Thomas only figured out what had happened after asking around.
Winslet was so bent on going abroad that she took all the money she could. Before she left, the destroyed Joel too.
Layla asked cautiously. “Honey, can we go look for her? Can we get our money back!”
“Wake up.” Thomas‘ gaze was cold. “If she’s capable of framing Madeline so many times before, she won’t show us mercy now. We need to sell our family property to secure things for Joel. Otherwise, we’ll only be dragged into bankruptcy and have the court auction our property“
Then, someone called. Annoyed, Thomas put them on speakerphone. The person on the phone announced, “Hello, this is Flight Unit 362. As we can’t contact Joel, please tell him he has been dismissed from the army due to debt charges and to complete the cancellation procedures immediately. Otherwise, we’ll issue legal notice
Thomas hung up and shut his eyes in agony.
He said, “Because of Winslet, Harley lost his college professorship, and Henry decided to leave the family. Also, Jarob hates us and has been hurting. himself. Then, Joel gets expelled from his flight unit because he owes 2 million dollars. Now, Lucas is missing too. He’s even changed his number”
Thomas looked at Layla. “Is it really worth it for the family to break up like thi
Feeling heartache, Layla apologized. “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been biased toward Winslet and helped her. I hurt Madeline, so I got my karma–Winslet hurt me too.”
There was no way Layla didn’t regret it. She regretted it so much she was kicking herself.
Recently, she tried contacting Madeline daily to no avail. She only chose Madeline now because Winslet proved herself to be bad. Madeline was never her first choice.
Thomas sighed. “Let’s divorce.”
you divorcing me just because of the debt!
Layla trembled. “What did you say?
y? Are you
Thomas had made up his mind. While waving, he promised, “You don’t have to bear any debts. I’ll compensate everything. Thats at least better than you becoming penniless. I’ve been thinking about mending my ways and returning to the capital, but it hasn’t worked out”
When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly seemed to have aged. “Perhaps I really should accept my fate.” It’s a shame, I’ve been scheming for half of my life, but all I did was hurt my biological daughter. What’s worse is that I let outsiders get what they want, he thought.
“Wait. Didn’t you get a check for 2 million dollars from Winsler? Can’t we use that to pay our debis Layla questioned.
The principal is 2 million dollars, and the interest is 3 million dollars. If Thomas continued, he knew he’d be more pissed off, so he ceased speaking entirely. After selling the family property, there will only be a little bit of money left. We’ll see what to do then, he thought
For days on end, it was overcast at the Larson residence.
Madeline was surprised to see the Larson family selling their property while being on set with the film crew for the last day of
filming

“Please, don’t mind it. Just think of it as the food you bought yourself. I’m just an errand boy” Lucas pleaded.
Lucas joined this ɓlm crew just to appease Madeline and make her pay attention to him.
However, Madeline didn’t come here often, so Lucas could only seize every bit of time to wait on her. He only hoped she would see him o

eye to eye.
his job well and needed to keep working
To him, he was only doing what Madeline had done for him. ‘Madeline was a girl who once put in effort for me without complaint, so why can’t I do that for her as a man? If I can repair our bond, it doesn’t matter if it takes one year, ten years, or even 100 years–Ed still try, he thought
Annoyed, the assistant director glared at Lucas. “What are you waiting for? I asked you to remake the scene! If you keep wandering around like this every day, you can get the fuck out of the crew!”
Lucas was powerless. There was no assistant in the film crew, so the assistant director had always ordered him around.
Thus, he hurried to work. Despite starving, he didn’t have time to drink any water.
He clenched his fists and thought, “When Madeline was a background actor, she must’ve been far more aggrieved. I can persevere through this. Madeline wouldn’t have ever anticipated that her hatred and disgust for Lucas would deepen his fighting spirit. It was ludicrous.
Sitting in the break room. Madeline listened to her subordinates discuss the Larson family.
“Is that so? Winslet finally got to them,” one said.
“I know, right? It’s so satisfying,” another chimed in.
Madeline rubbed her palms together. “Ask the loan shark to hurry. Don’t give the Larson family a break–especially not Joel. Feel free to scare him from time to time, too.”
Her subordinates agreed.
Then, Madeline switched on the locating software on her phone and saw Winslet’s location. She smirked. “Put on your wings and fly away Otherwise, I’ll catch you.” Then, she propped her chin up, wearing a genuine and malicious smile.
Madeline had taken to great pains to arrange for Winslet to be caught and hoped Winslet would like her special gift. However, she didn’t know Wesley had long since arranged for Winslet’s kidneys to be harvested in Manchernius.
Even if she had exhausted all her tricks, she’d still lose in Wesley. After all, he was a professional
