The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Winslet waited to see how Madeline would react. Sharon was a socialite in Japrium, so there was no way she was wrong. If Sharon said it was fake, then it had to be fake. It seemed like Madeline found herself a seemingly impressive brother who turned out to be just a con artist.

Sharon gave a dismissive snort. “The Heart of Snow couldn’t have been obtained for just 16 million dollars unless someone with power deterred others from competing.” She looked at Gavin with disdain. “Even if you’re pretending, the Heart of Snow isn’t something to show off with. Doesn’t it embarrass you to flaunt this fake?”

“Aunt Sharon, stop it.” Winslet pretended to be regretful. “Maybe he was tricked into buying a fake. Surely there’s a receipt for this jewelry, right Show us the receipt. If he was really scammed, there’s still time to call the police. Oh well, everyone gets deceived sometimes.

Sharon nodded. “If that’s the Heart of Snow, show as the receipt. For 16 million dollars, there must be proof.”

Layla looked around, feeling in a dilemma, unsure of which side to support. She wasn’t sure if Gavin really lacked ability, so she didn’t dare to offend him hastily.

“We don’t need to prove anything to you” Madeline shut the sapphire box with cool sarcasm. “Who do you think you are? Do I owe you an explanation?

She snickered, placing the box securely in her bag. She was finally done pretending with them, and her gaze toward the Larson family was full of disdain.

“Maddie, why are you so angry! Winslet smiled, seeing this as proof that Madeline was feeling guilty. Maybe she was aware of the gern being fake It might just be for show,

“Gavin was tricked, spending millions on a piece of glass. You should advise him to report it to the police too Winslet intentionally repeated. It’s millions, not just a few hundred dollars.

Madeline’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Have you ever seen a genuine collector’s sapphire! Do you own one! As far as I know, your most expensive piece of jewelry is that diamond necklace worth over a hundred thousand dollars. Do you really think you’re qualified to say my sapphire, worth millions, is a fake?”

She felt a surge of anger, thinking, Gavin stood up for me, so why should we have to endure the Larson family’s suspicions and judgment? Gavin is my family. Those from the Larson family are outsiders and my enemies. There is no heed to be polite to them‘

Winslet’s smile froze. It struck her deeply. She thought, I really don’t have one. But so what? Just because I don’t have one, does it mean I can’t reveal Madeline’s sapphire as a fake?

Winslet felt triumph again. She was sure that Madeline was lashing out in embarrassment. “Maddie, don’t be mad. I wasn’t trying to criticize you. I’m just concerned about you”

“Then keep your concern to yourself Madeline smirked, with an air of superiority that almost made Winslet jump up in anger. “You’re not qualified to care about me”

Layla thought Gavin might have actually given Madeline a fake sapphire. She frowned with a look of meaningful disdain. Previously, with all that pretense, she thought Gavin was a big shot. It turned out that Harley was overreacted and wasn’t intentionally hinting anything to her.

She buffed and rolled her eyes. “Maddie, you’re really being so foolish. He gave you a fake sapphire and you’re still defending him. You don’t even know you’re being fooled. Sharon is just trying to help you. Don’t keep posting here. She only wants to remind you not to get deceived.”

Thomas nodded. “That’s right. This time, the Horton. Maddie, you’re an adult now. Sharon will set up a good marriage for you, and you’ll definitely marry into a wealthy family. Make sure to keep your eyes open and don’t undervalue yourself by being with someone unsuccessful” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Oh, please don’t say that Sharon glanced at her beautifully manicured naik, a mocking smile playing on her lips. It was too late to say this now. It was impossible for her to set up a marriage for Madeline. Although Sharon appeared gracious on the surface, she was known for being petty in the family.

“Who can really be so sure about marriage? In my opinion, since M should 1 worry about it?” said Sharon

Maddie is so independent, she’s sure to find her own happiness in the future. Why

Thomas and Layla quickly tried to appease Sharon, Sharge waved her hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. Why should I be upset! I just watched a comedy unfold. That’s all. Life is boring. I might as well find some amusement in it.”

Harley grabbed Layla’s hand and whispered, “Mom, Gavin is not someone we can afford to offend. Please, say no more

Layla dismissed it. “You’re just scared easily. What’s so threatening about him?”

리

Just as Harley was about to say more, some more people arrived from outside. The chairman of the chamber of commerce in Acocester, Brunswick, came in with Charles and Bryan.

Thomas quietly stood up and said, “Oh my, Mr. Lowe, Me. Lane, what brings you here unexpectedly! My place feels truly

3.37 PM d

presence today. Harley, quickly greet Mr. Lowe and Mr. Lane!”

Charles looked exhausted. As soon as he saw Harley, he quickly bent down and said, “Oh, please don’t. I’m here this time specifically to bring my unruly son to apologize. Mr. Larson, my improper son offended you at the restaurant last time. It’s my fault for not raising him properly.”

Charles took out a land deed. “This is our gift of apology. Please forgive us.”

Thomas was puzzled. Charles was the chairman of a listed company. Although there had been issues recently, Charles was a big shot who was admired everywhere he went in the past. He was quite picky about whom he interacted with.

In an effort to strike a deal, Thomas had visited the Labiche residence daily for two works, only to be turned away each time,

“Mr. Lane, what’s going on?” asked Thomas,

Charles enthusiastically grabbed Thomas’s hand. “Thomas, my friend, I agree to your proposal for collaboration. Our family was close to ruin this time, but luckily Mr. Lowe helped us out.”

He glanced at Gavin and Madeline, his eyes showing some hesitation and timidity. “Please forgive me and say a few nice words for me in front of Mr. Newton and Ms. Larson. Otherwise, my brief moment of fame will be over soon. Just get Mr. Newton to give me a chance, and the Labiche family and your family will be the best partners, making money and doing business together. How does that sound?”

Thomas felt a chill run down his spine. He wondered, ‘Could the mysterious big shot who nearly took down the Labiche family really be Gavin? Just three minutes ago, Layla and I were mocking Gavin for giving a fake sapphire‘ Now, Thomas was sweating profusely. Even though the weather had cooled down, his back was still soaked with sweat.

He hesitated, “Mr. Lane, are you sure you got it right? Is this Mr. Newton you’re talking about someone I actually know?”

“How could it be wrong?” Charles forced a smile, speaking through clenched teeth, “Isn’t he standing right over there? Thomas, you can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Thomas could feel his palms getting sweaty. He turned back and stole a glance at Gavin, who had a knowing smirk on his face. This mess was scarier than seeing a ghost.
