Winslet felt a sharp pang in her heart as she watched her parents eagerly wait for Madeline’s return. Mie thought, ‘Did my pairs truly see Madeline as more worthy than me?
parents discussing plans for tomorrow. She was determined not in sit idle. Slar would arrtainly make every effort in fight for the marriage with Nick Horton
She watched her
“Mr. Larson, Mi, Larson is here, the servant came to inform
Sharon emerged from the evening twilight. Wearing a black dress, she still radiated charm with her cascading wavy curls even at the age
She had sleek eyebrows, charming eyes, a sharp nose, and rosy lips. She wasn’t wearing any designer labels, just a simple grinatute pealant on her neck. However, her elegance and grace made her identity unmistakable. Sharon remained unmarried, and this she was still known as Mc Laren,
“Thomas, it’s been so long greeted Sharon
Thomas quickly stood up with a warm smile to greet her, “Sharon, you’ve arrived in Acocester without letting us know. We could’ve had the driver. pick you up. Have you had dinner yet? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner right away
“No need” Sharon waved her hand. I’m just here to see my niece,”
Thomas and Layla were very polite. After all, even though Sharon was a woman, Ruth valued her a lot. Aside from business matters, her with almost everything, which gave her significant power.
Ruth entrusted
Sharon sat down on the sofa, casually taking in the state of Thomas’s house. She had heard that his family had been relocated to Accester and had struggled financially. It seemed true from what she saw, “If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me.”
“Oh, everything’s fine, Layla said, asking someone to bring coffee and personally pouring Sharon a cup
up of coffee. “Sharon, have a cup of coffee. Layla didn’t take Sharon’s polite remarks to heart. She harbored resentment. Ever since the Larson family had exiled them to Acorester, no one harl cared if they lived or died. It had been over a decade, and she wasn’t going to maively believe such insincere words now.
Layla held Winsler’s hand and said, “Sharon, this is my eldest daughter, Winslet. Some time ago, Winnie had a minor car accident and got a slight injury on her leg, but she’ll be fully recovered in a month or two Layla smiled warmly, looking very kind. “Winnie, won’t you greet your aunt?”
Sharon was unaware of the situation regarding the true or false daughters over here. She nodded slightly at Winslet and said simply, “Hi, Winnie” “Aunt Sharon, Eve heard Mom and Dad say how beautiful you are. I see it’s true today, Winslet, with her knack for sweet–talking, was great at flattering people.
In just a little while, she had Sharon smiling happily. However… Sharon picked up her cup and took a sip, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Someone who knew how to please others was nothing more than a source of temporary amusement,
The Horton family was among the Top Ten Families, and when any of their sons married, they paid close attention to the daughter–in–law’s abilities. If just knowing how to please others was enough, then plenty of online celebrities would be vying for Nick’s attention. They definitely wouldn’t need just eye candy
Sharon had almost given up hope and casually asked, “Layla, I heard your family has another daughter named Madeline?
“That’s right,” Layla smiled. “Maddie is quite shy and doesn’t talk much. She’s busy at school today. She ranked first in the whole city on the SAT and got into an elite university. So she’s often tied up with her studies and doesn’t have much time to be home. Plus, she works at Vanguard Corporation. She was exceptionally hired as a full–time employee. Wow, this kid is really busy.”
Layla wanted to mention that Madeline was also the CEO of Glorious Group. But she didn’t dare boast too much, fearing it might upset Caleb and the others, which could lead to trouble
It was clear that Sharon was much more interested in Madeline than in Winsler. She lifted a corner of her mouth, her smile becoming a bit more genuine. “Really! Would Vanguard Corporation hire a college freshman?”
“Of course, she’s even the CEO’s secretary!” said Layla proudly.
*If I’m not wrong, the CEO of Vanguard Corporation is.. Steven Sharon mentioned the name with a noticeably serious tone.

Sharon looked at Thomas with a perplexed expression and said, “Thomas, that’s not fair. Maddie is so talented. How can you keep her hidden‘ † though Nick is the youngest in his family, he still has a high status. If Maddie could marry Nick, it would certainly be a good match”
Sharon had seen pictures of Madeline before. Madeline was truly beautiful, undoubtedly the most stunning among the daughters of the Larson family. With her excrpitonal skills, Sharon had every reason to seriously consider Madeline.
Chapter 121
Tut Maddie’s personality… Thomas felt slightly apprehensive.
“It’s better for a girl to be independent and reserved.” Sharon said more patiently. T’ll stay here tonight. Can I see her tomorrow!”
“Yes, absolutely. It will be her birthday tomorrow, so you’ll definitely meet her,” Layla responded eagerly.
Winslet stood by, watching them talk on and on about Madeline. Her heart was boiling with anger and jealousy. It felt like she was just a useless piece of furniture here, with nobody sparing her a second glance. She thought, I am not inferior compared to Madeline at all. Why do they pick Madeline instead of me?
Winslet clenched her hands so tightly that her nails pierced her palms, causing sharp pain. If Nick had to choose, he would definitely pick her over that dull and boring Madeline.
