Chapter 17
“It’s not me… Although Winslet was guilty, she still retorted quickly. She added, “How could I make my mom worry before the matter came to light? After all, the Larson family is decent. Someone must have informed my mother in time… Benjamin, you don’t think I told my mom about it. right!”
As Winslet said that, she was about to cry, feeling aggrieved once more.
At that time, Benjamin did not have any intention to comfort Winslet.
Instead, he looked at Madeline, who had been slandered all the time yet did not shed a tear.
He wondered. “How many times had she experienced such grievances that she had become that strong?”
Benjamin stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her red and swollen face. “Markle, I’m sorry. I’ve misunderstood you
“Don’t touch me.” Madeline frowned.
Benjamin’s hand came to a halt in the air,
He remembered that when they were deeply in love, Madeline was very dependent on him,
However, she was always too strong that although she depended on him, it was cautiously and proportionately.
But at present, she would only treat him with such an unfamiliar attitude, like treating an outsider or stranger.
Benjamin’s breath was caught in his throat. He said, “Maddie, it’s my fault this time. I will make it up to you”
“No need Madeline’s hair was a little messy. She raised her head and tucked her hair behind her ears.
She emitted a strong, cold aura
“Mr. Zimmerman, since you have spoken for me, can I encash my check now?”
Kevin hurriedly ordered the general manager. “Won’t you hurry up!”
He was a little sorry and said to Madeline, “I didn’t expect this to happen. One must always honor a bet. I am a person with moral senses… After last night, you caused me to look like this, but I still come here in person. Ms. Larson, don’t you think my attitude is still good?”
The general manager received the order and personally went to encash the check with sweat on his forehead.
Madeline was not foolish
Although she did not know the reason why Kevin would come to speak for her, she would not think he was a good man because of that
If it was before her rebirth, no one would talk to her about moral senses
But she still said politely, “Thanks”
Kevin was relieved.
At that time, the general manager came out with a card in his hand with an extremely respectful attitude. He said, “Ms. Larson, the check has been credited to your card 100 thousand dollars. Besides, for the damage caused to you by our bank, we’ve deposited 1.000 dollars for you… It’s our compensation for you. On behalf of Calla Hank, I sincerely apologize to you!
When Layla heard that Madeline had cashed 100 thousand dollars, she immediately became jealous.
Although she did not know how Madeline could get so much money from Kevin, that was not what she cared about,
Layla became enthusiastic all of a sudden. “Maddie, it’s my fault! I shouldn’t slap you indiscriminately. I’m sorry. I’ll cook something delicious for you tonight. Maddie, Lremember that you like seafood the most, right?”
Madeline frowned. Im allergic to seafood.”
Layla was stunned and thought, “It is. Oh Vivian, our neighbor, likes seafood. Oops, I remember it wrong”
“It’s the same.” Layla pursed her lips and continued, “But it’s not safe for a little girl like you to hold 100 thousand dollars alone. How about I help
you to keep it! You’re going to study soon. And also your grandfather’s medical bill…” Layla was like a fox in sheep’s clothing. She kept persuading Madeline, “You just became an adult and don’t know how to manage your finances…”
Obviously, Layla did not take that slap seriously.
Chapter 17
She looked at Madeline’s card and thought, “101 thousand dollars. It’s enough to buy a car for Wine and can save the money for Wanne further studies in university at once”
She reached out and tried to get the card.
But Madeline straightaway put it in her pocket and said, “You don’t need to worry
rry about it. Do you think. I don’t know how to spend money?” After saying that, Madeline sneered, “Layla, you don’t deserve to be my mother Stop pretending” Madeline lowered her eyes and smiled sarcastically 1 feel disgusted after seeing it”
Benjamin feh infinitely depressed.
give up the 10 thesisand dollars and was about to chase after her
As soon as Madeline left, Layla was still unwilling to give up
However, Benjamun blocked her with his hands
“Mrs. Larson, Maddie is angry. Don’t go over first.” Then, he said to Winslet. “Winnie, take Mrs. Larion home. I have something to deal
Winslet said weakly in an instant, “Benjamin, I just got a little heatstroke and feel very uncomfortable. I want to vomit.
“Mes. Larson, please take Winnie to consult a doctor. There is a hospital nearby. I’ll inform the amending physician to wait for you
After saying that Benjamin hurried aw
That was the only time his heart was biased toward Madeline between Winslet and Madeline
Winslet’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. She knew Benjamin must have gone after Madeline,
She thought disdainfully, “Isn’t it just a slap What’s the big deal! Is it necessary to be pretending like the whole world owes hert
“Mom, will Maddie really ignore us now??”
Layla snorted. “She won’t. She nerds the Larson family. Where will she go without us? Will she wants to return to the dirty countryside home where the chickens and ducks are kept in the yard?”
Benjamin chased after Madeline all the way and saw her get on the bus.
He followed her immediately and then sat behind Madeline.
Madeline frowned in disgust as if she met a piece of sticky chewing gum she could not get
tet rid of. He was an annoying existence to her
“Maddie, do you feel pain? Go to my house. Let me apply ice to you. If a girl’s face is red and swollen, it will definitely not look go
good.”
Madeline took a deep breath and resisted her urge to curse,
She did not understand that she used to be loyal and wander around Benjamin, yet he did not take her seriously at all. Meanwhile, when she had given up on him at present, he was being self–conceited and pretentious in loving her.
