“What do you want now?” The man’s voice was deep and looming.

Yelena composed herself, trying to look less pathetic.

“I… I’m here to apologize.” Each word was difficult for her. “Cordelia, I’m the one who hired people to post bad reviews online. I’m the one who spread rumors and caused your business to fall through.

“It’s me… It’s my fault.

“Cordelia, can you forgive me?”

Yelena did not speak loudly, but it was enough to attract attention.

A lot of people in the shop turned their eyes to her and whispered to each other. There were even people who whipped their phones up to record it.

“She’s the one who spoiled this cafe’s reputation!”

“That’s what I thought! I came when the cafe opened for business. The boss and his wife were great, and their coffee’s wonderful. How could they possibly fare as bad as what the Internet says!?”

“This woman is awful! Is she trying to create malicious competition?”

Cordelia gripped the tray tightly. This was the first time Yelena had ever apologized to her. However, ill-meaning people like her would not change her malice just because she said sorry.

Cordelia did not believe that the apology came genuinely from Yelena at all.

“Cordelia…” Yelena looked up at her. “I’m apologizing to you. Did you not hear it? Say something!”

Cordelia stayed silent, but the customers snickered from the side.
