Chapter 146 Mirabelle Acknowledges Her Mistakes
“Me? Overbearing?”
Calista seemed to have figured out Mirabelle’s intentions. She had shown weakness in front of everyone, forcing her into a position where she had no choice but to forgive her. If she didn’t, she would face the condemnation of the crowd. Most people couldn’t withstand such pressure and would choose to forgive, right? It had to be said, Mirabelle had played her cards well.
It simply didn’t work on her.
With a slight curve of his lips, Calista glanced at the crowd. “Do you all also think I am being unreasonable and unforgiving?”
Although the crowd didn’t voice their thoughts, their glances were filled with dissatisfaction toward Calista!
Calista couldn’t help but laugh. She was beautiful, and her laughter was breathtaking. Some who were obsessed with looks found themselves quieting down, suddenly realizing that with such beauty, she could be forgiven for just about anything!
After laughing, Calista nodded resolutely and confirmed in a clear, calm voice. That’s right, I am indeed. unreasonable and unforgiving!”
Everyone was taken aback. Calista slightly lifted her chin and asked calmly, “I am in the right. If I let her. off, it’s my kindness. If I don’t, it’s my pleasure! Since she dared to harm me, why can’t I retaliate? Does an apology make it as if nothing had happened?”
It had to be said, Calista made a valid point. Many of the more rational students quietly agreed with her. After all, just because someone played the victim, did it mean they deserved sympathy when they were the ones who messed up in the first place?
Yet, in this world, there always existed some people who were blindly self–righteous, convinced of their own goodness. They had a penchant for doing foolish things, much like Mirabelle’s self–appointed knight in shining armor.
He
gave Calista a baffling look. “Aren’t girls supposed to be kind–hearted? Why are you being so spiteful? Mirabelle has already agreed to compensate you, you could have accepted that and moved on! Why push. things to the extreme? Why insist on sending her to jail? Don’t you understand the consequences of her going to jail?”
Calista sneered. “Imprisoning her is my prerogative. Why did I have such a right? Because she tried to kill. me with a stone. Though she didn’t succeed, her intentions were extremely malicious, hence she deserved. to be punished. If everyone were like you, not knowing how to stand up for their own rights, and everyone were like her, thinking an attempted murder could be resolved with just an apology, then what would be the point of having laws? To restrain the good and indulge the bad?”
Calista’s high intelligence naturally endowed her with quick wit. Even when she was in the wrong, she could still argue her way to a draw. So, imagine what she could do when she was in the right?
As everyone watched, the naive boy’s cheeks flushed crimson from Calista’s words. The crowd around. them seemed terrified by Mirabelle’s actions and began to sympathize more with Calista.
With gritted teeth, Mirabelle surprisingly pushed the boy aside and kowtow to Calista!
“Calliel
have no intention to evade blame! I was cr rinue that I acted immukively and mades migabe

Chapter 146 Mirabelle Acknowledges Her Mistakes
But a mistake is a mistake! I sincerely apologize to you. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll stay here forever!”
As she spoke, she also made a fierce move. She kowtow to Calista once more, and she didn’t stop. It was a sight that left one speechless!
“Callie! I’m sorry! If you forgive me, I’m willing to compensate you with ten million, and I promise to never show my face in front of you ever again!”
She kowtowed as she spoke. “I’m sorry! Please forgive me! I beg you!”
Kneeling was not an uncommon sight, everyone had seen it at some point. But kowtowing, that was intense. Most people couldn’t bear to do it. To go to such lengths, she must have truly been remorseful, right?
As Mirabelle continued to bow and apologize, many onlookers couldn’t help but sympathize with her.
If it were up to them, they would have forgiven her by now. After all, she seemed genuinely remorseful and Calista didn’t appear to have suffered much.
Seeing this, some of Mirabelle’s close friends were absolutely livid. They felt humiliated seeing Mirabelle embarrassing herself in public.
And so, they rushed out and grabbed Mirabelle, forbidding her from kowtowing any further!
“Mirabelle! Why do you insist on tormenting yourself like this! It’s better to be in jail than to suffer her humiliations! Besides, if the judge sees your sincere remorse, he’ll surely show you some leniency!”
They were all oblivious to the truth. If it hadn’t been for Kallum, Mirabelle wouldn’t have had to resort to such measures. She would have plenty of alternatives at her disposal. Even if imprisonment was inevitable, she could have arranged for a stand–in.
However, once Kallum got involved and wanted Mirabelle to be imprisoned, it was as good as done! Otherwise, Mirabelle would never humiliate herself like that.
“No… You don’t understand… I truly realize my mistake, let me do this, it’ll make me feel a bit better!” Mirabelle pushed the girls away, her expression full of genuine remorse!
“As long as Callie is willing to forgive me, anything goes!”
After she finished speaking, she truly let go of all her reservations and continued to kowtow.
But did she truly harbor such a strong sense of righteousness in her heart?
Mirabelle’s mouth was nearly bleeding from biting down so hard! With every kowtow, she was inwardly cursing like a madwoman!
Very good, Calista. How dare you push me to such limits? In the future, I plan on sending you off to the poorest country to live the life of a lowly courtesan. I’ll even make sure you’re addicted to a potent drug! You’ll spend the rest of your life groveling at my feet like a dog! I wish for your family’s downfall! I want you to spend your entire life toyed with by a bunch of filthy men! To endure a lifetime of humiliation and trampling!
With every bow she made, the resentment and curses within her deepened! By the end, a sickly smile surfaced on her face, and her forehead was bruised and bleeding.
