For the
ebru time, Madeline looked straight at Layla. “Without money, I can’t be a good granddaughter or a good daughter.”
After Madeline nished speaking, she leaned back on the chair with her eyes glinting with a playful smile.
Seeing that Madeline dared to act se shumelessly. Lincoln couldn’t help but admire her boldness.
He wasn’t capable of anything so he had been living off his share of the dividends.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he kept a low profile at home and was always cautious,
So he was amazed by his niece. He thought she was so holİ
and frank!
Thomas found himself somewhat starting to admire Madeline,
After all, people risked their lives for money like birds risked their lives for food. People who didn’t care about money were unnatural
Penny sneered. As Sunny’s wife, she worked really hard but didn’t get much money. So she was angry that as soon as Madeline came back, she asked her for an expensive villa
Penny said, “Madeline, the family indeed has some money. If you want money, it’s easy. You need to give something of equal worth, right?”
Madeline said sincerely, feeling that Penny was a gloomy person. “Of course, I agree with you”
She thought, If I couldn’t give them something of equal worth, they wouldn’t have asked me back. If I was worthless, the Larson family would probably aroid me like I’m the symbol of a plague!
Ruch figured out everything now. She was smart How could she not know what Madeline meant!
Madeline didn’t come here to have a meal with them but to provoke them.
Since Madeline had come clean, Ruth thought there was no need to beat around the bush.
Ruth chuckled sullenly and said in a bit frightening and low voice, “I promised your family a ten percent of the dividend every year. I definitely keep my word.
“But you all have to behave and do exactly what I tell you to do”
Layla elenched her fists, a bit t
it tempted
As long as she could get the dividend, she thought being obedient to Ruth didn’t bother her at all.
Once they got the dividend, her family could finally turn the tide.
Layla put on an ingratiating smile. Following Ruth’s orders are the right things to do anyway!
Your
words are commands to us. We won’t dare to defy you!”
Jacob frowned, feeling uneasy
asy with Ruth’s intimidating presence.
He knew very well that everyone had to make sacrifices if he wanted to gain anything
Jacob said, “Mom, you should stop now”
Layla was already swept up in excitement. There was no way she would take Jacob’s advice.

Thomas was silent. He thought, “Following Ruth’s orders? But what if it’s something he doesn’t want to will follow her orders”
Ruth chuckled. “You don’t need to worry. What I’m asking you to do is certainly for the good of the family. It’s always business, not personal matters” Her drooping eyelids showed her shrewitness
She continued, “Madeline, since you want money, you should carefully consider whether to follow my orders in the future.”
Conner looked at Madrime and said. “Madeline, taking your hve brothers”

He laughed. “If I were you, I’d say yes right away. Roth won’t do anything to hurt you
Tiasa forced a sunile, jealousy deep side. “Yes. A ten percent of the dividend is something others dream about?

Madeline just listened to them quietly.
Ruth wasn’t in a hurry. She looked calm, sitting on the chair, like an experienced captain. She silently observed everyone’s expression.
Layla wanted to advise Thomas but seeing that her husband was expressionless, she turned to Joel.
She asked, “Joel, do you agree with me? It’s only right for us to contribute to the family.”
Joel looked away from her. “Madeline refused to come back here so Ruth never talked about the dividends. Now, she suddenly mentions it.
“Do you think my answer really matters? She’s clearly doing it for Madeline.
“She just wants Madeline to be obediem and compliant to her, not us. It’s Madeline’s decision.”
Joel was already annoyed with the current atmosphere. Everyone was clearly very scheming
He didn’t like in
Layla looked a little hesitant. But she smiled warmly at Madeline,
She said. “Madeline, what do you think?
“You know you have a share of that ten percent dividend.
“After all, you’re family too. You’re part of the Larson family
Madeline raised her hand slightly, “I thought it was free. Turns out I have to sell myself to the Larson family?
“Are you waiting to count the money that you guys will make through selling me?”
galittle bit regretful. “If I had known it wasn’t a gift, I wouldn’t have come here. I wasted a lot of gas driving here, you
Madeline stood up, looking a know.
“Yohannes, there’s indeed no free lunch in this world. Let’s go.
Ruth shouted, “Stop! She didn’t expect that Madeline would just leave like that.
Ruth’s face was terrifyingly sullen. She said. “Do you always do whatever you want? Don’t you have to think about your brothers and your parents?”
Madeline paused, looking back at Ruth in confusion. “Why would I care about them?”
Then Madeline strode out decisively.
Ruth slammed her fist on the table and shouted. Thomas, you’d better go and talk some sense into your daughter! How dare she leave here just like that? How dare she disrespect ine?”
Thomas stood up, embarrassed and seared.
Everyone else at the table looked at him and his family, waiting to see them get into trouble with amusement and anticipation
Thomas said nothing a
g and hurriedly walked out
He went out because he wanted to go home, not to convince Madeline of anything.
No one would give up his freedom for his family members who never treated him wel
Madeline heard footsteps from behind her at the door so she turned around. She saw her five brothers and father catching up with her with Layla following behind them.
Madeline
said, “If you’re here to talk me out of it, forget it. I’ve made up my y mind
Yohannes stood between Madeline and them. He frowned, “You’re not disabled. There’s no need to force a girl to sacrifice for you, right?”
Thomas said. “No, I just want to have a word with Madeling.” He was annoyed. He didn’t have any bad intentions but being misunderstood was a list upserting
Henry walked over and looked at Madeline intently, “Madeline”
Harley asked, “M
“Madeline, how are you doing with your studies!”
Jacobs looked at Madeline and said, “Madeline, wer just want to talk with you, nothing more
Jord scratched his head, feeling inn einlurrassed to speak,

Lucas smiled. “Madeline, I heard you got a role in a big–budget drama. Well done.”
They all tried their best to be friendly, worried they might scare Madeline away again.
But Madeline frowned, being disgusted. “I just came here to see how hard your situation was. Don’t try to play up to me. I’m not interested in pretending to have a close family.
Ifv
f you’re so eager for sister, why not sweep Winslet’s tomb more often!
“She would be happy.”
