Why do many bullies only apologize if the bullied becomes successful?

Anonymous

If the person they bullied suddenly becomes successful or is the manager, they're sorry. Why do they only apologized if the bullied is at a higher position?

That doesn't look like real remorse. They wouldn't apologize if the bullied was either poor or an average worker.

I was reading a post about a former female bully wanting to apologize to the girl she bullied after seeing she's in a great relationship and successful in life meanwhile the bully is single and unhappy.
That's not a rea, sincere apology. What if the victim falls back down, then the bully will look down on you again.
