When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese) novel Chapter 662

What made it even more unpleasant was that he had not bothered to understand what had actually happened before telling her to apologize.

Just moments ago, Anneliese had thought he was a handsome, older man who kept himself well-groomed. Now, she didn't think too highly of him.

She looked at Gianna. "Mr. Malone, don't you realize the coffee cup is in your daughter's hand? If we're talking about who made the first move, then Ms. Malone started it. Also, this dessert shop has security cameras."

As she spoke, Anneliese raised her hand and pointed toward the surveillance camera mounted overhead not far away.

Given its position, it should have captured everything that had just happened here.

Gianna never imagined that, faced with Adrian, Anneliese would still refuse to apologize and even boldly argue back.

She tugged at Adrian's sleeve again. "Forget it, Dad. I don't care about getting an insincere apology from her. Also, she's getting in our way of buying Mom those desserts…"

How could Adrian allow his daughter to be wronged like this right in front of him?

Just a moment ago, he thought Anneliese looked gentle and not particularly annoying. But seeing her speak so forcefully even toward him, an elder, he immediately felt that appearances could be deceiving. His impression of her worsened at once.

In a low voice, he said, "It seems I'll have to have a proper talk with the elders of the Fullbuster family about this matter."

If such a small issue escalated to the elders, it would make Anneliese seem immature either way, even if she wasn't at fault.

Adrian was trying to pressure Anneliese into apologizing.

She did not want to make things too ugly either. After all, the Malones and Fullbusters were on good terms.

Besides, Gianna had indeed suffered a loss after getting splashed with coffee. Saying a simple apology would cost her nothing more than a few words.

Anneliese looked at Gianna. Just as she took a deep breath and was about to apologize, a small figure suddenly darted out from behind her, charging straight at Adrian like a tiny cannonball.

It was Ellie. The little girl was quick and agile. Before Adrian could even react, his granddaughter rammed into him with her head, making him stumble back a step.

Gianna, who was standing beside him, was also caught off guard. Her high heel twisted, and she nearly fell.

"Ellie, what are you doing? How could you run into your grandpa like that?" Gianna exclaimed. "Dad, are you okay?"

Steadying herself against the table, Gianna shot a glare at Ellie before hurrying over to support Adrian.
