Chapter 13
To Henry, Madeline’s appearance was too sudden. It was as if a stranger appeared in his house one day.
His parents said that she was his real younger sister.
Meanwhile, Winslet, who had been loved dearly for 18 years, cried burkets every day.
He was biased toward Winslet
He was errtain that he detested Madeline.
The car had already driven out.
He looked at the cars in front of the race track, among which his car was in the middle.
“Mr. Henry Larson, are you worried about Winslet Ella asked, her arms crossed.
“That’s impossible.” Henry scoffed. His face then darkened. “However, if anything happens to her, you’ll all get it from met
Ella frowned. “It’s a done deal that something will happen. You know how difficult it is to complete a full lap around Maple Hill. There are so many bends and dangerously located spots. I’ll be dangerous once the car tums over.”
Henry clenched his fisce.
A sound rang out
The six cars shot out from the starting line.
Onlookers around the area were cheering.
Ella was also excitedly watching the cars as they disappeared into the distance.
“My goodness, they’re all driving so fast. It’s amazing
“Your sister is not easy to beat. Mr. Henry Larson
“Tsk. The situation with this car is quite critical”
Cold sweat erupted on Henry’s forehead.
Each second that passed felt like torture.
Less than three minutes passed.
Just then a car flew out from the bend.
“Something happened!” someone exclaimed.
Despite the amount of wine he drank, Henry immediately sobered up at the
up at that exclamation
He looked over and stared intently but couldn’t see clearly.
The remaining five cars continued to drive.
“Shit, it’s Luke. He usually enjoys messing wills other people’s cars. Now, he’s caused trouble”
“Hurry and get the person out
The sound of the wind and roaring engines was deafening.
Madeline’s expression was frigid.
As expected, they wanted to screw up her car and team up to mess with her.
She scoffed.
Her gaze was drep p. She was no longer the person she used to be, vulnerable to manipulation.
Swoosh!
Kevin watched as Madeline drove steadily and skillfully. He was left far b behind and was under a lot of presssire.
“Shit, I thought that person couldn’t drive! How is she so good?” he thought
Soon, another car met with trouble.
Henry was shocked once again. “Who is it this time?
Ella frowned and replied, “It’s not Madeline”
Henry heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s strange,” he thought. “I didn’t care about Madeline before
He frowned, and his heartbeat increased
Next came a sharp bend.
Ten minutes passed
Madeline steadily brought the car to a stop.
Everyone else’s car encountered issues.
Even the ambulance came
Madeline opened the door to the passenger seat and said, “Get in.”
Henry got in. “You…” he started.
Madeline drove home indifferently, her expression even colder than the air conditioner blowing in the car.
This trip wasn’t a waste. Not only did she get back at these jerks, but she even made 100 thousand dollar.
For her, this was truly a lifesaving amount of money.
The car stopped
Henry chased after Madeline and grabbed her wrist. “Madeline, what’s going on?” he asked
“Ask them yourself
Madeline angered. She remembered how he mistook her for Winslet when she was lying half–dead in the hospital that night
She found it ridiculous.
She could never forgive him either.
Tim going to sleep”
On the other hand. Steven and Alexander looked at the tragic situation and remained silent.
It was especially true for Steven, who was thinking of something
He was unusually quiet
Alexander gave a thumbs up and said, “This pretty girl is fearless. Tve always said she has quite the presence. However, these people will get their revenge. They’re all silver–spooned kids who are not easy to mess with“
Steven glanced at him in disgust and said, “You go handle it
“Seriously? I thought you weren’t interested in her? Alexander frowned, then continued, “I know. You like courageous women, don’t you?”
Steven couldn’t be bothered. “Im busy. Fm going back to the capital, he said.
Before leaving, he turned around and handed over a business card. “Gave it to her,” he instructed.
“You say one thing, but your actions mean otherwise. Alexander shook his head and walked toward the crowd.
The van voon rose.
Madeline was still asleep in the late morning as she only fell asleep past midnight.
Layla, who was at the dining table, couldn’t help but scold, “What is this attitude of Madeline’s Doing as she pleases, waking up whenever she wants. She even went out last night to fool around with someone. Not a single bit ladylike at alll Anne, call her to come downstairs. If she doesn’t come down to eat now, she can forget about eating for the rest of the day!”
Anne sighed silently and responded, “Yes.”
“Hold on,” Henry intervened, his thick eyebrows framing a pair of dark eyes. “Let her sleep. I asked her to drive me last night, so she slept late,” he said.
Winslet had taken Layla’s words as a joke. She didn’t expect Henry to defend Madeline.
She felt a little jealous. “Henry, you don’t have to cover up for her. You usually don’t bother with Maddie at all. How could you ask her to drive you? Besides, it hasn’t been long since Maddie returned from the countryside. She doesn’t know how to drive.”
She wrinkled her nose on purpose, attempting to appear cute. “You dote on Maddie too much. I’m going to get jealous.”
Layla rolled her eyes and added, “That’s right. You own a car dealership. Why would you need her to drive? Can none of your subordinates give you a lift? Anne, go. Quick”
Henry suddenly fell silent.
It wasn’t clear what he was thinking, but he looked gloomy.
Layla smiled and said, “By the way, Henry, I have something to discuss with you.”
Henry looked up at Layla.
“Winnie is going to study at an elite university. Although it’s also in the provincial capital, the distance from home to that school is still quite far. Im planning to buy her a car worth 100 thousand dollars. It must be a trendy brand, so she doesn’t feel embarrassed when driving it. Do you have any stylish models to recommend?” she said.
“Mom, you’re so nice! No wonder you kept pushing me to get my driver’s license. It turns out you wanted to give me a car. Winslet hugged Layla’s arm and acted coquettishly. “Such an expensive car. Mom is so generous!”
“The money at home is to be spent on you guys, after all,” Layla said with a smile. “You’re going to attend such a good school. We can’t lose out, or others will look down on us.
Henry glanced at harmonious Layla and Winslet.
For some reason, an image of an injured Madeline in the hospital flashed through his mind.
“Are you guys treating her fairly?” he thought.
His
became solemn.
“Henry, what are you thinking? You don’t love me anymore, do you? You’re being so indifferent.”
Henry looked at Winslet, who was smiling sweetly at him. “Winslet, go to the car dealership and choose a car you like. I’ll give it to you.”
Overjoyed, Winslet asked, “Really?”
Just then, Madeline walked down the stairs reluctantly.
She sat at a far c
corner of the table.
Winslet deliberately announced, “Maddie, I have some good news. I’m going to Acocester University next month, so Henry and Mom gave me a luxury cart Maddie, you don’t have a driver’s license. I’ll take you and my friends out for a ride once we buy the car.
Layla smiled awkwardly. “Why would you take her? Don’t embarrass yourself in front of your friends.”
