She asked, "What I'm asking is, what does your apology mean?"

Vincent froze, glanced at his watch, and said, "You've worked so late; let's eat first! As long as you forgive me, I'll do whatever it takes, as long as it's within my power."

Ariana curled her lips, suppressing a sense of disgust within her, "Okay."

Seeing her agreement, Vincent looked pleased and hurriedly opened the passenger door of his car.

On a red Ferrari not far away, Lambert saw that Ariana had actually gotten into Vincent's car, his slender eyes narrowing dangerously.

Lambert had originally come to see Ariana upon hearing that she hadn't returned home, but he didn't expect to see Vincent coming for her, and Ariana even got in his car.

With nervous anticipation, Vincent brought Ariana to the most expensive rooftop garden restaurant and thoughtfully ordered a violin and roses set menu to signify his apology.

Ariana comfortably sat down, arching an eyebrow at the pre-arranged candlelit dinner. The violinist beside them began to play, the melody was tender and lingering.

He also sat down, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Ari... how have you been recently?"

Upon hearing this, she smiled lightly and nodded, "Hmm, not bad! I've had plenty to eat and drink; nothing is lacking."

Vincent's face turned ugly, he paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry for hurting you."

Ariana didn't respond; she picked up her cutlery and enjoyed her meal.

It must be said, that although she doesn't love Western food, the steak in this place was quite good.

Seeing that she didn't respond or show any emotions, Vincent thought Ariana had taken his words to heart and began to express his remorse.

"Actually, during this time, I often think about the past, how I was foolish enough to be bewitched by Jane. Clearly you... you're so great... but I failed to cherish that."

Vincent's voice suddenly and unexpectedly choked up as he was speaking.

"The company matters weigh heavily on me, like a giant rock relentlessly pressing on my back, making it hard to breathe. But the burden of letting you down weighs even heavier on my heart. After finishing the company's affairs today, I couldn't help but come to see you but didn't expect to be able to meet you. "

Hearing him blaming his shortcomings on Jane's seduction, Ariana's hand, holding the cutlery, paused slightly. She couldn't help but snicker quietly to herself.

At this moment, she truly felt pity for Jane. She heard that Jane had been ranting madly at Vincent in the hospital, saying she had given her heart and soul to him, only to end up with this outcome.

Jane had made the same mistake as Ariana made in her past life, entrusting her whole life to Vincent, only to end up with a pitiful fate.

However, Jane's and Vincent's endings were far better than hers in her past life. Jane simply lost the opportunity to climb up the social ladder, Vincent had his ambitions crushed, while she and her parents were utterly destroyed by the two people they trusted the most.

Even in death, they were left with a disgraced reputation and met with scorn and ridicule.

"Vincent... do you even have a heart?" After a moment of silence, she asked calmly in a detached tone.

Upon hearing the usually silent Ariana ask this question, Vincent appeared momentarily stunned, thinking that his words had somehow moved her. "Ari..."

Just as he was about to respond, he heard Ariana tease. "Yes, Jane wanted to climb the social ladder through you, but she genuinely cared for you. I never thought you could be so heartless, piling all the blame on her. If she heard this, she probably would..."

She stopped mid-sentence, unable to hold back a sneer.

Upon hearing Ariana mention Jane again, Vincent became anxious. "Ari... I... I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you can trust me! As long as you can forgive me, even if you want me to transfer the company to you, I'm willing to do so!”

Ariana's eyes paused, and she was momentarily silent. "...”
