Chapter 66
Madeline frowned slightly. “Notify the wrong time?”
The person in charge hurriedly contacted other waiters in the re
restaurant
He then reported, “The waitress on the seventh floor has checked and confirmed that there is no one there.”
Madeline felt a little strange.
Upon looking at Madeline’s face, Layla was stunned.
She was delighted just then, but right then, her face was full of disbelief.
When Madeline was talking to the person in charge, Layla asked with trembling hands, “Winnie, am I hallucinating?”
She thought, “Why does this person look exactly like my late daughter? I’m sure she’s Madeline! But why is she ignoring me as if we are strangers?” Layla looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.
After
coming back to her senses, she started feeling angry. For these days, she couldn’t sleep well
Yet. Madeline appeared fine and dressed in a decent dress.
Layla thought.”

“How can she pretend not to know me? What kind of clothes is she wearing? She’s being rebellious now, huh?” Then, she said, “Mad-
“Mom, she’s not Madeline, Winslet hurriedly said, pulling Layla aside. She was still a little frightened. “Mom, I’m begging you. Please don’t mistake her for someone else. This is Alina, CEO of Glorious Group”
Winslet approached Layla’s ear and spoke in a voice only the two could hear.
“She is not easy to mess with, and she has a big shot backing her up. Please don’t go up telling her that you two are related… The last time, I’ve mistaken her for someone else, too. I ended up.
Winslet remembered the beating last time, and her complexion turned pale.
She gulped and continued, “This person looks too similar to Maddie, but the truth is she just came back from abroad.”
Layla frowned. “How is that possible? No one in the world can be so similar. Madeline must be playing tricks. You are too innocent to be fooled by her
Layla’s chest heaved violently with anger and continued, “She came to the enrollment celebration banquer because she learned about our fame and glory and could no longer hide her intentions,”
Initially, Layla was sad that Madeline had died to save her family.
However, after seeing that Madeline was still alive, Layla did not feel that happy either.
“Madeline is so evil–minded! She concealed her intentions so well!” Lay
Layla exclaimed.
Winslet’s face went as pale as a sheet, and she didn’t bother to explain anymore.
wever, she didn’t want to look for trouble with Layla,
However,
“Mom, she’s really not Madeline. You can find out by searching the internet. She is the CEO of Glorious Group. You know Maddie very well. If she has connections in Glorious Group, she wouldn’t have stayed at home-
Winslet initially wanted to say that Madeline would not have stayed home and swallowed her frustrations.
However, as she spoke, she felt a little guilty.
At last, she continued. “She wouldn’t have stayed at home and been so diligent”
Layla gave it a thought and felt that Winslet had a poin
Madeline had a tumid personality. It was impossible that she would be the CEO of Glorious Group.

She took out her phone and began searching for photos.
Soon, the search engine showed many photos of Madeline on the internet..
Most reports were about a mysterious and beautiful CEO returning to her home country and being the center of attention in banquets.
It had long been on the news.
“She’s indeed the CEO of Glorious Group.”
Layla calmed down.
She
never thought the person before her that resembled Madeline so much could have such a prominent identity.
Fate played its tricks.
However, looking at that similar face, Layla couldn’t bring herself to be respectful to h
her.
When she approached Madeline to strike up a conversation, she acted high and mighty and talked in the tone of an elder, “Miss, are you holding a banquet here, too?”
Madeline shot Layla a sideways glance.
“What else could it be if I’m not here to hold a banquet? Do you think I’m so free that I have time to come over to have fun?” she replied.
Layla was furious. She thought, “What’s wrong with this person? Does she have to be so rude? I’m an elder, no matter how! Morcover, there are so many big shots today. The Larson family will have a promising future soon. We won’t lose to Glorious Group forever!”
