Chapter 15
Winslet frowned and looked at Benjamin in disbelief.
“Why did he still comfort Madeline? Aren’t they about to terminate their marriage agreement?” Winslet thought.
“Benjamin..
Madeline lifted her gaze and said. “I didn’t steal anything, so there’s no need for you to help me settle anything. Don’t admit everything on my behalf. This wasn’t my fault in the first place.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Ivy rutted. “Mr. Moore is kind enough to deal with things for you. Why don’t you know chalk from cheese? If we call the police, you’ll definitely go to jail.
Winslet added, “That’s right. Don’t be so stubborn, Maddie. If Dad and Mom knew about it, they would be very disappointed in you. You need to be responsible for your future, so own up.”
Benjamin sighed. “Madeline, why are you so stubborn? I know you’re angry, but this isn’t a trivial matter. Just apologize to them. They won’t pursue the matter for the sake of the Moore family. If you really go to jail, how will you have the courage to continue your life in the future?”
After saying that, he was about to grab Madeline’s hand.
However, Madeline avoided his touch.
He could even see the disgust in Madeline’s eyes clearly.
Benjamin was rendered speechless.
te that!
How could Madeline, who had always followed behind him timidly, look at him like
It was like she was looking at a dirty thing.
“Maddie, what’s wrong with your
Benjamin had completely lost his patience.
Winslet said, “Benjamin, forget it. You shouldn’t worry about this. You always g
get wronged when it comes to matters concerning Maddie, 1 feel sorry
for you. I’ll contact Mom and let her solve it.“
Madeline felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
With a sigh, she took out her phone.
She besitated whether to contact Henry. After all, he knew about what had happened.
However, Henry wouldn’t stand by her side. Perhaps he would even ridicule her along with Winslet.
Madeline laughed at herself and thought, “Why should I humiliate myself!”
Francis was still complaining, “Why is this little girl so stubborn? She really bites the hand that feeds her. You should thank Mr. Moore for coming here to deal with your problem. Of course, don’t blame us for deliberately exposing you. If we let it slide, you will definitely rot in jail. We’re just trying to help you return from the wrong path”
Francis had worded his words so righteously. It was as if he was really a
ya morally g
good person.
Ivy praised, “Mr. Underwood, we know your character. You are an excellent employee, so it goes to say that you have a high moral standard.”
The people around them also gossiped.
“That’s right. Mr. Underwood is really a good person. This girl doesn’t understand why he’s doing this. She’ll definitely understand his kindness in the future.”
“Little girl, it’s true that you stole something You have so many people worrying about you too. You must listen to them.”
“Well, if they hadn’t been nice to you,
u, you would have been in the police station now. There’s no way you would still be here losing your temper
“If you don’t listen to them now, you will regret it in the future!”
Francis was a little complacent, hurrying to show off in front of Benjamin, “Mr. Moore, don’t worry. I will help you solve this today. You are a VIP of our bank, so don’t worry. I will send the check back to the Zimmerman family later. That way, they won’t hold this little girl accountable.”
Winslet sighed in relier. “Mr. Underwood, thank you so much. My younger sister just made a mistake back there. She’s not normally like this. After
what happened, I will educate her well and won’t let her do such a thing again.”
“She’s your younger sister! You guys are so different, though” Francis sighed. “Your sister wouldn’t have done such a thing if she was half as sensible
as you.”
by also sneered. “Right? There’s a big gap between the two sisters. Those who don’t know what’s happening probably thought your sister was adopted by the streets!”
Winslet smiled. “No, no. It’s just that she hasn’t received any education. She lived by the countryside since she was young, after all.”
“That’s no wonder. You have to educate her about the law. If she breaks the law here, she’ll be sentenced to prison. It’s different from what they do In the countrysidel” As Ivy said that, she eyed Madeline up and down with a malicious paze
Everyone laughed.
It turned out that Madeline was from the countryside. No wonder she didn’t understand the law. She was illiterate, after all!
Although everyone was mockingly staring at Madeline, she straightened her back unyieldingly.
Madeline turned to Winslet and asked, “Are you done? This check is mine. Our parents aren’t here, so it’s useless for you to keep pretending”
Hearing this, Benjamin was furious. “Madeline, are you shameless? Winnie was kind enough to find a way to help you. How can you treat her like
this?
Benjamin had found Madeline pitiful just now for nothing, even feeling compassionate for her
Now, it seemed that he was overthinking it
Madeline was hopeless!
“Give the check back to the Zimmerman family now!”
“Go deal with it yourself. Don’t wait for others to clean up your mess!
Francis shook his head while clicking his tongue. He had never seen such a stubborn person before.
Winslet also lowered his head and pretended to wipe her tears, but she was secretly happy.
Winslet didn’t understand why Madeline was looking for trouble. It was 100 thousand dollars, after all. There was no way it belonged to Madeline, She probably had never seen this amount of money in her entire life.
Madeline was sull being so stubborn in such a dire state.
This would only make Benjamin more disgusted
Winslet thought, “Dad and Mom must know about this. This way, they and the Larson brothers will hate Madeline and love me more.
After Winslet thought that, she took a picture with her mobile phone and sent it to Layla. She also included a brief message on what had happened.
Layla almost fainted
Winslet smiled proudly while looking at Madeline sympathetically.
This time, Madeline was doomed.
At this moment, someone suddenly scolded, “What’s going on?”
Everyone turned around.
Ivy found that Kevin was there!
Immediately, Ivy had a charming smile on her face.
“Oh. Mr. Zimmerman. Why are you here in person!”
Kevin was sitting in a wheelchair, dressed in gauze. He looked extremely miserable.
However, he still remembered Alexander’s warning that night.
Therefore, Kevin was still a little scared.
Francis sighed. “Mr. Zimmerman still came bere in such a state. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to solve the problem this time. You really should have listened to your elder sister and Mr. Moore.”
Although Francis was pretending to be kind–hearted, he was actually rubling salt onto Madeline’s wound. He stood there with his hands crossed his theu, watching the fun.
Kevin was a spoiled rich brat, after all. It was a no–brainer that he had quite a temper
No one ever had the upper hand over Kevin.
This was the day the line girl was screwed
Winslet also waited to see how Madeline would be taught a lesson. This was not home, so no one would done over her there.
Benjamin’s face darkened. “Mr. Zimmerman, Madeline made a mistake and stole your check. We’ll return it to you right now. I’m so sorry about
Others didn’t dare to breathe.
It was Kevin Zimmerman, after all.
He was the eldest son of the Zimmerman family in Acocesteri
Meanwhile. Madeline was sitting there calmly without a single hint of fear on her face.
The country bumpkin didn’t know what was going on!
he’s wearing is
“Mr. Zimmerman, I immediately withheld the check after seeing it was yours.” Ivy tried to take credit for it flirtatiously. “Everything she’s cheap‘ How could she even get ahold of your 100–thousand–dollar check? The security guards are here. You can deal with her as you want.” Kevin frowned. “I want to see your general manager. His expression was dark
