The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 241

Layla’s heart ached when she heard this. Tiana was too harsh, but her words reminded Layla of her grief. They had returned with the hope of starting a good life, but these people put on airs to intimidate them before they could even take a seat. Layla thought, When Maddie first came house, did she want the same and live peacefully with us? But…She became a bit dispirited. “Tiana, you’re right to teach me a lesson. But we’ll see each other often from now on. Let’s not say anything unpleasant that would make us feel bad.” Layla had experienced it herself from hurting Madeline’s feelings. Now she found it hard to make it up

Tuana snorted and shook her head. “I don’t feel like talking to you. Where’s Madeline? Is she still dawdling behind? She should still abide by certain rules as a younger generation, despite her background and connections.”

Layla was taken aback that she suddenly asked about Madeline. Even if the family valued their younger generation, she had brought her sons back. Layla had no clue why Tiana mentioned Madeline. Layla was well aware that big families cared about continuing the family line, so her sons being here should have been enough. Moreover, she came here to prove that they could live well without relying on Madeline. “Maddie’s in Acocester. She didn’t come with us,” Layla explained. “She didn’t want to come over.

“What?” Ruth could no longer remain seated. All she wanted was Madeline. What good were they without Madeline “Who told you all to come back

without her?”

Layla hurriedly explained, “Ruth, she didn’t want to come. We’ve invited her several times, but she is very rebellious now. It’s better she doesn’t come back so as not to offend you all.”

“Shut up Ruth snapped. Is this a place for you to speak?”

Tiana couldn’t help but gloat as she looked at Layla, thinking how utterly foolish Layla was. She talked inwardly. Does she really think we care about them? What we want is just Madeline. We only tolerate you people for Madeline’s sake.

Bella held back her urge to laugh and quickly picked up her coffee cup, pretending to take a sip. She used to be the “actress” that Ruth despised, but at least she was smart. It seemed like Thomas‘ family was in a worse situation than hers, and they weren’t as smart. It looked like she wouldn’t be the one struggling the most in the family from now on…
