Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1196

In the comment sections, netizens couldn't stop buzzing about Luna's transformation.

"Since she already knows she messed up, let's stop dragging up her past mistakes."

"Exactly. Nobody's perfect. Please just let her breathe."

"Whatever her family did, and whatever crimes her brother committed, it really doesn't have much to do with her. As long as Luna is genuinely remorseful, we should give her a second chance."

"Honestly, the mistakes she made were probably orchestrated by her brother anyway."

"Right? She's paid the price for what she did. Let's not hold onto this forever."

Perhaps it was Luna's deeply pathetic demeanor that struck a chord with the public. To Mira's surprise, the endless stream of hate comments had entirely vanished.

Mira scrolled for a moment before tossing her phone aside. She simply didn't have the time or energy to waste on someone so irrelevant to her life.

Luna had never committed an unforgivable atrocity. As long as she kept her head down and stayed out of Mira's way, Mira couldn't care less about what she did.

The following evening, Luna specifically requested to visit Mira's house to apologize to both her and Owen in person.

Mira originally wanted to reject her outright, but she considered the optics. Given how highly publicized Luna's redemption arc was right now, turning her away might give bored netizens fuel to twist the narrative.

So, she graciously agreed.

Luna had just gotten out of lockup, and the sting of her punishment was fresh. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't try to pull a stunt at a time like this.

Besides, with the sheer power and untouchable status Mira and Owen currently wielded, only a suicidal fool would dare cross them.

Just as the family finished dinner, the estate's security called. "A young woman named Luna Lance is at the gate. She says she's here to see you."

"Let her in."

Perhaps intimidated by the sheer aura radiating from Mira and Owen, Luna stepped inside looking utterly terrified. The haughty arrogance that used to define the Lance heiress was completely gone.

Mira and Owen remained seated at the head of the room, looking like royalty.

"Sit," Mira ordered.

Rachel handed the trembling girl a glass of water.

Luna tried to meet their eyes, but the suffocating pressure radiating from the couple forced her to immediately drop her gaze to the floor.

"I... I just came to say that I was wrong before. I never should have helped my brother go against you. I won't do it again. I just want to focus on my classes and live a quiet life..."

"We never went out of our way to target your family. Your brother is facing justice because he brought it on himself by breaking the law."
