The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 318 Madeline donât know when Jonny and her got back that night Laily is the morning, she went out to bay some fruits and returned to the hoid Gavin lud catrii too muu somach huming too much seafood and was feeling go out and In the morning, he lay on the bed with a pale face, complaining that his enteritis had flared up. He groaned and felt dmway, unable to go ying the fruit back, she was stopped by hene at the elevator Just Madeline was carrying Madeline couldnât help but raise her eyebrows. âForgot your room key?â
âOf course not.â Ireneâs expression had completely changed from last night, and her tone was a lat sharp Earlier, she had acted patiful in front of Jammy, but as the daughter of a ruthless ang lord, she wasnât naturally gentle or kind.
She only pretense because she cared for finuny.
âI need to talk to you. Come to my ron sakd Irene.
âSorry, Iâns not available right now. Garyyâs feeling unwell, and I need to help him take his medicine. If itâs not urgent, can it wait ten Madeline Irene frowned. âNo, now means now. Heâs a grown man; canât be take his medicine at his own! Does he need you to feed him?â
Madeline paused, noting Ireneâs pressing attitude, and said, âIf itâs that urgent, you can tell me here?
She knew that given Gavinâs temperament, if she went back to the rooms to drop off the fruits, heâd probably pester her for a while Irene said before walking ahead.
âI donât like discussing things in public. Letâs go he can take his medicine later. Itâs no bag dealâ
Madeline was a bit annoyed but followed her anyway.
Once inside the room, Irene flopped onto the hotel sofa and shook the pile of receipts on the table. âSo, for this trip. Jimmyâs been paying for everything?â
She counted the receipts and let out a few cold laughs. It seemed to her that Madelin and Gavin were just treating Jimny like an ATM. As his girlfriend, she wasnât happy to see this happening.
Irene said, âI tallied it up. Itâs a total of 10 thousand dollars. Even if you split it equally, you and your friend still owe thousand dollarsâ
Madeline glanced at the receipts. Ten thousand was nothing to them. She hadnât expected Irene to get so worked up over money.
She replied, âAlright. Jimmy has indeed spent time with us on this trip. Iâll transfer the full ten thousand dollars to himâ
âWait, just transfer it to me. Donât let him know about thisâ Irene immediately provided Madeline with her bank account details, Tve already spent a lot on him too, so donât think Iâm taking advantage. Itâs just that weâre at the age where marriage is on the horizon, and my dad expects a large dowry. Itâs been hard for Jimmy to save money. You will get married sooner or later too, so you must understand how important it is to be mindful of your manâs money, Madeline said nothing, pursing her lips as she transferred the 10 thousand dollars to Irene. Then, putting away her phone, she said, âIâll head back now. I need to check on Gavyy.â
âWeâre not done yet. Since youâve been so straightforward, Iâll cut to the chase,â Irene crossed her legs and leaned back leisurely in her chair. âI come from a distinguished family. Once Jimmy and I are married, you wonât be in the same league as us anymore.
Honestly, you should keep your divance.
Tcan tell he treats you well and even differently, but thatâs just because heâs generous and boyal. Youâd better not mistake that for anything more âYou two should head back soon and stop wasting his time. Heâs a busy man, always running around to gain my fatherâs approval. Heâs hardly sleeping well. The fact that youâre using up his time really annoys melâ
cover your flight back tonight.â
Irene made her stance clear, not hiding the hostility in her expression. âIf you have any sense, I can even cover She crossed her arms with a faint, smug smile as she thought, Once those two tagalongs leave, James and I can enjoy our trip together. Just the two of as he wonât be able to resist my charm, Madeline vaid, âWe wonât be leaving anyume soon, and weâre not short Jimmy wants to leave with you, heâs free to goâ
on money, so you can keep your flight offer. Weâre here for a vacation. It She straightened up and added, âHegarding your plans for us, Ms. Meyer, I think youâre o fre overstepping a bit. Do you live by the seat âWhatâs that supposed to incap? Irene frowned. Though thanks to her Clusian stor, she was as fluent in the language as a native, she hadnât Chapter 318 raught the idiom about living by the sea. âMy family does own a villa by the sea, not that itâs any of your business.â
âOh, it means youâre minding everyoneâs business,â Madeline kindly explained.
She thought, I am not bothered by the money, but Irene is being too rude. She is pretty, and she can certainly act cute, but she turns out to be so arregant and behind Jimmyâs back.
âYou dare insult me?â Irene shot up, furious. Do you really think I wonât tell Jimmy that his âpoor relativeâ behaves like this?â
âGo ahead. I donât care. Itâs not like Iâm the one living with him. Why should I care how he sees me?â With that, Madeline turned and walked out. Irene was left in the room, stomping her feet in anger.
As a drug lordâs daughter, everyone back home treated her like royalty. They admired her, spoiled her, and practically worshipped her.
She complained to herself. No one has ever dared to speak to me like that, and no one ever will. This woman is so full of herself She barked. âDamn it, sheâs definitely interested in Jimmy. Greedy woman! One boyfriend isnât enough for herâsheâs got her sights set on my Jimmy too.
She thought to herself. This woman must stay around just to be close to Jimmy. I wonât let her have her way. Competing with me for a man? Clearly, she has no idea who she is dealing with!
Meanwhile, Gavin lay in bed, rubbing his stomach and sipping hot water, propped up by soft pillows When Madeline returned, he turned to her, noticing her sour expression. What happened, sweetheart? Are you you? I am sorry. I promise I be fine soon, and tomorrow we can go scuba diving, okay?â
unhappy that I didnât go out with âNo, itâs not that Madeline gathered herself. âWhy do you always overthink things? I was just lost in thought. Donât underestimate me, Iâm not a penly person She set the fruits and medicine aside, fetched him some warm w on the island?â
water, and mixed his medicine. With your stomach like this, what did you use to cat Food, of course. Bread. With enough money. I could have a feast every day Gavin glanced at Madeline and continued. You really arenât upset? You looked a little angry earlier.â
Madeline e smiled, but she didnât plan on telling him about her conversation with Irene. After all, it would only make things awkward for Jimmy Now that she knew what kind of person Irene was, sheâd just keep her distance from now on So she just said. âYouâre overthinking it.â
