Chapter 253
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 253 Just then, the security guards rushed out. The leader, full of aggression, asked, âWhoâs causing trouble here!â
Vanessa pointed at Gavin and Eugene.
However, seeing the smiling Eugene, the security guard immediately backed down. âBoss.â
Eugene waved his hand. âGo back to work. I was just playing a little prank on them. Do not disturb us without my permission.â
The security guards glanced at Monica, then at Vanessa, and left without hesitation. They thought. âBoss is here. Why would we need to get involved? Mr. Sharp is respected by everyone. Pissing him off isnât a good idea.
They left quickly.
Vanessa felt a sense of despair and looked at Madeline. âSay something!â
Madeline only had eyes for Joel and ignored them all. Besides, she trusted Gavin and was sure that he knew what he was doing.
Joel pursed his lips, his voice already trembling with shame, unable to continue. He clenched his fists and said, âI have not degraded myself. I have a job. It was just a misunderstanding.
Joel didnât know why he felt the need to explain. Perhaps he was worried Madeline would think he was unscrupulous for money.
He didnât want to be looked down upon, especially by Madeline.
Madeline nodded indifferently. There are many misunderstandings in the world. You all believed in Winslet back then and treated me as less than family, humiliating and bullying me. Now that youâre in the Larson residence, Iâm sure youâre probably not faring any better. Youâre experiencing the same feelings I had back then. Thatâs why youâre apologizing, but sorry, I donât accept your apology.â
Madeline curled her lips, having anticipated what their life in the Larson residence would be like. She lifted her gaze. âI will never forgive you all.â Joelâs gaze dropped as he exhaled deeply. Seeing Madelineâs calm demeanor, he felt a lump in his throat. âYes, youâre right. We donât deserve your forgiveness. But still, thank you for helping me our Joel watched her standing in the light, radiating an undeniable brilliance. It was hard not to be drawn to her.
She was indeed excellent. Back then, when she returned to the Larson residence, she was strong and independent. Even after being framed countless times by Winslet and bullied by her family, she remained resilient. She got into a great school, became the master of her own life, and no longer had to rely on the Larson family.
Gradually, the Madeline he used to dislike the most had become so excellent that he felt somewhat overshadowed. âIf I hadnât returned to the Larson residence, Madeline, I wouldnât have known how harsh I was on you. Prejudice and indifference are like knives, leaving deep scars on your heart.â
humble.
Joel no longer lived the high life. Witnessing his familyâs struggles due to the money Winslet swindled them out of, he gradually learned to be He now understood his parents better, a and no longer carried himself with coldness and arrogance.
Madeline found his words somewhat amusing. After all, Joel had never bothered to talk to her, and when he did, it was usually with hostility. His sudden modesty made her uncomfortable. âDonât be overly sentimental. I didnât intend to help you out; I just dislike Monica. She annoyed me at the mountain retreat before, and after I beat her up, we had a falling out. Now sheâs blocking my way again. Itâs annoying.
With her arms crossed, Madeline ignored Joel and turned to Gavin. âLetâs go, Gavin. Anyway, they are guests at Eugeneâs club.
We should at least show thein some respect Eugene chuckled softly, finding it somewhat amusing, âThank you for considering that, Maddie:
Cain let go of Monka, warning her, âIf you dare to mess with Madeline again, you wonât be able to get away easily Monica had bruises on her neck. She collapsed on the ground, choking and hurting, which made her cough violently. Her legs went weak and her vision became blurry.
Sitting these in a mess, she didnât dare to utter a single word. She trembled all over, not expecting to encounter Vanessa quackly squatted slown to check on Monica. Seeing her neck, she couldnât help but feel a shudder, relieved that it wa such a a tough opponent for the first 10:50 AM C Chapter 253 It wasnât until the three of them left that Vanessa glanced at Joel. âLook at what your sister has done! Get out of here. You made me annoyed!â
Mandy was surprised, âIs that arrogant woman Joelâs woman Joelâs sister? His biological younger sister?â
Vanessa was in no mood to explain. âYes,â
Joel lef, not wanting to lose dignity and humiliate himself further. However, his steps After walking for a while, he found that it was difficult to hail a taxi here.
s were heavy, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.
A white car approached. Mandy rolled down the window and said, âGet into the car, Joel. Iâll give you a ride. I apologize for my jokes earlier. I just couldnât stand the way Monica uses money to insult people. I come from an educated family and Iâm not the same as them.â
Joel remembered Mandyâs disdain and sharpness towards him. âNo need. Thank youâ
Mandy smiled and said, âDo you want to know who those men with Madeline are? I do. It seems thereâs a little misunderstanding between you, but youâre her brother, so if you know more about her, you can clear up the misunderstanding. The people around her are quite powerful.â
Joel paused and stared at Mandy. He indeed felt that the people around Madeline were powerful and mysterious, but he didnât know who they were.
At the entrance of the club, Monica took a while to recover. She held her neck with tears welling up in her eyes, feeling both scared and humiliated. âI will not let Madeline go easily. Sheâs so annoying!â
Monica couldnât stand being easily humiliated because that meant that Madeline didnât give a damn about her family status. She thought, âHow dare they? Did they know who my parents are? Their disrespect for her was killing her.
Monica said, âDonât stop me, Vanessa. Iâm not just going to make Madeline pay for it. Iâm also going to kill the man who laid a hand on me! Who are they to beat me?â
Vanessa looked at her disheveled appearance, feeling helpless. âAs far as I know, Monica, even n just a playboy, he has powerâ
Are my grandma has some respect for Mr. Sharp. Heâs not you implying that the Williams family lacks power?â Monicaâs eyes were red, her teeth clenched in anger. âDo you look down on me, Vanessa?â âNo.âVanessa hesitated, âWell, I take you to the hospital first. Your neck is bruised. He really went too far. Heâs not like an ordinary person, more like someone whoâs used to violence.
Vanessa didnât know why Madeline was always surrounded by people who couldnât be easily messed with. Last time it was Calch, and this time, it was Eugene. She thought, âNo wonder Dad and Mom wanted to bring her home and use her!
