Chapter 631: Why Did You Apologize

Helen’s POV

In all honesty, I wanted to refuse, because apologizing to them was the last thing I wanted to do.I just
wanted to stay away from them Unable to restrain her anger.

Anya shot me a look of disappointment "Didn’t you hear what I just said, Helen? You have to
apologize!"

"Miss Pierce, I’m aware that my behavior has caused a negative impact on you and the law firm, but
I’m sure that I didn’t do anything wrong, nor do I feel guilty for that reason, I will not apologize to them!"

Anya broke into laughter due to anger.

"Oh, you didn’t do anything wrong, huh? Do you still think that you’re right to cause a fuss in Zhester
Technology in front of all those people? If you’re harboring a personal grudge, solve it privately.You are
absolutely wrong for making a scene as a lawyer of Hesmor Law Firm.Your behavior in Zhester
Technology was appalling!"

I knew what Anya meant.She didn’t want Zhester Technology to harbor prejudices against our law firm
because of me However, the mere thought of apologizing to George and Jane felt like throwing my
pride to the ground and trampling over it several times, shattering it into pieces "Helen, it’s easy to quit
and run away from your responsibility.But the only way you can truly mature is by being brave enough
to face your problems head on and solving them.Think about it carefully."

Having said that, Anya walked away.Phil let out a sigh and followed her out.

The only one left in the office was me.It was so quiet that the only thing I could hear was the sound of
my breathing.

Gradually.I was able to calm down and contemplate on Anya’s advice.



Was self-esteem really so important? Was it so important that I’d give up this hard-earned job? How
would be able to support myself without a job? How could I afford to pay for my mother’s treatment by
then? Most of all, I wanted to become an excellent lawyer and succeed in my career path.

To do that, I must be true to myself.

As long as I could face George and Jane bravely.

I believed that everything would be fine and I would no longer be afraid of anything from then on On the
other hand, if I chose to escape, it meant admitting defeat to those two and being irresponsible to
myself Alter making up my mind, I walked out of the office and told Anya.

"I’ll go to Zhester Technology with you and personally apologize to George and Jane"

I wasn’t really apologzing to them in truth, I was merely apologizing to Zhester Technology as a lawyer
Along the way to their office building.

I had explained the reason why I hit Jane to Anya However, I didn’t explain my relationship to that
woman in detail 1 Having heard my story.

Anya’s anger dissipated "Helen, you should strive hard for yourself The world we live in is cold and
cruel, and the more you grow up, the more it will torment you Only when you become strong enough
can you truly protect yourself and those you love"

"I understand thanks for the advice, Miss Pierce"

I shot her a grateful look To show the sincerity of our law form and mend our relationship with Zhester
Technology, Anya went to a place with many people, which was the conference room where George
was holding a meeting with a group of senior executives Before we came here, Anya had already set
an appointment with George’s assistant with his permission, we entered the meeting room As we



walked in, the whole room fell silent and they all turned to us Those who were about to leave stopped
in their tracks, staring at us in confusion I could see how livid Jane was Anya said apologetically.

"Mi Affleck, Miss Campbell.yesterday, Helen acted too impulsively she has realized her mistake, so
she’s here today to apologize to you.We’re willing to take responsibility for all the negative impact this
matter has caused I sincerely hope that you can forgive her As soon as she finished speaking she
winked at me Though I was mentally prepared to be here, when it was time to finally do it, my heart sill
ached . However, Anya humbled herself just to help me I couldn’t just run away and betray her faith
and expectations in me again I kept comforting myself with the thought that after overcoming this
hurdle, everything would be fine 1 lowered my head before George and Jane, and said, "I apologize for
what happened.My behavior was unbecoming of my job, and I hope you can forgive me"

My heart felt like it weighed a thousand pounds I could even feel the joints of my neck tracking The way
I lowered my head in shame and apologized crushed my very pride, filling me with grel and resentment
However, I was able to suppress the surging negative emotions Helen, why air you apvlogzing?
George roared He was visibly lense, and he had a stern lint on his face ! Everyone looked at him as he
strode out of the room, slamming the door shut The sound of the slamming door startled me and my
mind went blank for a moment.

When I finally came to my senses, I met Jane’s cold gaze.She was acting so calm as if she didn’t know
who I was When she passed by me, she said in a voice that only I could hear, "I must admit, I
underestimated you.You acted so vulnerable just to gain some sympathy.You’ve grown a lot since we
were little."

At this moment, I had an epiphany It wasn’t worth it losing my composure for someone as horrible as
Jane Once I was back to our temporary office inside Zhester Technology.I had completely adjusted my
state of mind For so many years, the mere mention of Jane’s name brought an indescribable pain in
my heart.



But just now, all those feelings disappeared into thin air It turned out that facing my problems head on
wasn’t as difficult as I believed For me, Jane was now no longer a hurdle that I could never overcome I
no longer had to escape.

I felt much more relaxed, and all the grief in my heart was gone.

That evening, I worked overtime as usual.

When I got off work, I was the only one left in the office.

Just as I walked out of Zhester Technology’s building, I saw George talking to someone over the
phone.It seemed as though he had just gotten off work, too.

Upon seeing me, he was stunned.I withdrew my gaze from him, deciding to ignore him and walk away.

However, George hung up the phone and walked towards me.

"Kendal called me to ask me out for dinner.Shall we go together?"

He was speaking as though nothing happened.

"No, thanks," I answered decisively.

Without even bothering to smile at him, I turned around and went to the subway station.

"Helen!"

George stopped me.I stopped in my tracks to look back at him.

"What is it?"

"Are we still friends?"he asked cautiously, gazing into my eyes.



"Yes, we are."I nodded and continued walking to the subway station.

"Friends?"I murmured to myself, chuckling sardonically.

Lucy and Cece were my only friends.I was merely being polite to other people.

In the world of adults, completely severing ties with someone wasn’t that easy.

But one thing was for sure.It was impossible for us to be as intimate as we were before
