Repentance for Those Who Slander Others

Question
What is the expiation for someone who has wronged others' honor with lies before their repentance, and cannot apologize or seek forgiveness due to embarrassment, difficulty, or the possibility of causing problems?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is best for him to increase in seeking forgiveness and repentance to God Almighty, and to increase in charity, so that he may achieve the meanings of sincere repentance. And God knows best.
