The Remorseful Brothers novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Madeline didn’t believe a word Eugene said. 

She hadn’t built up her tolerance in this body yet, so one drink would be enough to knock her out and leave her vulnerable. 

She met Eugene’s playful gaze. His intentions were practically written all over his face. 

Madeline said, “No. 

“Let’s go home.” 

Eugene grabbed Madeline’s hand and suggested, “How about we soak in the hot springs together?” 

Eugene really didn’t want to go back and see Gavin 

Love triangles were nothing but trouble, 

Eugene wanted to spend time with Madeline alone so that he could get close to her. 

If Gavin was present, how could Eugene get Madeline’s attention? 

Bogene said. “Madeline, the scenery here is really different from back there. Do you believe me? 

“Soaking in hot springs with different views is a totally different experience” 

Madeline pulled her coat tighter around her, thinking, ‘No way. I just got a massage. All I want to do now is go home and binge–watch my shows. 

Madeline waved her hand and said. “Go ahead by yourself” 

Eugene clicked has tongue and obediently followed Madeline back. 

Vanessa returned to the Larson residence looking quite disheveled 

Although Vanessa tried her best to avoid running into her family, the staff still noticed her as she passed through the hall. 

Laura Whitman, Ruth’s maid, asked. “Ms. Larson, what happened? Why is your face swollen 

“Weren’t you supposed to be enjoying the spa at the mountain retreat! 

“Should I get you some ointment for the swelling?” 

Laura looked visibly concerned. Having been Ruth’s personal attendant for many years, she cared a lot about Vanessa 

Laura knew Vanessa was naughty, but she had a good heart. 

Vanessa wouldn’t start trouble

When Laura went to get the ointment, she reported it to Ruth.

Vanessa sat on the couch, checked her cheeks with her phone screen, and murmured. “Is it really 

The décor of the house exuded luxury, Vanessa sat on a genuine leather couch, leaning against a soft, warm fur blanket The crystal chandelier was stunning, its light reflecting off the shiny marble floors. 

Suddenly Ruth asked “Vanessa, why did you get hurt again?” 

Her old voice echoed in the room 

Vanessa jumped, turning to see Ruth coming down the stairs. Feeling a bit guilty, Vanessa said, “It’s okay. I just fell.” Those bandprints are quite noticeable, and day 

you still want to lie to me?” Ruth’s tone turned a bit more serious 

was streaked with gray, and she wore a dark gray outfit but her eyes were bright. 

She was clearly a strong–willed woman 

Vanessa said honestly. “H. It was Madeline. She hit me last time, and she did it again. 

1 don’t dare to tell the truth because I’m atrand my family might have conflicts with her because of ine

“She is indly crary” 

Vanessa covered her cheeks and continued with a grievance, “I just went to the hot springs and ran into her. Out of nowhere, I got slapped. Next time, I’ll have to be more careful and avoid her.” 

Vanessa was actually pretending to be innocent by saying those words. 

She knew that as long as she was hit for no reason, Ruth would definitely stand up for her. 

As expected, Ruth cursed madly, “Ridiculous! How dare a wretch humiliate my Vanessa like this! 

Ruch barked. ‘Send someone quickly to bring her back. I really want to know where she got such courage!” 

Ruth felt nothing but complete disgust at the mention of Madeline. She couldn’t comprehend why Thomas would raise such a rebellious and undeserving child 

Ruth comforted Vanessa, “Vanessa, don’t be scared. With m me around, 1 guarantee she won’t dare lay a finger on you again.” 

Ruth continued, “You shouldn’t always be excessively kind or too accommodating. People like her tend to bully those who are kind and fear those who are tough. In reality, she’s just all talk and poses no real threat. 

Vanessa felt very pleased at Ruth’s words and quickly nodded, saying, “Grandma, I know you care for me the most. Dad and Mom will just tell me to bear it, so I never dare provoke Madeline when I see her. Als! Who knew she would even become more aggressive 

After that, Vanessa added, “This time, she didn’t just hit me, the also hit Monica. 

“Monica’s brother really cares about her. Even though Monica’s mother died young, Monica’s family spoils her a lo 

“If her family finds out Monica was hit by someone from the Lanson family.. Oh, that’s really bad” 

Ruth’s face grew increasingly stern and unpleasant. 

She thought, ‘If Madeline stayed here, she would eventually cause trouble for the Larson family. 

Thave to teach her a real lesson, or she be more and more reckless 

Ruth was indifferent to the potential trauma she might inflict on Madeline. 

All she wanted was for Madeline to behave properly, be honest, and respect the hierarchy. 

Ruth believed that since Madeline was at the Larson residence, she should remember that Vanessa’s family was the most esteemed, while her own family was viewed as less prominent. 

In the blink of an eye, Madeline, Eugene and Gavin made their way down from the mountain retreat. 

Gavin had 

some matters to attend to, so he left quickly. 

Madeline and Eugene were planning to return to the villa, but on the way, several cars suddenly stopped in front of their car, completely blocking their way 

The road was initially empty, and it was evident that the six black cars were specifically targeting Madeline. 

The road ahead was completely blocked by the parked cars, making it impossible to drive through. 

Eugene placed his hands on the wheel and squinted, puzzled, saying, “I’ve always been friendly with others, so why are there so many people here 

to block me! This doesn’t make sense 

“Eugene, they must be here for me,” Madeline said. “I gave 

ve Vanessa a beating again yesterday, and she’s probably holding a grudge and coming for 

revenge.” 

Eugene said. “As a lady, you should avoid getting into fights when you’re out 

“You’re so skinny What if you run into someone tough, huh? 

Just give me a call, and I’ll handle easy. Theres no need to put yourself in any danger.” 

Eugene remained calm, not fearing those people at all. 

He was just afraid Madeline might get herself hum
