Chapter 259
Thomas felt a bit guilty toward Madeline and introduced her to everyone.
Madeline glanced around and saw Conner, his wife Tiana, and their daughter Vanessa.
They looked friendly except for Vanessa, who looked unpleasant and sulky like she had stepped on dog shit.
As for Sunny and his family, Madeline didn’t know them well, but her second uncle and aunt seemed serious and formal.
They were expressionless when not speaking, but their eyes showed displeasure towards her, indicating she had upset them and they held a grudge.
Their son was there too. Although he was still young, he looked older, sulky, and scheming
Lincoln was good–looking but seemed not very reliable,
His wife looked gentle and Madeline found her face familiar when she looked more closely at her.
Madeline was working in the entertainment industry so soon, she recognized Bella.
She didn’t expect the wife of her uncle to be an actress.
Lincoln’s daughter and son were sitting beside them but they didn’t talk much.
They were sitting at the very end of the table so obviously, they weren’t very favored by Rush.
As for Thomas, to Madeline’s surprise, he was seated right next to Ruth. Their family’s seats were all very close to Iuth so Ruth liked them even more than Sunny and Lincoln
Madeline felt amused,
She wondered
d if they alw
ways sat around the table like this or if they changed their seats just to
to put on a show for her
“Madeline, are you daydreaming? Hurry up and say hello to Ruth Layla whispered to Madeline, “Ruth really cares about you. Show her some
respect.
Layla noticed that others seemed slightly unhappy with Madeline’s attitude
As a member of the younger generation, it was not improper if she didn’t
greet the elders first.
Ruth nodded slightly and turned to Madeline, waiting for her to take the initiative to say hello.
She thought it would be a good chance to teach Madeline a lesson. After all, a wealthy family very conscious of hierarchy had a lot of rules, unlike the other families.
But Madeline found it ridiculous
Madeline snorted, “Well, don’t sound so condescending.
“There are so many people here. I can’t remember any of them. I not good at remembering people’s faces.” Madeline said, resting her chin in her hand, looking clueless, “Besides, Tm not here for a family reunion
“So, you asked me to come here to get my share of the money. Tell me when I will get the money”
Madeline didn’t even touch her forks. She tapped the table twice. I drove all the way here. Don’t waste my time anymore.
Layla’s semile suddenly froze on her lips.
She knew Madeline very well. Even though Madeline was not talkative, she was always polite.
She wondered how coupe Madeline was so disrespectful to them although everyone smiled at her after she arrived.
She thought Madeline had no manners at all
Layla’s face darkened. She said, “Madeline, what’s going on with you? Madeline thought, Why would I watch my manners here!
you? Have you forgotten all the manners I h
I have taught you!
am there just for the show, not to pretend to be an obilient daughter or granddaughter.

Yohannes, sitting beside her, smiled gently.
He thought Madeline had lost her mind. He didn’t expect that she was there to stir things up.
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions became strange while looking at Madeline.
They wondered how come such a pretty young girl had crude manners.
They thought she didn’t look like a Larson at all
They thought no one else would believe she was from a rich family.
Bella, responsible for teaching Madeline manners, didn’t dare to talk about it. She said, “Madeline, let’s discuss this after we finish the meal. Everyone was waiting for you so we haven’t eaten anything yet”
“Meal?” Madeline frowned. Tim not in need of it. Let’s talk about the money that you promised me
a fierce look
Ruth glared at Thomas with a fir
She wondered what his son had said to Madeline behind her back.
She wondered if he tricked Madeline into coming here by promising her money
Conner cleared his throat. “We can talk about everything. No hurry. You’re still young. Try to be composed.”
Tiana said. “Yeah” She clamped her lips together and she felt that being Madeline’s family was embarrassing. She continued, “Ruth is taking care of everything. You should be respectful to her. No need to rush into this topic”
Vanessa smirked eagerly, waiting to see someone humiliate Madeline.
Thomas tried to save
to save his face. “Madeline. Moms has arranged a villa for you. She’s really nice to you”
Madeline said, “A villa, really?”
Ruth chuckled, feeling a pain and thinking that Madeline didn’t deserve it
Ruth said, “Yes, a villi
“You’re my favorite granddaughter, Madeline. Of course, Ill make everything ready for you. I will definitely not forget the dividends that I promised you
“As the head of the family, I won’t be able to lead this family if I don’t deliver my promises.
Although Ruth said that calmly, deep inside, she hated Madeline. Her smile was not convincing at all.
Pleasing Ruth was actually quite simple. The first and most important step was to listen to her and follow her orders,
Being useful only came second
Even though Madeline could be useful, her arrogance and street–smart attitude annoyed Ruth a lot
Ruth was wondering if Madeline was truly a descendant of the Larson family,
