Chapter 17-for money

Mechelle's POV

Max harbored resentment, but I could only bow three times in apology, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, it won't happen again in the future."

"Alright, since you seem sincere, I'll forgive you," Melody said casually, finally showing a smile on her face as she glanced at me.

Harrison's heart also eased, finally feeling relieved. He quickly called for us to dine, having the most expensive dishes at the Dynasty Hotel brought to our table.

After leaving the hotel, things didn't sit right with me. Our family's reactions were too unexpected, especially Max's. No one dared to provoke him at school, even the headmaster greeted him with a smile, all because his wealthy father donated a large sum to the school every year. But... I couldn't fathom how someone could make us so fearful.
