Chapter 256
As soon as Layla said that, the room fell into silence and surprise
Thomas quickly interrupted, “What nonsense are you talking about? You never said that in Acocester”
“I felt sorry for her back then. Layla couldn’t help but feel wronged, her heart full of grievances. “Who understands the heartache Im going through here in Japrum We’re being bullied and excluded by the Larson family. We live uncasily, constantly having to watch our backs. I’m done
with this,”
shark.
Layla sat on the stool and wiped away her tears. “As long as she just comes back, even if just to put on a show, we can get tens of millions of dollars in dividends. She refuses to talk to us just because she doesn’t want to see us do well. How can she be so cruel! We’re her family”
Henry felt speechless. “You can’t blame Madeline for that. The Larson family set us up. Do you think we can get those dividends if she comes back?”
He couldn’t help but sneer. “They would not be happy to give us money. You’re constantly blaming Madeline now, but it was the Larson family that deceived you?
“Exactly, Mom” Lucas said while eating some fruit, “Maddie doesn’t owe us anything. How could you hate her?
Jacob also said. “You can’t think this way.
Mom.
Seeing her sons and husband all blaming her, Layla suddenly felt isolated and helpless. She felt embarrassed. “Are you all blaming me? Is it my fault our family went bankrupt Wasn’t it Madeline’s backers who ruined our business?”
Seeing her stubborn look, Thomas felt a bit impatient. “You should think about why Maddie did this. We almost ruined her future back then! She saved our sons at the reservoir. You are no one to blame her.”
Lucas paned Layla on her shoulder. “Don’t think pleasing the Larson family will get us those dividends, Mom. You know what kind of people they are. It’s better to rely on ourselves”
Layla clenched her fists. She understood it well, but given the situation, she wanted to give it a try. After all, she didn’t want to end up with nothing after all the suffering
Layla made up her mind. “Where did you see Madeline, Joel! Im going to see her right now! I don’t believe that she would refuse to just visit the Larson family! We are family after all
Harley adjusted his glasses. “Just tell her, Joel Fl go with Mom. She won’t be able to sleep tonight if she doesn’t try
Joel hesitated. Madeline had helped him today, and leading them to her felt wrong to him. “I can’t tell you. Don’t expect her to help. She won’t.”
“I know where she is even if you refuse to tell me.” Layla snorted. “She’s at the club, right? Vanessa posted about it with a location tag. Let’s go. Harley. I’ll beg her if I have to.
Seeing Thomas‘ speechless gaze, Harley knew that Layla was being stubborn. She lived a happy life before and the suffering she had endured this past year had pushed her to her breaking point
Harley could understand her take you there, Mom, but if you see Maddie, talk to her nicely and don’t try to quilt–trip her. We know how we’ve treated her. If she refuses to help, don’t force her. She has done enough for us.”
Layla reluctantly agreed. She was Madeline’s mother and she wouldn’t harm her. If they got the money, they would share it with ber
They set off by car and soon arrived at the Nightfall Club.
Layla had been very anxious on the way, eager to see Madeline a and had to wait in the car in the late autumn night
as soon as possible. However, they didn’t have the qualifications to enter the club
It wasn’t until Madeline came out of the Nightfall Clubs that Layla rushed out of the car. “Maddier
Madeline was caught off guard, her arm grabbed by Layla, causing her to stumble. She frowned at her and asked, “What are you doing here!

Madeline crossed her arms, skeptical that Layla was being genuine. It was at home where s here, she was healthy and well–fed. “If you need something, just say it. Stop with the pointless chutter.”

Told you that if you ever came back to priam, you should come and see us. We missed you” Layla said with a deeply concerned expression, trying to sound brartfelt “You’re my only daughter and I’ve been worried about you. You didió even tell me when you were back been

and I don’t know anything about your current life. Why don’t you come home with me! We can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”
“No need.” Madeline refused without hesitation, “Enjoy your good life at the Larson residence. I prefer taking my own path even if it’s difficult.” Layla’s eyes turned slightly red. “Just come home for a family meal, Maddie. Do you want me to beg you?”
