She cursed at Romina, “Romina, you’re really despicable!”Â
“You’ve admitted to conspiring with Nadine to frame me, and it’s all recorded here. If you don’t choose to apologize, I’ll have to give this recording to the police, then pull the surveillance footage from earlier, and have both incidents handled together…”Â
As her words fell, the unease on Valery’s face grew even stronger.Â
She was so angry that her whole chest was heaving.Â
She never expected to fall into Romina’s hands like this, yet there was nothing she could do about it!Â
Her current predicament made her mental state collapse in an instant…Â
She was truly caught between a rock and a hard place!Â
She even regretted coming here today.Â
“Hurry up and decide! I’m only giving you ten minutes. If you haven’t made a choice in ten minutes, I’ll have to call the police.”Â
Romina’s tone was icy cold. After her words reached Valery’s ears, Valery was so angry she was grinding her teeth.Â
Time ticked by, second by second.Â
Romina still sat in front of her, watching Valery’s anxious expression, the corners of her lips involuntarily curling up.Â
Miguel had been standing to the side, but fearing Valery might try to escape, he quickly walked to the door and blocked the way.Â
Valery had no way out at all.Â
After eight minutes of stalemate, she finally made a decision: “I’ll apologize!”Â
“Ms. Murray, since you’re going to apologize, then do it properly. When you go out and stand at the door to apologize, if you act like this, neither my wellness clinic nor the patientsÂ

will see your sincerity. How can you expect them to forgive you?”Â
“It’s just a lousy wellness clinic, why talk about sincerity?”Â
“The wellness clinic may not understand sincerity, but the patients do!” Romina stood walked toward her. “Don’t you agree?”Â
“Hurry up! Don’t waste my time!”Â
Valery, fuming, was about to walk toward the door.Â
“Wait, we haven’t even started recording yet! Why are you running off?”Â
Romina’s voice sounded from behind. Valery stopped in her tracks. “Record what?”Â
When she turned around, Romina was already heading toward the cashier’s counter.Â

She pulled out a medium–sized megaphone from underneath, walked back behind Valery, and said, “This megaphone can record. After you apologize, you’ll stand at the door with it for half an hour, so my patients can see your sincerity. Then, this matter will be settled once and for all.”Â
As soon as she finished speaking, a look of shock appeared on Valery’s face.Â
“Pfft-”Â
Miguel’s laughter came from behind.Â
Valery glared back at him. “What are you laughing at?”Â
“Sorry, it’s just too embarrassing…” Miguel chuckled lightly. “I really couldn’t hold it in.Â
After hearing him, Romina couldn’t help but curl her lips as well. “It is a bit embarrassing, but this is the best way I could think of for an apology.”Â
Valery’s face turned as dark as could be, and she suddenly fell silent.Â
Miguel stepped forward, curiously asking, “What is it? Ms. Murray, are you unwilling?”Â
Valery turned around angrily and glared at Miguel.Â
Romina immediately put down the megaphone in her hand and said, “If you’re not willing, then I’ll have no choice but to call the police. After all, this incident has caused such a big scene and seriously affected my wellness clinic. I deserve an explanation, don’t you think?”Â

“Who said I’m not willing? Did I ever say I wasn’t willing?”Â
Valery was fuming with anger.Â
“In that case…” Romina nodded thoughtfully. “Miguel, help him record the audio. I’m going to change my clothes.”Â
“Alright.”Â
Miguel took the megaphone without hesitation and watched Romina leave.Â
After Romina entered the lounge, she heard Miguel’s voice from outside: “Can we start now?”Â
“Hurry up! Stop dawdling, don’t waste my time…”Â
After Valery shouted into the megaphone, Miguel kept reminding her from the side: “Too quiet, can you speak louder? With sound like that, it just sounds like a little bird chirping. Who can even hear what you’re saying?”Â
Valery said, “Can you shut up! Stop interfering with my recording!”Â
Miguel replied, “Then speak up! Can you get it done in one go? Don’t waste our time doingÂ
business…”Â
“Damn it! If you keep talking, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”Â
“Sorry, my mouth is pretty tough. If you want to tear it apart, you’ll have to put in some effort.”Â
Listening to their bickering outside, Romina suddenly found it inexplicably funnyÂ
The reason she retaliated so harshly this time was because she was afraid Valery would come back to the wellness clinic and cause trouble again in the future.Â
If she didn’t give her a hard lesson, Valery probably wouldn’t learn her lesson.Â
After all, Romina had always understood the saying, ‘A kind person is easily bullied, and a tame horse is easily ridden.‘Â
