The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 626

“An apology?” Zadie scoffed. “Is that all we get from the Sherwoods? You show up empty-handed and think a few words will make everything right?”

Fitch quickly signaled the driver to bring the gifts from the trunk. “Zadie, this is just a small token of our sincerity. These are all for Tamara, to help her recover.”

Zadie glanced at the mountain of gift boxes, her tone softening slightly. “It’s not about the gifts; the Sloans have no shortage of money. It’s about your attitude!”

After lecturing them for a while longer, she decided the time was right.

Zadie stepped aside, clearing a path. “Come in. Tamara is resting upstairs.”

The Sherwood family followed Zadie into the Sloans’ grand hall.

Hackett was seated in the main armchair in the living room. Though his expression was grim, his eyes lacked their previous coldness. Ever since the misunderstanding with Fitch, he had harbored a lingering sense of guilt. Now, seeing the Sherwoods arrive with lavish gifts and a sincere attitude, most of his resentment had faded.

“Fitch…” Hackett began, his voice even but missing its usual edge. “What is the meaning of all these gifts today?”

Fitch bowed slightly, his demeanor humble. “Hackett, we already discussed this yesterday.

“What happened before was our family’s fault. Milford is young and impulsive, and I’ve already disciplined him. Today, we’ve come specifically with these gifts to apologize to Tamara and, with your permission, take her home.”
