Kallie’s tension eased slightly, and she responded with a casual wave of her hand. “That’s fine. Kids will be kids. They act out sometimes. I get it. Plus, Rola had apologized publicly to my daughter before.”

“That’s not quite what I meant,” Cody interjected, shaking his head earnestly. He then gestured to his bodyguard. “Please, bring Rola here.”

“Understood,” the bodyguard responded, departing promptly.

Moments later, Rola was reluctantly brought over. Freya was keeping Rola company.

Freya had come prepared, wearing a stunning gown.

At the sight of Cody, Freya’s and Rola’s usual arrogance was nowhere to be seen. They both lowered their heads, their demeanor meek.

Rola hesitated, and Cody’s expression grew stern instantly. His voice was devoid of warmth as he questioned, “What? Have you forgotten my words?” Quick to respond, Rola shook her head, her eyes on Cody not with admiration but with palpable dread.

Kneeling down, Freya offered a comforting pat on Rola’s back and tried to persuade her with feigned gentleness in front of Cody. “Rola, come now. You’ve messed up. The right thing to do is apologize and then set things right.”

Rola moved toward Kallie, her eyes brimming with tears. Kallie, for her part, had little affection for Rola. Still, she was careful not to put Rola in a tough spot. She decided she would accept the apology if it was heartfelt and not accompanied by any belittling gestures.

However, Rola’s next action took Kallie by surprise. She knelt down and bowed deeply to Kallie, striking her forehead against the floor so violently that it began to swell, tears mingling with her cries of pain.

“I’m sorry. Truly, I am sorry. The fault is mine,” Rola said between sobs, her voice trembling with emotion. “Please, can you forgive me?”

Rola’s abrupt movement startled Kallie, causing her to instinctively retreat several steps, her heart racing with shock.

Cody’s lips curled into a faint, ominous smile as he fixed a chilly gaze on Rola. “Clearly, she’s not ready to accept your apology. You must not be sincere enough,” he remarked, his tone cold.

Rola’s complexion turned deathly pale. She cast a desperate look at Kallie, her eyes pleading for help.

Understanding Rola’s silent plea, Kallie was about to defend her when Rola kowtowed heavily again, this time with such force that her forehead struck the floor, immediately drawing blood.

Kallie gasped at the harsh sound, her stomach turning at the sight. Without hesitation, she moved to assist Rola, pulling her gently from the floor.

“You’re forgiven, both by me and Sophie. Please, there’s no need for this,” Kallie said gently, her voice full of reassurance.

Rola stayed put, refusing to move until Cody finally said, “Since they’ve forgiven you, get up.”

With those words, Rola finally let Kallie assist her to her feet.

Rola appeared completely unaware of the injury on her head and had stopped her tears.

Cody made no move to summon medical help for her. Seeing his young daughter, barely ten and bleeding, he sneered, “Are you doing this for attention? Get out of my sight.”

Rola gave a nod, slipped from Kallie’s hold, and dashed away.

Such a parenting style left Kallie astounded. It was as if Rola wasn’t even his daughter.

Kallie found it hard to believe that any parent could show such cruelty to their own child.

When Cody noticed Kallie’s shock, he offered her a gentle smile and explained patiently, “I regret you had to witness that. My kids are a handful and have upset many. Despite my discipline, their missteps continue. Sometimes, harsh methods are necessary.”
