Ruth Hale lowered her head and said to Zoe Quinn.
She didn't apologize to Serena Sullivan or Skylar Sinclair, but she apologized to Zoe Quinn here.
No one understood her actions. Regardless of how it was, when she took on the responsibility, she blocked her own path for the future but gave a lifeline to Zoe Quinn.
Zoe Quinn, seeing Ruth Hale agreeing with her, felt no guilt; she was speaking the truth.
Without Ruth Hale's instigation, how could she have plagiarized from Serena Sullivan and Skylar Sinclair?
As the show ended, the audience gradually left, and the venue slowly quieted down. Ruth Hale, losing face, stood on the stage, feeling like all the strength had been drained from her body as she walked off, almost collapsing when she nearly reached the ground.
