Chapter 57
Benjamin looked at Madeline from afar across the crowd.
He thought. “This woman looks the same as Madeline, who just passed away. But her behavior is completely different. She’s bossy, arrogant, and disregards others.”
Benjamin clenched his hists tightly.
He approached Madeline step by step. In his senses, he knew his inexplicable action was a mistake.
However, he could not hold it in anymore emotionally
The more he looked at her, the more he felt he was looking at Madeline.
Benjamin really regretted it and felt so depressed. He pondered, “I hope for a chance to start all over again. I’ll never let Madeline die in pain and despair.”
Caleb sat on the stool and made way for Benjamin.
Winslet looked up and stared right at Benjamin.
Benjamin gulped. “Hello, Alina.”
Madeline lowered her head and smiled. “Hi“)
Benjamin wanted to get to know her more, but such a woman already had a strong belonging.
He felt a shiver down his spine under Caleb’s scrutinizing gaze.
If he acted recklessly, he would be the next one to be dragged away.
“I’ll be in Acocester from now on. Hopefully, I can collaborate with you if there’s an opportunity. It’s truly admirable that your career has been so successful at such a young age.
Madeline replied, “Perhaps.”
Benjamin hesitated. He looked at Alina, and she reminded him of Madeline more and more.

A voice appeared in his mind as he stared at Alina. “If I had given Maddie more time back then or treated her better, would she be so beautiful like
this woman too?”
“Can I add you on WhatsApp?” he asked.
Madeline displayed a playful smile. “Of course. Since you’re the second son of the Moore family, we probably will interact with each other quite often in the future”
“Thank you!” Benjamin added her on WhatsApp and added the nickname [Alina.]
There were many photos of Alina in foreign countries on her Instagram, which showed she was

The last message remained at the last time he urged Madeline to agree to cancel their engagement.
There were only a few photos on Madeline’s Instagram. The girl still looked obedient and attractive.
Unfortunately, she no longer existed.

Regina was very annoyed. Just now, she went to great lengths to ease her relationship with Willow and Brunswick!
When she turned around, she noticed Benjamin went over again as if he was possessed

Regina continued helplessly, “And I really don’t understand you. When Madeline was alive, you only paid attention to Winsler. Now, Madeline is dead, but you think about her again!” She was dying to know what Benjamin was thinking.
However, seeing his pale face, she hesitated to criticize him anymore.
Benjamin looked at Regina and said, “Mom, she’s so similar to Maddie. When I look at her, I feel like Maddie is still alive.”
Regina sighed. “You’ll move on sooner or later.”
Glorious Group’s conference attracted a lot of attention.
After the conference ended, many people were talking about the beautiful CEO and her influential elder brother.
Undoubtedly, Madeline immediately became the rising star in the upper class. She was a highly sought–after new talent.
After that night, Acocester’s circle of influence would have another capable member.
Those people were still discussing matters related to Glorious Group after they left.
At the mention of Glorious Group, they could not help but demean the Larson family for looking for trouble and Caleb’s tactics.
The next day at the Larson residence, when Layla was having breakfast, she could not help but frown when seeing Winslet bandaged up.
She instantly became worried. “Winnie, what happened to you? Didn’t you join the conference last night? When did you all come back? How did you end up like this? Did you get involved in a car accident?”
Winslet was about to speak, but Thomas spoke first.
“Winnie accidentally fell last night. Don’t wear high–heels in the future. It’s unsafe for you.”
Layla replied, “Oh my! Why are you so careless? Be careful from now on.”
Winslet felt aggrieved. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Layla was interested in asking Winslet about the conference.
Unfortunately, Winslet had no memory of the conference. There was nothing besides being beaten and humiliated. She refused to recall it at all.
“Mom, stop it,” said Winslet.
Layla noticed Winslet was in a bad mood. “Okay, okay, okay! I won’t ask you anymore.
Thomas gazed at Winslet, and his thoughts became more intense. “Winslet used to be good in everything. Now, it seems she can’t do anything. While Alina, who’s rumored to have no parents and grew up with her brother only, can interact with the business tycoons pleasantly and elegantly. If Alina were my daughter, that would be so great. Such a daughter would truly be a great asset!”
Thomas sighed and put down his fork. “I’m done eating.”
Layla felt Thomas was being grumpy “Why are you in a bad mood early morning? Who pissed you off!”
Winslet was ashamed and did not dare to look up.
She pondered, “Dad must still feel that I’m a disgrace”
Harley comforted her, “Winnie, don’t be upset. Isn’t it just a fall? It’s just a small accident. Don’t feel bad about it.”
He laughed and asked. “Aren’t you going to start school the day after tomorrow? I have good news for you.

freshman. Don’t cling to him every day in school. By that time, his reputation may be affected.”
“No, I won’t.” Winslet’s mood improved. “By then, others will envy that I have such a capable and handsome brother.”
Harley shook his head. “I’ll drive you to buy clothes later.
“Thank you, Harley Winslet nodded quickly.
Lucas had no appetite and felt irritated.
He wondered, “Why are they so happy? Maddie just passed away not long ago.”
“What is there to be happy about?” Lucas felt a sharp pain in his heart and sneered. “Winnie, this quota belonged to Maddie. How could you accept it just like that!”
Lucas gaze remained calm and steady as he fixed his eyes on Winslet’s dazzling smile.
“She hasn’t even laid to rest, yet you’re daydreaming about your university life here?” he asked again.
Lucas wondered if Winslet’s kindness shown previously was genuine. Perhaps it was fake.
Layla was stunned “Lucas, what are you talking about! Why did you say such unpleasant words to hurt Winnie? What’s wrong with you?”
