My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 324

Madeline frowned and instantly walked away.

Her assistant, a young woman named Leila Cochran, who was only a few years older than Madeline, noticed and quickly caught on. Coughing lightly and pretending not to see Lucas, she followed Madeline, dragging a large suitcase.

She said. "Maddie, the person you're avoiding is Lucas Larson, who became a bit popular during the winter break. How do you know him?

"From the way you're reacting, it seems you don't want to see him. Should I have a word with Mr. Fisher and ask him to arrange for the producers to remove Lucas, the person you dislike, from the show?"

"No need. You have been working for Nolan, so you might not know much about the entertainment industry. Lucas is my brother," Madeline explained to Leila while walking, sighing with a bit of frustration. "But our bond has long since eroded. He just likes clinging to me whenever he sees me, and it's annoying."

Lucas had been overly attentive to Madeline when they were on the same set before, even more so than Madeline's own assistant, which led to some gossip.

Although t

shared the same surname, not everyone knew they were siblings, and Madeline preferred it stayed that way. Leila thought for a moment and then realized that Lucas was one of the biased and heartless members of the family Madeline used to have.

She was highly skilled in combat and had acquired some medical knowledge from working for Nolan. However, having spent all her time within the organization, she wasn't very familiar with the outside world.

Despite this, due to Nolan's deep affection for Madeline, Leila, like other of Nolan's subordinates, was aware of certain things about the outside world.

"Maddie, since he's your brother, how about I...?" Leila's eyes sparkled with a mischievous idea. "How about I break his legs or drug him to ensure he can't participate in the show, so you won't have to see him and get upset."

Madeline looked at Leila's serious face and realized she might actually do something like that.
