Chapter 12
The Remorseful Brothers
chapter 12 Chapter 12 Ella scorned, âAre you Henryâs sister! Youâre indeed gorgeous and with great courage, too, for showing up alone. Youâre so delicate that Iâm afraid you will cry out of fear before the fun begins.â
Kevin sized her up unobtrusively. âYouâre a beauty indeed. Itâs unlucky for you to have a brother like him. Why donât you take me as your treat my younger sister well!â
brother!!
Everyone laughed obscenely.
Madeline peered at them Initially, she had no recollection of their faces.
1. s. But at this moment, her memories suddenly came rushing back to her.
The woman thought, âEven though times changed and things became different, I still wanted to win this race so much back then.
âWhere is Henry?â
Elb raised her chin. âOver there. You really care about him, huh? For him, you, a woman, are willing to show up at such a place alone. I heard that Henry loves his sister the most. It seems like the rumors are true.ââ
âHeh.â Madeline pursed her lips. âHenryâs beloved sister is called Winslet. My name is Madeline Ella frowned and wondered if she called the wrong person over.
Unfortunately, she didnât even know the unspoken rules in the Larson family. Hence, she couldnât care less.
Madeline walked to Henry and dragged the halfâdead him out of the car.
âWhat are you doing?â Henry mumbled as impatience filled his ruggedly handsome face.
Above his sharp nose, his rebellious eyes were halfâclosed. They looked particularly roguish at the moment because he was drunk Fila deliberately shouted, âHenry, youâre so lucky. Your sister is here to save you Henry seemed to regain some of his consciousness when he heard this. He took Madelineâs hand and said, âWinnie... Leave now! Let me be. Winnie, they wonât dare to do anything to me. I will be fine... Youâre a young woman and shouldnât come to such a dangerous place... Guilt and love filled his voice as he talked, âLeave quickly. Call Lucas to pick you up!â
Hearing this, Ella chuckled. âEveryone, he called her Winnie. But I thought this womanâs name is Madeline?â
Lac Long grinned. âThis is impressive!â
Kevin replied, âHe has so many sisters to protect him. What a blessing. Iâm jealous Madelineâs eyes were full of shame and anger.
Looking at Henryâs handsome face that had become sullen and haggard just because he was drunk and heartbroken, Madeline raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
Slap!
Madelineâs hand was numb with pain, Everyone else was stunned.
They mused, âShe hit him hard!â
Henryâs check burned with pain. âOuch...
The beating suddenly sobered up the drunk man.
He struggled to open his eyes, only seeing the white lights flickering before him. There, before him, stood a young round and round in Henryâs eyes.
â He held his forehead in chagrin. âWinnie, donât be angry. Iâm wrong... Itâs all my fault.â
ung woman. She was is also spinning He tried to pull Madelineâs hand, but the latter dodged.
Henry fell to the ground pathetically as he called out to Winslet gently.
Madeline wid coldly, âHenry, take a look at me Who am If Youâre a jinx. If good things happen, itâs Winsletâs contribution. You let me take the blame for all of the bail things!â
Chapter 12 She looked at the embarrassed man sprawling on the ground.
Madeline wondered, âWhy? Why did I spend my previous life trying to please this scumbag in such a lowly way? Why was I so meek? Why did I try to be gentle and caring? I donât want to be wronged like that again. Never again Ella deliberately poured a water bottle over Henryâs head and patted his head, trying to humiliate him.
âShe said her name was Madeline, not Winslet. Mr. Henry Larson, did you mistake her for someone else?
With blurred vision, Henry frowned and struggled to get up from the ground with the help of the car door. âYou... Madeline. Who allowed you to come here? Who are you to show up! Youâre not even part of the Larson family. Are you here to mock me?â
Madeline slapped him again.
She gritted her teeth in anger and stated, âYouâd better understand your current situation, loser! If you hadnât dragged me into the water, would I be here?
Annoyed that Madeline, who he always despised, called him a loser and a jinx, Henry became frustrated.
He forced his limp body to stand straight as the veins on his temples became visible, âWho bel told you to come! Fuck off! I donât need your help!â Henry scolded.
The onlookers watched the scene unfold with a hint of amusement This was not a place where Madeline could come and go whenever she wanted. She would have to pay the price to leave.
âStop thinking so highly of yourselfâ
Madeline was not a saint, so she was obviously not going to rescue Henry.
Ella tunted, âHey, are you his enemy or something?â
âOf course,â Madeline sneered and turned to the other onlookers. âBut thatâs a different matter.â
She was not interested in saving Henry. On the contrary, she had been thinking about teaching these people a lesson for a long time.
Ella sighed. âEven if you say so, I donât believe it. Perhaps both of you are working together to fool us? Hereâs the deal. Weâre not unreasonable people. Itâs easy for you to rescue him today. You just have to win him back like how he lost to us! Ella blew on her nails, âBut weâre not responsible for your life, so you got to be careful.â
In her previous life, Madeline was forced to race It was useless for her to refuse. These people wanted her dead.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Even if she died, Henry wouldnât feel anything. What was worse was that he might even clap his hands when Madeline was gone. After all, she was the thorn in their flesh and the first obstacle that stopped Winslet from achieving her happiness, âWait.â Kevin stepped forward. âYou have another choice. If you are willing to serve Caspian, we can let you go. Otherwise, you donât have the right to say no. Luckily, Caspian is into schoolgirls like your Madeline shook her head. âI can compete with you, but the bet has to change.â
Kevin raised his eyebrows. âDo you have a driverâs license? Youâre definitely going to lose, so why are you still negotiating the terms with us?
âI donât want to save Henry. I want 100 thousand dollars.â
Kevin didnât lack the money requested by Madeline, and he thought things bad become more interesting He immediately wrote a check and threw it at Madeline, âI hope you will get to spend this money as you need to survive the race first. Donât die, okay? If you die, itâs a waste of that pretty face of yours.
Madeline put away the check, took Henryâs key, and got into his car.
Henry was sober at this time. His eyes were red, and there were water stains on his hair.
His clothes were wrinkled. Henry was a m HAS But the cruelty in his eyes was still very much visible.
âWhatâs the point of you guys bullying a woman like her! I do it. I compete with you guys again!â
3:20 PM â â
Chapter 12 Ella sneered. âWe donât want to compete with her. We only want to race with her. Are you afraid that she will die? That result is what we want. Whatâs the point of doing this if we change people now?â
Madeline shook off Henryâs grasp on her arm. âMind y your own business.â
Bang!
Madeline closed the car door.
Henry felt cold all over er his body, and shivers ran down his back as he stared at Madelineâs side profile through the car window.
He felt a little regretful. âMadeline, donât do this just because you want to prove something to me. You donât know how to driverâ
Madeline put her hands on the steering wheel, smiled, and looked sarcastically at Henry. âMe being alive or not is not something you consider and care about right?â
Despite Henryâs attempts, his throat was dry, and his words remained unspoken.
