The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Chapter 208

1 was just a bit unfeeling.

Madeline used to think Ruth was

She now understood that Ruth had an excessive desire for control over everything.

Madeline found it hard to believe. It sounded like Thomas was once a remarkable person.

However, in Madeline’s eyes, Thomas was someone who wouldn’t stop at anything to get power

Eugene noticed Madeline’s confusion and said with a smile. “You’re probably wondering why your dad is so excellent yet such a letdown, right?

“Ugh. I really don’t like him, but to be honest, the Larson family has done a lot to keep him in check.

“Mrs. Larson sure holds grudges, she’s been giving him trouble for year.”

After saying those words, Eugene quickly added. “But honestly, how is he any different from Mrs. Larson when he ignores and mistreats you for power!

“He pushed his own daughter to the edge just to pamper a foster daughter. Someone like him definitely deserves what he gets,”

Madeline, of course, was all too aware of this

She nodded and said. Tm just surprised. I don’t feel sorry for him at all.

“Honestly, I think I’m the one who’s really pitiable.

“I should really start taking better care of myself.”

As for the feud between Thomas and the Larson family. Madeline would just treat it as some interesting gossip she had picked up.

Eugene nodded with approval saying. “That’s the right attitude. Feeling sorry for people like Thomas will only bring you bad luck all your life.”

The convoy soon arrived at the Larson residence.

Madeline followed Sharon inside.

Sharon appeared a bit uneasy as she said to Madeline, “Mr. Larson has ne

However, whether she could do it depended on whether Ruth was worth respecting

Sharon thought to herself that it was best to avoid a conflict between Madeline and fouth; she needed to be the peacemaker.

Otherwise, Sharon might offend Eugene

That would only make her more miserable.

Sharon asked, “Would you like some coffee?”

Madeline shook her head and said, “No thanks, I doubt the Larson family is that welcoming

Sharon was aware of the situation and once in the hall, she prepared to have a chat with Ruth,

Yet, the living room was empty, not a soul was there.

Only a housemaid was present, cleaning the table.

Sharon asked, “Laura, where is Mrs. Lanion?”

Laura glanced at the people behind Sharon and ignored them directly.

Laura said to Sharon, “Mrs. Larson is already napping. She had lunch and is resting“

Sharon was a bit surprised. It was only 11:30 am, and Ruth had already raten lunch and gone for a nap. How could that bet

Sharon wasn’t clueless. It was clear that Ruth was deliberately being difficult.

“Is there any lunch left?” asked Sharon.

Laura replied with a sigh, “No, we didn’t get much at the store today. All that’s left are leftovers, and we’ve already thrown those out with the food

11.02 AM

“In the kichen, there’s only the food for the staff, not exactly suitable for you.”

Sharon thought Kuth must have gone senile.

Ruth was always like this, arrogant and old–fashioned, never bothering to change or adapt her views.

Believing the Larson family to be prestigious, Ruth acted freely, disregarding the potential consequences.

But had always looked down on Madeline and her family.

Ruth thought of Madeline as insignificant, incapable of causing any trouble, just wanting to give Madeline a hard time

At the Larson residence. Sharon didn’t have a high status. Her past actions had already lost her favor with Ruth, and now she couldn’t persuade Huth at all.

Sharon said. “Why don’t you take your seats! Once Mr. Larson wakes up, she’ll come and meet you.”

To reassure Madeline and Eugene, Sharon gently explained, “Mrs. Larson doesn’t have as much energy these days and usually takes an afternoon nap to recharge.

“If you have some time, I can show you around.

“Madeline, you’ve never been here before, have you? It’s good to get familiar with this place

Sharon clearly remembered the first time she met Madeline.

New, Sharon had to respect Madeline.

If Madeline wasn’t happy, Eugene would be upset, too

In that case, Sharon would be in trouble.

Laura was a bit confused by Sharon’s attitude.

Laura thought, “Ms. Larson should adjust her attitudes based on the different people she encounters.

Why does she take Madeline so seriously?”

At this time, Vanessa suddenly said. “Aunt Sharon, are you really planning to show her around? Have you forgotten her family was kicked out long

“If you treat her like family, aren’t you ignoring what Grandma decided back then?”

Vanessa came downstairs in her beige loungewear,

She just got up

The Lanon family adored Vanessa, so she didn’t have to work hard.

Vanessa did whatever she wanted at home, sleeping in as much as she liked.

Vanessa turned to Laura and asked, “Laura, I’m starving. Where’s the mushroom soup you made for me?

“I got hit yesterday, so I need to eat something nourishing and recover

Laura, feeling sorry for Vanessa, immediately went to get the mushroom soup and brunch.

The table was set with plenty of fo

However, Laura just told Sharon that there was no food left

Madeline smirked. “Since Mrs. Larson’s trying to boss me around, I might as well leave

If she was not happy, she just left.

She didn’t have to hesitate.

Vanessa shouted behind. “Stop!”

Vanessa put down her utensils and said, “Why are you in such a rush to leave? Don’t you want to meet Mrs. Larson?”

Vanessa was puzzled, thinking Madeline was just playing hard to get

Ruth was the most important person in the family.

Vanessa couldn’t understand why someone like Madeline, who was eager to gain favor, would pass up such a golden opportunity.

Vanessa thought. If Madeline wasn’t interested in wealth and power, why did she come here today?”

Vanessa thought it over and looked at Eugene with frustration, feeling very unlucky.

Why did every man Vanessa liked support Madeline?

What exactly was so good about Madeline?

Vanessa was really unwilling to accept the fact and couldn’t figure it out.

Madeline asked, “Why do I have to meet Mrs. Larson? It was she who wanted to see me, and now she’s not here. Is she forgetful, or did she never plan to meet nie at all!”

Madeline had no desire to connect with the powerful Larson family.

She had come out of a little curiosity,

1. v. but now the

now there was nothing left to be curious about.

Madeline had figured out what kind of person Ruth was.

Eugene scoffed, “The Larson family really has the audacity to put on a show,”

Without a wise leader, the Larson family was fading away,

Ruth refused to let go of power, and marriage alliances were just a temporary fix.

On the outside, the Larson family looked prosperous, but it was already falling apart inside.

Eugene didn’t think much of the Larson family.

Eugene said, Today you ignore Madeline, but soon, you won’t even have a chance to see her.

Laura’s face hardened, and she said, “Sir, I don’t know who you are, but you’re quite young to be speaking so boldly”
