Layla was determined to return to the Larson family to continue to enjoy the luxurious life of a rich lady.
She was only a step away from success.
Thomas, seeing that his wife was so anxious, couldn’t help

Layla didn’t think Thomas’s words made sense at all.
She said, “Let’s go. It’s getting late. Vanessa is still waiting for us at the airport..
“All our luggage is already checked in. There’s no turning back now.
“Once we’re back in Japrium, we can start fresh”
Lucas wasn’t very pleased. He didn’t like relying on others.
After all, he knew the Larson family was his enemy, with a feud from a long time ago.
He couldn’t forgive what the Larson family had done just because they helped him.
Lucas said, “I don’t want to go back to Japrium,”
Layla sailed cheerfully. “Lucas, my silly boy, if you return to japrium, you won’t need to work anymore. You’ll be the young m family.
“Enough. Let’s not war

The car drove straight to the airport.
Madeline watched the car drive away standing upstairs
Gavin was behind her. He wrapped his long arms around her slender waist, whispering in her ear affectionately. “Madeline, don’t you feel reluctant or resentful
“Why should I feel that way? Why?” Madeline crossed her arms and turned to him, puzzled. “You can’t possibly think I still care about the Larson family, right!
“Stop kidding.
Madeline chuckled, “They think going back to Japrium means a better life. Clearly, they don’t really know the Larson family.”
Gavin lifted his index finger and stroked her chin. “Wow! So you know a lot about the Larson family?”
Madeline said. “A little, not a lot
She had only seen the Larson family a few times before but she already figured out what kind of people they really were.
They would treat anyone useless to them like rubbish.
The next day, at the Larson residence, Ruth was sitting in the main seat with a stern face. Laura poured her a cup of tea.
Laura said, “Ma’am, it’s still a bit wet in the morning. Some hot tea will keep you warm.
at was a restless night for her.
Ruth wasn’t in the mood to have tea. She sighed. Last night was a
Asking Thomas and his family to return to Japrium was a decision that she made reluctantly.
Everyone knew Thomas’s daughter was exceptional and somewhat mysterious. It was better to keep her close than to let her wander freely far away from her.
All they needed was to return to Japrium and have a better life.
But it costed a lot after all.
Moreover, Wesley was trouble!
Il Wesley dated in defy her again, she certainly wouldn’t show mercy to him
for this house. Both was the leader. She had the final say and no one could defy her

Ruthinally planned to ignore them on their first day back in Japrium.
But now, she decided to see them to assert dominance over them and remind them that Japrium was nothing like Acocester, where they could do. as they pleased
Conner sat down beside Ruth and said, “Ruth, why are you waiting here so carly? You’ll be tired.
“I might be a while before they arrive here. Why don’t you go back to sleep? I’ll wake you up when they
y arrive here.”
“No need. I’m old but not useless” Ruth said slowly, waving her hand. “I never liked Wesley’s wife and she’ll be back. I need to give her a lesson

re of this,”
Ruth said. “Tiana as the lady of the house, you need to take care
Tiana nodded. “Buth, don’t worry”
Conner glanced at his wife, feeling torn. Right now, the future of Thomas and his family was uncertain. If Tiana offended Thomas or his family, it might not be good. But they couldn’t meet Ruth’s expectations if they just ignored this issue.
Tiana saw it differently. Her daughter was publicly humiliated because of Thomas after a minor quarrel. It was a terrible humiliation for a lady from Japrium.
Thomas might have been met with some insulting words, but Vanessa was beaten up! Tiana couldn’t suppress her anger at all when thinking about
this.
Thinking about what Vanessa had suffered, Tiana decided to teach Thomas and his family a lesson to revenge on her daughter.
Ruth tumed to Henry and his family. “Penny, you handle business just like any other capable man. You’re talented.”
“You will figure out what positions we should arrange for Thomas and his family.”
Penny nodded with an expressionless face.
She thought, “Harley and his family do the least yet enjoy the most because he is Ruth’s favorite and Tiana’s family’s power.
“We are stuck in the middle, not enjoying the wealth of the family the most while working the hardest. The others are all taking advantage of us. “We end up doing all the shitty jobs. So unfair!
Penny looked like a stern and powerfid businesswoman but inside, she was quite emotional and sensitive.
After all, Ruth ran the house with an iron fist. No one dared to challenge her.
If anyone dared to defy Ruth, he might end up like the unlucky guy Thomas who was kicked out by her years ago. She had ignored him ever since then..
If it hadn’t been for Thomas’s wonderful daughter, his life would have remained the same.
Ruth then turned to Lincoln and his family,
Lincoln couldn’t help but get nervous. No one cared about him at home. He failed at everything, living off the family’s dividends. He spent most of his time eating, drinking, and fooling around without a purpose in life.
Was Ruth going to assign him any tasks now?
Lincoln was anxious last night. One useless person in a family was enough. He was worried that the money of the family wouldn’t be enough for so many people.
Lincoln said, “Just tell me what you want me to do, Grandma. I follow your instructions,”
A flattering smile appeared on his haggard face.
“What can you do, anyway!” Ruth looked at Lincoln’s wife, Bella. Tnever liked you much. You’re just an actress who entertains people. Not a respectable job.”
Ruth continued, “But at least you’ve learned the rules over the years. Your task is to teach that bitch manners,”
Bella looked a bit embarrassed because she felt humiliated. She said, “Okay, Ruth. I’ll try my best to take care of Layla?
“Tam not talking about Layla, Ruth sneered. “Harley’s wife will deal with her. I want you to handle Madeline
