Chapter 253 The Knight family's apology
Kane looked at Juliana as he spoke. It was very rare for Kane to kneel down, so today it was definitely not for sensationalism or affection-instigating. He was sincerely begging for Juliana and others' forgiveness.
Juliana still looked cold and didn't say anything. The border between love and hate was blurred, and she couldn't tell whether she loved or hated him so much, but this man was really deep in her heart. Kayla and Robert looked at their daughter's conflicted appearance, and looked at each other helplessly. Kane was the biological father of the grandson. At this moment, they did not dislike the grandson because of what Kane did. On the contrary, they slightly praised Kane's attitude to dare confess. After all, the most difficult thing for a person to do was to repent and introspect. Whether it was true or not, people with discernment can naturally see it.
Sophie and the Knight family had the same opinion. She can also see that Kane had deep affection for Juliana, but it was inappropriate to persuade Juliana to forgive Kane in this situation. Arthur sighed secretly in his heart. Everyone in the room was hurt more or less because of Poppy. In fact, Kane was also one of the victims, but the only one who had the right to speak was Lucia. Lucia was willing to speak so the other problems could be solved one by one.
"Julia, I know that Kane is being forced to help. You don't have to hold a grudge against him." Just when everyone was expecting Lucia's words, she spoke.
Hearing this, Juliana opened her eyes and looked at Lucia. Others reacted similarly, especially Kane. He didn't expect Lucia to speak for him at this time. Only Arthur's eyes looked gentle and focused. He always knew that Lucia was always very kind.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not helping you," Lucia said lightly, seeing Kane looking at her with both surprise and gratitude,
"I just know the truth better than Julia. I know Kane because of Poppy. In college, I thought they were actually a couple. I don't know if Kane's feelings for Poppy are love, but it can be called a kind of perseverance. Poppy once proudly preached to me about her help to Kane. Indeed, without Poppy, Kane would not be able to get out of the village, and he would not be able to get to where he is today." After Lucia finished speaking, Kane said,
"I and Poppy are childhood friends. She was not like this before. When I graduated from high school, my parents couldn't support the college expenses for me. It was Poppy who begged her parents to borrow money for me to finish college. I thought it was her kindness to me, but step by step, I found that I was just a pawn in her hands."
"If I'm not wrong, you're not less threatened by her." Lucia knew Poppy very well, not to mention Kane, who was loyal to her. In this world, except for herself, she was afraid everyone else was a stepping stone for Poppy, even Jacob.
Kane lowered his head silently. He didn't want to push all the blame on Poppy, not because he had feelings for her, but he wanted to take the responsibility.
If Kane replied "Yes, she threatened me" at this time, it was afraid Juliana would have turned her head and left.
"I don't know what I should do. I am influenced by you, and you are bewitched by Poppy. Although we are all being used by others, in the whole incident, selfishness and selfish desires are also tempting us to make mistakes."
Juliana finally spoke up, revealing her contradictions and guilt,
"I don't know how I can make it up to you. I know I'm being cheeky for saying this, but I hope you can forgive me. Arthur, Lucia, I hope you can forgive me."
Juliana repeated the words, and the next second, she made a move that shocked everyone. She stood up and wanted to kneel down to Arthur and Lucia as soon as she finished speaking. If it wasn't for Kane, who was in front of her, and quickly supported her, she really would have knelt down for them.
"Julia, what are you doing!?" In Kane's mind, Juliana was absolutely right, and he couldn't watch her take all the blame.
Seeing this, Arthur quickly got up and went over to support Juliana, saying, "Julia, what are you doing? Now the truth is clear. You were also confused by Poppy. I won't blame you."
Arthur had sworn to Lucia that if Juliana did everything on purpose, he would definitely pursue it and never tolerate it, but if Juliana was fooled by Poppy and made a mistake, that was another story. Juliana didn't listen to what Kane and Arthur said. The person she was looking at was Lucia.
Arthur was her confidant and friend. She knew he would forgive her, but Lucia was different. They never had grudges, but Juliana caused her so much harm because of her subjective willfulness and selfishness. Juliana was really guilty. If Lucia didn't forgive her, she can't be redeemed in her life.
A mother knew her daughter best. Kayla understood what Juliana was thinking. Instead of consoling her daughter with Arthur and Kane, she and her husband had mutual affinity and stood up at the same time, facing Lucia's direction and saying,
"Miss Webb, we apologize to you for what my daughter did. Julia is our daughter, but we would never blindly defend her. If it wasn't for her, you and Arthur wouldn't have gotten to this point and hurt the kid. If there is anything we can make up for, you can say it, and we will do our best."
When Kayla said this, her eyes were watery, and she sincerely asked Lucia for forgiveness for her daughter's mistake.
Sophie looked at Lucia and didn't speak for them. To blindly persuade her to be generous regardless of the victim's position was not kindness but cruelty.
Arthur looked at Lucia, and couldn't say that he wanted her to forgive Juliana. All in all, he knew how much Lucia had suffered, and he would never try to persuade her to be kind and to forgive. She was hurt and should let Juliana repay for that!
The person with the most complicated mood right now was Lucia. The truth was clear. Arthur had never betrayed her and she already knew it. Juliana was used and she also understood, but she can't say that she was okay and would forgive Juliana.
Those days and nights of tears, those tortured heartaches, she had personally experienced them.
While everyone was waiting for Lucia's answer, a nanny suddenly appeared at the corner of the second floor. Although she knew it was inappropriate to disturb at this time, she said,
"Ms. Julia, the baby is hungry and is now crying for her mother."
Speaking of the baby, Juliana's eyes moved, and her face couldn't help showing the love for the child. It was this expression that made Lucia's heart soften.
"Go take care of the baby first," said Lucia.
