Chapter 330:
The clock struck twelve, and Brenna had just finished her final presentation when a group of people approached from the sides of the stage. They arranged themselves in a straight line, facing the audience. Marco spoke first, leading the group in apologizing to Brenna in front of everyone.
“Miss Harper, I am sorry. I’m Marco Boyd, head of the sales department. In our group chat, I crossed a line with my comments about you, and it wasn’t right. I recognize my mistake and ask for your forgiveness. Something like this won’t happen again p>
In truth, Marco wasn’t entirely sincere. His apology was driven by the fact that he was unwilling to lose the high salary and generous year-end bonus he could get working at the Harper Group. He knew he wouldn’t earn this much elsewhere.
He had mortgages for a car and a house to pay, as well as a family to support, including his wife, children, and elderly parents. The thought of losing his job was unbearable.
He finished speaking and respectfully bowed to Brenna.
One by one, his colleagues followed suit, also apologizing to Brenna. Brenna, ever gracious and mindful of the public setting, chose not to hold a grudge.
With a calm tone, she said, “I forgive you all p>
Brenna didn’t want to say much to those who had hurt her. She quickly gathered her things and left.
Although many had come forward to apologize, Lochlan had not. He had refused to apologize to Brenna and had been taken away by the police.
Leaving the auditorium, Brenna stepped into the elevator and found herself face-to-face with Sabine. They were the only ones in the elevator.
Sabine’s expression was cold as she shot Brenna a sharp look, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Miss Harper, it must feel like a victory, having so many people apologize to you in front of a crowd. Congratulations on restoring your reputation publicly p>
Brenna immediately recognized the sarcasm in Sabine’s tone. She asked, “Does that bother you p>

Sabine let out a derisive laugh, clearly mocking Brenna. She replied, “Bothered? Hardly. In fact, I admire you, Miss Harper. Everyone who tried to undermine you failed miserably. We’re simply not in your league. By the way, I must ask, is Ernst p>
“Actually, your brother?” Brenna suddenly realized that Sabine had feelings for Ernst. Otherwise, why would she confront her over him?
“What does that have to do with you?” Brenna asked, an edge in her tone.
Sabine’s face flushed with anger as she locked eyes with Brenna. “Miss Harper, given that Ernst is your brother and leads the Harper Group, how could you so easily push him aside for your own benefit? You are so selfish! You should have endured a little grievance and not made Ernst leave the company. Do you realize the loss his departure means for the company? He’s an exceptional CEO, and you’ll never match his achievements, no matter how hard you try p>
With a quick movement, Brenna’s hand struck Sabine’s cheek, and her words followed sharply. “An exceptional CEO? I’m sorry, but your standards must be set pretty low. If he can’t tell the difference between truth and lies and is so easily influenced, it’s not fitting at all to call him ‘exceptional.’ I think he is as foolish as you p>
