Chapter 256: Chapter 256

"Your status is way up there; let me handle these bothers."

"Mrs. Collins, just point out who’s rubbed you the wrong way, and I’ll take care of them."

Olga can’t believe what’s going on; she’s scared out of her wits.

These fickle people. What a bunch of lowlifes!

"So, the Abbott family schooling a small company is a cause for speculation, huh?"

"You should feel honored to be schooled by me. After all, not everyone is privileged enough to receive the Cooper family’s favor. If it wasn’t for Mrs. Collins, you small fry wouldn’t even be on my radar."

"Indeed, I don’t want to stoop down to your level."

"Today, for Mrs. Collins, we’ll make an exception and teach you a lesson. Not everyone can be messed with, you know."

"Disrespecting the Collins family is like disrespecting all of our prominent families."

"Exactly!"

Attlee was freaking out, hurriedly saying, "Ladies, you’ve got it all wrong. Mr. Collins, Mrs. Collins, Hunter, and Mr. McMillan, this must be a misunderstanding! Rose, can you please tell us what happened? If Yoli did something wrong, we, as parents, can take this opportunity to discipline her."

Seeing that he’s still not giving up, Rosemary briefly retold the event.

Everyone around was shocked, especially Kenneth, Louisa, and Romeo, who were even more furious than before.

The rich ladies started mocking...

"You called Ms. Rose a low-born wretch? Your mouth stinks worse than a sewer!"

"How dare you call Mrs. Collins low-born? I still don’t know which prestigious family you’re from. What’s your family’s rank in the country?"

"If the Collins family is considered poor, then what are you?"

"The most disgusting one is you!"

"Ms. Rose slapping you a few times was letting you off easy!"

"Apologize!"

"You said Mr. McMillan must be blind for choosing Ms. Rose? I think the real blind ones are you! A bunch of shameless people, daring to cause trouble at Mrs. Collins’ place?"

"Apologize to Ms. Rose, the Collins family, and Mr. McMillan!"

"Apologize!"

Everyone started attacking the Harris family.

Attlee and Olga never thought things would turn out like this!

Yolanda was starting to get scared, her body shaking involuntarily.

"I’m truly sorry; it’s my fault for not raising my daughter properly." Attlee could only keep apologizing to the people around.

Olga, too, thought today would go smoothly, but it turned into this. They were like homeless dogs, looking for shelter everywhere.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Collins, I really didn’t know Rosemary was your daughter." Attlee walked up to Kenneth, bowing in apology. He suddenly understood the Collins family’s dissatisfaction with the Harris family.

It was all because of Rosemary, yet he only found out about Rosemary’s true identity now.

Kenneth snorted coldly, turning his head away, not accepting his apology.

Attlee walked up to Louisa, apologizing, "I’m really sorry, Mrs. Collins. It’s my fault for not raising my daughter properly and allowing her to spout nonsense."

Rosemary gave Yolanda a cold look, let go of her hand, and walked toward Louisa.

"My dear daughter, does your hand hurt? Next time, let someone else handle such dirty work!" Louisa personally brought a wet towel to clean and massage Rosemary’s hand, treating Yolanda as if she were a germ.

Attlee, Olga, and Yolanda felt like they were slapped right across their faces.

Who would believe that Louisa had the guts to say that touching Yolanda was dirty and tiresome?

Was Yolanda’s face that dirty?

When the entire Collins family was ganging up on them and only Hunter hadn’t taken a side yet, Attlee, clinging onto the last bit of hope, tentatively called out, "Hunter..."

"Aren’t you going to do something?" Hunter looked at him coldly, shattering his last bit of hope. "You want someone else to do your dirty work?"

Everyone hoped that the Harris family could get their act together and teach their daughter some manners.

Finally, Attlee had no choice but to step forward, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes, and slapping Yolanda hard across the face.

Yolanda had already taken dozens of slaps from Rosemary; she was practically deaf in one ear. Her pained expression didn’t look like an act.

But a bunch of snooty ladies continued to smirk and sneer.

"That slap was so light, anyone would think you were tickling your daughter."

"You think one slap is gonna make everything alright? Dream on!"

"Insulting Mrs. Collins is an insult to all of us. If you can’t do the dirty work, we’ll do it for you!"

"If you don’t make this girl’s face swell today, don’t even think about leaving this place!"

Yolanda watched as her parents were bullied, and her tears started to flow uncontrollably. She cried out, "Stop tormenting my parents! It’s my fault; I’ll take the punishment. The next slap, I’ll do it myself!"

As she cried, she began to slap herself. She looked so pitiful, as if she were the most wronged person in the world.

But no one was moved by her performance, especially the high-class ladies who wore disgusted expressions.

"Yoli." Attlee was heartbroken to see her hit herself so hard; he couldn’t bear to look.

"Enough, stop hitting yourself." Olga watched as she hit herself again and again; her lips were bleeding, and her heart ached. "Yoli, stop hitting yourself! Mom’s begging you. Look at what you’ve done to your face!"

Yolanda slapped herself a dozen more times. She couldn’t hear from both ears now, and her vision was also starting to blur. She might have hit herself too hard—she suddenly collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

"Yoli, Yoli?" Olga immediately rushed over to hold her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Seeing the injuries on her daughter’s face, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

"Mr. Collins, Mrs. Collins, my daughter has passed out. Can we just drop this? We are deeply ashamed that we couldn’t teach our daughter better. We sincerely apologize to you, especially to Rose!"

Attlee bowed formally, making a ninety-degree bow to show his apology.

But Louisa saw through Yolanda’s tricks right away and said lazily, "I’ll count to three. If she hasn’t woken up by then, your family won’t be welcome in Summerfield."

"Mrs. Collins, my daughter has fainted. You can’t possibly—" Olga didn’t get to finish her sentence.

Louisa started counting nonchalantly, "One."

"Her face is already swollen badly, and her lips are bleeding. Mrs. Collins, can’t you find it in your heart to forgive her? As an elder, aren’t you worried that—"

"Two." Louisa continued to count without a care in the world. Why should she be afraid?

"Mrs. Collins, you—"

Just as Louisa was about to say "three," Yolanda suddenly opened her eyes and pretended to be panicked, asking, "Mom, why am I here? What happened?"

"Yoli, are you awake? Are you okay?" Olga wanted to touch her face but was afraid of hurting her, so she asked with concern, "You passed out just now. How do you feel? Does your face hurt?"

"I’m not in the mood to watch your little drama," Louisa said bluntly. "I won’t repeat myself. I want your whole family to apologize to my daughter!"

So it turned out that the apologies from Attlee and Olga weren’t enough. Louisa wanted all three of them to apologize to her daughter!

The high-society ladies around them were all urging them to apologize.