She had started a conversation because she remembered her husband once wanted to curry favor with Clorious Group.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have cared about it
“Ha! You have poor interpersonal relationships, and you can’t even speak nicely. I care about you because you look a lot like my daughter. With a temper like yours, I’m not surprised there isn’t a single soul here for your banquet” Layla snorted and continued proudly, “My eldest daughter is holding an enrollment celebration banquet today. I have prepared dozens of tables for the banquet, and they are all fully seated, so I have to ask for more halls. There are a total of 200 tables now, Maybe more people will come later. I guess it won’t take long to add up to 300 tables!”
Then, Layla said with a hint of arrogance, “You have to be humble and polite to be popular.”
The person in charge glanced at Winslet and then at Madeline.
He thought. “They don’t look alike. Compared with Madeline, Winslet looks much more mediocre.”
However, the Larson family was a huge client with many connections.
The person in charge could tell which party was more important.
“Ha… Let’s stop making a scene here. I guess the both of you are destined to meet each other. The banquet on the seventh floor is also an enrollment celebration banquet to celebrate an admission to Acocester University. What a coincidence! Who knows if the two of you would be classmates! Maybe you would end up being besties”
Upon hearing that, Madeline sneered lowly
Her eyes were full of contempt.
Winslet felt disgusted at that thought.
“Being classmates with Alina… Wouldn’t that be irritating” she thought
Whenever she saw Alina, she was reminded of the scene
e of being bullied.
Winslet deliberately smiled. “That’s not necessarily true. I am studying the best major in the school so there are only a few students in my cohort Miss, you just came back from abroad. You must be enrolled in programs provided by the foreign cooperative education, right?”
The programs provided by the foreign cooperative education of Acocester University were well–known for their expensive tuition f admission requirements for exam scores.
Tees and lower
In particular, the minumum scores for international students to get admited were even lower as the university wanted to increase the proportion of international students
Chapter 66
Simply put, students enrolled in that program were only pawns.
One could enroll in the program if they were willing to pay the money.
Winslet thought, “It is completely different. She’s unlike me, who gets admitted by having an exam score that wins Because of such differences, there isn’t any room
for
comparison.”
Winslet continued, “Your classmates must be international students as well.”
s the title of City’s number one.
Madeline was not stupid. She could tell from the complacency in Winslet’s tone that the latter was belittling her using a different method.
Layla also deliberately asked, “I remember that international students have low admission requirements, right?”
“Of course, Foreigners are not as good at studying as locals. Winslet pursed her lips, and her gaze showed a hint of arrogance. “Having low scores i
natural for them.”
Layla chuckled.
Giving Madeline a contemptuous look, Layla began looking down on the former.
“Since you spent money to get a spot, don’t you feel embarrassed to have asked for 300 tables for your banquet? It’s ridiculous. No wonder no one came,” Layla said.
At that moment, several more cars arrived at the venue.
The car of the Moore family was at the front of the line,
is
Layla smiled and said, “Winnie, Benjamin’s parents have arrived. Although they told us they could not make it, they are still here. It seems they are here for you. Go and welcome them.”
Layla remembered that the Moore family didn’t want to have any connections with them anymore.
“They were harsh on the outside, but they are soft–hearted on the inside,” she thought
Layla smiled at ease. Deep down, she mused, “I guess it’s because there are so many big shots at our banquet. It seems that one will rule as long as they are capable”
Layla was leisurely waiting at the door with Winslet.
Regina came over with a big box in her hand…
Layla said, “Mrs. Moore, you’re so late. Fortunately, I’ve left a table for you!”
Regina spotted Madeline first and showed a gentle smile.
Yet, Layla blocked her way before she could walk over to Madeline.
When Regina saw that it was Eayla, her face immediately turned ugly.
“This woman keeps bothering me
g me like chewing gum, and there’s no way to get rid of her! That’s why people dislike her!” Regina thought.
With a frown, she said in an unpleasant tone. “Don’t get in my way! Mrs. Larson, I’ve made it clear to you that I have no time for your family’s enrollment celebration banquet I have something important today. Don’t force me to get angry with you here!”
