Chapter 21
Chris didn't even give a glance at the now ashen-faced Henry.
He held Esther's hand and took her to Susan and John.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"You..."
Chris looked so domineering now.
Susan didn't even know what she should say.
Especially when she saw the soldiers behind them, Susan was actually very nervous.
"Sorry, Chris. It's my fault. I shouldn't be so mean to you..."
Even the Jefferson family was forced to lower their heads to Chris.
Susan had to give in.
Chris smiled.
"Mom, don't say that. We're family."
"Anyway, I'm your son-in-law, no matter what you said or did to me."
His words and smile relieved Susan. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, John still kept silent.
Chris had been a loser in his eyes all the time.
But now, that loser wore the uniform and could order so many soldiers.
Such a scene was beyond his imagination.
Chris didn't say anything to John.
He just went to the Collins family.
His eyes were so sharp.
Michael trembled in fear.
"Chris, I..."
"Thud!" Before he finished his words, he was suddenly on his knees.
"That's all our fault. Please spare the Collins family."
Michael was very regretful now.
If only he had treated Esther and her family even just slightly better...
Then, the situation would be completely different now.
Chris still looked calm, though Michael was kneeling in front of him.
Susan and Esther had mixed feelings when they saw their father and grandfather kneel on the ground.
Chris didn't say a word. Instead, he turned his gaze to Laurence.
"Thud!" It was so scary!
Laurence couldn't bear the pressure.
He knelt down immediately!
Chris looked around with his sharp eyes.
Alfred, Loretta, and others all knelt down.
The Collins family was trembling in fear before Chris.
They were like prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Chris still kept silent. He just stood there without saying a word.
The Collins now had all lowered their heads with cold sweat on their back, especially Alfred and
Loretta.
They had mocked Chris and Esther before.
Now Chris came back with such dominating power.
They were afraid that they would suffer a lot, just like the Jeffersons.
"Apologize to my dad, mom, and my wife."
After a long while, Chris finally spoke.
When he heard what Chris said, Michael looked at Susan and John.
"Susan … John … I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so unfair."
Tears streamed down Susan's cheek when she heard his father's apology.
She had been mistreated in the Collins family all these years.
Even her father kept a cold attitude toward her.
But now, he finally apologized.
John heaved a long sigh and had mixed feelings.
As the son-in-law of the Collins family, he had been looked down upon by everyone.
But he had got used to this because he had been at the same status in the Jefferson family long ago.
"Susan, John, I'm sorry."
"Sorry, Susan. It's my fault. Please forgive us."
"We won't dare to do that again. Please forget that!"
After Michael apologized, Laurence, Alfred, Loretta, and others all followed him.
Esther was surprised to see this.
Those people had mocked her and kept a cold attitude just yesterday.
But today, they knelt and lower their heads to beg for her mercy.
That was all because of Chris.
Thinking of this, she looked at Chris.
