My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

Winslet mediated gently, "Maddie, you really should cherish Benjamin. I'm sure you know how many women out there wish to be engaged to him but can only dreain"

She deliberately displayed a look of envy mixed with disappointment. "You will definitely understand and take good care of Benjamin once you're a little older and wiser. Besides, we only rushed back from the mountain retreat today upon hearing that he's here," Winslet gazed at Benjamin dismally, her eyes brimming with sorrow that tugged at one's heartstrings.

I made him feel sorry for her.

Winslet.

In truth, he genuinely wished to be t together r with w

However, his family demanded that he marry a true prominent young lady.

While Winslet was the Larson family's daughter, she was a product of a switch-up.

The real daughter of the Larson family was Madeline.

Benjamin saw Winslet's gaze and assumed she had feelings for him as well. His heart clenched, and he felt utterly upset.

"Winnie, that's enough. This has nothing to do with you."

"But But I don't want to see you be wronged, she replied hesitantly, with heartache written all over her face.

Their intimate interaction did not escape Madeline's eyes.

It made her feel as

were a homewrecker who got in the way of their relationship.

"Would things even get to this state if Winslet actually has eyes for Benjamin?" she mused.

Madeline knew Winslet all too well. "With all your fussing over him, it sounds almost as if a mother hen is clucking over her chicks," she mocked.

At this moment, Anne happened to come out of the kitchen, clueless about what happened.

"I've just started making some mushroom soup. It'll take some time before it's ready to be served."

Madeline smirked and waved her hand as she made her way toward the stairs.

Meanwhile, Winslet's expression turned dark and gloomy, looking exceptionally unpleasant.

Layla sighed. "Mr. Moore, please don't be mad. It's no secret that Maddie has always been rude and uncivilized... I'll let Winnie stay to keep you company. After all, you two got along well before, right? Oh, is this the necklace you bought for her! It's lovely Benjamin hurriedly comforted Winslet, "Winnie, let's not be angry. Here, take a look at the gift I got you"

The latter saw the necklace worth 36,000 dollars and immediately fell deeply in love with it.

She recognized its brand, but her family wouldn't buy it for her at will as it was exceedingly costly.

The gorgeous jewelry sparkled brightly under the light, naturally contrasting with the glass necklace on the side that had been unboxed.

Winslet noticed it and intentionally pointed out. This precious?"

"This necklace is so pretty, but wouldn't Maddie be furious that you gifted me something so

"She has one too." Benjamin had completely disregarded Madeline now. "Winnie, I specially ordered this necklace from abroad, as it's still not available locally. Try it on. I'm certain it'll suit you perfectly."

Her eyes roved over the other necklace of inferior quality, and her smile brightened even more.

"Sure enough. Madeline only deserves such cheap goods, she thought.

"I like it very much. Thank you, Benjamin,"

Madeline took in the duo's interaction from the corner of the stairs with an indecipherable look in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why they decided to rope her into their relationship and toy with her when they made the perfect pain...

Just then, the fifth sibling. Lucas Larson, came upstairs with a drink in hand. "Tsk, tsk. Jealousy surely does make one hideous and twisted. Which part of you from head to toe can compare with Winnie? It's normal that she is more lovable than you," He blatantly gave Madeline a once-over and spat out the words unkindly, "If I were you, I'd just find a wall to bang my head against to death lest I remain an eyesore here."

She looked toward Lucas. "How nosy, I heard you gaming at night. You sounded like a complete noob"

She chuckled before adding coldly. "If I were you, I'd simply quit lest 1 make a fool out of myself!"

"Come again!"

Lucas squeezed the bottle in his hand until it became out of shape while an air of hostility formed around him.

Abang sounded as he hurled it at the wall beside Madeline. Then, he grabbed her collar with one hand and pressed her roughly against the wall. glowering at her with his wolf-like, enraged eyes.

"Don't think I will let you off solely because your last name is Larson! I've never thought of you as family. So, don't try to get close to me, understand? Just because Winnie can joke with me doesn't mean you can. Who in the world do you think you are?" The man was seriously bad-tempered.

rtacademy.

Lucas was a singer who studied at an elite art ac

But alas, he was not serious with his work and spent his days gaming with e-sports anchors instead, only to perform so terribly in every match.

Had a big shot not used an alternate account to carry him in-game, he would have long been a laughingstock.

Regardless, many still ridiculed Lucas and called him a loser.

It was no surprise, then, that this was a sore spot for him.

He could take anything anyone threw at him except when they ridiculed him for being a noob gamer. That would undoubtedly set him off.

"I'm merely stating facts" Madeline's long lashes fluttered slightly as she taunted, "Since you're so capable of bullying a girl like me, how about we play a one-to-one match? What kind of man are you to behave so timidly in-game yet get physically violent with me!" In actuality, she was very good-looking.

It was just that her former thick bangs and cumbersome, ugly black-rimmed glasses had concealed her facial features.

Now

that she had a refreshing hairstyle, she looked rather attractive when she raised her eyes and derided others.

"Don't think you can lecture me after believing hearsay griped Lucas.

However, Madeline did not glean her information from hearsay

She

was only so clear about his gaming skills because she was the big shot who had carried him with her alternate account!

Yet, Winslet had stolen her account and taken her credit.

Madeline's eyes darkened while she looked at Lucas' exquisitely handsome face that could have belonged to a boyband member. She couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Everything she had secretly done to please her brothers only ended up causing her to be trampled on mercilessly.

She made

up

her mind not to be so kind this time.

Madeline slapped the hand that grabbed her clothes away. "Don't think I'm the person I was before, either. Go ahead and try me

Lucas gritted his teeth in rage but ultimately couldn't bring himself to strike woman.

He snorted. "What do you even know, Madeline? Has a country bumpkin like you ever touched a computer? Do you even have any idea what online

games are!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeals. You're the expert, all right?" She glanced at him icily, turned around, and left.

Lucas' gaze remained trained on the back of that thin figure, and he felt even more repulsed by Madeline.

He wished for nothing more than to send her back to the countryside to prevent her from being such an eyesore here.

The man laughed in exasperation "How pretentious. You acted weak and pitiful before yet bullied Winnie behind our backs. What tricks do you. have up your sleeves now? Anyhow, it won't change the fact that you have a malicious heart!" Madeline halted in her tracks and lowered her gaze as a dark look flashed in her eyes.

"A malicious heart?" she repeated to herself.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She then chuckled self-deprecatingly. There's nothing I can do if that's what you think."

After returning to his room, Lucas punched his computer desk furiously,

He couldn't help the frustration that arose at the thought of Madeline's gaze.

Perhaps he had gotten used to her cautious ingratiation for the past eight months as well as picking on her.

Now that she no longer sucked up to him, he felt ill at ease instead.
