Chapter 310
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 310 She thought, âBack then, I joined Monica in causing trouble for Madeline. Now, instead of keeping a low profile, 1 would have to actively provoke Madeline. Thereâs no way Iâm going to do that.
Tiana didnât want to take her daughterâs advice, but just then, Conner walked in from outside and said, âOur daughterâs right. We should just watch from the sidelines. Thereâs no need to take a stand.â
Tiana was puzzled. âDo you really think the Williams family is going to lose!â
who k knowsâ said Conner Tiana thought, âWeâre already enemies with Madeline. When Henry was in a halfâdead state, Thomas and Layla must have hated us to the core Delaying our response will only antagonize the Williams family and land us in a worse situation.
So she wasnât planning to listen to her husband.
Monicaâs funeral soon happened.
The next morning, a funeral procession, with the coffin in a hearse, made its way y to the Williams familyâs ancestral tomb Madeline saw the news about the Williams familyâs loss of a daughter that morning. Sitting on a chair, she was quite perplexed and murmured to herself, âThe Williams family lost a daughter? Monica suddenly died of illness? Whatâs going on She called Gavin, but he was completely clueless Madeline stroked her chin. She had been detached from outside affairs for many days and hadnât anticipated such a significant changeâMonica, who had once attempted to poison her, had died so soon.
She thought, âIt really is true what they say: âHe who commits too many misdeeds will meet his end.â
She didnât feel any sympathy. After putting the newspaper down, she quickly forgot about it.
That night, Madeline slept for a while. At midnight, she got up right on time.
As expected, it was unterly quiet downstairs; everyone was fast asleep.
She had her brotherâs knockout incense with her. Once lit, it wouldnât just knock out peopleâeven a bull would drop dead asleep.
By now, everyone had been rendered unconscious by the incense.
Madeline sent a text and then sneaked out of the manor, leaving through a small side gate. Outside was a river, and she followed it for a while until she reached the main road.
Gavinâs car was parked by the roadside, its lights off.
Madeline got in the car, looked back at the manor hidden deep within the forest, and fastened her seatbelt. âGavvy, why didnât you guys come to pick me up? I had to figure out a way to escape on my own. Donât you have a good relationship with Harriet?â
She knew what was going on, but she deliberately said. âYou made me stay bored in there for so long. You owe me a lateânight snack. They gave me recovery meals here. They were bland and tasteless.â
Gavin stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward like an arrow He looked relaxed and casual, his hair tousled by the cold wind blowing through the window. His eyes were as deep and dark as the night. âStill thinking about lateânight snacks? Just come home with me. There are plenty of people out there hunting you down.ââ
Madeline said. âSeriously? This is weird. I havenât even done anything. Why do I attract so much hatred?â
Gavin, still gripping the steering wheel, reached for a bottle of milk and tossed it to Madeline. âMonicaâs dead. I bet it was Nolanâs poison. Even a saint couldnât save someone doomed to die young Madeline worded thoughtfully, thinking. So, Nolan has avenged me?
The road was quiet, seemingly on the outskirts, with few people around. Shadowy trees lined both sides of the road.
As the car drove into a bustling area, buildings began to a appear on both sides.
Eventually, they entered a lively night market district, full of bright lights and crowds of people, giving a sense of warmth even in the winter.
Madeline pointed outside. âDidnât you say I was in danger? Why bring me to a place like this!â
Chapter 410 lent I can protect youâ Clarin tosind a parking spot and got out with Madeline You are in danger, but Iâm confident They went to the busiest store in the market âPlease head upstairs. Itâs warmer, weâve got heating,â a waiter said, quickly ushering code to underâ
ring them to a private me on the second floor.â
the Madeline scammed the QR code and started picking dishes on the app Their private room was by the winslow, adorned with twinkling light , offering a view of the street below. A few days ago was Christmas, and the trees along the streets were utili In a few days, those lights would probably be taken slow and replaced with decorations for the upcoming New Year Madeline looked away from the window and ordered a variety of food.
Cain, holding his phone, glanced at her order. âYouâve ordered so much! Can your body handle it You ve taken the medicine Nolan gave you, Madeline replied. âYeah, I was recovering slowly, but after taking the medicine Nolan sent me, I got better in no time. miracle worker.â
The souls of dishes clattering filled the air.
Their food was brought up quickly.
He really ma now Iâm worried youâll love Gavin put on disposable gloves and began peeling shrimp for Madeline. âYouâll benter ask Nolan if you can eat shrug now. an allergic reaction,â
Madeline initially wanted to say it was no problem, but recalling last timeâs serious situation, she sent Nolan a message.
Nolan replied: [Best not to, but if you really want to, itâs fine.]
Madeline chuckled. Most practitioners of traditional medicine are strict about dietary restrictions, but Nolan really doted on her.
The stew was bubbling with its rich red broth, and waves of white steam were rising from it Gavin placed a plate of peeled shrimp in front of Madeline and said, âYour stew is ready. Arenât you going to eat it?â
Madeline had a few bites of salad, feeling refreshed. She then ate some skewers as well. âThanks, Gavvyâ
Gavin clicked his tongue. âYouâre thanking me! Donât be so formal with me. Honestly, you disappearing like that really worried me. I hardly slept for days Through the steam rising from the stew, he gazed at Madeline, who was busy eating, sighed, and said with emotion, âMaddie, what am I supposed to do without you!â
âYou were doing fine before I was around, werenât you?â asked Madeline.
âThat was different. I didnât know what I was missing before you came along. Now that I do, I canât go back to being alone.
Gavinâs voice softened. âMaddie, donât ever leave me again. I canât live without you.â
Madeline burst out laughing and placed a skewer on his plate. âYou should eat more, or Iâll finish everythingâ
They are most of the food on the table.
Then Gavin dragged Madeline to an upscale chib upstairs.
âMr. Newton,â a middleâaged woman greeted them with a smile. âWhat would you like? Would you like to make a selection?
Gavin coughed. âNo need, just me and my sisterâ
Madeline was confused. âWhat selection!â
Gavin put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a private room. âNothing to select. Kids like you donât need to know!â
Madeline pursed her lips. On her way to the bathroom, she saw rows of male and female escorts being led to other private rooms and finally understood.
She remarked, âWell, well, Gavvy, you sure know how to have a good time here.â
