Chapter 14
thinking about? You don't love me anymore, do you! You're being so
Windei beld her chin and said with dissatisfaction. Henry, what are you this
Henry looked at the angry Winslet in front of him.
He was slightly annoyed that Madeline's presence had managed to influence him.
"Winnie, go to the car dealership and choose whichever car you like. I'll give it to you as a gift for university:
Winslet was overjoyed. "Really!"
"Your brother loves you
the
most. How could he not! Silly cluld" Layla said.
Madeline came clownstairs reluctantly
She sat at the eilge of the table.
Upon seeing her, Layla felt irritated.
"Such an eyesore, she thought
If Madeline were half as good as Winslet, Layla wouldn't hate her so much.
Winslet deliberately said, "Maddie, I have good news for you. Tim going to Acocester University next month. Henry and Mom are giving me a car as a gift Maddie, since you don't have a driver's license, I'll take you and my friends out for a ride once we buy the car Layla smiled awkwardly. "Why would you take her? Don't embarrass yourself in front of your friends,
Madeline had just picked up the fork but stiffened at those words.
"Madeline got into Accester University, while Winslet got into a vocational school."
Her eyes were cold. "How many times do I need to remind you? It seems unnecessary to celebrate your advancement. After all, I won't agree to give up my spot," she said.
"You... Why are you so stubborn? Don't you need any money from your family? How are we going to treat your grandfather's illness! You can't be this selfish!" Layla exclaimed in anger.
Madeline sneered at her words, "My grandfather didn't get a single penny from the Larson family. If we're calculating it this way, then give me back every cent 1 earned from my part-time jobs. I worked hard for that money. It wouldn't even be enough for you all to buy a bag. There's no need for this, is there!"
Layla frowned when she recalled what she had done.
However, she would never admit to it. "Stop spouting nonsense. Your grandfather and the others are just too greedy. I don't even know how much money they've taken from our family. They're deliberately trying to gain your sympathy. This kind of malicious people will face retribution in the future!"
Madeline put down her utensils.
She left immediately.
"Look at your sister, Henry, I can't persuade her anymore. To think she'd talk back to me because of two outsiders! I went through the hardship of carrying her for ten months and giving birth. If I had known, I wouldn't have endured that suffering!" Layla sighed. "Mom, don't be angry. I'll always listen to you, Winslet took the opportunity to say sweet words.
for that ungrateful person!"
Layla fell for her act. "Luckily, I still have a thoughtful daughter like Winnie. I could care less fort
Madeline left the house and took a taxi to the bank
There were many people at the bank at this time. She waited for 20 minutes before her number was called.
She took her card to exchange a check.
Hello, I'd like to exchange this check
"Just a moment," Ivy said, glancing at Madeline several times.
"A little girl, dresseil sa shabbily, holding a 100-thousand-dollar check. Is it fake? she thought in disclain.
Ufter some thought, Ivy said, "I apologize. We'll need the manager's approval for such a large amount of money. Please take a seat."
The teller then got up and went to look for the manager.
francis heard the teller's words and came over
He was the manager of Calla Bank
He looked at Madeline with a faint smile.
Madeline felt a little suspicious. "Hello, can I have this check exchanged now?" she asked.
Francis gave the check in his hand a slight shake, his tone less than pleasant. "The check is genuine, but... how did you come by this check! Do I ave to involve the authorities before you're willing to confess?"
Madeline was shocked. She pursed her lips and said nothing
vy sneered, acting high and mighty as if she had seen through Madeline's plan.
That's right. This is a check from the Zimmerman family. How could someone like you have relations with Mr. Zimmerman! Who'd believe you? 'm telling you, Mr. Zimmerman was in a car accident and is in the hospital. You must have stolen this check, right? You look so demure and quiet. 1 didn't expect you to be so despicable
Ivy's tone was full of disgust and contempt
Francis waved a hand and said, "What's the point of saying so much to her? Call the security guard to arrest her. We'll know when the police arrive."
The people around them heard Francis' words.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
They immediately began to point and gesture rudely at Madeline.
"Oh my, how can someone be like this!"
"She looks pretty.
It turns out she's a thief."
"You can never judge a book by its cover. She stole a check for 100 thousand dollars. She's definitely going to end up in jail now
"Disgusting. How shameless, to actually steal things!"
Madeline clenched her Ests. "I didn't. Do you have any evidence?"
Francis was
was amused. "Do you have any evidence that the check is yours? You can call the Zimmerman family now"
Of course, it was impossible for Madeline to contact the Zimmerman family.
Just then, someone recognized Madeline.
He pulled Francis aside and whispered, "Mr. Underwood, this is Mr. Moore's fiancée. She came here before"
Upon hearing this, Francis' brows furrowed. The situation had become complicated.
"Ivy, don't call the police for now. Let me make a phone call. Keep an eye on her
Initially, Francis had the intention of impressing Kevin since this involved the Zimmerman family.
However, he didn't expect to pull Benjamin into the situation as well.
Madeline hated being slandered. She already faced such situations at home.
Now, she sat on a chair, the surrounding people looking at her disdainfully. Her expression soured with each passing second
Her fists were clenched rightly, and her clothes were wrinkled from how tightly she grabbed them.
Soon, two people arrived.
"Madeline, why are you constantly causing trouble? Benjamin was livid, especially since this time involved stealing "You're a prominent young lady. Do you have to steal? You're such an embarrassment.
"Maddie, what's wrong with you." Winslet looked worried,
"Benjamin, you don't know this, but my mother said this morning that she'd buy me a car worth 100 thousand dollars as a gift. I'm guessing Madlie might have gone astray because of that. Please don't blame her. She was momentarily misguided. It wasn't intentional"
Benjamin looked at Madeline and said, "I remember one time during summer camp when I was injured. You were just a little girl, but you carried me on your back and walked for over six miles to the hospital. Madeline, I thought you were a kind girl at that time. How did you become like this? Is it because you're jealous of Winnie"
Madeline sat on the stool, her slender legs touching the ground slightly.
She lowered her head, her long dark hair softly scanered on her shoulders.
She was thin. Without her thick bangs and black-rimmed glasses, she'd be a beauty.
When she didn't speak, she looked a little weak.
"Maddie" Benjamin's heart softened. "Don't worry. I won't let you have a record.
As long as Madeline was sensible like Winslet and submitted to him, it would be easy for him to handle today's matter.
