The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Chapter 35

The call was picked up very quickly.

“Maddie, you finally decided to come back.” The voice at the other end sounded refreshing but rebellious and stubborn at the same time. “You know, you’re our little princess in the Phantom Organization. I assume you have suffered enough in the Larson family?”

Madeline replied in exhaustion, “I didn’t plan to return.”

In her previous life, even in death. Madeline had never thought about rejoining the Phantom Organization.

This underground kingdom was something that she could not afford to meddle with.

Once she was in, it was impossible for her to get out.

However, Madeline did not want to be a good person in her current life anymore.

She no longer yearned for her family’s love and affection.

She did nor need it anymore.

“I know you wanted to return to the Larson family and cut ties with your past. The man at the other end tutted. “But if it weren’t because you were trained under the Phantom Organization, you would have died long ago. Your adoptive sister is a ruthless character. If you hadn’t had a narrow escape from death on the day when the Larson family found you, you would have been long gone. The man then sighed heavily

Madeline lowered her eyes and said, “Assign me an identity that will terrify the Larson family. Benjamin will terminate our marriage agreement the day after tomorrow. I want them to realize that I’m no pushover.”

After she hung up the phone, Madeline lay on her bed.

Her expression became darker.

When Madeline was born, she was thrown into an orphanage of a special organization in the capital,

The size of the orphanage was unbelievable.

There were not only local orphans but also orphans of different nationalities. No one knew who the boss really was.

It was a past that she refused to recall.

In short, she survived after a lot of competition and challenges

Therefore, she was never as innocent and harmless as she portrayed herself to be.

She would not have given up everything if the Larson family had not found her that day.

Her stomach disorders did not just happen in the past eight months. She had been suffering from it since she was a child.

After the call, a large net gradually expanded across the city of Acocester during the night.

Countless people were passing on a message that their little princess was back. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

All the brothers in the orphanage were elated by the news.

If it were not because Madeline wanted a second chance in life, they would not be able to stop themselves from going to see

her.

It was 3 am, and a piece of breaking

ng news woke up the whole of Acocester.

[The mysterious CEO of Glorious Group will return from abroad the day true identity in public for the first time! Countless media will attend to interview him!]

ter tomorrow, showing!

The entire Acocester instantly boiled with excitement.

Even Thomas‘ heart trembled when I got a call in the middle of the night.

When Layla heard Thomas‘ excited voice over the phone, she could not help but wake up to find out what was happening.

Thomas looked solemn after hanging up. “Darling, the mysterious CEO of Glorious Group is finally coming! Glorious Group is not just any enterprise. Its prestige is as outstanding as Vanguard Corporation in Acocester. It has always kept a low profile. Almost every popular project is invested in by Glorious Group. I wonder if the mysterious CEO will show up at the airport the day after tomorrow…

Layla’s sleepiness also disappeared when she heard the news.

She was extremely envious of those big corporations. All she wanted was to rise to the top one day so that others could envy her.

“Glorious Group? Honey, then you have to seize the opportunity! He must have been staying abroad all this while, and he’s coming back for the first time! Whoever makes a good impression in front of him, even with little benefit, would be enough for a lifetime!”

Resentment rose in Layla’s heart when she thought of Harley and Henry of the Larson family.

“Our only hope is to make a name for ourselves in Acocester and expand our business to more places! Then, we’ll be able to return to the capital one day! This is the best opportunity for us, she thought.

“Sooner or later, we will take charge of the Larson family!” Although Thomas never said it, he had wanted to surpass Harley and Henry to rid of his shame from many years ago. “18 years ago, Harley and Henry gave us a hard time when my parents passed away. Because of that, you almost lost your life from dystocia. Though you survived, Maddie suddenly disappeared. I was afraid that you would be devastated, so I found an abandoned baby born at the same time, who was named Winnie…”

Thomas sighed heavily. “The misfortune of our family in the past 18 years always has something to do with them.”

