Chapter 260
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 260 For the ebru time, Madeline looked straight at Layla. âWithout money, I canât be a good granddaughter or a good daughter.â
After Madeline nished speaking, she leaned back on the chair with her eyes glinting with a playful smile.
Seeing that Madeline dared to act se shumelessly. Lincoln couldnât help but admire her boldness.
He wasnât capable of anything so he had been living off his share of the dividends.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he kept a low profile at home and was always cautious, So he was amazed by his niece. He thought she was so holİ and frank!
Thomas found himself somewhat starting to admire Madeline, After all, people risked their lives for money like birds risked their lives for food. People who didnât care about money were unnatural Penny sneered. As Sunnyâs wife, she worked really hard but didnât get much money. So she was angry that as soon as Madeline came back, she asked her for an expensive villa Penny said, âMadeline, the family indeed has some money. If you want money, itâs easy. You need to give something of equal worth, right?â
Madeline said sincerely, feeling that Penny was a gloomy person. âOf course, I agree with youâ
She thought, If I couldnât give them something of equal worth, they wouldnât have asked me back. If I was worthless, the Larson family would probably aroid me like Iâm the symbol of a plague!
Ruch figured out everything now. She was smart How could she not know what Madeline meant!
Madeline didnât come here to have a meal with them but to provoke them.
Since Madeline had come clean, Ruth thought there was no need to beat around the bush.
Ruth chuckled sullenly and said in a bit frightening and low voice, âI promised your family a ten percent of the dividend every year. I definitely keep my word.
âBut you all have to behave and do exactly what I tell you to doâ
Layla elenched her fists, a bit t it tempted As long as she could get the dividend, she thought being obedient to Ruth didnât bother her at all.
Once they got the dividend, her family could finally turn the tide.
Layla put on an ingratiating smile. Following Ruthâs orders are the right things to do anyway!
Your words are commands to us. We wonât dare to defy you!â
Jacob frowned, feeling uneasy asy with Ruthâs intimidating presence.
He knew very well that everyone had to make sacrifices if he wanted to gain anything Jacob said, âMom, you should stop nowâ
Layla was already swept up in excitement. There was no way she would take Jacobâs advice.
to do or something against his morals! Should i Thomas was silent. He thought, âFollowing Ruthâs orders? But what if itâs something he doesnât want to will follow her ordersâ
Ruth chuckled. âYou donât need to worry. What Iâm asking you to do is certainly for the good of the family. Itâs always business, not personal mattersâ Her drooping eyelids showed her shrewitness She continued, âMadeline, since you want money, you should carefully consider whether to follow my orders in the future.â
Conner looked at Madrime and said. âMadeline, taking your hve brothersâ
ing dividends from the family isnât just beneficial for you. Itâs also o good for your your parents and He laughed. âIf I were you, Iâd say yes right away. Roth wonât do anything to hurt you Tiasa forced a sunile, jealousy deep side. âYes. A ten percent of the dividend is something others dream about?
Chapter 360 Madeline just listened to them quietly.
Ruth wasnât in a hurry. She looked calm, sitting on the chair, like an experienced captain. She silently observed everyoneâs expression.
Layla wanted to advise Thomas but seeing that her husband was expressionless, she turned to Joel.
She asked, âJoel, do you agree with me? Itâs only right for us to contribute to the family.â
Joel looked away from her. âMadeline refused to come back here so Ruth never talked about the dividends. Now, she suddenly mentions it.
âDo you think my answer really matters? Sheâs clearly doing it for Madeline.
âShe just wants Madeline to be obediem and compliant to her, not us. Itâs Madelineâs decision.â
Joel was already annoyed with the current atmosphere. Everyone was clearly very scheming He didnât like in Layla looked a little hesitant. But she smiled warmly at Madeline, She said. âMadeline, what do you think?
âYou know you have a share of that ten percent dividend.
âAfter all, youâre family too. Youâre part of the Larson family Madeline raised her hand slightly, âI thought it was free. Turns out I have to sell myself to the Larson family?
âAre you waiting to count the money that you guys will make through selling me?â
galittle bit regretful. âIf I had known it wasnât a gift, I wouldnât have come here. I wasted a lot of gas driving here, you Madeline stood up, looking a know.
âYohannes, thereâs indeed no free lunch in this world. Letâs go.
Ruth shouted, âStop! She didnât expect that Madeline would just leave like that.
Ruthâs face was terrifyingly sullen. She said. âDo you always do whatever you want? Donât you have to think about your brothers and your parents?â
Madeline paused, looking back at Ruth in confusion. âWhy would I care about them?â
Then Madeline strode out decisively.
Ruth slammed her fist on the table and shouted. Thomas, youâd better go and talk some sense into your daughter! How dare she leave here just like that? How dare she disrespect ine?â
Thomas stood up, embarrassed and seared.
Everyone else at the table looked at him and his family, waiting to see them get into trouble with amusement and anticipation Thomas said nothing a g and hurriedly walked out He went out because he wanted to go home, not to convince Madeline of anything.
No one would give up his freedom for his family members who never treated him wel Madeline heard footsteps from behind her at the door so she turned around. She saw her five brothers and father catching up with her with Layla following behind them.
Madeline said, âIf youâre here to talk me out of it, forget it. Iâve made up my y mind Yohannes stood between Madeline and them. He frowned, âYouâre not disabled. Thereâs no need to force a girl to sacrifice for you, right?â
Thomas said. âNo, I just want to have a word with Madeling.â He was annoyed. He didnât have any bad intentions but being misunderstood was a list upserting Henry walked over and looked at Madeline intently, âMadelineâ
Harley asked, âM âMadeline, how are you doing with your studies!â
Jacobs looked at Madeline and said, âMadeline, wer just want to talk with you, nothing more Jord scratched his head, feeling inn einlurrassed to speak, Chapter 260 Lucas smiled. âMadeline, I heard you got a role in a bigâbudget drama. Well done.â
They all tried their best to be friendly, worried they might scare Madeline away again.
But Madeline frowned, being disgusted. âI just came here to see how hard your situation was. Donât try to play up to me. Iâm not interested in pretending to have a close family.
Ifv f youâre so eager for sister, why not sweep Winsletâs tomb more often!
âShe would be happy.â
