âOlivia! Wait!â
Mia came running, out of breath, her onceâpristine makeup smudged, her usual arrogance replaced by pure panic.
âOlivia, I was wrong! Please, Iâm begging you, spare my family! I wonât do it again!â Mia sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
âHmm?â Olivia paused midâstep.
Mia wiped her tears, her voice trembling as she pleaded, âEvery company working with my family has canceled their contracts within hours...â

The Davis Groupâs stock was plummeting, an unbroken streak of red.

âMy mother has already been sued by the Wilson familyâs lawyers... Olivia, this is all my fault. Iâm so sorry. I shouldnât have bullied you all this time...â Mia cried desperately.
âI accept your apology,â Olivia said calmly.
Miaâs eyes lit up with hope. âReally? Then... then could you ask the Wilson family to spare my familyâs company-â
Olivia cut her off with a look of incredulity, as if Mia were a complete idiot.
âIâve accepted your apology, but the punishment you deserve remains,â Olivia said, her tone cold.
âWhat... but... I already apologized,â Mia stammered, stunned.
Olivia sighed, glancing at Mia with impatience. Sometimes, she truly believed these spoiled brats had cement for brains.
âYouâre not apologizing because you genuinely feel remorse. Youâre apologizing because the Wilson family has put you in a position where you have no choice. If your family wasnât in trouble right now, would you have come to me at all?â
Mia opened her mouth, but no words came. Oliviaâs words were the truth.

Had she really been wrong?
In less than a day, the Davis family had been turned upside down.
Mia had watched helplessly as her father made endless calls, only to be shunned by friends who had once called him âbrother.â
The moment they learned he had offended the Wilson family, they avoided him like the plague.
Even Miaâs soâcalled friends had cut ties with her. Every single one of them blocked her on all platforms once they heard about the Davis familyâs downfall.
No one extended a helping hand. They were all eagerly waiting to watch her familyâs collapse.
It was no different from the way Mia had once mocked Olivia in her most vulnerable moments.
Shaking herself out of her daze, Mia chased after Olivia, crying out her repentance.
Even as Olivia kept walking, Mia trailed her, tearfully confessing her sins.
âI was reckless and ignorant, thinking I could use my familyâs power to bully others. I didnât realize what it felt like to be ignored and mistreated until now. Iâm truly sorry... I shouldnât have treated you or Isabella that way.â
Olivia suddenly stopped.
But it wasnât because of Miaâs heartfelt remorse.