Most importantly, they were used to a luxurious lifestyle back then. Since they arrived at Acocester 18 years ago, they did not

do too well either.

Their business could be considered a small enterprise at best.

Compared with Harley and Henry, the difference was as vast as the sea.

“It would be great if we could regain our glory with the help of Glorious Group, but it’s not that easy,” Thomas commented. “Is it that difficult to achieve?” Layla pondered and said, “What if we let Maddie marry Steven? Will that inercase our odds?” “I might as well curry favor with Glorious Group instead Thomas sneered, “Stop dreaming. Do you think someone like Steven would be interested in Maddie? I think even Harley or Henry’s daughter is pot qualified enough to marry into the Wagner family. Not to mention our daughter! She must have met Steven when she joined Vanguard Corporation. Otherwise, based on her status, Maddie wouldn’t have the chance to even talk to him.”

Layla was a little disappointed when she heard this.

Madeline is useless! Not only did she lose Benjamin, she couldn’t even keep Steven! Maybe he’ll dump her after he gets bored of her. I guess we can only rely on Winnie for our future.

Thomas nodded in agreement. “That’s right. If our family gets the chance to return to the capital, with Winnie’s good looks,

she will marry into a wealthy family! It will also be of great help to our family!”

The couple increasingly felt that Winslet should be their real daughter and how embarrassing it was to have Madeline as their biological daughter.

Layla suddenly smacked her head and exclaimed, “If we are meeting the CEO the day after tomorrow, what should we do about Madeline and Benjamin’s wedding cancellation banquet?”

“Let’s split up. You’ll head over to the Moore residence while I wait for the CEO at the airport, Thomas suggested.

Layla agreed.

The next morning, she told Winslet the news.

Winslet was shocked to hear such a piece of big news in Acocester.

Glorious Group was a listed company comparable to Vanguard Corporation.

“If Daddy manages to form a partnership with Glorious Group, does that mean we will have a chance to return to the capital?” Winslet was overjoyed.

She had heard from Layla how glamorous the Larson family in the capital had been since she was a child.

Winslet knew that they would go back to the capital sooner or later.

Thus, she had never thought about getting engaged with anyone in Acocester. After all, she was destined to go to a bigger place in the future.

When she first heard about the plan to partner with Glorious Group, the first thought that came into her mind was that her dream of enhancing her social status was about to come true.

“The wealthy people in the capital must be way better than those in Acocester. Probably in ways that I can’t even imagine.” she thought.

Winslet felt that luck was on her side. She was glad she schemed to get the admission slot from Madeline.

“Once I return to the capital, I’m still a top student from a wealthy family. I’m sure it won’t be too hard for me to get into the social circle of the noble families,” she thought confidently.

“Mom, let’s wait for the good news from Dad. If we succeed this time, our family will be redeemed.”

Layla felt excited too. “Of course, But I’m sure many people are attracted by the opportunity too. After all, this is the first public appearance of the CEO of Glorious Group. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy

At that moment, Madeline slowly came downstairs.

As soon as Winslet saw her, she felt disgusted. “Maddie, did you sleep well last night? You’re going to break off the engagement soon, so you should rest well and keep in good shape before then. You have other choices even if you terminate the marriage agreement with the Moore family.”

Madeline only felt that Winslet’s words of comfort were too hypocritical.

If the Moore family openly terminated their marriage agreement with her, Madeline would never be able to find someone decent to marry in Acocester.

Portunately, Madeline had decided not to live a peaceful life anymore.

“I do hope so.”

Winslet smiled awkwardly when she realized her words did not affect Madeline.

“Madeline is such a stubborn girl! Why is she still faking it when she’s already at the end of her wits? After the engagement cancellation banquet, Madeline’s life would be a laughingstock, and there’s no turning back. However, mine will be different. I have high education, superior family background, and the support of my five brothers. I’m going to have a bright future.” Winslet thought triumphantly.

Winslet said, “Everyone’s destiny is different, don’t you think. Maddie?”
