My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 

The family took quite a bit of a walk. 

They actually circled the entire Acocester University. 

Meanwhile, Madeline was not useless 

When they took photos of the whole family, Madeline was the photographer. 

Layla looked at the photo and was very satisfied. “What a beautiful family photo. Send it to me later, Winnie. I want to post it on Instagram.” 

Winslet smiled and replied, “Maddie, do you want to take a picture, too? Let me take one for you. Take one with our brothers. 

Joel snorted and left first. “Who wants to take a photo with her? Jinx.” 

Thomas smiled and said, “It’s okay. There are still many opportunities to take photos in the future. There’s no rush. Winnie’s the main character today. We can take photos at Maddie’s university when she goes to university next time.” 

The entire time, Madeline was envious

Madeline envied how shameless the family was that they could speak so blatantly. 

It was unbelievable for her.

After all, was that not Madeline’s university? 

Meanwhile, Layla said, “All right. It’s getting late. Let’s have dinner nearby.” 

By the time they got home, it was already past eight in the evening. 

Madeline was exhausted. 

There were several phone calls on Madeline’s phone, and they were all from the company. 

With that, Madeline told Matilda that she would take a few days off and ignored everything else. 

After Madeline had taken a shower, Thomas came to see her out of the blue. “Maddie, come see me at my study,” 

Madeline looked at her father and replied, “Okay.” 

It turned out that Layla and Thomas were both waiting for Madeline in the study. 

When Madeline stepped out of her room, she noticed the provocative and malicious smile on Winslet’s face, who was drinking water in the corridor. 

It was quiet in the study, and Thomas seemed solemn 

Sit, Maddie.” 

Madeline sat across from them. 

Then, Layla closed the door. 

That was the first time they had been alone in a room. 

Chapter 38 

Madeline looked at them, her so–called parents. 

Madeline used to yearn for family affection. However, she later realized that not all parents loved their daughters. 

Madeline lowered her eyes and said, “You can tell me if you have something to say.” 

Thomas smiled and took out a contract from the drawer. “Have a look.” 

71%0 

Layla looked a little guilty as she said, “You should already know it. We just had it down in black–and–white in case you go back on your word.” 

The contract was not thick. It was only three thin pages. 

The terms on it were also simple. 

Firstly, Madeline was to give up her spot in the university to Winslet and keep that a secret for life. 

Secondly, Madeline was to give up the right of inheritance in the Larson family and agree to follow the shares according to the will after her parents passed. 

Thirdly, Madeline was to go to the countryside and return a year later from the day after the next day onward. 

For that, Madeline would receive a compensation of 20,000 dollars. 

“20,000 dollars. Madeline chuckled. “Aren’t they treating me like a fool?” thought Madeline. 

“Actually, I’m curious. Why did you bring me back? There would’ve been less trouble now if you didn’t,” said Madeline. 

Layla’s smile froze instantly. 

Back then, Layla had felt that Madeline was her baby daughter; the former had carried her for ten months, after all. Thus, there was no way Layla would have let Madeline stay in the countryside and let others have the latter. 

In a sense, Layla was a little guilty back then. 

However, after having Madeline for more than eight months since they brought her back, Layla really felt regretful. 

Layla thought Madeline was incompetent. 

Thus, Layla was annoyed every time she saw Madeline, not to mention treating the latter as her daughter. 

Compared to the 18 years of being with Winslet, the blood tie with Madeline was much too frail. 

“I was worried that you would suffer in the countryside back then. We don’t mean to abandon you with this contract. We only want you to study hard in the countryside. Next year, you will still be our good daughter if you can still get such good grades in the exam.” 

Madeline pursed her lips and said, “What if I don’t do well in the exam?” 

Thomas was silent for a while and replied, “We’ll try our best to make some arrangements for you. At worst, we’ll make sure you’ll be able to continue your studies.” 

Madeline lowered her eyes and said, “Tll do it, and I don’t want any money.” 

Layla was stunned. She couldn’t believe there would be such a good deal. 

Similarly, Thomas also looked at Madeline curiously. “It’s impossible if you’re thinking of getting your spot back. You know

Chapter 38 

The couple looked at Madeline warily. 

However, what they didn’t expect was that Madeline’s request was really simple. 

471%% 

Madeline shook her head and interjected, “I want to legally disown you guys and I can renounce my inheritance after that.” 

The couple looked at each other and fell silent as soon as Madeline said that. 

Madeline then added. “It’s for your good as well.” 

Madeline looked up at them without a hint of emotion in her eyes as if nothing had happened. 

It was as though Madeline was looking at two strangers. 

Yet, Thomas found it hard to meet Madeline’s gaze. 

I refuse. Thomas snorted coldly and continued, “Your mother carried you in her body for ten months and almost died. when she gave birth to you. Are you trying to break ties with us? I’m telling you now. Don’t even think about it. If you insist on it, there’d be no other way unless you give your life back to your mother!” 

Madeline looked helpless. 

She could not understand how they had no concern for her yet refused to disown her. 

She felt that her parents were selfish. 

To think that they had asked Madeline to give her life back to her mother. 

Yet, they never questioned if Layla had fulfilled her role and responsibility as a mother. 

Madeline sneered. “Then, I won’t sign the contract. Unless I die. I will not agree to give up my right of inheritance. 

Layla frowned and said, “Don’t be stubborn. Madeline, be good and sign it. That way, it’d be good for everyone!” 

“Why should I give up my inheritance rights?” Madeline looked at Layla curiously and continued, “In a legal sense, we are a family. No matter how much Winslet inherits in the future, I will inherit the same-” Madeline suddenly paused and smiled. Then, she added, “No. I will inherit more than her. After all, I am your biological daughter” 

She did not stop there. Madeline’s gaze darkened as she said, “It’s up to you whether I sign the contract or not. I don’t care about the 20.000 dollars. You can reconsider it.” 

As soon as she finished her sentence, Madeline left the study. 

Outside the door, Winslet was secretly waiting. When she saw Madeline coming, her expression was still gloating. 

‘Madeline. 

Madeline was annoyed. “Get out of my way.”
