The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 176

Three day’s had passed. After running out of options, Thomas and Layla decided to stay at a friend’s house. Layla, sensing their host’s discomfort, was equally uneasy.

Finally, Thomas decided to make a trip to the capital. Layla looked at Thomas packing and asked, “Should I accompany you? Sharon had made it clear that she would make things hard for us before she left last time. You’re not even sure how they’ll treat you this time.“.

“Since you already know, it’s better if you don’t come. We’re already imposing here. Everything will be fine tomorrow once I borrow the money from the Larson family. Thomas shook his head, waving her off.

Layla understood that Thomas was out of options. Ever since their business started to decline, those so–called friends had all kept their distance.

Thomas had always been a proud man, and he disliked the Larson family in the capital. His decision to borrow money from them demonstrated how desperate he was.

Early the next morning, Thomas drove to the capital. Coincidentally, Madeline followed Caleb to the capital by plane.

On the plane, Madeline flipped through a magazine, yawning out of boredom. “Why are we heading to the capital so early? What are we going to

do!”

“There’s an exclusive conference. I’m taking you to broaden your connections. If you’re tired, go ahead and sleep. I’ll wake you when we get there,” Caleb said, patting Madeline’s head.

Madeline glanced sideways at Caleb’s stern face and smiled. She leaned her head against his shoulder. Caleb always exuded an air of refinement. His cashmere coat, handcrafted in lugrea, felt soft to the touch. The deep gray color also gave off a calm vibe.

With her eyes half closed, Madeline touched Caleb’s coat. “Caleb, you should attend the conference alone. I know nothing about business. If you take me, all I’ll do is eat and drink”
