Chapter 262

Chapter 262 It was unnaturally silent in the dining room.

It was so quiet that people could have heard a pin drop.

No one spoke, moved, or even picked up their forks.

Layla wanted to say that she had already persuaded Madeline to come here so regardless of how things eventually ended, she had done her part.

So she thought they deserved the dividend that Ruth promised them But it seemed that they wouldn’t get the villa, let alone the dividend.

She wanted to be drunk but looking at Ruth’s face, she managed to shut her mouth up.

She found depending on others frustrating Conner leaned back in his chair with a mild smile. He looked down at his plate, lost in thought.

Tiana smiled. looking at Thomas gloatingly.

Ruth sighed deeply, frustrated and depressed. Thomas Tam nice to you all, right I have done so much for you but you spoiled this wild girl to cause trouble for me!”

Ruth sneered, “I really care about your daughter, you know. But she is so disappointing”

Suddenly, she threw her fork at the floor.

The fork bounced up and landed somewhere far away Laura quickly winked at a servant. “Go get another fork.

Ruth noried, “No need “I don’t have an appetite. We’ve been waiting for her happily since early in the morning. Why did she ruin everything?”

Ruth glanced at Thomas, who was sitting beside her uneasily. “Thomas has something else to take care of. Take away their plates and show them w days. There’s no need to visit me during the cleaning”

The servant will clean the house thoroughly in the next few days.”

Tiana chuckled, “Ruth, don’t be so angry. I’ll be bad for your health. You haven’t had an appetite recently, right? The fall is about to end. Depression. is the last thing you want.

“Tll ask Lincoln’s wife to cook some soup for you. She’s really good at it Bell quickly said, “I do it as soon as possible.

Layla hurriedly said, “I can make sur sume soup too. How about I do it for you, Ruth?”

Ruth didn’t even glance at Layla She ignored Layla like she was not there. She just sneered.

Her wrinkled face was showing her undisguised disgust and contempt.

Tiana rolled her eyes. Layla, stop it. We’ll be worried if you want to poison Ruth.

“You’re ganged up to upset her. Aren’t you trying to make her feel it It’s not the right thing to do”

Penny stuck her chin out “She doesn’t respect the elders at all Without you, Fm sure Madeline wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant Apparently, they were trying in calm Ruth down that actually, they were adding fuel to the fire Ruth, short of breath, said, “Leave! What are you waiting for?“!

Thomas and the others felt like they were sitting on hot coals, uncomfortable and embarrassed. So, they quickly stood up and left the Larson residence As soon as they stepped out the gate, the door slammed shut behind them.

Thomas rubbed his temples, s sighing. “We are as pathetic as stray dogs in this big city Chapter 262 Even Joel was a bit displeased by his mom, “This is what happened after you insisted on coming to this city. Now, it’s exactly what Madeline said We’re treated like stray dogs by the Larson family”

Layla’s eyes widened. “Isn’t it all for the family!”

The car drove away from the Larson residence.

Madeline noticed that Yohannes was silent so she asked, puzzled, “Where are you going? I can give you a ride. You aren’t going to waste the whole day doing nothing, are you?

“Are you hungry? Want to have breakfast?”

Yohannes was going to admit he had nothing to do today but he thought it would make him look too eager for her.

He said, “No need. Grab something if you’re hungry. You can just drop me off at my office.

“I have a tight schedule. A lot of business appointments.”

Yohannes said too much. But Madeline didn’t know his schedule so she didn’t doubt anything.

After dropping Yohannes off, she drove to Japrium University and found a restaurant nearby to have breakfast She walked around and noticed a nicely decorated shop called “Eggplant,” which she found rule.

Madeline went inside and sat down.

A waitress asked, “What would you like to eat today? You can order your food after scanning the code here.

Madeline looked up at the boy and asked, “Are you a student at Japrium University?”

The boy looked innocent. It was common for students to work part–time at stores near the campus. It was easy for her to tell apart the full–time staff from the students doing a part–time job, “Yes, would you like my recommendation? The boy smiled politely and gently, adjusting his glasses, “Are you here on a vacation”

Many students who wanted to apply to Japrium University wanted to travel to this city.

Especially now, with exams around the corner, some students would want to get familiar with this place to motivate themselves.

But Madeline didn’t really look like a college student. She looked much younger.

“Not really,” said Madeline. She was pretty and people would love to talk to her “I’m here to finish the procedures. Ill be transferred here” Madeline smiled, “I am wondering if you must take a lot of classes at Japrium University! Do students get opportunities for internships and can they take leave?”

“Well, I can handle it. We’re encouraged to have practical experience” The boy thought about it for a moment and replied, “You can add me on WhatsApp. We can talk about it later,”

The boy opened the WhatsApp on his phone and said, “Tim the vice president of the student union so I interact with the teachers a lot and know a lot of the policies here.”

Madeline thought it was a good idea to add him on WhatsApp.

Aboy suddenly rushed in: He glanced at the two people who were talking with each other and said, “Boss, sorry Sorry Eml late. It’s great you e can stand in for me.

1, “Oh, wow, Link coughed drily and quickly dragged Jules away. “Don’t scare off the customers.

Madeline didn’t mind it. She only found is quite funny, you’re flirting with the girl, aren’t you? You always claim that you’re going to be single forever. But behind ITBY back, yo -you Madeline said, “So, he’s the boss, huh? It’s quite impressive for a college student to run a b seemed a successful business.

to run a business. She looked around the restaurant and noticed in It was clean and tidy, decorated in a simple and elegant way. It featured in home–style dishes, quite down–to–earth.

Seeing that Madeline was lost in thought, Jules walked to her with a bottle of juice while Link went to change his clothes “Madeline, it’s on the house 11:04 AM Chapter 262 Link walked out and patted Jules on th the shoulder. I’m von leaving. Make sure to hire more people. I can work here all the time.”

“Got it. Jules turned to Link and complained, “You rejected that girl. You scared her off. It’s your fault.”
