The Remorseful Brothers (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

Hearing this, Ivy hurriedly said. “Our manager is here” 

Francis straightened his collar and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Zimmerman I’m the manager Francis Underwood!” 

Francis thought Kevin was going to praise and reward himself. 

“It’s our responsibility to do this, as well as our obligation!! 

Kevin was getting impatient. “I want to see the general manager. Are you deal?” 

Francis and Ivy looked at each other, 

They wondered why things h 

had turned out differently from what they thought. 

Benjamin’s heart sank when he saw Kevin’s temper. 

He pulled Winslet behind him and said. “Winnie, no matter what happens later, you hide behind me. Got a 

“Benjamin…” Winslet’s gaze was full of worries. “Maddie is still being stubborn in such a situation. “She doesn’t cherish what you do for her at all. I feel sorry for you. Is it really worth worrying about her?” 

Benjamin replied. “It’s my sense of responsibility,” 

Winslet rook Benjamin’s arm and said. “You have to protect yourself 

Benjamin felt warmness in his heart. “Okay, silly girl. The Moore family is no worse than the Zimmerman family. Don’t be afrand” 

Winslet grabbed Beupmin’s clothes and nodded obediently “Okay.” 

Madeline was annoyed t 

| by their self–righteousness. 

She looked down to check the time, getting a little anxious 

Her bus ticket was initially scheduled for 2 p.m. She would have to wait for the day after if she missed this trip. 

She got off the stool and walked toward Kevin. 

Kevin couldn’t help but move hack a little. 

If he hadn’t been in a wheelchair, he would have moved back even more. 

Madeline said condescendingly. “You shouldn’t have agreed to the bet if you can’t afford it.” 

Kevin said. “Uh” 

“Could she perhaps listen to my explanation” he thought. 

Benjamin hurriedly said. “Madeline!” 

“How could she still be so arrogant in times like this! Plus, why’s she so calm after doing such a thing?” he wondered. 

He grabbed Madeline’s arm, his gaze full of disappointment. “Stop it, okay?” 

At this time, the general manager had come out 

“Mr. Zimmerman, what can I do for you?” 

Kevin coughed. Although he didn’t know what was happening, it was more important to get things right. 

“What’s wrong with y 

your bank? Why did this happen?” 

The general manager was stunned. “Francis, what’s going on?” 

Francis explained quickly. “Here’s what happened….” 

He explained what happened in detail 

He wiped the sweat off his forchrad. “We should have informed Mr. Zimmerman as soon as possible. It’s our negligence not to do this. However, we thought the line girl was still young and probably made a mistake. That’s why we didn’t call the police straight away.” 

Chapter 16 

Francis still thought that Kevin was venting his anger on them. 

Kevin sneered. “Who told you that I didn’t give her the check? I was in the hospital the entire time. Did I tell you in your dreams? Cash the check and apologize to her!” 

When Kevin said this, everyone was stunned. 

It turned out it was just a misunderstanding. 

Francis staggered a few steps, and his face turned pale. 

Ivy also bit her lips, knowing that she was absolutely doomed. 

Winslet frowned, wondering, “How could it be possible? How would a country bumpkin like Madeline know a spoiled rich brat like Mr. Zimmerman?” 

Madeline was not from their circle at all 

Benjamin frowned. “Mr. Zimmerman, do you mean this check is really 

ly meant for Maddie? 

“What else? Who would be stupid enough to steal the Zimmerman family’s check!” 

Benjamin’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Madeline subconsciously 

The onlookers, especially those who had accused Madeline just now, lowered their heads shamefully. 

Winnie 

At this time, Layla finally arrived. 

Layla felt infuriated as she panted. 

When Layla glanced around, she recognized Kevin immediately. It seemed that he was trying to condemn Madeline for her actions! 

Layla was so angry that she turned around and glared at Madeline, raising her hand to slap her. 

Slap! 

o you think we are! If the Zimmerman family 

“You little brat Do you think you’re dauntless? How dare you steal Mr. Zimmerman’s check! Who do you wants to punish us, we’re doomed!” 

Just like that, Madeline was slapped without warning 

She covered her cheeks, and five abrupt fingerprint marks soon appeared on her tanned face. 

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corner of her eyes were slightly red. She was also breathing heavier than before. 

Madeline looked extremely pitiful. 

“Mrs. Larson Benjamin Sinally regained his senses. 

He had really misunderstood Madeline just now. 

It all turned out to be a misunderstanding. 

Layla looked at Benjamin and felt very guilty. “Benjamin, it’s my fault for not educating my daughter well. I’m sorry for embarrassing you. Then, she looked at Kevin apologetically. “Mr–Mr. Zimmerman, please forgive us. Don’t hate the Larson family for this. This is all on Madeline. You can punish her as you want, but don’t place the blame on the Larson family!” 

The passers–by couldn’t stand it anymore. 

“Ouch. She hasn’t even figured out the situation, yet she had hit so hard.” 

This little girl is so pitiful. She’s just here to cash out the cheque, but a group of people bullied her over it. Now, she’s even getting beaten” 

“Is this seriously her mother! She doesn’t even believe her daughter. Her elder sister even fueled the fire and got everyone to blame her younger sister. What a pretentious woman!” 

“Isn’t this little girl too unlucky!” 

Layla was stunned. She didn’t know what was going on 

Kevin almost stood up, but his legs hurt so much that he had to sit back in the wheelchair.
