The guests looked astonished.
Zuri spoke calmly and unhurriedly, "Today is my birthday, and it's also the day I officially meet all my relatives and friends. This day is extremely important and meaningful to me."
"But they schemed to ruin it. Even though they didn't succeed today, what if they had? How would I cope?"
"If a simple apology can erase everything, does that mean I can use the same tactic against others in the future?"
"There is a saying, 'If a child is not taught properly, it is the fault of the father.' They acted so recklessly and without regard. Are their parents not at fault?"
"I refuse to accept their apologies. If there are apologies to be made, let Mr. Yu, Mr. Ji, and Mr. Shu apologize on behalf of their daughters."
The crowd erupted in astonishment!
It's one thing for the younger generation to apologize, but for elders to apologize to a junior—that's not just losing face, it's the entire family's honor being trampled.
In aristocratic families, face and reputation are paramount.
Zuri's demand was nothing short of shocking.
Azura felt a surge of excitement, finding it incredibly satisfying—this was how life should be lived.
Peter Yu almost laughed in anger.
A little girl demanding his apology? She wasn't qualified.
Aaron was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped. He couldn't believe his daughter dared to make such a demand.
To him, the family's reputation was more important than their daughters' dignity.
"Zuri, let's move on. When we get home, Uncle Yu and the others will surely educate them properly. Nobody is perfect; everyone makes mistakes," Aaron said, smiling magnanimously.
Azura puffed her cheeks in anger.
Adults are so hypocritical!
Your daughter suffered injustice, and yet you pretend to be magnanimous.
Zuri sneered inwardly.
Letting them off? Impossible!
Just when everyone thought Zuri might compromise and let it go, a deep and rich voice echoed through the crowd.
"I think Miss Zuri is right. 'If a child is not taught properly, it is the fault of the father.' Small issues can be laughed off, but today's matter went too far."
Nobody expected Leo to step forward at this moment.
Before the crowd could process this, Carlos emerged from the throng, walked to the stage, and stood beside Zuri. His wise eyes swept over Aaron and the Ji family members.
"In this regard, I fully agree with Miss Lin."
He was here to support Zuri, so how could he let her fight alone?
The Feng and Ye families didn't think highly of the Ji, Yu, and Shu families, nor did they fear offending them.
Families wanting to align with the Ye and Feng families quickly stood up for justice.
"What they did was excessive. A simple apology is too lenient."
"Mr. Shu, you are from a scholarly family. Is this how you handle things?"
"All three of you have prestigious positions. How can you bully a young girl?"
Faced with the crowd's criticism, the expressions of the three families turned as dark as could be.
