Diane's cheeks reddened with embarrassment, and she paused, searching for her words.

After a moment, she spoke hesitantly, "So, what do you propose we do? If you're not interested, then perhaps it's best to leave it at that. There's no need for any physical confrontation, is there?"

"It was you who spoke rudely and entered our home without permission. Plus, she's the one who started the physical confrontation just now. We were simply defending ourselves," Mia retorted.

Realizing the tide was turning against her, Pamela quickly cried out, "Noah, I'm having a terrible headache! Please, take me to the hospital!"

In response, Noah turned to Mia with a remorseful demeanor. "I apologize, Ms. Lane! Today has been filled with misunderstandings, and it seems we've all been affected by them. Please forgive us! Let's all agree to put today behind us, shall we?"

Mia's brow furrowed slightly. "Your apology should be directed toward Aunt Patricia, not me."

Following Mia's words, Noah promptly offered his apology to Patricia as well.
