The Remorseful Brothers (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

Winslet didn’t want to talk to Henry anymore. 

However, she still suppressed her grievance and smiled to maintain her image. “All right, Henry. I know you’ve been in a bad mood recently. It’s okay. I’ll go downstairs first.” 

Layla pointed at Henry and said, “Look at you. Winslet’s so considerate of you. How could you make Winslet unhappy?” 

Henry clenched his hands on the side of his body and said, “I’m sorry, I will try my best to control my temper.” 

Harley had his hair done neatly and wore a suit, making him look elegant and educated. 

He sat on the sofa and saw Winslet go downstairs. “What’s wrong Winnie? Why do you look unhappy?” 

Winslet pursed her lips. “Nothing 

Jacob cared about Winslet the most. 

She was humiliated at the banquet the last time. Yet, when there was finally something worth celebrating, she still had a frown on her face. 

He walked over and said, “Winnie, let’s go. You can sit in my car.” 

“Mom asked me to drive over by myself Winslet forced a smile and continued, “Why don’t you take my car instead?” 

Jacob nodded and followed Winslet outside. 

Harley frowned and looked at Henry. “You should control your emotions instead of throwing a tantrum at Winnie every day 

Henry said, “Maddie…” 

Joel played with the car key in his hand and mocked, “Ha! Do we need to mourn her for three years? Why can’t we still be happy after her death? 

Don’t be too domineering, Henry 

Henry lowered his head as he still remembered what Lucas said. 

Madeline was still alive. 

Sooner or later, he would be able to see her. 

After arriving at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant, Winslet and her family exited the car. 

This restaurant was one of the best in Acocester and had a large manor view. At the luxurious entrance, beautiful women were greeting them. 

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Larson. The banquet is ready. Please come in.” 

Layla nodded. “Have our guests arrived yet!” 

The waitress was stunned. “It seems that there are not many people coming. Maybe they’re still on the way” 

Layla’s heart skipped a beat and she had some bad speculations about it. 

The banquet of the Larson family was on the third floor. 

They went up to the third floor and found no one except for Benjamin and his friends. 

Layla looked at her phone and noticed it was already two o’clock. 

T–This…” she said. 

Thomas also came out of the elevator and frowned. “Did you inform the guests correctly? Why is there no one?” 

Layla became anxious. “I don’t know either. Maybe they will arrive later.” 

Despite saying that, she hurriedly took out her phone and sent a message to the guests through WhatsApp. 

They expected 200 guests, so they prepared a few dozen of tables.

Initially, she feared that less than half of them would be coming. She did not expect that not even a table was fully seated. 

Layla called her friend. “Hello! Lily, why haven’t you c 

come yet!” 

“Oops, I’m in a hurry to buy a gift talk to you later as I’m busy!” 

Hearing this, Layla stared at the phone blankly and asked, “Buy a gift? Maybe… Maybe she thinks that she needs to give Winnie a gift for faring well in the exam.” 

Winslet was delighted. “She’s doing this because of you. You have a good relationship with Lily, so she attaches great importance to it. After all, you only informed her yesterday. She’s always busy with her business. It’s not surprising she only had time to buy a gift now.” 

Layla thought for a while and said, “You have a point. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to be anxious about 

Ding! The elevator doors opened. 

Layla hurriedly looked over. 

Unexpectedly, ten or more students came out of the elevator 

*Winnic, congratulations on holding the enrollment celebration banquet. This is a gift from our class.” 

Winslet took the gift and was about to smile when she saw her rival, Cecilia, the student leader. 

Cecilia said, “Winslet, congratulations. However, you know well if you deserve this spot 

Cecilia snorted and continued, “Steal someone’s credit, and you have to pay back sooner or later.” 

Cecilia had figured it out.

Madeline was the City’s number one. She w 

As for Winslet, she had no grounds to get enrolled at Acocester University. 

One would know something was wrong if one were to think about it. 

The others also cast unusual glances at Winslet 

Winslet was afraid of being embarrassed in front of her father, so she hurriedly led them to the furthest table. 

Cecilia sat down and glanced around. “This Cosmopolitan Restaurant is very expensive. Your family treats you well.” 

Winslet faked a smile. “We are classmates. Today’s a joyous moment for me, so don’t say anything irrelevant,” 

“Are you scared?” Cecilia tutted. 

She couldn’t stand it. Madeline was so hardworking, yet Winslet took over her spot. 

“To be honest, in the year of the 12th Grade, who would know that you, the campus belle, and Made 

Others echoed 

Madeline were biological sisters?” 

“That’s right. Madeline seldom speaks, and she always wears the pair of ragged shoes although it is worn out.” Oscar said, “I remember that she always took the bus 

Lacey also nodded and said, “Yes. Madeline is really hardworking. She was transferred from a school in the countryside at first and was not favored by Mr. Zeigler, 

Cecilia looked at Winslet and said, “You are the prominent young lady, and Madeline is just your stepping stone. There are many unfair things in the world, but I always believe there will be fairness one day“: 

Winslet’s expression darkened. 

She smiled stiffly. “If you are here to bring bad luck to me, you can leave.” 

After saying that, she stopped pretending and went to her parents with a gloomy face. 

Lacey snorted and whispered, “Cecilia, is sidelining her really a good idea?” 

“What’s wrong with that? I’m firm that this spot belongs to Maddie!” 

10:51 AM ₫ 

Chapter 64 

Although they weren’t usually close with Madeline, they competed to achieve good grades in their cohort 

They had another form of friendship. 

Thomas‘ face darkened. “Winslet, have you settled them? Don’t let the guests know that you didn’t get the spot legitimately!” 

Winslet said aggrievedly. “Dad. I’ve settled them. Sorry to make you worry.” 

Thomas snorted coldly. 

“Let’s wait for the guests downstairs,” he said. 

Then he went into the elevator with Layla 

Layla wanted to comfort her daughter but didn’t dare to because her husband was angry. 

Benjamin came over and patted Winslet on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ve asked my father to come here too. There will be many people coming to support you.” 

Winslet sighed with relief. “Benjamin, thank you. Shall we wait downstairs too! I think the guests will be here soon” 

The Larson family walked to the hall on the first floor and waited 

Thomas looked at the road outside with a gloomy face. 

It was empty and no luxury car appeared. 

He picked up his phone and found it was already half past two. 

Every second felt like an eternity. 

He also called several friends in person.
