My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 212

In Orchid Valley. Helena sat at the doorstep picking vegetables. Next to her was Mary, a former servant of the Larson family who had been fired for standing up for Madeline. The house was spotless, and even the courtyard had been thoroughly weeded, not a single stray

plant in sight.

Mary watched the once arrogant Larson family. She had been thrown out by them when she defended Madeline.

If not for Madeline's kindness, giving her a monthly wage and letting her stay here to help the elderly couple, her life wouldn't have been as peaceful or comfortable. Helena and Frank were kind people who never treated her harshly, so living here was better than being with the Larsons

She never expected than in just a short time, the Larson family would fall into decline. And now, during Christmas, the whole family had come to this village. Nobody knew what they planned to do.

"Mary, what do you think they're really up to? Helena asked, frowning. She hadn't slept well all night. Early in the morning, she saw the Larson family busy preparing for Christmas with big bags of festive goods and tidying the house. Everything that was broken or damaged had been fixed. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were here to care for their parents or grandparents. But how could that be possible?

Helena remembered the times she only wanted to see her granddaughter but was scolded by Layla. Now, she felt deeply uneasy.

"I'm not sure either, Mary said, shaking her head while continuing to pick vegetables. "Since they didn't do anything had, they probably aren't here to cause trouble.

"In the past, the Larsons were wealthy and arrogant. Now that they've fallen, they might have become kinder."

Helena thought Mary made some sense. If the Larsons hadn't fallen, Layla would never have been this nice to her.

At that moment, Layla had just woken up and was sitting in her room. The bed here was hard, making her bones ache terribly. Since moving out of the villa and into a regular apartment in the city, she woke up every day feeling cramped. She glanced out the window and shivered. "It's so cold."
