I Don't Accept Your Apology

As Elena hadn't seen Viola for many years, he was overjoyed at first. But he was enraged by what Alisha had said.
"You insulted my mentor and me! How dare you!"
When outstanding fighters got angry, they put out a vibe that spread far and wide.
Alisha panicked.
"How dare you call her an orphan? Do you know she..."
"Elena!"
Viola interrupted her, glaring at Elena with a frown.
Elena was surprised. Although she was confused, she stopped there.
Viola turned to Jaylin again.
Jaylin was still immersed in shock, unable to utter a word.
Jaylin had planned to destroy Viola's reputation at the opening ceremony. But who could have expected that she not only won but also got all the attention?
Master and disciple? How could it be?
Who knew Viola was Elena's master? This was crazy.
Jaylin was so frustrated!
She was also ashamed as everyone was watching her. Jaylin wished she could escape as quickly as she could.
But Jaylin was too naïve.
Viola had always been a revengeful person. How could she let Jaylin off the hook?
"Miss Haworth, who should be ashamed now? You or me?"
Jaylin gritted her teeth in a fury, but she couldn't take it out on Viola because Elena's video call was still on and Russell was present. Viola got support from many big shots.
Jaylin could only force a smile. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have offended you."
"Is that all you have to say?"
Viola shook her head, chuckling. "You weren't sincere enough. I don't accept your apology."
She then turned to look at Russell.
Russell knew what was on her mind immediately. Warren left the venue and brought two hunky bodyguards in black suits back. They walked toward Jaylin with fierce looks.
Jaylin was so frightened that she turned pale and withdrew several steps, "What are you going to do?"
But the bodyguards just grabbed her wrist from the back, without saying anything.
Afraid that Viola might accidentally kill Jaylin and mess up the opening ceremony, Audrey tried to stop Viola. But Breenda grabbed her.
Breenda shook her head and whispered, "Viola knows where the boundaries are."
So, Audrey let Viola do what she wanted.
The vibe was bad. No one dared to stop Viola due to Russell's prestige.
Moreover, Viola's behavior was justified, as Jaylin had almost wronged her. Without the video call with Elena, Viola would have been convicted.
It made perfect sense that Viola wanted to get back. Jaylin deserved it.
As Viola slowly walked toward her, Jaylin was so frightened that she was shivering.
Jaylin pretended to be cool. She said with trembling lips, "I am the heir of the Haworth family! They will let you pay if you dare to hurt me!"
Viola's lips curved into an innocent smile.
"Alright, I'll wait."
In the next second, she stopped smiling and put on a fierce expression. Viola lifted her hand and slapped Jaylin across her face.
A crisp sound echoed in the room.
Some hissed, surprised by Viola's act.
What a cruel woman!
It hurt so much that Jaylin's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't say a word.
There were some red marks on Jaylin's fair cheek and blood on the corner of her mouth. She looked pitiful and embarrassed.
Jaylin was no longer that proud lady.
She bit her lips and sobbed in a grievance. But Viola held her chin and lifted her head.
Viola examined the red marks closely and said, "Now that you have a taste of your own medicine, you should know how it feels. How many times have you framed me? Have you ever thought about being retaliated?"
Jaylin was so ashamed. She wanted to fight back. But her face was so swollen that she couldn't say anything.
In the end, Whitney and Alisha rushed onto the stage and rescued Jaylin from the hands of the bodyguards.
Too embarrassed to stay, they carried Jaylin and left dejectedly.
They didn't trash talk before they left. But Viola could feel their malicious gazes.
Viola didn't care about being glared at this way.
Only the weak would use such a method to scare off others.
The atmosphere didn't get any better after their departure.
The guests had only been shocked when they found out that Viola was Elena's master. But now, their surprise was replaced by fear when they saw Viola humiliating Jaylin in public.
The vibe only got a bit livelier after Elena expressed his blessings to the opening ceremony remotely.
Despite the unpleasant episode, the opening ceremony was a success thanks to the video call and blessings from Elena.
Audrey and Joans were all smiles, thinking highly of Viola.
They enjoyed chatting with the guests. The latter half of the activity went pretty.
Since Viola didn't like social activities, she found an excuse and went to a quiet aisle.
Having confirmed that no one was around, Viola took out her phone and made a call.
The call got through, Viola heard a deep voice from an old man, who sounded overjoyed.
"I haven't heard anything from you after your departure. When the McGraw family said you were dead, I just couldn't sleep for so many nights. It's so good to know you are fine."
"I remember someone told me vicious people have a longer life. How can a vicious woman like me die so young?"
Elena chuckled at her joke.
"Thanks." Viola put on a serious expression.
"You don't have to. You are my master, in some way."
When Viola was younger, she was the disciple of a great master, who lived far away. Elena was also that master's student and was originally senior to Viola.
But Viola was talented and quick at learning. She could come up with new tricks based on what she had learned. After Elena lost in a match, Elena begged Viola to teach her the new move. Therefore, Viola was indeed a temporary master of Elena.
Knowing that someone was making things hard for Viola, Elena reacted very quickly and helped Viola out.
The episode reminded them of their past.
Viola was just about to ask how other disciples were doing when she heard the sound of a wheelchair.
So, Viola hung up, turned around, and saw Breenda, who was approaching her in a wheelchair.
Breenda stared at Viola's beautiful face and said with a grin, "The moment I saw you, I knew that you were special. You didn't seem to be an orphan because you were so calm and so elegant."
Viola pursed her lips and looked at Breenda in silence.
Breenda continued, "I got along with Bentley. He is very quiet and aloof. The only time he talked with me was when he spoke about you. I assume you must be very important to him."
"What do you mean?" Viola frowned.
"Two gentlemen of the McGraw family admire you and would like to do anything for you."
Breenda paused for a moment and then said with suspicion, "Who on earth are you?"
