My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 328

Madeline was unsure if the trending topic was orchestrated by the show or Lucas's company. It wasn't her doing, and she had no intention of being linked with Lucas

Gavin emerged from his room. "Maddie, how come you didn't tell me about your old family bothering you on that show? I promise I can make him regret hovering around like a pesky fly"

A fly! Madeline thought Gavin's description was spot-on. Lucas could be truly annoying, always talking and showing unexpectedly. Still dealing with him was unnecessary.
