My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

"No! Mom, Dad, help me. Harley... Winslet asked for help in a panie, thinking of escaping.

Yer, soon enough, two bodyguards seized her by the arms.

She was pressed in place as she looked around with an imploring visage.

The guests could not muster

muster the courage to linger their gazes on the scene anymore.

As their eyes met hers, they took a step back silently.

Some people even sneaked out of another emergency exit for fear of being implicated.

Everyone chose the prudent course.

Besides, they all hated the Larson family for their viciousness. None of them would ever step forward to speak up for Winslet.

"What happened at the enrollment celebration banquet was never our intention, so you can't do this!"

Winslet was put under control. She looked at Caleb in fear. "Let me go this time. I won't do it again... I'll forever be in your debt, and I'll turn over a new leaf.... Hanging her head low, she was in a flood of tears

Only when she was helpless and alone did she learn what it was like to be disappointed.

"Why's no one speaking up for me? Why's this world so harsh to me?" was her thought.

Caleb looked up, his eyes shining with menacing frostiness.

"This is the epitome of digging your own grace." Madeline curled her lips upward into a smirk. "Your time is up so soon,

Initially, she wanted to simply let Winslet stay smug for a while.

Never would she anticipate Winslet to screw herself up that quickly.

huh.

It was then that someone handed Madeline a piece of red-colored gift list with both hands. "Ms. Larson, this is the gift list."

Madeline grabbed it casually, but she did not even lay her eye on it "Mm."

On the sidelines, Winslet stared at the gift list with tears in her eyes.

Alina was standing right in front of her, looking all high and mighty, seemingly the center of everyone's attention and admiration. On the contrary, she herself was nothing more than a pitiful laughing stock. She thought the gift list was hers.

Nothing could describe the devastation within her.

Jealousy swelled in her chest on that note.

"Why's Alina blessed with such luck? Why am I not granted the same?" she mused.

Winslet said through gritted teeth, "I haven't done any substantial impact on you, and you guys have already taken it to this extent... Must you really drive me into a corner? Don't you know this is illegal?"

Holding the gift list, Madeline uttered placidly. "Once you touched something that shouldn't have been yours, you'll have to pay driving you into a corner..." It was as if she had just heard a joke, "You're weak, so you'll have to endure the pain"

-

Immediately afterward, she cracked a sneer. "Haven't you picked on others before when you were in power?"

Winslet froze, looking at Madeline in disbelief.

"What What's the implying?" she asked herself.

Comprehension suddenly dawned upon her.

"You! You'er Madelue"

the price. As for

Terror assailed Winslet's heart.

Indeed. Madeline

was the one she had picked on in the past.NôvelDrama.Org content.

By leveraging her power, she snatched away Madeline's spot to study.

Madeline namowed her eyes. "It seems that the last lesson wasn't enough for you?

Winder shuddered at that "No, you... you're Alina...

Tears welled up in her eyes once more.

She could only feel even more tormenting inside.

Never in a million years would she foresee herself being pushed to that point.

Even if she suspected that the person right before her eyes was Madeline, she had not the gall to point it out.

Should she let that slip out of her mouth, she would have to face an even grimmer consequence.

What was even more horrifying was that if Alina was truly Madeline in disguise, the latter would surely exact revenge on her.

In the presence of the Glorious Group, Caleb, and Nolan, Winslet could not defend herself.

All she could do was stay like a little ant, be manipulated, and put under their mercy.

Winslet instantly felt as though all her will to fight had been taken away.

Her legs turned feeble right away. She would have fallen to the ground if she had not been in someone's grasp.

"I-I know it already... she cooed.

"Since you know it, you'll bear with it," Madeline jeered at her.

After saying that, Madeline turned around and boarded the elevator.

Both of the big shots, Nolan and Caleb, followed her by her sides.

Madeline pressed the button to the seventh floor.

The elevator doors closed slowly.

Raising her chin, Madeline could hear a shrill scream right before the door shut.

The scary banquet on the second floor was then blocked out of view by the elevator doors. No longer

ger was Madeline in sight of it

The number on the elevator's display panel continued to change.

Ding!

They arrived on the seventh floor.

Furnished with luxurious decorations, the spacious hall was set with 300 tables. A parade of people had already taken their seats.

The place was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, which allowed bright light to shine through from all sides..

Standing there, one could feast their eyes on the picturesque landscape of the gardens and lakes below.

Among the crowd, however, there were people trembling involuntarily when messages from the rest still on the second floor reached their phones.

Upon catching sight of Madeline and her group, they hurriedly put away their phones.

The tormenting vibe pervading the air on the second floor was poles apart from the peaceful atmosphere on the seventh floor.

A short escaped Caleb. "To think that the Larson family would court death themselves before I even go after them"

"I still think we've spared them too easily. Nolan's tone was soft. While he paused briefly, there was a trace of mischief in his eyes "Then again, I guess it's okay if we take our time to torture them."

10:54 AM

Observing her brothers, Madeline secretly remarked, "Oh, well! The Larson family will never have peace from here on out"

Of course, she would not sympathize with a family of that ilk.

"By the way, therell be a University Opening Ceremony when school starts tomorrow." Madeline grinned and picked up her phone to show them the message on the screen. I can bring my family members with me." Nolan and Caleb exchanged gazes.

Madeline could sense the tension in the air.

"I can even bring two family members," she blurted out in a hurry.

Only then did those two brothers of hers feel satisfied.

Willow and Brunswick came over for a chat.

With that, the banquet continued as usual.

Back on the second floor. Thomas appeared as if he had aged so much in a day.

Carrying Winslet on his back, Joel called the ambulance frantically.

Harley and Jacob both stayed by their sister's side.

Winslet leaned on Joel's shoulder and uttered in a weak voice, "That woman... is Madeline."

After she revealed that, she was in so much pain that no longer could she make a sound.

"Winnie, do o you mean... Harley frowned. "Madeline, the CEO of Glorious Group?"

Jacob was not quite convinced. "I don't think so! If that person truly is Madeline, she wouldn't have given up the spot for getting into Acocester University. She also wouldn't have this immense power and background."

All of a sudden, Harley commented, "Alina's also studying at Acocester University. I'm a professor at the university, so I'll know when I go and check it out. If she really is Madeline, it'll be near impossible that she has no flaw As they spoke, they rushed outside

Layla sat on a stool and covered her face. Everyone here had almost left the place.

She sobbed and wiped her tears off, feeling exhausted.

Joshua and Regina darted over, only to see their son spacing out in a pale face.

The only thing Benjamin did was sit on the ground, not a peep out of him.

Regina was anxious and angry at the same time. "What's wrong with you, Benjamin? I heard that you offended that bigwig again because of the Larson family. How could you be so careless?"

"Let's not

's not blame him right now Joshua knitted his brows and added in a serious tone, "Be honest, Ben, how are you feeling!"

Benjamin's eyes moved as he stared blankly at his parents.

At that juncture, Nolan's words echoed in his ears-"You idiot! You'll suffer indefinitely as you take this secret to your grave."

Benjamin's mien darkened further, and his lips twitched.

His heart seemed to be clenched by a gigantic hand, and his lungs were as if they were flattened in an instant till the air in them was sucked dry

Alas, Regina's patience ran thin. "Speak!"
