can forgive us. Please spare our family. Tessie is at your disposal!"

Lyman made it clear that he wouldn't hesitate to throw Tessie to the lions to save the whole Campbell family.

Fanya, who had always carried herself with an air of arrogance, had no choice but to come over too with Camille.

“I'm sorry, Mrs. Hilton. I have not been a good mother. It's Tessie's fault. I apologize to you on behalf of the Campbell family!"

As a matter of fact, Fanya held the highest position in the Campbell family, proudly representing each member of the family.

When it was Tessie's turn, she stood up and apologized to Erica again, even though she had already done so many times

Phoebe slowly stood up from her seat and looked at Matthew's face. She knew that if she didn't apologize to Erica today, she would get into more trouble with him.

No matter how reluctant she was, Phoebe had no choice but to apologize to the wife of the man she loved.

“I'm really sorry, Erica. I didn't know that Tessie had done such a thing and I was wrong to misunderstand you. Please have merc:

When it was the Watts family's turn to apologize, Tam maintained a calm expression and said, "Mrs. Hilton, I am sorry for causing you so much trouble. After this is all over, I wish to leave Alorith with my wife, daughter and Ethan. I won't come back here again, except to visit my relatives on the festivals."

This was the best course of action for Tam, especially after what Erica had done, things would get very difficult for him in Alorith. Hardly any company worth working for would be willing to hire him. Moreover, he would have to live with the public bad-mouthing him and his family all the time. The better option was to start over new somewhere else in another city.

Yanny, who had been silent all this while, finally took a step forward.

Her face, which wasn't very beautiful in the past, Looked quite haggard today.

She looked at Erica blankly and said, "I'm sorry, Erica. You've been wronged because of Tam. Julianna is equally to blame, but I have always liked you. I hope you forgive Julianna, at least for old time's sake.

And I promise you, just as Tam had said, we will leave Alorith after this."

In truth, Erica and Julianna did have some happy days in the past. Even

Yanny would occasionally ask her daughter to bring Erica some delicious food before their friendship fell apart.

Erica's heart broke for Yanny because her husband was having an affair with their daughter's friend. But she chose to forgive him and left

Alorith with Tam.

It was Erica's turn to speak, and she had only one request.

"I just want to prove my innocence. I don't care about anything else. As for

Ethan..."

Erica didn't want to part with Ethan, let alone Wesley and Blair, who had been taking care of the baby for so long. She knew how hard it would be on her parents, so she said, "I need to ask my parents about that first. If they say no, you can't take Ethan away."

Tam had no choice but to nod his head.
