Corinne never expected that after all this time, Jeremy could still hurt her.
"No! I'm not going to apologize to her!"
Apologizing was akin to admitting to wrongdoing.
The waiters did not dare to intervene, so they went to get the manager. After all, it was a bad look for the restaurant if a fight broke out at the entrance.
The manager's hurried arrival attracted the attention of other diners. They, too, came along with him to see what was going on.
Pamela asked Francine to help her over to the entrance when she heard someone say Jeremy and a woman were fighting with another woman. She broke through the crowd and saw Jeremy grabbing Corinne by the collar and forcing her to apologize to Sophia, whose head was bleeding.
However, no matter how much he threatened her, Corinne stubbornly refused to apologize. Sophia, on the other hand, kept telling Jeremy she was fine and to let it go.
The livid Pamela rushed over and pushed Jeremy away. "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that Corinne is pregnant?! Have you lost your mind? How can you treat her like this?"
Corinne looked at Pamela with wide eyes. She was not in a good mood, so she simply said, "I guess so."
"Since you did push her, Jeremy's right to ask you to apologize to Sophia," said Pamela begrudgingly. "Now, won't you be a good girl and say sorry?"
This stunned Corinne, but it was not long until a chuckle escaped her. 'I shouldn't be surprised. The Holdens are all the same.' She thought Pamela would take her side, but she was obviously wrong about that. 'Of course she'd take her real granddaughter-in-law's side. I'm nothing but a birthing machine to them. They want me to apologize, huh? Fine, I'll apologize!'
