My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

Meanwhile, at the Larson residence, Thomas sat on the couch with his five sons around him.

There was a pile of fancy gifts on the coffee table.

Winslet sat in the middle of them, wearing a new branded dress like a little princess.

She enjoyed being the center of everyone's attention and admiration.

"Are all these gifts to celebrate my going to school or my discharge from the hospital?"

Lucas replied, "Of course, it's for both occasions, Winnie. Didn't you notice each of us gave you two gifts? You're our baby sister, so we can't be stingy with you."

Winslet smiled sweetly. "You're the best, Lucas"

"You're showing favoritism, Winnie: Joel's lips curved slightly. Take a guess. If you get it wrong, we'll be really unhappy"

The eldest brother, Harley, looked dotingly at Winslet. "If you get it wrong, we'll take back the gifts

Thomas laughed. "You're all grown adults. Why are you all picking on Winne

Winslet clung to Thomas and wrinkled her nose defiantly. "Humph, no way am I guessing that. I want all of them! Otherwise, I'll tell Dad!"

Everyone roared with laughter.

The atmosphere within the family was joyful

Just then, Layla came back

As soon as she entered the house, the smiles of those in the room instantly faded.

"Well, I finally managed to bring this young lady back. She doesn't treat us as a family at all. You have no idea how harsh her words were just now." Layla proceeded to sit on the couch and sip some coffee. "Luckily, Benjamin was with me. Otherwise don't think I'll be able to bring her back."

Benjamin dragged Madeline forcefully and felt sorry for treating her that way. "If Madeline came back with us willingly. things wouldn't have gone out of hand."

Madeline shook off his hand and spat, "Let me go."

Winslet then chimed in hypocritically, "Maddie, you can't blame them. You were too reckless. Mom and Dad had been worried sick and had not had a proper meal since. You should have come home earlier. You're not even answering our calls and messages. We were concerned about you."

Winslet shifted to the side as she spoke to give a space on the couch. "Don't just stand there, Maddie, Come and sit with me. Our brothers gave me a lot of gifts. You can pick whatever you

Lucas frowned. "If she dares to take what I gave you, I'll break her hands.

"Ha." Joel smiled. "I'd rather you throw my gifts away than give them to her."

The other three brothers remained silent.

Thomas waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's enough. Our family rarely gets together. Today is to celebrate Winnie.

Let's not be hostile to one another."

Thomas added, "Maddie, I know you're reluctant to do it. But you owe Winnie this time. I won't comment on what happened in the past, but you really hurt Winnie this time. You should be grateful she didn't press charges against you" Thomas sighed. Just take it as compensation for Winnie."

Madeline felt sick and nauseous when she heard this.

She balled her hands into a fist by her side as she shook with anger.

This is so unfair. It was clearly a plot devised by Winslet, I can't believe she could easily manipulate my parents and brothers' trust. Perhaps they are already biased toward Winslet. My existence is just a joke to them. There's no doubt that if both of us were in danger, they would choose to save Winslet without giving me a second thought," Madeline thought miserably.

One of the helpers standing by the side whispered, "Ms. Madeline Larson, you are too stubborn. Back in my days, a daughter like you would have been kicked out of the house. You're lucky Mr. Thomas Larson and Mrs. Larson are generous enough to overlook your misbehavior."

"It's none of your business, Madeline uttered.

She glanced around and found that Anne, the only one who was friendly to her at home, was not there. "Where is Anne?"

A trace of arrogance flashed in Winslet's eyes. "Oh, Anne! She's so mentally confused that she stole my necklace worth 36.000 dollars, so she's in prison now. I know you and Anne are quite close, Maddie. You're still young; it's normal see through her."

you can't

Madeline glared ferociously at Winslet.

She knew exactly what kind of person Anne was.

Anne had been faithfully working for the Larson family for the past 15 years. Thus, Madeline did not find it hard to believe that Winslet would frame Anne.

Anne's kindness to Madeline had, in turn, become the former's downfall. "Winslet, you really are something."

"Maddie, why did you say that? You can't be thinking that I framed Anne, do you? Why would I do such a thing? Your prejudice against me is too deep, Maddie. I'm not sure how to get along with you anymore. Maybe it's best if I leave... Winslet responded as if she was being wronged.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Layla could not stand it anymore and bellowed, "Enough! Anne brought it upon herself for being dishonest. She has a poor character. How can you blame Winnie for this? Are you out of your mind?"

Benjamin observed Madeline with disappointment in his eyes. Your jealousy is so horrible. Is it really that difficult for you. to accept that some people are better than you? Why do you always think so poorly of others? You weren't like this in the past. How could you change so terribly?" Benjamin continued to look at Madeline.

Even though Madeline was dressed plainly, she still looked very beautiful, like a pearl covered with dust but could still shine through. It made people almost unable to move their eyes away

"Stay home for a year and think about what you did. Then you will still have a second chance."

Stay home for a year? You mean to lock me up for a year, right? Madeline looked at Benjamin calmly,

She despised the blood that was flowing through her body.

Madeline merely curved her lip. "I won't do what you want. After faking for so long, you've finally gotten your way, haven't you, Winslet?"

Madeline went straight upstairs after saying that.

Winslet put up an innocent facade once more. "Mom, Dad, I told you I'm giving up the spot. Now Maddie must hate me so much. And it's too late to change. I have already registered... What should we do now?"

"It's okay. You deserve it. Don't worry about it. Madeline owes you one," Layla comforted. "She almost killed you. It's just a spot in the school. It's not a big deal."

The other family members also agreed with Layla's words.

Winslet pretended to be comforted by them and acted as if she felt more relieved.

In reality, she had already decided in her heart to get into the school no matter what.

Madeline sat alone in the room with her arms wrapped around her knees. She was staring at the depressing high-rise building outside her window.

She finally made up her mind.

She was going to cut ties with the Larson family.

"I can't change the fact that I'm related to them by blood. But I can change it legally," she thought.

Since yo

you have backed me into a corner, I don't have to show mercy either. You forced me to this extent."

Madeline took out her phone, and her eyes were full of tears. She calmly dialed the number she had memorized by heart.
