Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 69 Apology.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Duke Leslie's intelligence finally came back online and prevented the situation from developing further.

I also thought clearly about whose side I should stand on.

Putting aside what benefits the Genetic Research Institute can bring her, being on good terms with Duke Lu Xia will only benefit the Leslie family.

She is not really stupid. She is very clear-headed when it comes to the interests of the family. Since both sides cannot gain the advantage at the same time, she can only keep the one with the most advantage.

Prince Li Mang, who was standing at the handrail on the second floor not far away and took all these words in, smiled. This time, she really began to admire the young female, Duke Lu Xia.

Even when facing a behemoth like the Genetic Research Institute, the little female did not retreat at all, and even successfully threatened the other party.

Clean and decisive, the attack is quick, accurate and ruthless, directly hitting the opponent's vital points!

A fatal blow leaves the opponent no room for resistance.

I guess this time, the Genetic Research Institute will have to think carefully before doing anything else.

Lu Xia looked at Duke Leslie who said this, smiled and nodded to indicate that she did a good job.

Seeing the indifference on Lu Xia's face disappear, Duke Leslie's heart was relieved. Fortunately, Duke Leslie did not persist in his delusion.

After Duke Leslie finished speaking, he didn't put down the phone but continued, "I'll take up a few minutes of your time. My son, Xiuska, also has something to say to his younger brother, Grace, tonight."

Xiuska, whose name was called, was standing behind the crowd. He had been standing there listening when the people from the Genetic Research Institute were speaking. His heart was full of joy. He was looking forward to Grace being taken away by the people from the Genetic Research Institute. It would be best if something unexpected happened and she died during the research process, so that no one would compete with her or fight for her.

But no one expected that Duke Lu Xia would stand up and publicly defend Grace.

He still couldn't figure out why Grace, who was just a useless "defective" male, could be loved and protected by a female like Duke Lu Xia?

But before he could figure it out, Duke Leslie had already called his name, leaving him no room for maneuver. Even when everyone's eyes were on him, he had not had time to hide the gloomy expression on his face.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes at the same time, Xiuska was frightened. The more nervous he became, the less he could control his facial expression. As a result, the expression on Xiuska's face looked more and more ferocious.

But no matter what, he had to go on stage and perform the role that Duke Leslie had arranged for him - to apologize to Grace.

As he came on stage, the female protagonist who came with him couldn't stand the attention. She felt that every minute she stayed there was humiliating and tormenting, so she simply left him and walked away without looking back.

Xiuska took the microphone from Duke Leslie and tried to say something pleadingly, but was met with Duke Leslie's threatening gaze. In the end, he could only act according to the script arranged by Duke Leslie: "I, Xiuska, am Grace's brother, but I have never fulfilled my brotherly duties. I also bullied Grace because he was a defective male. I regret it and am ashamed. So today, in front of everyone, I want to solemnly apologize to him. I'm sorry, Grace, I was wrong!"

When he said the last three words, Xiuska's eyes reddened and his voice choked. He couldn't tell if he was truly ashamed or if it was all embarrassing. Lu Xia stood aside, staring at Xiuska coldly, his heart unwavering.

She is not a saint, and she only cares about the people she cares about. As for whether other people are miserable or not, it actually has nothing to do with her.

She has never been anyone's savior, and she doesn't care what will happen to Xiuska after this time. Moreover, she feels that he should pay the price for everything in the past.

Grace did not show up, but Lu Xia knew very well that he could hear it. Even if Xiuska's apology was not sincere, it was enough.

Duke Leslie did not let Hughes stay. It was not a glorious thing for a hero to apologize to another hero, but Grace was now the one that the family valued.

"Actually, as a mother, I was also negligent. I failed to discover the discord between the brothers earlier, causing Grace to suffer so much injustice. I also want to apologize."

After he finished speaking, Duke Leslie also bowed in public.

Seeing this, everyone attending the dinner party did not expect Duke Leslie to be so flexible. Everyone knew that in a family with many children, the status of "defective" males has always been the lowest. No one cared whether they would be bullied by their brothers and sisters. This has become a default thing.

It is not difficult to guess that Duke Leslie did all this because Grace has become a gene fusion, and there is a female master like Duke Lu Xia, which has greatly increased the value. It has reached a point where Duke Leslie cannot easily ignore it, so there is today.

Everything he did was to repair his relationship with Grace and maintain contact with Duke Lu Xia.

There was no one stupid person present. Even though they knew the truth in their hearts, they still pretended to be moved, applauded, and spoke well of Duke Leslie.

The atmosphere on the scene became lively again.

Lu Xia was quite satisfied with tonight's celebration banquet, even though some disgusting people from the Genetic Research Institute showed up in the middle. Fortunately, Duke Leslie did not do anything irreparable.

After this incident, anyone who wants to target Grace again will have to think about whether they can provoke a joint counterattack from Duke Luxia and Duke Leslie.

Lu Xia had achieved his goal. Before the dinner was over, he said goodbye to Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang and left the banquet early with Grace.

Before leaving, Lu Xia informed the two of Grace's upcoming promotion to major general, and invited them to come to his house for a small gathering to celebrate.

After watching the two leave, Prince Li Mang looked at Duke Leslie and said, "I really envy you now. It's unexpected that Duke Lu Xia can defend Grace so much."

"Not only did His Excellency not expect this, I also didn't expect it. I can't even remember what Duke Lu Xia was like back then. I just feel that she is really completely different now. What she said to the people from the Gene Research Institute today, even if I were 20 years younger, I wouldn't dare say it. She is really very courageous!"

"It's not that you don't dare, it's that you can't let go of your face, and you think it's not worth doing this for Grace. It's not that you don't have the courage." Prince Li Mang revealed the truth.
