Chapter 71
Benjamin was completely desperate.
He finally realized that the world was not just Acocester.
The Moor family
family could never b
bail him out either.
Winslet and the others did not know what was going on.
Others did not know what Nolan had done or said to Benjamin.
Seeing Nolan get Benjamin to have an emotional breakdown made everyone else feel sorry for the latter.
The two of them were closely interdependent.
It was terrifying
Standing upright, Caleb held a cigarette between his fingertips, a scarlet spark burning at its tip
There was some smoke around him, which smelled of tobacco,
He put out the cigarette, lowered his eyes which were full of hostility, and raised his hand to fan the smoke.
Then he walked toward Madeline.
He rolled his throat and glanced at the Larson family with an impatient look.
“Let’s start apologizing
The Larson family were shocked
Madeline looked away and stopped looking at Benjamin, who was in a wretched condition
Madeline would be disgusted to look at him again.
She mused, “I didn’t understand how I could fall in love with such a loser. In terms of career, he always needs help from his family. He’s resting on his laurel and relies on his family. In terms of a relationship, he can never be faithful. He has someone he likes, but he still flirts with me. He ended up being a heartbreaker and hurt me behind my back. He’s really a loser. The Larson family are content to be cowards,” She smiled faintly and looked at the Larson family with interest.
Afterward, she raised her fingers and pointed to Winslet, “Is it your enrollment celebration banquet?”
Winsler’s lips trembled. “No. 1-1 just happened to bump into yours. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me. We’ll be alumni in the future. Maybe we’ll become good friends!”
Winslet realized the horror of the situation.
She had started talking nonsense.
Madeline sneered. “Me? How do I deserve to be your classmate when I’m the one who paid to get in!”
Winslet’s face turned pale after hearing that
Layla also looked extremely depressed.
They regretted what they had said before.
They pushed themselves to the brink.
Every minute was as tormenting as being roasted on the fire.
Winslet said, “No, I didn’t mean that!”
Winslet to the ground with a backhand slap
“It’s all your fault. Why do you hold an enrollment celebration banquet? It’s all because of you! You’re out of luck‘ shame on your
Chapter 71
Winslet exclaimed and fell to the ground.
There was a smell of blood in her throat. Thomas slapped her really hard.
With eyes full of fear, she covered her face and cried pitifully.
“D–Dad.”
Thomas looked away and did not want to look at her again.
He did not care about her anymore.
But that was obviously not her fault.
Winslet was not stupid. She knew that Thomas wanted her to take the blame alone.
Sitting on the ground, Winslet was at a loss, and looked at Madeline, begging for mercy.
It seemed that she had seen the last straw.
“Ms. Houghton, I know I was wrong! I’m sorry! You’re a big shot. Please forgive me,” Winslet said in a humble tone.
Joel was so sad,
Harley tried his best to control himself.
Jacob looked exhausted and could not bear to see it.
But they all had the same thought. They wondered, “Why are we so unlucky as long as we face this face? First Madeline, the jinx, and then Alina. who has such a domineering temper. Winnie is being wronged!”
Layla’s face turned pale with fright. “Honey, it’s not Winnie’s idea to hold the enrollment celebration banquet.”
“Shut up! Don’t speak for her! Isn’t it enough! It’s the second time that this loser has brought so much misfortune to our family! We sacrificed our own daughter and got such an adopted daughter! No one can protect her today. Just let her pay for her sins with death!” Thomas growled.
As Thomas said that, he felt as though he was stabbed and bleeding
After all, Winslet was his daughter who had been cultivated for 18 years.
But he knew that was the only option.
Thomas was heartbroken. He mused, “I should have been more considerate of Maddie. In terms of appearance, Maddie is better than Winnie. In terms of temperament, although Maddie is not as good at coaxing people as Winnie, she’s honest, hardworking, and will never cause trouble. In terms of ability, Maddie was born in the countryside, but she worked very hard, so she’s no worse than people in the city. She was admitted to the university in the first place. What’s good about Winnie? It’s just an 18–year relationship. It was only her softer character that made people happy. But now she’s really in trouble. These advantages are worthless at all!”
Thomas was so regretful. If he could get back to eight months ago, he must take good care of Madeline.
He would not love her much, but he would treat Madeline equally.
Layla was scolded by Thomas. She lowered her head timidly and felt extremely uncomfortable.
She knew that today might not end well.
Caleb looked at the person on the ground like he was looking at a bug, with a bit of disgust.
‘Sweetie, what should we do?”
“I don’t know, Can you decide” Madeline pursed her lips and did not want to bother them
Caleb snorted. “If I decide, she’s gonna die. Her soul will leave her body after this.
Madeline frowned
Jacob could not stand it anymore. He said, “Mr. Simmons. I think you’re a Christian. Is it bad to have blood on your handy?”
“I can sarrifier odiers for righteousness. Caleb touched the rosary beads on his wrist. “The heavens are sensible and will save me ”
Chapter 71
Jacob’s heart sunk upon hearing that. He thought, “Such a person is too scary to negotiate with. If I say too much, we’ll die together.”
Frowning. Joel said, “Til take her place. What happened today has nothing to do with Winnic

He frowned. “Joel!”
s unreasonable to do so.
It was just that Winslet’s life was at stake, and he was willing to risk himself too. But he did not want to see Joel in danger.
“Interesting” Caleb’s eyes darkened.
Caleb was a little troubled. He mused, “Why do I feel disgusted when I see such a scene of family unity?”
Seeing the Larson family’s performance, he suddenly changed his mind.
It would be too easy for Winslet to die.
He could easily pinch her to death.
He could play slowly until there was no one to defend Winslet anymore.
Caleb wanted her to be alone and helpless like Madeline.
When the time came, Caleb would make Winslet pay for it.
With a fake smile on his face, he curled up his mouth in a rage.
“It’s very touching. I’m moved by you guys.”
Nolan glanced at Caleb with great interest. He mused. “He’s talking nonsense.”
Winslet gulped and a trace of hope rose in her heart.
She wondered. “Is he going to let me go?”
Winslet looked at Caleb expectantly
The next moment, however, it was like falling into an ice cellar,
Caleb played with the rosary beads, feeling a bit sleepy.
“Then break your hands and feet.
Winslet was incredulous. “No! Please don’t!
She mused, “If so, how could I go to school later! How could I live? If there are aftereffects, I’ll become disabled, What w
will happen to my life!”
