Chapter 14
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 14 Chapter 14 thinking about? You donât love me anymore, do you! Youâre being so Windei beld her chin and said with dissatisfaction. Henry, what are you this Henry looked at the angry Winslet in front of him.
He was slightly annoyed that Madelineâs presence had managed to influence him.
âWinnie, go to the car dealership and choose whichever car you like. Iâll give it to you as a gift for university:
Winslet was overjoyed. âReally!â
âYour brother loves you the most. How could he not! Silly cluldâ Layla said.
Madeline came clownstairs reluctantly She sat at the eilge of the table.
Upon seeing her, Layla felt irritated.
âSuch an eyesore, she thought If Madeline were half as good as Winslet, Layla wouldnât hate her so much.
Winslet deliberately said, âMaddie, I have good news for you. Tim going to Acocester University next month. Henry and Mom are giving me a car as a gift Maddie, since you donât have a driverâs license, Iâll take you and my friends out for a ride once we buy the car Layla smiled awkwardly. âWhy would you take her? Donât embarrass yourself in front of your friends, Madeline had just picked up the fork but stiffened at those words.
âMadeline got into Accester University, while Winslet got into a vocational school.â
Her eyes were cold. âHow many times do I need to remind you? It seems unnecessary to celebrate your advancement. After all, I wonât agree to give up my spot,â she said.
âYou... Why are you so stubborn? Donât you need any money from your family? How are we going to treat your grandfatherâs illness! You canât be this selfish!â Layla exclaimed in anger.
Madeline sneered at her words, âMy grandfather didnât get a single penny from the Larson family. If weâre calculating it this way, then give me back every cent 1 earned from my partâtime jobs. I worked hard for that money. It wouldnât even be enough for you all to buy a bag. Thereâs no need for this, is there!â
Layla frowned when she recalled what she had done.
However, she would never admit to it. âStop spouting nonsense. Your grandfather and the others are just too greedy. I donât even know how much money theyâve taken from our family. Theyâre deliberately trying to gain your sympathy. This kind of malicious people will face retribution in the future!â
Madeline put down her utensils.
She left immediately.
âLook at your sister, Henry, I canât persuade her anymore. To think sheâd talk back to me because of two outsiders! I went through the hardship of carrying her for ten months and giving birth. If I had known, I wouldnât have endured that suffering!â Layla sighed.
âMom, donât be angry. Iâll always listen to you, Winslet took the opportunity to say sweet words.
for that ungrateful person!â
Layla fell for her act. âLuckily, I still have a thoughtful daughter like Winnie. I could care less fort Madeline left the house and took a taxi to the bank There were many people at the bank at this time. She waited for 20 minutes before her number was called.
She took her card to exchange a check.
Hello, Iâd like to exchange this check âJust a moment,â Ivy said, glancing at Madeline several times.
âA little girl, dresseil sa shabbily, holding a 100âthousandâdollar check. Is it fake? she thought in disclain.
Chapter 14 Ufter some thought, Ivy said, âI apologize. Weâll need the managerâs approval for such a large amount of money. Please take a seat.â
The teller then got up and went to look for the manager.
francis heard the tellerâs words and came over He was the manager of Calla Bank He looked at Madeline with a faint smile.
Madeline felt a little suspicious. âHello, can I have this check exchanged now?â she asked.
Francis gave the check in his hand a slight shake, his tone less than pleasant. âThe check is genuine, but... how did you come by this check! Do I ave to involve the authorities before youâre willing to confess?â
Madeline was shocked. She pursed her lips and said nothing vy sneered, acting high and mighty as if she had seen through Madelineâs plan.
Thatâs right. This is a check from the Zimmerman family. How could someone like you have relations with Mr. Zimmerman! Whoâd believe you? âm telling you, Mr. Zimmerman was in a car accident and is in the hospital. You must have stolen this check, right?
You look so demure and quiet. 1 didnât expect you to be so despicable Ivyâs tone was full of disgust and contempt Francis waved a hand and said, âWhatâs the point of saying so much to her? Call the security guard to arrest her. Weâll know when the police arrive.â
The people around them heard Francisâ words.
They immediately began to point and gesture rudely at Madeline.
âOh my, how can someone be like this!â
âShe looks pretty.
It turns out sheâs a thief.â
âYou can never judge a book by its cover. She stole a check for 100 thousand dollars. Sheâs definitely going to end up in jail now âDisgusting. How shameless, to actually steal things!â
Madeline clenched her Ests. âI didnât. Do you have any evidence?â
Francis was was amused. âDo you have any evidence that the check is yours? You can call the Zimmerman family nowâ
Of course, it was impossible for Madeline to contact the Zimmerman family.
Just then, someone recognized Madeline.
He pulled Francis aside and whispered, âMr. Underwood, this is Mr. Mooreâs fiancée. She came here beforeâ
Upon hearing this, Francisâ brows furrowed. The situation had become complicated.
âIvy, donât call the police for now. Let me make a phone call. Keep an eye on her Initially, Francis had the intention of impressing Kevin since this involved the Zimmerman family.
However, he didnât expect to pull Benjamin into the situation as well.
Madeline hated being slandered. She already faced such situations at home.
Now, she sat on a chair, the surrounding people looking at her disdainfully. Her expression soured with each passing second Her fists were clenched rightly, and her clothes were wrinkled from how tightly she grabbed them.
Soon, two people arrived.
âMadeline, why are you constantly causing trouble? Benjamin was livid, especially since this time involved stealing âYouâre a prominent young lady. Do you have to steal? Youâre such an embarrassment.
âMaddie, whatâs wrong with you.â Winslet looked worried, âBenjamin, you donât know this, but my mother said this morning that sheâd buy me a car worth 100 thousand dollars as a gift. Iâm guessing Madlie might have gone astray because of that. Please donât blame her. She was momentarily misguided. It wasnât intentionalâ
SEND GIFT Chapter 14 Benjamin looked at Madeline and said, âI remember one time during summer camp when I was injured. You were just a little girl, but you carried me on your back and walked for over six miles to the hospital. Madeline, I thought you were a kind girl at that time. How did you become like this? Is it because youâre jealous of Winnieâ
Madeline sat on the stool, her slender legs touching the ground slightly.
She lowered her head, her long dark hair softly scanered on her shoulders.
She was thin. Without her thick bangs and blackârimmed glasses, sheâd be a beauty.
When she didnât speak, she looked a little weak.
âMaddieâ Benjaminâs heart softened. âDonât worry. I wonât let you have a record.
As long as Madeline was sensible like Winslet and submitted to him, it would be easy for him to handle todayâs matter.
