My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 

Layla was still weary when the ambulance arrived. 

The nurse reminded her, “Please have a family member follow us to the hospital.” 

Layla, who had been muddle–headed, was about to leave in a daze. 

Winslet said in a low voice, “What about me, Mom!” 

Layla glanced at Winslet. It was as if she had found her anchor, and her soul finally returned to her body. 

Her eyes glimmered, and she said with a forced, awkward smile, “Don’t be afraid, Winnie. I’m here. Realizing her predicament, she asked, “Which hospital are you from, doctor? I’ll ask my other son to hurry over.” 

She also left them her phone number. 

After the doctor had taken Harley away, Layla was on the verge of exhaustion and squatted her body stolidly in the empty hall. 

She muttered, “Madeline is not dead. She has taken a new lease on life and changed into someone we are unworthy to seck connections with. 

Winslet was slightly anxious and suggested, “It’s okay, Layla, If we are sure that Alina is Madeline, that’s a good thing. After all, blood is thicker than water. There is no enmity between a mother and a daughter. Have you forgotten? Maddie’s birthday is coming up soon. By then…” She bit her lips and continued, “By then, we can arrange a birthday party and celebrate it with her in person. She will definitely be touched” 

Winslet had already diverted her train of thought then. 

“Madeline will never let go of me. After all, I have scoffed and ridiculed her too much before. I must have offended her beyond measure. However, it is different for the Larson family. They share the same blood–the blood that is flowing through Madeline’s body. She will return to the Larson family when they strike the right chord that touches her. At that time, even if I am a blood–sucking leech, it will be enough for me to reap the benefits of Madeline. After all, Madeline has the Glorious Group.” 

A calculating glint flashed through Winslet’s eyes. 

“Mom, I remember that there will be a flower–presenting ceremony at the new student welcome party tonight. Why don’t you order a bouquet of flowers and send it to Madeline? If you lower your stance, she’ll surely be crestfallen and forgive you. 

Layla raised her head, looked at Winslet, and asked, “You think so, Winnie? Why do I think she couldn’t be bothered to talk to me at all?” Then, she added angrily, “Besides, if she really is Madeline, how can she indulge that man to beat you up like that? And to have our family humiliated repeatedly? She is such an ungrateful person!” 

Winslet said in a low voice. “Dad is supporting Larson Group alone now, Mom. I really don’t have the heart to see him working so hard. We should try our best to do what we can, okay? If Maddie can come around, even if I’m to kneel and seek her forgiveness, I will do so.” 

A few tears dropped as Winslet said them, with the look of her swallowing humiliation and bearing the heavy load of the family. 

Layla felt a tug on her heartstrings for her daughter, who was ever so sensible. She had kept her family in mind wholeheartedly, despite the suffering she had been through. She was so unlike Madeline, who had become a big boss overnight and had her nose in the air so arrogantly. Sooner or later, she would be punished by society. 

“Don’t worry. Winnie. I won’t be biased. I’ll just go and pretend to coax Madeline. You’re my dearest daughter in my heart 

Windler nodded hurriedly. She was yearning with all her might that her mother could coax Madeline at that exact moment. Otherwise, she would be dead meat. Even if Madeline didn’t do it herself, those maniac brothers of Madeline would surely let Winslet die a terrible death. 

Time passed by as they spoke, 

Unbeknownst to Layla and the others, a post was silently brewing on the forum of Acocester University. 

A 

[Ridiculously funny! Professor Larson’s younger sister went to Accester University with a score of 233 on the national university entrance exam!] 

A photo was attached. As soon as the post came out, a small icon indicating its popularity flared next to it, 

It was a hot trending post 

When I went to the other budding today. I saw Professor Larson acting out on behalf of his younger sister. He was venting his anger and accusing a counselor of messing with the data. I was furious when I heard that (actually, that was stupid of me). At that moment. I thought, what kind of counselor would dare to bully Professor Larson’s sister! We all know Professor Larson’s reputation | | 

Chapter 80 

The post did not end there. The malam, presumably Professor Larson’s mother, was very agitated in her mannerism. She claimed that her daughter was the City’s number one and an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Management. She hurled abuse toward the counselor, smashed the office, and blamed the counselor for making trouble. And the reason was that there was no student record of Professor Larson’s sister in the Faculty of Management’s system. As a result, the counselor threw out a piece of paper showing Professor Larson’s sister’s score of 235 points.] 

The post concluded: [Pardon me for speaking bluntly. With such grades, even if she were a vocational school student at Acocester University, she would still need to get preferential treatment for an entry] 

“There were a lot of comments that followed the post. 

Evidently, Professor Larson has manipulated it for his sister. And as it turned out, it was a manipulation gone wrong.] 

[I wouldn’t have thought a professor to have such authority in admission. 285 points to get into our best programs? Were we all jokes when we enrolled successfully at Acocester University?] 

[I was sick to my stomach, okay? What was the basis for Professor Larson’s popularity? I reckon that he has a doctorate. Has he gained popularity because of his appearance?] 

I hope the school would thoroughly investigate the matter. Such a person doesn’t deserve to be a professor.] 

[I agree with the above statement. Although I used to like Professor Larson very much, his actions are off–putting and disgusting.] 

That kind of behavior had already annoyed the mass public. 

All the students had worked hard to gain admission to Acocester University. How could a student such as Winslet, with only 235 points, attend the same school as those who had worked hard! 

Was it because her brother was Harley! 

The posts became increasingly popular, with comments reaching almost a thousand. 

And it seemed to have a tendency to be led online, which would make matters worse. 

After all, Harley was a handsome professor at Acocester University. He was famous and often publicized online. 

Harley was even featured in Acocester University’s student recruitment videos. 

He had a lot of fans. In fact, many of them had taken the entrance examination at Acocester University because of Professor Larson. 

When Harley woke up in the hospital, he received a call from the school. 

He returned the call. The moment it connected, he heard Anthony Zeigler, Director of Acocester University, cursing at the other end of the phone “Where are you? We’re having an emergency meeting. You are so awesome, Professor Larson! You have put us in a popular debate on the first day of school. Who on earth gave you the courage to make such a fool of yourself? We are a century–old prestigious university, Acocester University. You are ruining our reputation!” 

For an institution, to love its prestige was undoubtedly fatal. 

In the coming year, everyone would assume that Acocester University was an institution where students could attend at will. Student recruitment would definitely become a big problem, 

Harley was on an IV drip. He looked pale and said weakly, “There is a misunderstanding amidst it all.” 

“What’s the misunderstanding?”
