The bystanders realized there was more to the story, and upon reflecting, thought she had a point. Why cry about this? The person involved wasn't making a scene, so what's there for the troublemaker to cry about?
Mabel Quinn noticed the change in the bystanders' gaze.
Her face flushed red, unsure of how to counter Mabel Quinn's words.
Mabel Quinn continued, "Besides, if you truly intended to apologize, why would you constantly threaten to kneel? If you were sincere, you would have knelt already, not just been all talk."
Alessia Quinn's face turned even redder. There was no way she would actually kneel to someone like Mabel Quinn, whom she looked down upon!
The surrounding colleagues picked up on this. Apparently, the apologies weren't sincere; it was just a ploy to force compliance.
"Could it be that you don't want to pay for the dress?" Lilith chimed in. "You stepped on someone's dress and promised compensation. Now, are you hoping a simple apology will settle everything?"
