The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 164

Joel was unaware of what was happening at home and assumed his parents were simply worried about Winslet’s safety. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry,” he said. T’ve got someone tracking down where Winnie is. I promise I’ll bring her back safe and sound.”

“You’re the only one who actually cares about Winnie.” Layla sighed. “Madeline’s got Jacob completely fooled, and now he’s treating Winslet like this.” Layla was genuinely worried that their hopes of becoming in–laws with the Horton family were slipping away.

Joel’s anger flared. He rolled up his sleeves and growled, “Til teach Jacob a lesson! How could he treat her like that? Winnie’s stood by us through everything without a single complaint. He’s way too easily influenced!”

The assistant clicked his congue in approval. “Your aesthetics never change. All your patients end up looking like the faces. But lately, it’s all about that ‘innocent but seductive‘ look. You should give her those fox eyes”

“Is that what’s trending?” Benson was thoughtful for a moment. “Fine, let’s add that too. As long as Ms. Larson is happy, that’s what matters.” Winslet couldn’t move but was still fully conscious. The anesthesia clearly wasn’t working as it should. She wanted to scream, to resist, but her body wouldn’t obey
