Madeline didn’t have time to read the script until the evening.
The title was “The Good Old Days“.
It was a historical deana. The heroine was a good student when she was a child but her family couldn’t afford it so she studied with some local young intellectuals
Eventually, she led her villagers to prosperity through hard work
The ups and downs of the heroine’s life were really fascinating
Madeline murmured. “It’s so strange
She stroked her chin. “How could I get a script as good as this?”
She thought something was weird.
Even when she was at the peak of her fame, she had to work very hard to get a role like this one.
She wondered why she was suddenly so lucky,
Madeline called the director, who arranged an audition for her. She decided to be well–prepared.
It was Sunday morning
the door.
Madeline was at home, realing the script, curling up on the sofa when someone knocked on the
Wearing pajamas and slippers, with her hair messily draped over her shoulders, she opened the door. She thought it was not her lucky day as soon as she saw the person outside the door.
Harley was standing at the door, carrying a basket of fruit. He said, “Madeline, have you had breakfast?”
Madeline turned around and walked into the house, letting him in. “No.
“You’re all heading to Japrium for a better life. Why are you all trying to convince me to join you? What are you up to!!
She sat on the sofa and took a sip of water.
Harley smiled gently and put the basket of fruit on the table. “We will be worried if we leave you alone in Acocester.
“We only have one younger sister. You’re the youngest in the family. It’s not safe for you if you’re here all by yourself
“Everything is taken care of in Japrium. You’ll be living in a villa, which is much better than this apartment”
Harley no longer looked lost or sad. Now wearing a decent suit, he smiled calmly and gently.
Returning to Japrium was definitely a great thing for him.
Madeline said, “No need
“I’m doing just fine here.
“Being away from all of you. I might even live a few more years.”
Madeline picked up the glass of water and put the script on the table. Don’t try to persuade me anymore. I’m not going to Japrium with you.
“And let me remind you again, I’m not part of the Larson family anymore”
Harley sighed softly, took a deep breath, and rested his hand on his knee. “Is there really no room for negotiation?
“Once we leave, we might never go back to Acocester.
“Are you sure this is what you want?”
“Or what?” Madeline chuckled, resting her chin on her hand and squinting at Harley, “Do you really think you’re going to help me after moving to Japrium for a better life?
If I need to go to Japrium, I can do it anytime without your help
While they were talking, a man wrapped in a towel walked out of the bathroom.

Chapter 938
Gavin, with a bare chest, was drying his wet hair. Clearly, he had a hot body.
He looked at the people on the couch, puzzled, and then he instantly looked cold. He said, “Get out”
reful living with a guy like this.
Hurley was still a little bit worried. “Madeline, you need to be very careful
sung. Do you think he’s capable enough of guaranteeing you a bright future!
“He’s so young.
“If you.. you will get hurt.”
Madeline had no idea how far Harley’s thoughts had gone.
Madeline added, “Letting you in today doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you. In fact, I will never forgive you.
“I just wanted to tell you. Stop trying different tactics or sending different people to approach me. It’s pointless”
Harley glanced at his watch to check the time.
He said, “We’re going to the airport. They’re waiting for you downstairs.
“You’re not going to see them off!
“Dad and Mom regret it. The five of us regret it too.”
Harley suddenly decided to come clean. He chuckled, “Honestly, sometimes I feel like the house is so empty and I find it hard to fall asleep. overwhelmed with regret.
It feels terrible.
I’m really sorry for hurting you like that.”
Gavin sat next to Madeline and said, “If you’re really sorry, leave now. Madeline can go to Japrium whenever she wants to. It’s not like you’re leaving the planet
“Madeline will go to Japrium sooner or later but she won’t go with you.”
Gavin pointed at Harley, his eyes turning colder. “I really hate you self–centered people”
He knew he could make Madeline happy.
There was no need for a bunch of posers putting on a show here.
Harley said.
“Bur
now.
- “She was hurt and used by all of you. As her brother, I let her down. I didn’t protect her. She has gone through a loc.
I don’t care about those silly rules. If anyone dares to hurt her again, they’ll be in deep trouble.”
Gavin smiled as he glanced to the side with a cold and sharp look
was a stark contrast to his usually charming look,
It was probably who he really was under the surface.
The Larson family was still waiting anxiously in the car downstairs.
Layla sighed, “Why hasn’t Madeline come downstairs yet? Did any of you try to persuade her? Is she really that heartlea?”
“Don’t push her Thomas sighed, “She’s a human being. We have let her down. How can you expect her to open her heart to us!”
Henry stared out of the window in a daze. “She’s not going to come. She decided not to forgive us a long time ago. Stop dreaming about something impossible.”
Henry felt a pang of sadness when he said this.
It wasn’t long before Harley
ey walked downstairs.
He got into the car, looking calm but also a little bit sad. “She’s not coming.
Harley said, “She’s well protected now.”
Deep down, Harley thought even though Gavin seemed carefree, he was really just a young guy But he was so powerful that Harley didn’t dare no fully confrom him
He could support hier.
Chapter 238
The truth was that she wasn’t the little girl who needed family love anymore.
She was now closely protected by those powerful people.
Harley swallowed hard and said, “She’s next level. It’s time to accept it. She’s left us and become strong and independent.”
Now someone else was willing to protect the girl who they didn’t cherish.
Now the girl who they didn’t cherish was important to someone else.
They could no longer make her care about them.
Layla sighed deeply, Forget it Everyone has their own path. If she doesn’t want to go to Japrium, it’s her loss. It’s how her life is meant to be.
“We’ll go to Japrium without her. If she changes her mind in the future, she can join us then.
“She’s still young. She doesn’t know what the Top Ten Families mean. She thinks she has enough here. She’s short–sighted”
