What does "Despite all this" in this context mean?

Despite all this, will you be able to forgive me?

I confused about "despite" 's usage, I understand the example in dictionary, but for this question, I'm a bit confused.

Thank you

Another way to say this would be,

“Even though all of this happened, will you be able to forgive me?”

The relationship would remain unaffected even though something happened that requires forgiveness.
