Chapter 156
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 156 Jasper was somewhat puzzled. âHow did you come up with asking me where Madeline is?â
âI just asked. It seems that youâre the only one in the crew Madelineâs familiar with, and her assistant isnât here either. Lucas was a little awkward and said. âIf youâre not familiar with her, just pretend I didnât ask.â
âWaitâare you the new artist that signed on with Heather Lea from Splendid Media?â asked Jasper.
âYou know that?â Lucas was confused. He used to be a singer but was later busy playing video games. After his family had gone bankrupt, he had to work since he didnât want to rely on his family. When he approached the film crew, he found out that Madeline was also there, and he was quite surprised.
âHeather said she signed on a good talent. Jasper looked at Lucas. He had good looks, but Jasper didnât know about his acting skills. Besides, modest success depended on suppon, but huge success depended on luck.
Lucas had wanted to meet Madeline on the set, but he only saw her in the afternoon.
Madeline came with Yohannes, and they went their separate ways once they arrived. Madeline turned around and saw Lucas running g toward her. âMaddie, I have something to tell you,â he said.
Madeline stepped back and said, âJust say it.â
âI donât mean to annoy you, but itâs really important!â Lucas hurriedly explained.
Not far away, Yohannes said to Jasper, âAsk Madeline to act with meâ
Baffled, Jasper replied, âYou just canât stand seeing her talk to someone else, can you?â
Yohannes glanced at Lucas. His heart ached when he thought about how the Larson family had hurt Madeline. âReplace him. I donât want him around Madeline.â Jasper was confused. I donât like anyone surnamed âLarson,â explained Yohannes.
âMadelineâs last name is also Larson, Jasper quipped.
Yohannes snorted. âSheâs differentâ
Madeline wasnât interested in dealing with Lucas. She turned and headed for the dressing room, while Lucas followed her. He said, âMaddie, just give me three minutes. I know you hate me, and I havenât bothered you recentlyâ
Madeline stopped and turned to look at him. It better be good. I donât like listening to nonsense, and I donât want to waste time on your family.â
Lucas frowned. His throat felt like he had swallowed a better pill. âWinslet had plastic surgery to look just like you.â Lucas sighed.
âIf I had known. sheâd do this, I wouldâve stopped her. But she disappeared for a while, and after she returnedâ
His voice trailed off before he continued, âAunt Sharon is also about to leave the hospital Once sheâs discharged, sheâll take it out on you. Be careful. Maddie. And... your brothers can tell you apart from Winslet, right? Youâd better tell them so they donât mistake someone else for you and get taken advantage ofâ
âThank you.â Madeline was a little surprised. She had mixed feelings and said perfunctorily. âBut my brothers wonât make that mistake. Still, thanks for telling me Lucas had a flattering smile. âMadeline, the weatherâs cold. Youâve never had the best health, so take care of yourself. Before Madeline could lose her patience. Lucas waved his hand and said, âTI go first, I wonât bother you anymore.â He turned around and left happily.
At least, this time, Madeline didnât tell him to get out. Lucas cheered himself up, thinking that he would pay her back what he owed her. He hoped to cam Madelineâs forgiveness.
Madeline sat down in the dressing room. âWinsletâs sick. She got plastic surgery to look like me. Whatâs sh investigate and planned to check things out herself sometime Whatâs she plotting Madeline called someone to message to the WhatsA WhatsApp How similar could Winslet be to her after going under the knife? As she recalled what Lucas had told her, she also sent a message to group.
Madeline typed My foster sister had plastic surgery to look like me. If you guys get the wrong person. Iâll Hebel]
Then, she focused on her work. She didnât know that it made Caleb and the others furious. They were all thinking. Which bastand thinks they can lay a land on Madeline? What are we, chopped liver?
Molan was reading and resting at home. When he heard the notification from his phone, he checked the message. This calm and somewhat sickly.
1414FM Chapter 156 face suddenly ran cold. He clenched the phone, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. âInteresting.â
At the Larson residence, Winslet had a good appetite. The wounds on her face hadnât fully healed yet, so there were bandages on her cheeks. In front of her was a table full of delicious food. âMom, I didnât have anything delicious to eat abroad. It was so depressing,â she said.
âwhy did you do this!â
Layla looked at her daughter with some concern. âWhy Thomas also frowned. âDidnât you look good before! You didnât even discuss the plastic surgery with usâyou just went ahead and did it!â
Jacob looked at Winslet, distressed. âWinnie, does it hurt?â
Winslet shook her head and said, âI donât mind. Jacob. This is nothing compared to you being forced to marry a bad woman. She teared up. pretending to be aggrieved. âMom, Dad, I didnât tell you because I was afraid you wouldnât agree.â
She bit her lips and started to get choked up with sobs as she told them about the plastic surgery and substitute marriage. The plastic surgery was Aunt Sharonâs idea. I agreed to it so she wouldnât do anything to us. She was going to take it out on our family when she got injured.â
âWhat?â Layla was shocked. âSâSharon asked you to get plastic surgery and marry Nick?â
Thomas was stunned. Then, he was overjoyed, but it didnât show on his face. âWinslet, youâre really going to marry into the Horton family! One of the Top Ten Families in Japrium?â
Winslet smiled and said, âYes, Dad. Once my marriage is settled, our family can turn things around.â
Layla felt heartbroken for her daughter, but she also hesitated when she thought about the familyâs turnabout. People were selfish, after all.
âItâs just... Mom, Dad, it would be terrible if Madeline exposed me,â Madeline said pitifully.
Thomas waved his hand calmly. âNo, we only have one daughter in our family. Youâve always been the only one. Nick has a crush on our daughter, and thatâs you. As for Madeline. Sheâs just a poor student that we sponsored because we felt sorry for her Winslet nodded in satisfaction. It was enough for her parents to say that. She didnât want anyone to hold it against her when she married Nick. Layla poured a bowl of soup for V Winslet concerned. âDear, you should eat something light to recover and avoid getting scars.â Thomas also said eagerly. âYeah, Iâll call a doctor over and monitor your recovery to avoid any ny problems.â
Jacob frowned and thought. If I werenât such a loser, Winnie wouldnât have had to suffer like this. Then, he said, âWinnie, Iâll make it up to you when our family gets through this â
Winslet smiled faintly. âThis is what I should do, Jacob. Donât feel burdened. There was suppressed contempt in her eyes.
Truthfully, she didnât care about that minor pain.
When she was abroad, Sharon had given her all the information about Nick. The Horton familyâs scion was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was knowledgeable, humble, and polite.
