"Apologize? Did he do something shameful?"
"Look at Susan trembling like that—it must have been something horrifying."
Indeed, Susan was actually shaking, and putting on quite the convincing act too.
"That's unlikely, isn't it?" someone questioned.
But others responded, "A noble member of the Blood Clan wouldn't, but a Blood Clan member who believes in human religion? Well, that's another story. Hahaha."
In an instant, the gossiping around them intensified.
Susan hid behind Aunt Sarah, sneaking out her tongue to mock Jones in provocation.
Jones's face turned red as he forced a stiff smile, glaring daggers at Susan.
Aunt Sarah looked like she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. She hastily explained, "No, no, it's just a small misunderstanding! Really, it's nothing!"
Then she turned her head and said to Jones coldly, "All right, your apology is accepted. You can leave now! And in the future, stay far away from our Susan!"
