Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Madeline waited in the room.

The only thing left in the room about her was an hourglass.

She turned the hourglass and lay on the table, looking at the sand flowing down bit by bit.

“Madeline.” Thomas came in from outside.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned around.

“Did they finally agree?” she thought to herself.

She knew that there would always be a way to convince them with Winslet around.

Just sign it now.” Thomas told her. “You can disown the Larson family. And we’ll go to a lawyer to change our will tomorrow He continued to say, “If you have any other ideas, feel free to bring them up. After all, I still see you as my daughter.”

Madeline looked at her father’s face with a hint of self–mockery in her eyes. “I have nothing to ask for anymore,” “This feels good.”

she said.

Madeline lay on the table, her ink–black long hair cascading over her shoulders. She slightly turned her face, appearing to have a fair and lovely complexioni.

There was no hint of light in her eyes.

Behind her was the pitch–black night, and she was wearing cheap clothes.

Thomas suddenly felt guilty. “Maddie, after following your wishes tomorrow, we’ll take you to buy some clothes,” he said. “During the year you are going to the countryside, you will be given enough living expenses. As for the 20,000 dollars, I will still give it to you.”

He added, “After all, you still need money to live with your grandparents.”

Madeline answered faintly and closed her eyes, feeling a little tired.

“I’ll sign the contract when you change your will. Take the contract with you tomorrow, Thomas offered.

Upon seeing that there would be no change anymore, Thomas didn’t hurry to force her to sign.

The door was closed.

Layla also told the family that Madeline was going to leave them The family was sitting in the living room downstairs.

Winslet was in a good mood as Madeline, who she found annoying, was finally leaving. The former was so happy.

Every time she saw Madeline, it made her feel uneasy.

She wished Madeline could be driven away immediately.

As long as Madeline left, she would be the only little princess in her family. She didn’t need to be afraid that someone would take away her love anymore.

1/4 19:02 Thu, Sep 12 M Chapter 39 Harley used to be gentle, but ever since witnessing Winslet in a pool of blood last time, things had changed.

He was completely disappointed with Madeline.

Π “It’s good for her to disown us. I can even provide her with monthly living expenses in the future. She shouldn’t come back anymore,” he said. “Her existence is not good for anyone.”

Harley looked gentle and elegant, and it was the first time he had said such heavy words.

Henry was a little surprised even though he was on Winslet’s side But, at least, he still remembered the time when Madeline had brought him back.

Moreover, as a young girl, she had gone to appointments late at night and faced so many rich and spoiled brats alone.

Henry couldn’t be merciless.

“I think this matter needs to be considered carefully. After all, Madeline is one of the Larson family. Are we just going to abandon her?” he suggested. Disagreement was evident in the depth of Henry’s eyes. “Dad, think about it carefully.”

“It’s not that your father wants to drive her away; it’s that she wants to disown us herself,” Layla frowned. “You don’t even know–

right after she was denied for the moving–out plan, she even bullied Winnie. She added, “She said that if she couldn’t move out, she would drag Winnie to hell!”

She continued by saying, “It’s so scary!”

Winslet also nodded. Who knew what Madeline would do if she was cornered?

Now that Madeline was obviously at rock bottom, Winslet didn’t dare to confront her directly. “What if she actually went crazy?”

Winslet thought to herself.

Henry wanted to say something but stopped. Then, he lowered his eyes, annoyed.

Jacob gave a faint smile, his clear and elegant face showing indifference. “If she wants to move out, then let’s respect her decision,” he said. “She’s already 18, and we no longer have an obligation toward her. She’s an adult, and whatever actions she takes, she needs to take responsibility for them.”

Henry said, “But, Jacob, in your eyes, Winnie will always be a young girl who needs to be taken care of”

“Henry, how can you compare Maddie with Winnie? You’re confused.” Joel frowned and sneered. “In addition to Jacob, I also feel the same way.” He continued to say, “Madeline is already 18 years old. Who did she expect to keep protecting her?”

Lucas sighed. “It’s better that she’s leaving. I hope she can turn over a new leaf in the future,” he voiced out. “She’s a girl from the countryside; coming here probably clouded her judgment with jealousy. Once she goes back, she’ll find her rightful place.”

“Who knows, maybe she’ll rediscover kindness,” he mused.

Joel suddenly tutted. “Lucas, you’re not usually this polite, are you? Honestly, you used to scold Madeline the most fiercely.” he remarked.

Lucas waved his hand and didn’t want to say anything more.

He just found that Madeline’s voice was so similar to Lynn’s.

was a girl who had taken him out of underestimation He didn’t want to say anything too harsh to someone similar.

Mainly because, in the end, she was leaving anyway.

19:02 Thu, Sep 12 M.

Chapter 39 There was no need to say anything more.

As a a family, no one tried to persuade Madeline to stay-

It was as if she had been a redundant person.

Henry went upstairs and wandered around the staircase.

He was not an easygoing person. He was also quite stubborn and spoiled.

נד Feeling annoyed, he took out a cigarese from his pocket and lit it. Leaning against the stair railing, he rested his hands there, lost in thought.

The lights were off.

Madeline went out and saw a little light in the stairwell The air was filled with the smell of smoke.

She looked faint.

“Madeline. Henry pinched off the cigarette in his hand and fanned it. “Have you thought about it clearly?

“Yes” Madeline nodded. “I’m superfluous here.”

Henry’s heart skipped a beat.

His throat rolled as he spoke. “Actually, we don’t dislike you that much. We were also looking forward to your return before, He added, “It was just that your attitude toward Winnie was just too bad.”

Henry tried to say something more. “You know, we’ve had 18 years “I know,” Madeline interrupted him. “Eighteen years. You’ve been together all day long and watched her grow up and loved her so much. If it were me, I might not be able to achieve complete justice.”

She finally spoke what was on her mind. “But... You all are so unfair to me.”

Madeline mocked herself in a low voice, and in the dark, no one could see the That was her last moment of weakness.

She knew.

Starting tomorrow, the Larson family would no longer have her as a daughter.

e tears in her eyes.

“After tomorrow, I will be as if I never existed,” she said. “You think I was raised by my grandparents, but that’s not true. I grew up in an orphanage.

Lo Arep adness in 1 Madeline sighed, a smile on her lips, but there was eyes.

She continued to say, “The only thing the Larson familly have done wrong to me is...”

Henry fixed his eyes on her.

The little girl was too petite and slender.

Henry suddenly remembered that she was only 18.

She had been away from her parents since she was a child.

19:02 Thu, Sep 12 M.

Chapter 39 He waited for her next sentence.

At that moment, the sound–controlled light was turned on.

Madeline’s eyes turned red as she said with a fragile smile, “You shouldn’t have given me hope.”

After saying that, Madeline turned around and entered her room.

Henry felt a little depressed.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that maybe Madeline moving our was just an omen.

She might never go back to the Larson family again.

He didn’t think he would have thought about losing his sister at all.

But... He was a little confused, and he couldn’t figure out why.”

She was not a little flower or grass that could be trampled on by people.

She was his sister, made of flesh and blood, who expected their love and care.

Henry couldn’t sleep all night.

He found that he had never known Madeline before. Before leaving, he wanted to give her something but didn’t know what she liked.

After thinking about it, he realized her clothes never exceeded 20 dollars.

Her shoes had been washed to a pale color, yet they were still the same pair of cheap white shoes bought for a little over 4 dollars on the roadside.

Henry suddenly got up and threw the pillow to the ground. “She. She is also my sister!”
