Just then, the security guards rushed out. The leader, full of aggression, asked, “Who’s causing trouble here!”
Vanessa pointed at Gavin and Eugene.
However, seeing the smiling Eugene, the security guard immediately backed down. “Boss.”
Eugene waved his hand. “Go back to work. I was just playing a little prank on them. Do not disturb us without my permission.”
The security guards glanced at Monica, then at Vanessa, and left without hesitation. They thought. ‘Boss is here. Why would we need to get involved? Mr. Sharp is respected by everyone. Pissing him off isn’t a good idea.
They left quickly.
Vanessa felt a sense of despair and looked at Madeline. “Say something!”
Madeline only had eyes for Joel and ignored them all. Besides, she trusted Gavin and was sure that he knew what he was doing.
Joel pursed his lips, his voice already trembling with shame, unable to continue. He clenched his fists and said, “I have not degraded myself. I have a job. It was just a misunderstanding.
Joel didn’t know why he felt the need to explain. Perhaps he was worried Madeline would think he was unscrupulous for money. He didn’t want to be looked down upon, especially by Madeline.
Madeline nodded indifferently. There are many misunderstandings in the world. You all believed in Winslet back then and treated me as less than family, humiliating and bullying me. Now that you’re in the Larson residence, I’m sure you’re probably not faring any better. You’re experiencing the same feelings I had back then. That’s why you’re apologizing, but sorry, I don’t accept your apology.”
Madeline curled her lips, having anticipated what their life in the Larson residence would be like. She lifted her gaze. “I will never forgive you all.” Joel’s gaze dropped as he exhaled deeply. Seeing Madeline’s calm demeanor, he felt a lump in his throat. “Yes, you’re right. We don’t deserve your forgiveness. But still, thank you for helping me our
Joel watched her standing in the light, radiating an undeniable brilliance. It was hard not to be drawn to her.
She was indeed excellent. Back then, when she returned to the Larson residence, she was strong and independent. Even after being framed countless times by Winslet and bullied by her family, she remained resilient. She got into a great school, became the master of her own life, and no longer had to rely on the Larson family.
Gradually, the Madeline he used to dislike the most had become so excellent that he felt somewhat overshadowed. “If I hadn’t returned to the Larson residence, Madeline, I wouldn’t have known how harsh I was on you. Prejudice and indifference are like knives, leaving deep scars on your heart.”

Joel no longer lived the high life. Witnessing his family’s struggles due to the money Winslet swindled them out of, he gradually learned to be
He now understood his parents better, a and no longer carried himself with coldness and arrogance.
Madeline found his words somewhat amusing. After all, Joel had never bothered to talk to her, and when he did, it was usually with hostility. His sudden modesty made her uncomfortable. “Don’t be overly sentimental. I didn’t intend to help you out; I just dislike Monica. She annoyed me at the mountain retreat before, and after I beat her up, we had a falling out. Now she’s blocking my way again. It’s annoying.
With her arms crossed, Madeline ignored Joel and turned to Gavin. “Let’s go, Gavin. Anyway, they are guests at Eugene’s club. We should at least show thein some respect
Eugene chuckled softly, finding it somewhat amusing, “Thank you for considering that, Maddie:

It wasn’t until the three of them left that Vanessa glanced at Joel. “Look at what your sister has done! Get out of here. You made me annoyed!”
Mandy was surprised, “Is that arrogant woman Joel’s

s were heavy, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.
A white car approached. Mandy rolled down the window and said, “Get into the car, Joel. I’ll give you a ride. I apologize for my jokes earlier. I just couldn’t stand the way Monica uses money to insult people. I come from an educated family and I’m not the same as them.”
Joel remembered Mandy’s disdain and sharpness towards him. “No need. Thank you”
Mandy smiled and said, ‘Do you want to know who those men with Madeline are? I do. It seems there’s a little misunderstanding between you, but you’re her brother, so if you know more about her, you can clear up the misunderstanding. The people around her are quite powerful.”
Joel paused and stared at Mandy. He indeed felt that the people around Madeline were powerful and mysterious, but he didn’t know who they
were.
At the entrance of the club, Monica took a while to recover. She held her neck with tears welling up in her eyes, feeling both scared and humiliated. “I will not let Madeline go easily. She’s so annoying!”
Monica couldn’t stand being easily humiliated because that meant that Madeline didn’t give a damn about her family status. She thought, ‘How dare they? Did they know who my parents are? Their disrespect for her was killing her.
Monica said, “Don’t stop me, Vanessa. I’m not just going to make Madeline pay for it. I’m also going to kill the man who laid a hand on me! Who are they to beat me?”
Vanessa looked at her disheveled appearance, feeling helpless. “As far as I know, Monica, even n just a playboy, he has power”

Vanessa didn’t know why Madeline was always surrounded by people who couldn’t be easily messed with. Last time it was Calch, and this time, it was Eugene. She thought, ‘No wonder Dad and Mom wanted to bring her home and use her!
