Madeline knew that Gavin was half–joking. “Alright, I promise you from today on, I’ll follow you closely so the Williams family back at you. We can even call an ambulance for each other if we’re together.”
Gavin laughed and put his arm around Madeline’s shoulder. “I promise you, Maddie, with me around, you won’t get hurt.”
He thought, So what if the Williams family has connections in the martial arts circle! I fought my way out of bloody battles and am not scared of

Eugene cleared his throat. “Don’t you think I’m in danger too. Maddier After all, the incident happened at my place. Would the Williams family just skip me!”
Madeline stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Well… We’re all an danger. It’s safest to stay in the villa”
Eugene pondered. “There are too many men in the villa, How could it be safe there?!

It was a quiet night. The warm yellow light gave Thomas‘ old house a cozy feel. Although the furniture was new, The yard had minimal greenery and poor soundproofing, and the residents were a mixed bag. Besides that, it was decent enough. Layla put a plate of fruit on the coffee table. “Have some fruit and don’t be so upset. I know Ruth is pushing you, but we can Layla also knew how serious the matter was. She tried to reach Madeline but failed to contact her. She didn’t even know where she was. It would be

ignore her.
Thomas sat on the couch, watched TV, and sighed, “If it gets unbearable, we might as well go back to Acocester, Anyway, life here isn’t any better. Layla frowned. “It’s easier said than done. Our house in Acocester has been sold, and our money has been spent here. How can we go back! We need money and a place in Acocester“”
Moreover, they had already lost face in Acocester. Even if life in the bustling Japriums was tough, she would rather stay here.
“What’s so good about being subject to others here? Thomas was very troubled.
He disliked dealing with the Larson family. Their talk was always filled with sarcasm and pressure. If Madeline hadn’t been involved, it wouldn’t be so bad. However, now that she was, Thomas was uneasy and reluctant to do what Ruth told him.
Thomas slapped his thigh. The Larson Family just wants Maddie back, but it’s impossible!”
“We need to find a way out. Everything is negotiable” Layla said anxiously, “We’ve been here so long and endured a lot of hardships and insults. If we decide to leave, we should at least get our shares of the stock. Otherwise, what’s the point of coming here?”
This couple was again upset over this matter, and the boys didn’t interject. They had got used to this.
The sound of the front door unlocking came from the hallway. Joel had arrived home, his face stern as he walked in without greeting anyone.
“Why are you back already and looking like that, Joel?” Layla frowned, greeting him. “You didn’t leave Vanessa alone there, did you? She’s the only daughter of your uncle and is treated like a princess. Even though they have a son studying abroad, they still spoil her very much. Building a good relationship with her means building one with your uncle’s family.
“Can you chut up?” Joel glared at her, suppressing the anger in his heart and softening his tone. “Vanessa has already left. Something happened on the way, so I came back by myself”
“What happened?” Layla was puzzled “You didn’t offend her, did you?”
Joel didn’t feel like explaining. “I surely did

She thought, I’m so frustrated with Madeline, who seems to ignore our difficulties and keeps causing trouble, making us humiliated by Ruth
Layla sneered and said. “Good for her. She got away with hitting someone. Now we have to wait to be bullied by the Larson family again.”
Joel looked at Layla and frowned. You don’t understand it.”
“What do I need to understand? The facts are clear, aren’t they? She did this every tim
just to get back at us!” said Layla.
Joel wanted to tell Layla that she thought too much. Given Madeline’s current status, she didn’t have time or mood to get back at them. If she really wanted revenge, their whole family would have been finished by now.
Mandy had already told him how formidable Eugene was, and he felt helpless.
Harley sighed and said. “Maddie has already cut ties with us completely, Mom. Why are you still blaming her? What’s done cannot be undone. It seems like Vanessa was deliberately provoking Maddie. Otherwise, she wouldn’t waste her time dealing with people who were at peace with her.” “When did you get to know her so well, Harley? I’m her mother, and of course, I know what kind of person she is. Layla cursed Madeline in her heart “We have suffered because of her. She’s been living off us all this time. If it weren’t for me giving birth to her, she wouldn’t have lived so happily!
“We did wrong her in the past and I admit that!” Layla felt very annoyed and frustrated. “But we’ve let bygones be bygones, and we’ve repeatedly apologized to her. We ve shown her our sincerity yet she refuses to forgive us. She’s truly an ungrateful bratt
