The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 107

Charlotte tossed a black dress to Madeline.

“Hey, wear this.” She tossed something else over. “The silk stockings are here. They’re new. Go change into high heels.”

Charlotte crossed her arms around her chest and sneered at Madeline condescendingly, “Once you’re there, pay attention to what Mr. Labiche wants and serve him properly. If he wants you to pour wine, you pour it. Understand? If you do your job well, I’ll add 20 dollars extra to your tip today.”

Madeline picked up the clothing. The black dress was a very short slip dress that could hardly cover her buttocks.

It would expose her backside if she leaned over while wearing the dress.

The stockings were also black, but the pattern on them looked trashy.

“I’m not wearing these.” Madeline hurled the clothing away in disgust. “If you want to make unnecessary requests and create hassle, I’ll leave.”

“Duh! Madeline, who do you think you’re talking to?” Charlotte squinted her eyes and spoke with a sour and petty expression. “You think you’re no longer a country bumpkin after enrolling at a reputable university? Don’t you have to earn money, too?”

“Isn’t your family destitute? Can your family in the countryside actually afford your tuition?” Charlotte continued shrilly and arrogantly, “How about 60 dollars? Don’t you want to earn some easy cash?”

“Who told you my family couldn’t afford my tuition?” With some suspicions, Madeline retorted incredulously.

“Everyone knows your familial status when you transferred from another school. Your parents have disappeared, leaving only your grandparents farming in the countryside to provide for your tuition.” Charlotte’s speech was rude. “At that time, Winslet told us that you’re an orphan. Even your grandparents aren’t your biological grandparents.”

“I wouldn’t have offered you this opportunity if I didn’t pity you.” She continued to deride Madeline. “Stop that oh–so–innocent facade. Change into that dress and go serve wine in the private room.”

“Huh,” Madeline sneered in response, “If you like the dress so much, why don’t you wear it?” She glanced at her phone and said, “I’m leaving.”

“Hey! Wait!” Charlotte screeched nervously. Charlotte thought Madeline was playing hard to get, which would ruin her plans.

“She’s no prominent young lady yet pretending to be one!” she bellowed inwardly.

She gritted her teeth in anger and continued screaming in her mind. ‘If it weren’t for Mr. Labiche, who requests specifically to meet her, I wouldn’t even speak to Madeline.

I’m the young lady of the Wallis family, which owns the Grand Clement Hotel. My family has assets worth millions of dollars! Dealing with the poor will only make me smell like a pauper.

The more I interact with her, the more I waste my precious life. Several thoughts ran through Charlotte’s head.

Running out of time and choice, she gave up persuading Madeline. “Fine. Don’t wear it if you don’t want to, just go to the private room. Remember, you must pay the utmost attention to Mr. Labiche’s mood. Mr. Labiche ‘s the heir of a listed company, and it won’t go wrong for you to have a good relationship with him. Heh, be grateful because I’m kind enough to remind you!” She sneered, “After all, studying at a reputable university is still useless for a woman. The only things that matter in this society are money and power.”
