Chapter 217 

Layla was somewhat irritated and thought. I have been already feeling bad, and Madeline adds insult to my injur 

I have once been unfair to Madeline. But my heart is not made of stone. Am I wrong to feel sorry for Winsde? Why does sher laold priedzes against the dead Can’t die even show a little tolerance? 

Layla was about to stand up, but Thomas firmly held her hand and pulled her back to her seat. 

Layla had a sorrowful meal After her emotions settled, she managed to calm down a bit 

She realized Winslet wasn’t her real daughter; Madeline was. She shouldn’t still worry about Winslet. 

But Madeline knew her too well and wouldn’t be bothered by her at

She looked at Madeline’s back. “Madeline, Im sorry for getting so upset earlier. I have nothing to do with Winslet anymore. You’re my only daughter.” 

Madeline didn’t even pause: she walked away with determination. 

Thomas came over and sighed, “You see, you’re 100 emotional. We’ve misunderstood Madeline so many times, she has long resented Winslet. Though Winslet’s downfall is sad, she can only blame herself. She repeatedly plotted to frame Madeline. She could even betray Wesley who loved her so much, not to mention Madeline.” 

Thomas now saw things clearly. He had known the truth a long time ago. But back then, he cared more about his interests, choosing to ignore the truth 

Thomas thought. That’s completely understandable that Madeline refuses to forgive now. If it was me, I would not have forgiven such parents. either 

Layla felt a bit uneasy and waved her hand. “I understand the reasons, I just… I just can’t quite control my emotions” 

“Let me help you back to your room to rest, Thomas said. 

They returned to their room. Layla lay on the bed as Thomas went to get her a glass of hot water. 

Layla heard the ringtone and said. “Your phone is ringing” 

Thomas looked at his phone and saw that the call was from the Larson family in Japrium. He hesitated for a moment. 

Layla asked, “Whose call is it! It’s not another debt collector, is it?” 

Layla felt lingering dread. Everything at home had already gone; she couldn’t handle that kind of stress again. 

“No, it’s Co 

Conner calling.” Thomas said. 

Layla was surprised and frowned, “A call from Conner? Why is he calling us! He’s the head of the family now, but he never reached out to us all these years 

“I guess it’s a 

about Madeline, Thomas said with a bitter smile as he answered the call and put it on speakerphone. 

Layla had no clue about what was happening in Japrium, and Thomas hadn’t shared much, so she wasn’t aware of how well Madeline’s brothers were doing there. Madeline could do whatever the wanted in Japrium.

With such a background, it was only natural for the Larson family to seek an allia 

Conner said, Thomas, the holidays are coming up. When are you planning to come back? I can book your plane tickets and pick you up from the airport. This time, bring your wife and kids. We’re short–handed at home, and the company could use some fresh energy. I heard your five sons are all outstanding. Why not come back home and help our

In these desperate times, if we can return to the Larson family in Japriums and receive the family’s support, we will have a better life, even better than before “Honey, just agree to it.” Layla quickly signaled to her husband.

Conner sounded genuinely regretful. “Don’t hold a grudge against me. I was young and selfish hack then, only caring about myself” 

Thomas exchanged a few more polite words before hanging up. 

Layla’s eyes lit up. “dividends? Is he willing to give us dividends? The Larson family must be pretty wealthy now. Even if we get just one percent. year, it’s still way more than we used to make all year, right?” 

Layla wasn’t wrong. The Larson family truly was one of the Top Ten Families, a famous wealthy family in faprium. Their annual revenue easily exceeded 2 billion dollars. Getting just one percent of that revenue would be a great amount of money 

“Honey, why didn’t y 

you just agree with your brother earlier? What if he changes his mind?” Layla said. 

“Don’t be naive,” Thomas said, frowning and being straightforward. “They want us back for another reason. Do you realize we don’t offer them any benefit? Do you honestly think they’d generously share the profits with us!” 

“Of course, I know that. Layla still thought simply because of the profit. “We serve no purpose, so they can take nothing from us. If they offer us money, why not take it? They owe us anyway. Maybe your brother suddenly regrets his past actions now that he’s middle–aged.” 

“If there’s money to be made, why not take it?”
