Chapter 249

After dinner, the whole family gathered in the living room at the Larson residence. There was boiling tea on the table, but no one made a move. Ruth sat at the head of the table, expressionless as she looked down at the others. “Thomas.” 

Thomas stiffened slightly, feeling a bit of a headache. He had been back in Japrium for so long, living in an old residential building in the suburbs. After bringing them here, the Larson family had essentially ignored them. They did arrange jobs for his sons, but none within the main group, only Insignificant positions in the branch companies, 

These positions were a waste of talent for Harley and the others, so naturally, no one was willing to take them. 

Only Jacob, urged by Layla, had his engagement in Acocester disrupted and now without a job, so he couldn’t bear to refuse her. He complied and look a position as the head of the sales department in the company. He was quite capable and could shine anywhere. 

Joel had managed to find a related job, doing flight training at a military academy. Meanwhile, Harley applied for and got a high school teacher position near home. 

Henry continued his career in the car business, and with some capital, he had been doing quite well after a while. 

Lucas was steadily making a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Thanks to his superior appearance and his hard work without any scandals, he was never short of resources. 

Thomas held the position of head of the logistics department at the main company, earning 6 thousand dollars a month. His work was trivial, but at least it came without much stress. 

The family wasn’t like many other wealthy ones in japrium, but they were well off, without worries about food and clothing. 

Ruth hadn’t seen them for half a year, and this rare dinner invitation made them quite nervous when she spoke. 

Layla forced a smile and said, “Is there something you’d like to tell us, Ruth?” 

Ruth glanced at Layla. “Your daughter has returned to Japrium. Are you aware of this?” 

Layla’s smile froze. She had no idea. Her daily life was a whirlwind of household chores, and her social standing had dropped significantly. She had to do the housework herself and had little time to follow Madeline. 

Moreover, Madeline had long blocked her. Even if she wanted to know more about her, she couldn’t. 

Seeing her expression, Ruth knew that she was in the dark. It was okay. Ruth had been keeping an eye on Madeline and as soon as this girl arrived in Japrium, someone reported it to her immediately. 

“Don’t blame me for being too harsh on you.” Ruth sighed, pretending to be solemn. “I know what you did in the past. It’s not pleasant for anyone to have treated an impostor like a treasure! It’s normal for Madeline to have some grievances against you. But are you just going to ignore her? Do you really think leuing her, a young woman, go our and entertain people as an actress is acceptable? She’s part of the Larson family and I won’t allow her to be left out there. You need to find a way to bring her back homer 

Thomas felt helpless. He knew that Ruth was just being hypocritical. If she truly cared about her descendants, she wouldn’t have let her stay in Acocester alone for so many years. 

It was all about interests. 

“I agree.” Conner echoed, “Ruth values Maddie greatly. I also want her to go back home. Maddie is highly educated, intelligent, and pretty. She is a very impressive young lady. Her absence feels like a loss to the family” 

Thomas listened to their words, feeling pissed. He thought that even if Madeline were to come back, it wouldn’t necessarily mean a better life for her; she would likely just be used in this situation. “Maddie has grown up and has plans for her future. She’s quite independent out there, so I don’t want to limit her freedom. Moreover, she has already cut ties with us, I don’t have the right to interfere with her life anymore.” 

“That’s nonsense!” Ruth slammed the table in anger, her eyes narrowing and her voice rising. “You are her father. If you’re not qualified to interfere, who else ist She is your daughter and born to obey you and follow your every word. Whether you have to coax her, threaten her, or bribe her, just bring her home!” 

Vanessa’s eyes were filled with contempt. She was dressed up, ready to go out clubbing in the evening, but the family meeting kept even more irritating was having to listen to their plans to bring Madelineback 

She truly despised Madeline but also harbored some fear of her. She would feel glad if Madeline just died outside. 

ther. What was 

As the daughter of the Larson family, none of the daughters from her uncles and aunts could compare to her. If Madeline were to return and be so useful to the family, everyone would care about her, which would put her at a disadvantage. 

“Madeline alorsn’t want to come back. Why are you so stubborn?” Vanessa muttered in complaint. “Dad never praises me for being smart or pretty”

Tuna, patted her hand and, seeing her reluctance, sighed, She whispered. “Don’t be so silly. Your dad wants Madeline not because he cares about her. It’s about using her connections for ourselves. Ruth has little patience left for your uncle’s family”
