My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1101 The McDaniel Family's Apology

Clay had no idea what his daughter was thinking, but he was glad that she had listened to him. "That's right. Before doing anything, just discuss it with me and your grandfather. Remember that we will always be on your side, and more than anyone else, we want you to be with Julien, alright?"

"I see." Erin nodded. Then she bit her lip and asked, "But Dad, what should we do now? Julien is angry with us, and he wouldn't answer our calls. This is not a good sign. I don't want him to hate me. If that happens, I'll never win his heart, will I?"

Clay narrowed his eyes. "It's not good that Julien is angry with us, but don't worry. Your grandfather will take care of it. We made a mistake in this matter, and I believe that if we apologize and let your grandfather mediate, Julien will forgive us. After all, the relationship between him and your grandfather is extraordinary."

In short, Clay didn't believe that Julien would sever his relationship with his mentor.

That would make him an ungrateful person.

When Erin heard that, her anxious mind was relieved a lot.

She also believed that although Sydney held a special place in Julien's heart, her grandfather was also important to him.

She didn't think Julien would hold a grudge against her grandfather.

He was just upset temporarily.

Like father, like daughter. They shared the same thoughts.

"When will my grandpa go and talk to Julien?" Erin gathered her thoughts and asked.

Clay pressed his nose bridge and replied, "You know about your grandfather's health. Although he looks tough, his real condition is not that good. He sleeps for a few hours every afternoon, and I don't think he has woken up by now or known you were behind this matter. When he wakes up, I'll immediately tell him and ask him to go find Julien. As for you, you should change your flight, go to Port City before tomorrow morning, and apologize to Sydney. Maybe that would appease Julien's anger."

"What? You want me to apologize to Sydney?" Erin raised her voice and rasped, "Why should I? You know that she is my rival. How can I apologize to her? I don't want it!"

Clay could understand her resistance. He sighed and said, "I know how you feel, but we have no choice. They all knew it was your doing. Even if your grandfather goes to mediate, Julien will think our apology lacks sincerity. Even if he forgives us, he will hold a grudge against you. If that happens, it will be even harder for you to be with him. Besides, apologizing is not a big deal. You could keep it in mind and get back at her when you and Julien are together. What do you think?"

Erin was no longer so resistant, and her eyes lit up. "I see. I'll listen to you and swallow my pride for now, but I will definitely make her pay in the future."

"That's what I'm talking about." Clay smiled with relief.

The conversation between the father and daughter was truly senseless.

His daughter was trying to be a mistress, and instead of stopping her, he supported her and came up with ideas for her.

The members of the McDaniel family were truly cut from the same cloth. They were all devious.

After ending the call, Clay put down his phone and called his secretary into his office. "Have you been able to contact Julien?"

The secretary shook her head. "Not yet, and his assistant also refused to answer our calls. The other assistants and secretaries are just brushing us off, refusing to tell us Mr. Flint's whereabouts."

"It seems that Julien is quite serious this time, intending to show us his attitude." Clay sighed.

The secretary looked at him, saying, "What if Mr. Flint really plans to deal with our company because of Miss McDaniel's actions?"

She was a little worried.

Clay waved his hand dismissively. "He won't. For my father's sake alone, he will not do anything to us despite his displeasure. If anything were to happen, it would only be after my father's passing."

He was worried that if his father passed away, his family would lose the connection with Julien. Without Julien's support, his family might gradually fade away from the upper class.

That was why he hoped Erin could be with Julien. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

In that case, even after his father passed away, he didn't have to worry about losing Julien's protection.

For this aim, his father and he had been trying to find ways to matchmake Erin and Julien.

After coming back from abroad, his father had reached out to Julien, intending to persuade him to break up with Sydney.

Although it had failed, there would be other opportunities.

However, they never expected that Erin would be so impatient that she took matters into her own hands and offended Julien.

Now, instead of trying to matchmake Erin and Julien, they needed to figure out how to mend their relationship with Julien first.

Although Clay firmly believed that Julien wouldn't deal with them over such a trivial matter, Julien would certainly distance himself from them.

If that happened, it was no different from announcing to the outside world that the McDaniel family had lost Julien's support.

By then, those with ill intentions would surely come after them and take advantage of their vulnerability.

Therefore, the matter of reconciling with Julien couldn't be delayed.

At that, Clay squinted at his secretary. "Well, go and inform the PR department to issue an apology statement on behalf of the McDaniel Group, explaining to Sydney and Julien that Erin made a senseless mistake and that we will educate her properly to ensure that such things won't happen again. We hope that they will forgive us. Now that everyone has learned about the truth, we have to express our standpoint, apologizing to them and the citizens to stabilize the stock market. A mere statement of apology may not resolve the issue, but at least it will temporarily appease the netizens."

"Will do." The secretary nodded.

Clay waved his hand. "Go ahead."

"Yes, sir."

After the secretary left, Clay didn't stay in his office for long. He picked up his car keys and left the office, preparing to go back to the old house and see if his father had woken up.

He planned to discuss the matter with his father and figure out a solution.

No matter what, the relationship between the McDaniel family and Julien couldn't be severed.

When Sydney and Julien left the police station, it was already around five in the afternoon.

Instead of going to the office, they planned to head back to Shallow Bay.

Julien was driving, and Sydney browsed the news on her phone.

As she scrolled through the screen, a notification popped up as someone had mentioned her in a post.

It piqued her curiosity.

Her account had been reset to filter out ordinary mentions, or else her phone would be constantly buzzing.

Only a few verified accounts could mention her in posts.

She wondered who it was.
