Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1155 Clay Would Not Apologize

Glenda hurriedly calmed him and sat him down. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Mr. McDaniel sneered, "You're going to fire employees who despise you? Are you going to fire all of them? I know how you are doing at the company. You don’t have any achievement. The employees say you're an idiot. Because we have some great employees and the help of the Flint Cooperation, I never blamed you. I've ignored the complaints people have made about you. I know you're an idiot. Now you want to fire my staff? Let me tell you something: If you want to fire employees who look down on you, you'll have to fire half the workforce. Who's going to work for the company? Can you do it alone?"

Clay muttered, "I'm not an idiot..."

"You are, but you won't admit it." Mr. McDaniel grunted, "I had given you instructions, but you ignored my instructions and did it your way. In the end, you screwed up. Don't you think you're an idiot?"

"I'm not an idiot! I didn't do anything wrong. It's Sydney's fault. I had a plan, but she didn't react according to my plan. That woman is so stubborn. If it had been another woman, considering our family is so close to the Flint family and you are Julien's mentor, she would have forgiven us and put in a good word for us to Julien without us apologizing to her. And she should do her best to get our acknowledgement, but she's a stupid woman,"Clay complained.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He believed Sydney should forgive them no matter what they did.

He didn't understand that Sydney didn't owe them anything and that she wouldn't curry favor with them.

In Clay's opinion, it was Sydney's fault that she didn’t forgive them or please them.

Sydney was to blame.

In fact, Mr. McDaniel also thought that Sydney should forgive them without their apology. But since he was older than Clay, he was more thoughtful.

Even if he had the same idea in mind, he wouldn't say it outright. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "She can be arrogant. She didn't know if Julien valued me or her more until they knew what Erin had done. She could have ingratiated herself with us before she knew that. But once Julien learned what Erin had done, he immediately sided with Sydney and cut us off. It's obvious that Julien values her more than me, so she doesn't care about us. She doesn't need to curry favor with our family. She can be arrogant and ignore us."

"I don't believe Julien really loves that woman. He must be afraid of her because of something. Maybe she had something on him, so Julien had to take her side and cut us off." Clay said through gritted teeth.

Erin, who was standing on the stairs listening surreptitiously, nodded and believed what Clay was saying was true.

'Dad is right. Julien doesn't love Sydney. He only ever loved Lyra. Even though Lyra is dead, he won't love Sydney. He can only love me!'

At that thought, Erin gripped the banister tighter. Her long nails were adorned with diamonds. As she gripped the banister, her nails made a harsh scratching noise.

The conversation continued downstairs.

"No matter for what reason Julien favors Sydney, it's not a good thing for us that Julien took that woman's side over us. Sydney didn't show us respect because she has Julien on her side. She is not afraid of us because she has Julien on her back. If we do anything to her, she can make Julien

hate us even more. By that time, we will be the one who loses in the game. We should never let Julien cut us off. Once Julien cuts us off, you should know what will happen to our family!"

Mr. McDaniel stared at Clay with fierce eyes.

Clay lowered his head in shame. "I know. It was my fault. I screwed things up. Should I apologize to her again? I'll ask for her forgiveness. She said she might forgive us if I show her my respect, bring gifts, and take Erin with me..."

Before Clay could finish his sentence, Erin got annoyed. She ran down the stairs and interrupted her father, "No, I'm not going to apologize to her. I'm definitely not apologizing to her."

"Erin, you're awake." Seeing Erin, the grandpa immediately put on a gentle smile. All the hostility on his face was gone.

Clay and his wife also smiled at their daughter.

Glenda took her hand and sat Erin between Clay and her. "Erin, did you sleep well?"

Erin ignored her mother. She bluntly removed her mother's hand from stroking her head. She clenched her fists, stared at her grandfather, and questioned, "Grandpa, I'm not apologizing to Sydney. I'm not apologizing to that woman. You know that I love Julien and that I must marry him to unite our two families. If I apologize to that woman, then she will feel I’m inferior to her. Even if I win her later and marry Julien, I will feel humiliated in front of her. And I'm your granddaughter. I’m a daughter of the McDaniel family, while she’s adopted by the Raines. I'm far more noble than she is. How can I apologize to her? She doesn't deserve me to apologize to her!"

"Yeah, Dad. If Erin apologizes to Sydney, it is a humiliation for both Erin and our family. Don't you think so?" Glenda looked anxiously at Mr. McDaniel.

Clay nodded. "I've never blamed my daughter. How can I make her apologize to Sydney? That's impossible!"

Mr. McDaniel rubbed his temples and said, "Calm down! Erin is my granddaughter. If she doesn't want to apologize to Sydney, I won't force her to do so. Erin has a point. Her mission is to unite the Flint family and our family. She has to marry Julien in the future. I won't make her apologize to Sydney. If Erin apologizes to her, it means Erin is giving in to that woman. Then that woman will have the upper hand. People will laugh at Erin and our family later even though Erin marries Julien."

"Grandpa, I don't have to apologize to her, do I?" Erin burst out laughing with excitement.

Mr. McDaniel nodded and replied, "No."

"But if Erin doesn't apologize, how can we get Sydney to plead with Julien for us?" Clay worried again.

His dad glanced at him and said, "I thought about it. I never intended for Erin to apologize to her, so I gave up on the idea of having Sydney put in a good word for us."

"Grandpa, have you got any other ideas?" Erin's eyes lit up.

Knowing that his granddaughter had guessed that he had a plan, the old man felt proud.

'My granddaughter is smart!'

"Yes. I'm going to throw you a party to tell everyone that you've returned home. I've already had the invitations sent this afternoon." The old man said, narrowing his eyes.
