Clark had been signaling to her his eyes all along, but Sophia hadn’t noticed. She believed Renea was up to some tricks, so her anger continued to mount.
“Uncle Clark, how can you just listen to her side of the story? You didn’t even invite the Morris family. How did she get in? Aren’t you suspicious?”
“Suspicious of what? She is Mr. Kingston’s plus-one. What should I be suspicious of?” Clark questioned angrily.
Then he contemplated, ‘Shane is sharp as track, yet he somehow gave birth to such an idiotic daughter.’
Sophia was stupefied. She wondered, ‘Mr. Kingston? Aron Kingston’s plus-one?’
‘How could Renea be his plus-one?’
Just when Elena and the others were about to speak up for Sophia, they wisely held their tongues.
Clark stepped forward and apologized repeatedly, “Mr. Kingston, I am truly sorry. My niece, Sophia, doesn’t know any better. Please don’t take offense.”
“Mr. Reed, you are being too kind. I should thank you instead for proving Renea’s worth,” Aron said with a hidden meaning.
Clark was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. “Mr. Kingston, you are being too polite.”
“However, Renea has been misunderstood and scolded. Shouldn’t there be an explanation?” Aron’s attitude had made it clear that he demanded an explanation about this matter for Renea’s sake.
Clark broke into a cold sweat in fear. He had barely gotten through one ordeal, and now this situation arose. He couldn’t afford to offend Aron.
“Miss Morris, I apologize to you on Sophia’s behalf. I hope that you won’t hold a grudge against her and lower yourself to her level.” Clark apologized to Renea in front of everyone, showing her great respect.
Renea accepted the apology and smiled faintly. “Mr. Reed, you are taking this too seriously. I have never bothered with ignorant people.”
“You!” Sophia was so angry that she was about to argue.
Clark’s deathly stare scared her so much that she swallowed her intended words.
Then, Clark cautiously shifted his gaze to Aron with fear.
After a long while, Aron spoke slowly, “Since Renea won’t pursue this matter, let’s consider it settled.”
Clark heaved a sigh of relief.
“Renea, let’s go.” Aron took Renea’s hand and led her out of the venue.
As Renea watched Aron holding her hand, she felt a surge of warmth he had given her during the lone battle.
Renea raised her eyebrows and didn’t say anything else.
