Chapter 44
Although Hanson knew that Vania did it on purpose, he took advantage of her coquetry. “You’re right,” he
concurred.
Melanie clenched her teeth when she saw that. Vania was working with Hanson to intentionally
embarrass her.
Hence, she had no choice and could only bow at a ninety degree angle in response to Vania’s request.
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
“Oops!” Vania said with a surprised tone. “I apologize. I was focused on Hanson at the time, so I missed
it. I suppose you’ll have to do it again.”
Melanie gritted her teeth tightly and started all over again.
Just as Melanie thought it was over after she finished bowing, Vania supported her own head with her
palm and said, “I don’t think your apology is sincere and I don’t
accept it.”
What? Melanie frowned, expressing her impatience. “Then how would you like me to apologize?” she

Vania shrugged innocently and her expression was overly naïve. “Didn’t you say that you came to
apologize to me? Why are you asking me how to do it? You obviously did not come to sincerely
apologize, then. Forget it!” she remarked.
Forget it?
Melanie was stunned for a moment.
No, this can’t be happening. I have already promised Hanson!
With that in her mind, Melanie could only endure Vania’s willful attitude. At that point, she properly stood
in front of Vania and bowed deeply. “Vania, I was wrong. I genuinely apologize to you for my past
mistakes. I hope you can forgive me.”
At that moment, Vania muttered, “What did you say? Your voice is so low that I can’t hear a word,”
Melanie repeated what she just said, though she was annoyed by the request.
However, Vania still shook her head, indicating that she did not hear clearly.
So, Melanie could only repeat it and each time, her voice became louder than before. In the end, she
repeated them more than ten times, until her voice became hoarse. Only then did Vania nod and state, “I
can hear it clearly this time. And then?”
‘And then’ what?
Melanie’s patience was running out due to Vania’s torment.
She could tell that Vania was purposefully making things difficult for her.
Vania looked at a stunned Melanie and inquired, “Didn’t you say you want to sincerely apologize to me?
What’s your token of remorse?”
What token of remorse? I thought I had bowed to you!
What exactly does she want from me?
In the end, Melanie tried to seek help from Hanson by looking at him pleadingly, but his eyes were fixed
on Vania and he didn’t bother to look at her.
That didn’t work, so Melanie could only lower her head and scowl.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she grinned her teeth and slapped herself in front of Vania.
The slap was so hard that the sound echoed throughout the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh-that looks excruciatingly painful! She does have some guts, Vania mused to herself.
It seems like she is willing to do anything for Hanson.
However, Vania merely put on a confused look and pretentiously asked, “What are you doing?”
Melanie bowed her head and pleaded for mercy in a hushed tone. “Vania, it’s all my fault. Please accept
my apologies. I know it’s all because of my jealousy that caused these things and hurt you. I’m truly
sorry. This slap is to remind me that I shouldn’t be jealous of you from now on. For the sake of my
sincerity, please forgive me.”
Melanie purposely said it in a wholehearted tone. She had used all her strength for that slap, and it was
so painful that her head started to feel dizzy.
This way, Vania should be able to let me go. Hanson is here after all, and Vania must
consider his image.
However, it was wishful thinking for Melanie in using this way to get rid of Vania’s retaliation.
Vania didn’t seem to be moved by Melanie’s apology. Instead, she looked puzzled and asked, “What are
you doing? You make it look like I want to use violence against you. I just want you to show remorse but
instead, you slapped yourself. You’re trying to paint me as somebody who bullies people if I’m on the
right side. It seems that you are not genuine in seeking my forgiveness. I can’t see the slightest sincerity
from you, you know?”
