Wedding My Ex's Uncle (Kaia and Alden) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Apologize

He choked on his words but didn’t get angry, chuckling, “Alright, alright. I’ll have Sally go in first to apologize to you.”

Sally and Kimberly huddled together, their eyes lighting up with hope when they saw him emerge so quickly from the room.

“Dad! You saw it, right?”

Tobias waved his hand dismissively. “Kimberly, stop being so dramatic. Sally, I just talked to her, and she’s come around. Remember how she wanted you to apologize publicly in the

media?

“Well, now she’s being reasonable. She just wants you to go in and say sorry, then we can put this whole thing behind us.”

“What?” Kimberly exploded. “Dad, she just kicked me and Mom out of there, and now you want Mom to go apologize to that little bitch?”

“Kimberly!” Tobias’ voice turned sharp and deliberate. “Is that how you talk about your sister? You really do need to learn some manners!”

“Sally, look at your daughter. Does she look like a Domont

family girl? People would think she’s some street punk! Anyway, I’m having the servants pack your luggage and clothes into the

car. After you apologize, I’ll drive you both to Riverside Manor!”

Sally bit down hard on her lip, her nails digging so deep into her palms they nearly drew blood.

Fine. What a little bitch!

She would make sure to pay back every humiliation she and Kimberly suffered today a hundredfold.

First, Kaia’s mother had stolen her rightful place while alive, and now, even in death, she’d left behind Kaia to continue the insult.

She’d rather die than let this one slide!

Sally’s eyes reddened slightly as she spoke in a gentle tone, “Tobias, since you insist, I’ll go in and apologize to her.”

Her fragile, helpless appearance made Tobias’ heart soften immediately.

He pulled her close, his arm around her shoulder. “I know you’re the one who’s been wronged here, Sally. I see everything you do for this family.”

Kaia sat on the couch, halfway through her coffee, when Sally

and Kimberly finally appeared.

Tobias tried to smooth things over with forced cheerfulness. “Kaia. Sally’s here now.”

Kaia set her coffee cup down on the table with deliberate force, her gaze instantly sharpening like a blade.

“Oh, you’re here,” she said casually, pulling out her phone and opening the camera. She aimed the lens directly at Sally’s face. “Go ahead then. Apologize. I’m listening.”

Kimberly stared at her, trembling with rage. “Dad, look at what she’s doing! Is she seriously going to record this?”

Kaia shrugged. “What else did you expect? Do you think some half-hearted apology is going to cut it? I need to document this so you don’t conveniently forget what happened today.”

She wanted them to remember that she wasn’t some pushover who’d stay silent no matter how they treated her. She wanted them to think twice before crossing her again. She’d played the good girl long enough-if they wanted to call her difficult now, so be it.

Sally tasted blood in her mouth where she’d bitten her lip too hard. She had underestimated Kaia entirely. Twenty years of seeming meek and compliant-all an act.

Tobias felt irritated and wanted to intervene, but the thought of Kaia potentially winning Alden back made him hesitate. As a businessman, he knew the recording wouldn’t hurt his wife-it would just bruise her pride.

“Sally, it’s fine. Just apologize to Kaia. You guys were in the wrong before, weren’t you?”

Sally let out a bitter laugh. This was her wonderful husband.

She swallowed her blazing fury and forced a cold smile.

“Fine, I apologize! It was my mistake before. I used the wrong approach with you, and I won’t interfere with your marriage anymore. Kaia, please forgive me this once, okay?”

okay?”

“Hold up, what approach? Why don’t you spell it out for me?”

Sally’s face went rigid. She took a deep breath and continued, “I shouldn’t have drugged your drink. That was wrong of me.

“I was trying to take a shortcut to set you up with my nephew. I know I messed up, and I’ll never do it again. Are you satisfied now, Kaia?”

Kaia put away her phone. “Good. Next time, bring your nephew along, too.”

With that, today’s drama finally came to a perfect close.

Kaia looked at the several servants who always gave her trouble. “You, you, and you-pack your things and get out. Sally, don’t say I’m heartless, but these people who listen to you the most can leave with you.”

“Sir?” The servants turned pale with shock.

What? We’re fired?!

They’d been working at the villa for over five years, and the longest-serving had been there for a decade.

Tobias thought Kaia was ruthless—she’d completely wiped out all of Sally’s people.

“Alright, you can all head back now. We don’t need this many staff anyway. Don’t worry about your severance pay-you’ll get every penny you’re owed. That’s final!”

Sally’s hatred for Kaia climbed to new heights.

When everything was settled, Kaia glanced at Tobias. “Dad, should I have your luggage sent over, too?”

Tobias stiffened, his face turning cold. “I’m not living at Riverside Manor. I’m staying right here!”

Tobias said, “Kaia, this is my house. Are you trying to kick me

out, too?”
