Chapter 16
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Hearing this, Ivy hurriedly said. âOur manager is hereâ
Francis straightened his collar and greeted respectfully, âMr. Zimmerman Iâm the manager Francis Underwood!â
Francis thought Kevin was going to praise and reward himself.
âItâs our responsibility to do this, as well as our obligation!!
Kevin was getting impatient. âI want to see the general manager. Are you deal?â
Francis and Ivy looked at each other, They wondered why things h had turned out differently from what they thought.
Benjaminâs heart sank when he saw Kevinâs temper.
He pulled Winslet behind him and said. âWinnie, no matter what happens later, you hide behind me. Got a âBenjamin...â Winsletâs gaze was full of worries. âMaddie is still being stubborn in such a situation. âShe doesnât cherish what you do for her at all. I feel sorry for you. Is it really worth worrying about her?â
Benjamin replied. âItâs my sense of responsibility,â
Winslet rook Benjaminâs arm and said. âYou have to protect yourself Benjamin felt warmness in his heart. âOkay, silly girl. The Moore family is no worse than the Zimmerman family. Donât be afrandâ
Winslet grabbed Beupminâs clothes and nodded obediently âOkay.â
Madeline was annoyed t | by their selfârighteousness.
She looked down to check the time, getting a little anxious Her bus ticket was initially scheduled for 2 p.m. She would have to wait for the day after if she missed this trip.
She got off the stool and walked toward Kevin.
Kevin couldnât help but move hack a little.
If he hadnât been in a wheelchair, he would have moved back even more.
Madeline said condescendingly. âYou shouldnât have agreed to the bet if you canât afford it.â
Kevin said. âUhâ
âCould she perhaps listen to my explanationâ he thought.
Benjamin hurriedly said. âMadeline!â
âHow could she still be so arrogant in times like this! Plus, whyâs she so calm after doing such a thing?â he wondered.
He grabbed Madelineâs arm, his gaze full of disappointment. âStop it, okay?â
At this time, the general manager had come out âMr. Zimmerman, what can I do for you?â
Kevin coughed. Although he didnât know what was happening, it was more important to get things right.
âWhatâs wrong with y your bank? Why did this happen?â
The general manager was stunned. âFrancis, whatâs going on?â
Francis explained quickly. âHereâs what happened....â
He explained what happened in detail He wiped the sweat off his forchrad. âWe should have informed Mr. Zimmerman as soon as possible. Itâs our negligence not to do this. However, we thought the line girl was still young and probably made a mistake. Thatâs why we didnât call the police straight away.â
Chapter 16 Francis still thought that Kevin was venting his anger on them.
Kevin sneered. âWho told you that I didnât give her the check? I was in the hospital the entire time. Did I tell you in your dreams?
Cash the check and apologize to her!â
When Kevin said this, everyone was stunned.
It turned out it was just a misunderstanding.
Francis staggered a few steps, and his face turned pale.
Ivy also bit her lips, knowing that she was absolutely doomed.
Winslet frowned, wondering, âHow could it be possible? How would a country bumpkin like Madeline know a spoiled rich brat like Mr. Zimmerman?â
Madeline was not from their circle at all Benjamin frowned. âMr. Zimmerman, do you mean this check is really ly meant for Maddie?
âWhat else? Who would be stupid enough to steal the Zimmerman familyâs check!â
Benjaminâs heart skipped a beat as he looked at Madeline subconsciously The onlookers, especially those who had accused Madeline just now, lowered their heads shamefully.
Winnie At this time, Layla finally arrived.
Layla felt infuriated as she panted.
When Layla glanced around, she recognized Kevin immediately. It seemed that he was trying to condemn Madeline for her actions!
Layla was so angry that she turned around and glared at Madeline, raising her hand to slap her.
Slap!
o you think we are! If the Zimmerman family âYou little brat Do you think youâre dauntless? How dare you steal Mr. Zimmermanâs check! Who do you wants to punish us, weâre doomed!â
Just like that, Madeline was slapped without warning She covered her cheeks, and five abrupt fingerprint marks soon appeared on her tanned face.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corner of her eyes were slightly red. She was also breathing heavier than before.
Madeline looked extremely pitiful.
âMrs. Larson Benjamin Sinally regained his senses.
He had really misunderstood Madeline just now.
It all turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Layla looked at Benjamin and felt very guilty. âBenjamin, itâs my fault for not educating my daughter well. Iâm sorry for embarrassing you. Then, she looked at Kevin apologetically. âMrâMr. Zimmerman, please forgive us. Donât hate the Larson family for this. This is all on Madeline. You can punish her as you want, but donât place the blame on the Larson family!â
The passersâby couldnât stand it anymore.
âOuch. She hasnât even figured out the situation, yet she had hit so hard.â
This little girl is so pitiful. Sheâs just here to cash out the cheque, but a group of people bullied her over it. Now, sheâs even getting beatenâ
âIs this seriously her mother! She doesnât even believe her daughter. Her elder sister even fueled the fire and got everyone to blame her younger sister. What a pretentious woman!â
âIsnât this little girl too unlucky!â
Layla was stunned. She didnât know what was going on Kevin almost stood up, but his legs hurt so much that he had to sit back in the wheelchair.
Chapter 16 He finally believed that Madeline was not the daughter loved by the Larson family.
He had really found the wrong person that night.
However, be had a problem now.
Alexander had specifically told Kevin that he couldnât mess with Madeline.
Kevin would be doomed if Alexander had known about what happened that day!
Besides, Alexander even told Kevin to protect Madeline. It seemed that the latter was someone important.
âWhat are you guys doing?â Kevin was speechless. âYou, and you!â He pointed to Francis and Ivy. âI donât want to see you in Calla Bank anymore. Oh, wait. I donât want to see you again in any bank of Acocester The general manager looked serious and immediately said, âFrancis, Ivy, you guys are absurd. Itâs all because of you guys that this lady was insulted like this. You guys have been blacklisted by our bank! Get your belongings and fuck offâ
Francis replied with a pale face. âMr. Zimmerman, itâs not my fault. Itâs because of Ivyâs nonsense. She just fooled me!â
The general manager was so disgusted that he kicked Francis. âDonât you feel embarrassed? Get out of here!â
Seeing that the general manager was furious, Francis fed with Ivy.
However, they knew they had lost their decent and prideful jobs at Calla Bank!
Also, the other banks would blacklist them. They were now in the doghouse.
They shouldnât have thought Madeline was a thief because she wore cheap clothing.
Now, they felt extremely regretful.
Everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere was awkward because of the mess Benjamin used to think the Larson family hated Madeline because of her bad personality.
He suddenly realized it was not exactly the case.
For example, Layla had made her decision way too rashly However, how could Layla know what happened here Benjamin couldnât help but look at Windler. âWinnie, didnât I ask you not to tell your family first!â
