My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

Chapter 182

Fabian coughed and stood up. "Conner, is Ms. Larson Thomas' daughter?"

Conner nodded. "Sharon said yes, so it should be. I don't know her very well. She and my daughter... Haha, but as an adult, I should probably stay out of their business"

Fabian glanced at Conner and said, "Let's just forget about what happened today, for my sake. Our families have been close for generations. Since they're part of the Larson family too, I'll let it go."

Conner was speechless for a moment. Thomas is not exactly one of our Larson family. He has nothing to do with the Larson family in the capital' He really couldn't understand why Fabian was acting so strange today. But with so many people around, it didn't feel right to probe further.

In the end, he said, "Since you said so, I'll let the matter slide. Let's call it a day!"

Then, Conner glanced at Thomas and said, "Thomas, you're so lucky. I'll drop the matter since Fabian said so

Despite wearing a gloomy expression, Thomas secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought, Now I just need to find a chance to ler Madeline leave

first

Seeing that her husband defended the Thomas family, Emma was a litle unhappy and pulled a long face. Tiana was even more upset, knowing her precious daughter had to endure the grievance after being beaten. On the contrary, Fabian and Conner had already clinked glasses happily

The brief incident and minor conflict were resolved with just a few words.

Conner gave his wife a knowing glance. Since Fabian had asked, he was willing to do him a favor. However, privately, they still had the final say on how to deal with Thomas and his daughter.

Hearing his father's words, Nick grew worried about the possibility of the Larson family's revenge, especially knowing how vindictive Vanessa could be. He hesitated before asking, "Madeline, do you want to sit with me? When the chamber of commerce is over, how about I treat you to some lare-night snacks and then give you a ride home?"

Vanessa, angry and jealous, snapped, "Nick, why are you defending her! How long has she even known you? We've known each other since we were kids!

"Vanessa, why bother? Tiana's tone was cold, with a hint of suppressed anger as she reluctantly added, "Just let it go. Your father already said so." Just as Madeline was about to decline Nick's offer, a man approached and casually draped his arm around her shoulder. His tall, commanding presence was hard to miss. His handsome face was marked by an indifferent expression, and his eyes seemed like bottomless pits. Next to him. Madeline appeared especially delicate.

You seriously think you can let the matter slide just like that? How dare you bully Madeline? Caleb's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of hostility

Fabian's heart sank suddenly. He glanced at Conner with concern and whispered, "I don't know what the history between the Larson family and Madeline is, but she's Caleb's treasure. He cares about her deeply. Conner, you'd better hope for the best"

Emma thought. So slie's Caleb's mysterious girlfriend? Emma was secretly glad that she didn't do anything. Otherwise, the Horton family would

Juter now.

"Honey, luckily, you made the right choice" After saying that, she stepped back silently for fear of getting involved.

Conner's heart sank. He didn't expect that Thomas, the loser, would have such a smart daughter. It seemed like it wouldn't end well for them

He had hoped Sharon would win over Caleb's female companion. That was one of the reasons they came today-to build connections with Caleb He couldn't understand how things had taken such a turn and how he ended up offending Caleb instead. He was filled with regrets,

Tiana was at a loss, and her hands were trembling, "Well.. There is a misunderstanding Sharon, what's going on? Didn't you say the Horton family canceled their engagement with Madeline! You've really messed up-you targeted the wrong person Tiana snapped, trying to shift the blame. Sharon was stunned. This is Madeline; she's really the. How come Čaleb backed her up?" Sharon now felt that she was going to be doomed.

In Accester, Sharon had crossed Madeline and pushed Winslet to take her place. As a result, Madeline's name became entangled in the scandal surrounding the canceled engagement Whenever the Horton or Larson families thought of Madeline, they pictured an unattractive wontin wily a disfigured face.

Sharon was speechless and gritted her teeth. She thought, "Why am I so unlucky?

To the one who got beaten, and my father said it's fine. What more do you want?" Vanessa said, clearly frustrated, her pretty face twisted in anger. "Don't go asking for trouble, all right?"

Tana hurriedly covered Vanessa's mouth and said. "Stop it. He is Caleb!"

Tiana was at a loss for words. Her daughter claimed she wanted to marry Caleb, but she didn't even know who he was. The whole situation was simply ridiculous.

Tiana forced a flattering smile at Caleb. "Mr. Simmons, my daughter is just a bit blunt. She's not a bad person, just a naive young girl. Please don't

uke it to heart"

Madeline, safely tucked under Caleb's protection, tilted her head and said. "A little girl Seriously? You've got some nerve. She's far too old to be called a liule girl."

Madeline's eyes gleamed with teasing "Looks like you're really trying hard to cover for your daughter," she said with a silent tut, thinking to herself, Too bad for them. Caleb and the others are even more protective of me."

Fabian and his wife wanted to leave. They made sure to pull their son Nick aside first. Meanwhile, Conner and his wife became the center of attention. The dynamic had shifted completely-once in a position of superiority, they now found themselves on shaky ground. Thomas was confused, and the tension in his chest tightened even more, making his heart race with anxiety,

Conner glanced at Thomas and said, "Thomas, why didn't you mention that your daughter has such a good relationship with Mr. Simmons? Come on, put in a good word for us. It's just 600 thousand dollars. You've earned it."

He added. "We messed up today. I hope you're not too upset with us. Conner threw an arm around Thomas' shoulder as he spoke. The previous disdain had now been replaced with a friendly, amiable demeanor.

Thomas stepped aside and said, Tm just a bankrupt man, and you're right. I have no powerful connections. Madeline moved out a long time ago. I'm not even her father. Telling me this is pointless. I have no say in the matter.

His expression was cold. He knew he wouldn't be able to borrow money, and now, he wouldn't dare to borrow in Madeline's name. Doing so would make him worse than an animal.

noisy." Caleb cast a cold glance at the reckless Vanessa. His gaze then softened as it fell on Madeline. "Madeline, do you want to handle this yourself, or should I let someone else take care of it?" he asked, gently taking her hand. Her slender fingers were pink and delicate, with crystal-clear nails that were simply beautiful. He couldn't bear the thought of her hurting them.

"Forget it." Caleb smiled helplessly and shot a look at the bodyguard, "Slap her until Ms. Larson smiles.
