Sophia sneered, her eyebrows arching with arrogance. "Apologize to that little bastard? Jonathan, you're lucky enough to even sit here. If you eat quietly, nothing will happen. But if you want to cause trouble here, sorry, this is not your house. Oh, my bad! The Parker family was wiped out five years ago, and you're just a pathetic hobo, hahaha!"
Sophia giggled sarcastically, and the Harrison family members laughed along.
Sophia's words completely ignited Jonathan's fury. He took a step forward as an overwhelming anger and murderous intent radiated from him. It was intense and far-reaching. Everyone in the hall was stunned. Their faces turned pale, and they couldn't speak or breathe as if being choked.
As Jonathan walked forward, they shivered, picturing him stepping through their blood and corpses like the grim reaper.
"Ah!" Sophia screamed, trembling all over. As Jonathan approached her, she stammered, "W-What are you going to do? Olivia, control your husband. What's he going to do? Is he going to kill me?"
"Jonathan!" Olivia turned back and saw Jonathan's cold figure. She rushed forward and grabbed his arm. "You promised me. Please don't."
Jonathan felt the pull on his arm and turned to see Olivia's teary eyes.
Olivia and Ruby meant everything to him, and he couldn't go against Olivia's wishes. In an instant, the terrifying killing intent around him dissipated. He frowned and looked back at Sophia. "Apologize to Ruby."
Sophia avoided Jonathan's gaze and mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"Not to me. Apologize to my daughter." Jonathan's eyes widened as he shouted.
Sophia, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, yelled, "Jonathan, don't push your luck! This is the Harrison Villa, and no one has acknowledged you as Olivia's husband. What gives you the right to boss me around?"
Bang! Samuel slammed the table in anger and commanded, "Apologize to Ruby!"
Sophia trembled and looked pitifully at Samuel. "Grandpa, why are you helping this hobo and that little bastard? I'm your granddaughter." She had been scolded by Samuel twice today. Feeling aggrieved, she started to cry.
Declan and Maeve chimed in, "Dad, you can't make Sophia apologize to that little bastard."
"Yeah, Dad, Sophia is my daughter. It's too humiliating."
However, Samuel said with a stern face, "I said, apologize to Ruby now. Do you think you can bully your family at will just because I treat you well? It's your fault. If word gets out, people will think the Harrison family bullies a child."
Sophia stomped her foot and pouted. Declan and Maeve tried to persuade her, and finally, she reluctantly apologized to Ruby from a distance, "I'm sorry."
Ruby turned away and said, "I don't want your apology. You're a bad woman!"
Ruby was just a child, but children don’t lie. Sophia's countenance changed instantly, but she had to endure it.
Then, Samuel turned to Jonathan and Olivia and asked with a stern face, "Is this okay?" Jonathan nodded and pulled Olivia to sit down again.
At that moment, a handsome man in a navy suit walked in with a gift box in hand. It was Mark, the heir to the Newton Group.
"Mr. Samuel Harrison, everyone, I'm very sorry for being late. I got held up," Mark said with a smile as he took his seat.
"Mr. Newton, your presence is a great honor for the Harrison family," Samuel smiled.
The other Harrison family members chimed in with their own flattery.
"Haha, you must have met important guests," Declan said. He was very pleased with Mark, his future son-in-law.
Mark failed to catch Sophia's suggestive winks and grimaces as he spoke with pride, "Mr. Harrison, you're right. Something big happened in Yonderville today."
"Oh? What is it?" Declan asked curiously. The rest of the Harrison family also turned their attention to Mark.
