The Remorseful Brothers (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 

She thought, “Minderstanding” 

Winslet’s heart nearly stopped. She said, “So… everything you 

ou just said doesn’t count anymore! Nick, don’t believe her. She’s trying to sow discord 

between us. 

Winder shot a venomous glare at Madeline, pointed at her, and said, “It’s her! She’s the one who ruined my face, she’s the one torturing me! She’s jealous that I got engaged to you, which is why she did such heinous things” 

Madeline raised her eyebrows. To be honest, Winslet wasn’t completely wrong. Madeline did have about 30 percent involvement in the way Winslet tumed out. 

Seeing that Nick remained unresponsive, Winslet reared at Madeline, “Why are you still here after making me like this?” 

Winslet, on the verge of emotional collapse, took out her phone, intending to call the police. She mustered to herself, “I have to get this murderer arrested. Why can she be fine while I’m like this? You murderer! You heartless wretch!” 

Madeline looked down at the frantic Winslet. She smirked slightly. Once upon a time, she had been the one breaking down. Now, the roles have been reversed. 

“Arrest me? How will you arrest me? Where’s the evidence? Madeline asked. 

Winsler’s hand trembled, and she stared pitifully at Madeline. 

Madeline tilted responsibility” 

her head, spread her hands innocently, and said, “Even if you go crazy and run your mouth, it doesn’t mean I have to take 

“You’re still making excuses! Nick, you have to believe me… Winslet sniffled and said, her face aching 

She remembered her appearance and couldn’t help but cover her face. In front of Madeline, she finally began to feel inferior. How could Nick ever pity her now? 

Nick exhaled and said, “I barely know you. Who exactly is Madeline? Who is my 

fancee!” 

He glanced towards Madeline at the door, feeling a headache coming on. He asked, “Are you Madeline?” 

Madeline crossed her arms and replied, Tm Madeline. But your fiancée is her. She had no intention of hiding the truth. 

She continued. “I’m no longer part of the Larson family. I don’t know why you would think I’m your fancee. Legally speaking, I’m not a member of the Larson family, nor am I within the scope of your arranged marriage. So… You were simply deceived. 

Nick’s face tightened. He pursed his lips and said, “But the photos I saw were of you.” He glanced at the person lying in bed, then back at the pale Layla, and asked, “So, what’s going on here?” 

Even though Nick was kind and patient, it didn’t mean he was someone who could be manipulated. The powerful Horton family could easily crush the small Larson family of Acocester with just a flick of a finger. 

He said coldly, “If you don’t explain. I have the Larson family in the capital give me a proper explanation” 

“Please don’t” Layla pleaded, terrified. If the Larson family found out about the mess, they would be doomed. 

Her eyes darted around, and under Nick’s intense gaze, she finally gave in and confessed everything. However, she only took the blame herself, not daring to implicate Sharon. 

A hint of mockery flashed in Madeline’s eyes. Layla was foolish. Did she think that by protecting Sharon, Sharon would help them in ret Absolutely not. 

“Alright” Madeline glanced at the time and said, “You all can continue talking. I’m leaving.” 

With that, she turned and was about to leave. Nick wanted to chase after her, but Layla grabbed his arm. 

upon. 

return? 

Layla said, “Mr. Horton, please don’t let this get out. Otherwise, we’ll be ruined? 

Windet also sobbed bitterly, feeling deeply heartbroken that Nick wanted to leave her behind to chase after Madeline. 

Wanddei sairl, “Nick, I admit I was wrong to do this, but it’s all because I admire you. I really like you, but you never noticed me. My affection is far deeper than Madeline’s Madeline… Madeline is a cold–hearted person. She doesn’t understand what it means to love?“ 

Chupter is 

At the doorway, Madeline heard the sobbing and pleading behind her. Winslet was crying so pitifully. For a moment, she felt a sense of detachment 

Once, when Winslet stole Benjamin from her, she had been so arrogant. But now? Madeline’s eyes grew colder. Perhaps being cold–hearted was the only way not to get hurt. 

She pressed her lips together, unconvinced that Winslet had any true feelings. Winslet was simply out of options. 

As for Nick, if he turned out to be another Benjamin, it had nothing to do with her. 

Nick, held back by Layla, irritably shook her off and said, “Mrs. Larson, please have some self–respect! You’ve caused such a ridiculous mess Pleading with me now is pointless. The only solution is for you all to agree to annul the previous marriage agreement since we haven’t officially gotten engaged.” 

Nick cast a cold glance at the bedridden Winslet. He thought, ‘She truly is a scheming and unscrupulous woman! Nick couldn’t imagine how suffocating it would have been if Madeline hadn’t shown up, and he had fallen for Winslet’s trap. 

When Winslet caught sight of the disgust in Nick’s eyes, her heart sank, and she bowed her head in shame. 

As the sound of footsteps faded, Winslet timidly raised her head. “Mom, am I really that ugly?” 

“No. Rest and recover. I need to go discuss something with your aunt, Layla said, completely drained, shivering with a chill in her heart, and couldn’t muster any words of comfort, 

Winslet watched helplessly as Layla left. Now, she was the only one left in the ward. She took out her phone and called each of her brothers, but none of them answered, except for Joel. 

Winslet clutched her blanket, crying when Joel finally rushed over 

She burst into tears, saying, “Joel, the others won’t talk to me anymore. You’re the only one I have left. Even Mom and Dad have abandoned me. What should I do?”
