Chapter 208
1 was just a bit unfeeling.
Madeline used to think Ruth was
She now understood that Ruth had an excessive desire for control over everything.
Madeline found it hard to believe. It sounded like Thomas was once a remarkable person.
However, in Madeline’s eyes, Thomas was someone who wouldn’t stop at anything to get power
Eugene noticed Madeline’s confusion and said with a smile. “You’re probably wondering why your dad is so excellent yet such a letdown, right?
“Ugh. I really don’t like him, but to be honest, the Larson family has done a lot to keep him in check.
“Mrs. Larson sure holds grudges, she’s been giving him trouble for year.”
After saying those words, Eugene quickly added. “But honestly, how is he any different from Mrs. Larson when he ignores and mistreats you for power!
“He pushed his own daughter to the edge just to pamper a foster daughter. Someone like him definitely deserves what he gets,”
Madeline, of course, was all too aware of this
She nodded and said. Tm just surprised. I don’t feel sorry for him at all.
“Honestly, I think I’m the one who’s really pitiable.
“I should really start taking better care of myself.”
As for the feud between Thomas and the Larson family. Madeline would just treat it as some interesting gossip she had picked up.
Eugene nodded with approval saying. “That’s the right attitude. Feeling sorry for people like Thomas will only bring you bad luck all your life.”
The convoy soon arrived at the Larson residence.
Madeline followed Sharon inside.
Sharon appeared a bit uneasy as she said to Madeline, “Mr. Larson has ne

However, whether she could do it depended on whether Ruth was worth respecting
Sharon thought to herself that it was best to avoid a conflict between Madeline and fouth; she needed to be the peacemaker.
Otherwise, Sharon might offend Eugene
That would only make her more miserable.
Sharon asked, “Would you like some coffee?”
Madeline shook her head and said, “No thanks, I doubt the Larson family is that welcoming
Sharon was aware of the situation and once in the hall, she prepared to have a chat with Ruth,
Yet, the living room was empty, not a soul was there.
Only a housemaid was present, cleaning the table.
Sharon asked, “Laura, where is Mrs. Lanion?”
Laura glanced at the people behind Sharon and ignored them directly.
Laura said to Sharon, “Mrs. Larson is already napping. She had lunch and is resting“
Sharon was a bit surprised. It was only 11:30 am, and Ruth had already raten lunch and gone for a nap. How could that bet
Sharon wasn’t clueless. It was clear that Ruth was deliberately being difficult.
“Is there any lunch left?” asked Sharon.
Laura replied with a sigh, “No, we didn’t get much at the store today. All that’s left are leftovers, and we’ve already thrown those out with the food
11.02 AM
Chapter 205
“In the kichen, there’s only the food for the staff, not exactly suitable for you.”
Sharon thought Kuth must have gone senile.
Ruth was always like this, arrogant and old–fashioned, never bothering to change or adapt her views.
Believing the Larson family to be prestigious, Ruth acted freely, disregarding the potential consequences.
But had always looked down on Madeline and her family.
Ruth thought of Madeline as insignificant, incapable of causing any trouble, just wanting to give Madeline a hard time
At the Larson residence. Sharon didn’t have a high status. Her past actions had already lost her favor with Ruth, and now she couldn’t persuade Huth at all.
Sharon said. “Why don’t you take your seats! Once Mr. Larson wakes up, she’ll come and meet you.”
To reassure Madeline and Eugene, Sharon gently explained, “Mrs. Larson doesn’t have as much energy these days and usually takes an afternoon nap to recharge.
“If you have some time, I can show you around.
“Madeline, you’ve never been here before, have you? It’s good to get familiar with this place
Sharon clearly remembered the first time she met Madeline.
New, Sharon had to respect Madeline.
If Madeline wasn’t happy, Eugene would be upset, too
In that case, Sharon would be in trouble.
Laura was a bit confused by Sharon’s attitude.
Laura thought, “Ms. Larson should adjust her attitudes based on the different people she encounters.
Why does she take Madeline so seriously?”
At this time, Vanessa suddenly said. “Aunt Sharon, are you really planning to show her around? Have you forgotten her family was kicked out long
“If you treat her like family, aren’t you ignoring what Grandma decided back then?”
Vanessa came downstairs in her beige loungewear,
She just got up
The Lanon family adored Vanessa, so she didn’t have to work hard.
Vanessa did whatever she wanted at home, sleeping in as much as she liked.
Vanessa turned to Laura and asked, “Laura, I’m starving. Where’s the mushroom soup you made for me?
“I got hit yesterday, so I need to eat something nourishing and recover
Laura, feeling sorry for Vanessa, immediately went to get the mushroom soup and brunch.
The table was set with plenty of fo

However, Laura just told Sharon that there was no food left
Madeline smirked. “Since Mrs. Larson’s trying to boss me around, I might as well leave
