Chapter 10
However, could she
e not be involved at such a sweet moment!
If she had to be honest, Madeline found it quite annoying.
Winslet was startled. “Maddie, don’t get me wrong. We were looking for you last night. All that matters is that you’re all right. Why didn’t you answer our calls! We were so worried.”
Winslet looked worried as if she was truly concerned.
“Oh‘ Where did you go to look for me? Did you go to bed to find me?”
“Madeline, don’t be so disgusting. Do you think anyone is as shameless as you? Did you spend the night with that man? How shameless!” Benjamin frowned.
Madeline did not bother to explain. “Yes, yes, you’re right.”
“The same goes for you. You’ve changed your clothes. Can you not treat me like a fool!”
Madeline smiled mockingly.
Winslet tugged at her clothes, deliberately revealing some red marks on her neck. “It’s a misunderstanding…
Benjamin defended Winslet. I don’t want to waste my time explaining things to you. Winnie and I are innocent. Who are you to tell us what to do?”
Madeline faked a smile and shrugged. “Of course. Whatever drama you’re trying to put on has nothing to do with me“
Winslet thought Madeline was going to cry. However, her reaction now was somewhat lackluster.
The three of them entered the house together.
Layla was waiting in the living room.
When Winslet came back, Layla immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Winnie. I thought something happened when I realized you were not around this morning.
“Mom-”
e to look for Maddie yesterday. It was too late to
Benjamin interrupted Winslet and said, “Mrs. Larson, it was me who asked Winnie to accompany me to disturb you both, so I didn’t say anything”
Layla instantly glared at Madeline when she heard this. “Can you not cause so much trouble! Your sister is already under a lot of pressure. You made her look for you everywhere all night! You’re really cruel and unscrupulous
Winslet sighed quickly. “Mom, don’t blame Maddie. All that matters is that she’s back
She frowned and hesitated. “I–It’s just that the man who spent the night with Maddie last night… Maddie, maybe you should just tell Mom the truth. Don’t let the man fool you”
“What? Spent the night with a man?” Layla’s face was as dark as charcoal. She thought, “We’re now right in front of Benjamin. Doesn’t that mean she was cheating on someone!”
The Moore family was rich and powerful with assets of more than tens of millions of dollars
Compared to their assets worth millions of dollars, they were nobody.
Not only did Madeline not cherish the engagement, but also caused trouble.
“Isn’t she being a disgrace to this family?” wondered Layla..
Winnie’s reputation was going to be tarnished in the future too
“Madeline, why are you so shameless Can’t you control yourself?”
“Mr. Moore, calm down. I look into this, I guess there was a misunderstanding-
Benjamin raised his hand “Mrs. Larson, I won’t blame the Larson family for this. Madeline did this of her own volton, However, we can accept mach a promiscuous woman into the family, I hope you understand.”
Chapter 10
Layla’s heart skipped a beat as she instantly felt upset that she was about to lose such a brilliant son–in–law. The ache she felt was indescribable.
‘Mr. Moure
1 only have two conditions. Firstly, cancel the engagement. Secondly…”
Benjamin looked at Madeline and said, “You cheated first. When you break off the engagement, I want you to apologize to the Moore family in public and admit that you’ve behaved indecently. This way, others won’t think it’s our fault.”
Madeline sucered.
She thought, “Admit that 1 behaved indecently? My reputation will be ruined.”
She looked at Benjamin as she thought, “He’s the one who behaved indecently. How dare he…
“Mr. Moore, you’re really… more strict with others.”
Benjamin was indifferent. After last night, he knew exactly what he wanted.
Madeline used to be obedient to him, which was indeed great. Besides, his family was more satisfied with Madeline’s status as the Larson family’s biological daughter.
It was why they agreed to the arranged marriage.
Besides, Benjamin had to admit that Madeline was indeed good–looking and smarter.
He could make do with her in the past, but Madeline was no longer pure. He was not going to accept someone like her.
Benjamin was disgusted.
“You must agree.”
Layla also knew how serious it was
Winslet frowned. “Benjamin, you can’t do this. What about Maddie’s reputation? She really shouldn’t have fooled around, but she must have done that because she wasn’t thinking straight.”
Benjamin said, “There’s no way I’ll change my mind.”
After saying that, Benjamin left the Larson residence.
Layla looked at Madeline and was disgusted.
“Can’t you be like Winslet? Look at you. You’re already so shameless at such a young age!”
Madeline snorted. “Be like her? Should I spend the night with my brother–in–law and wear his clothes too!”
Madeline ignored them and went upstairs to catch some sleep.
Layla did not think there was anything wrong with Winslet.
“Something must have happened, causing Winnie to do this! After all, Winnie has always been pure and noble. She has been obedient since childhood, so she’s naturally different from a country bumpkin like Madeline pondered Layla
“Mom, let me explain. It rained last night. So my clothes got dirty.”
“Winnie, I believe you. It’s just that there’s nothing we can do about your sister. After she signs the contract and gives you her spot, we’ll send her back to the countryside lest she embarrasses the Larson family again.”
Winslet pretended to be stuck in a dilemma. “Huh? Mom, isn’t that a bad idea? Won’t she be spending her entire life in the coun
countrys
side
“No, Fin just worried she’ll make trouble constantly. Once your issues are sorted and your marriage is confirmed, she can come back.” Layla hal always wanted the best for Winslet.
She could not tolerate the idea of Madeline ruining Winslet’s future.
How could a biological child match sip to someone who Layla had raised on her own!
