Chapter 795 I Can Leave On My Own
Gwenn rolled her eyes and replied, “When did you become as conservative as them?”
“This isn’t about being conservative!”
Kareen pursed her lips and was about to continue when Lambert interrupted. “Ms. Miles, it seems you didn’t quite understand what the servant said earlier. Allow me to clarify it for you now. Pay close
attention.”
“I demand that you immediately dismiss this insolent woman who has shown disrespect towards my family. If you refuse to do so, we’ll simply take Lyra with us and leave. There will be no wedding!”
Kareen found herself in a difficult situation. Faced with the Quinnell family’s overbearing demeanor, she had no choice but to yield. “Gwenn, perhaps it’s best if you leave for now.” She turned towards Gwenn. “I’ll arrange for someone to…”
Before Kareen could finish, Lambert interrupted again. “Ms. Miles, there’s a difference between dismissing someone and merely sending them away.”
Kareen’s expression soured. After all, Gwenn was her friend. However, the Quinnell family didn’t appear to be joking.
Kareen bit her lip and whispered an apology to Gwenn before she summoned security. “Escort Ms. Tanner out.” As she spoke, she glanced at Gwenn’s revealing attire and kindly draped a coat over her.
But to Gwenn, it was nothing short of a blatant insult. She angrily tossed the coat to the ground, stomping on it with her high heels. “I can leave on my own!” However, she had barely taken a few steps when she stopped.
It was because she had noticed Damien standing at the entrance. His words echoed in her mind.
Damien had clearly noticed her gaze but remained silent. He held Cherise nonchalantly and observed Gwenn.
Gwenn stood frozen in her spot and hesitated, but the security guards Kareen had summoned were already approaching. Just as they were about to escort her out, she took a deep breath and finally relented. “Mrs. Quinnell, I apologize.”
“I shouldn’t have spoken in such a manner, nor should I have dressed so inappropriately for the wedding,” Gwenn uttered through gritted teeth, “Please don’t chase me away.”
Despite Gwenn’s seemingly sincere tone, Cherise detected the contempt in her expression. She knew Gwenn’s apology was a desperate attempt to save her job.
How ironic.
Gwenn had once manipulated public sentiment to force Cherise to admit her lack of professional integrity. But now, Gwenn groveled and apologized to the Quinnell family to avoid ending up like Cherise.
“I’m not the only one you owe an apology to. It’s Cherise.” Priscilla sneered. “I heard what Damien said loud and clear.”

“Cherise also had to give up her cherished position because of your actions back then, right?” Priscilla’s
and apologize, you should apologize to
expression remained icy. “If you’re willing to swallow your pr. Your
the person you truly wronged!”
Gwenn’s hands were clenched into tight fists at her sides. Since Damien was now her boss, she knew she had to endure this humiliation to continue working in this industry!
She had to admit that she had underestimated Damien in this battle. She had always assumed that
Damien wouldn’t or couldn’t retaliate for how she had made Cherise lose her job.
After all, so much time had passed, and he hadn’t made a move. But Gwenn never anticipated that Damien would covertly acquire her company and become her boss!
