Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Winslet felt a sharp pang in her heart as she watched her parents eagerly wait for Madeline’s return. Mie thought, ‘Did my pairs truly see Madeline as more worthy than me?

parents discussing plans for tomorrow. She was determined not in sit idle. Slar would arrtainly make every effort in fight for the marriage with Nick Horton She watched her “Mr. Larson, Mi, Larson is here, the servant came to inform Sharon emerged from the evening twilight. Wearing a black dress, she still radiated charm with her cascading wavy curls even at the age She had sleek eyebrows, charming eyes, a sharp nose, and rosy lips. She wasn’t wearing any designer labels, just a simple grinatute pealant on her neck. However, her elegance and grace made her identity unmistakable. Sharon remained unmarried, and this she was still known as Mc Laren, “Thomas, it’s been so long greeted Sharon Thomas quickly stood up with a warm smile to greet her, “Sharon, you’ve arrived in Acocester without letting us know. We could’ve had the driver. pick you up. Have you had dinner yet? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner right away “No need” Sharon waved her hand. I’m just here to see my niece,”

Thomas and Layla were very polite. After all, even though Sharon was a woman, Ruth valued her a lot. Aside from business matters, her with almost everything, which gave her significant power.

Ruth entrusted Sharon sat down on the sofa, casually taking in the state of Thomas’s house. She had heard that his family had been relocated to Accester and had struggled financially. It seemed true from what she saw, “If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me.”

“Oh, everything’s fine, Layla said, asking someone to bring coffee and personally pouring Sharon a cup up of coffee. “Sharon, have a cup of coffee. Layla didn’t take Sharon’s polite remarks to heart. She harbored resentment. Ever since the Larson family had exiled them to Acorester, no one harl cared if they lived or died. It had been over a decade, and she wasn’t going to maively believe such insincere words now.

Layla held Winsler’s hand and said, “Sharon, this is my eldest daughter, Winslet. Some time ago, Winnie had a minor car accident and got a slight injury on her leg, but she’ll be fully recovered in a month or two Layla smiled warmly, looking very kind.

“Winnie, won’t you greet your aunt?”

Sharon was unaware of the situation regarding the true or false daughters over here. She nodded slightly at Winslet and said simply, “Hi, Winnie” “Aunt Sharon, Eve heard Mom and Dad say how beautiful you are. I see it’s true today, Winslet, with her knack for sweet–talking, was great at flattering people.

In just a little while, she had Sharon smiling happily. However... Sharon picked up her cup and took a sip, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Someone who knew how to please others was nothing more than a source of temporary amusement, The Horton family was among the Top Ten Families, and when any of their sons married, they paid close attention to the daughter–in–law’s abilities. If just knowing how to please others was enough, then plenty of online celebrities would be vying for Nick’s attention. They definitely wouldn’t need just eye candy Sharon had almost given up hope and casually asked, “Layla, I heard your family has another daughter named Madeline?

“That’s right,” Layla smiled. “Maddie is quite shy and doesn’t talk much. She’s busy at school today. She ranked first in the whole city on the SAT and got into an elite university. So she’s often tied up with her studies and doesn’t have much time to be home.

Plus, she works at Vanguard Corporation. She was exceptionally hired as a full–time employee. Wow, this kid is really busy.”

Layla wanted to mention that Madeline was also the CEO of Glorious Group. But she didn’t dare boast too much, fearing it might upset Caleb and the others, which could lead to trouble It was clear that Sharon was much more interested in Madeline than in Winsler. She lifted a corner of her mouth, her smile becoming a bit more genuine. “Really! Would Vanguard Corporation hire a college freshman?”

“Of course, she’s even the CEO’s secretary!” said Layla proudly.

*If I’m not wrong, the CEO of Vanguard Corporation is.. Steven Sharon mentioned the name with a noticeably serious tone.

At the top of the Top Ten Families was the Wagner family. This massive family had roots going back over a hundred Steven was also the Head of the Japrium Great Four, He was exceptional years and was truly prestigious Fyen Sharon looked at Thomas with a perplexed expression and said, “Thomas, that’s not fair. Maddie is so talented. How can you keep her hidden‘ † though Nick is the youngest in his family, he still has a high status. If Maddie could marry Nick, it would certainly be a good match”

Sharon had seen pictures of Madeline before. Madeline was truly beautiful, undoubtedly the most stunning among the daughters of the Larson family. With her excrpitonal skills, Sharon had every reason to seriously consider Madeline.

Chapter 121 Tut Maddie’s personality... Thomas felt slightly apprehensive.

“It’s better for a girl to be independent and reserved.” Sharon said more patiently. T’ll stay here tonight. Can I see her tomorrow!”

“Yes, absolutely. It will be her birthday tomorrow, so you’ll definitely meet her,” Layla responded eagerly.

Winslet stood by, watching them talk on and on about Madeline. Her heart was boiling with anger and jealousy. It felt like she was just a useless piece of furniture here, with nobody sparing her a second glance. She thought, I am not inferior compared to Madeline at all. Why do they pick Madeline instead of me?

Winslet clenched her hands so tightly that her nails pierced her palms, causing sharp pain. If Nick had to choose, he would definitely pick her over that dull and boring Madeline.

In an internet cafe, Nick sat in fi front of a computer, but the screen was off. Next to him sat the cafe owner, Alexander. Is this how you treat your customers? I don’t play games, so I’m just left sitting here doing nothing.”

Alexander finished his game, took off his headphones, and looked playfully at the refined gentleman in front of him. “I’m hiding out here to escape the whole matchmaking marriage thing. Didn’t you just come back from studying abroad? Can you even handle an arranged marriage?” Alexander shook his head with a click of his tongue. I’d rather die than let someone else decide my marriage.”

Nick smiled. He had striking good looks and exceptional charm. He exuded an air like that of an ancient, well–preserved book, reserved but attractive. “Thave no choice. I have to marry the daughter from the Larson family. That’s just the way it is in my family, How can I ever resist their plans! Instead of causing a scene. I’d rather choose someone I can tolerate.”

Alexander smirked, “You’re just letting yourself go because your first love didn’t work out. You’ll regret one day.”

Seeing Alexander focused on his computer, Nick idly turned on his phone. He came across a series of pictures sent by his eldest sister, Anna Horton (Anna These were selected by Sharon. Take a look. They’re all quite nice, especially the last one.]

Nick wiped through the pictures. Each one showed elegant young ladies dressed in luxurious outfits, all graceful and poised.

The daughters from the Larson family were educated, gentle, and virtuous, similar to other noble girls. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers, finding it hard to tell them apart, His finger paused as his gaze fell on the last photo, the phone screen softly glowing. The girl was tall and composed, with her long hair tied up high. wearing a white blouse, and holding two books as she walked briskly across the campile She was beautiful, but her eyes were extremely indifferent, Nick looked at the name out of curiosity, Madeline.
