The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 290 Madeline frowned as she listened to Eugeneâs words Anyone would I get the chills if they ran into such a creep.
Madeline seemed deep in thought. She picked up a glass of orange juice, biting on the straw without saying a Eugene ud, âDonât worry too much. Weâre all keeping all eye out. We wonât let you be in any danger? Madeline sighed and said.
âI trust you guys, but itâs just that it feels odd, 1...â
âOh, youâre all here. I thought you hadnât arrived yet, a manâs voice sounded from behind them.
Madeline turned around and saw a man who was slouching, person 1. g. His round face appeared to be harmless, suggesting he was a cheerful and relaxed at to meet you tonightâ
The man introduced himself, Tim Harry Campbell, Ms. Larson. Iâve often heard Mr. Sharp talk about you. Itâs great to et you Madeline looked at Harry and nodded politely with a smile, saying, âNice to meet Harry said, âMr. Sharp told me to keep an eye on Karen for you. Iâll let you know if there are any updatesâ
Madeline understood Eugeneâs intention and said, âYouâre part of the information network. So if I want to find out something else, can I ask you!â âOh, Ms. Larson, youâre too kind! Just let me know what you need, and Iâll gladly share whatever I can,â Harry said with a cheerful smile, as friendly After a while. Eugene went off to drink with some people.
After all, he was the host of the party, and it wouldnât have been right to ignore the guests, especially since some of them were Eugeneâs friends, As Eugene was about to leave, he asked Madeline to wait for him.
She patiently waited. Then she stood up to grab a plate of fruit. With just a few pieces of watermelon on the plate, Madeline sensed an unfriendly stare behind her.
Someone said, âIsnât this woman the one Monica posted about on Instagram? Sheâs completely on Monicaâs bad side. I donât know why, but we should probably keep our distanceâ
Another woman agreed, saying, âAbsolutely. Monica is formidable, and when she targets someone, i itâs as if youâre facing a persistent cobra,â
Someone asked, âWho knows what she did? She might have stolen Monicaâs boyfriend or offended her by saying something wrong!â
Given Monicaâs reputation for holding grudges, they didnât delve deeply into the issue. If it had been a truly serious matter, Monica would have taken action beyond merely posting about Madeline on Instagram Someone said, âSheâs really pretty, but sheâs probably just a fake girl,â
Another person stated, âIt doesnât matter who she is. Sheâs already on the social eliteâs blacklist, so it suffices to know sheâll never get into the circleâ
Someone else said, âI just saw her with Mr. Sharp. Sheâs probably not interested in joining any highâsociety circles. She just wants to latch onto a rich guy Madeline listened to their words and thought they really had too much free time.
Madeline thought. âThey certainly enjoy gossiping behind others backs. However, thereâs no need to be afraid of Monica. She only dares to post about me on Instagram:
Madeline snorted and walked toward the women gossiping about her, carrying a fruit platter.
One of the women looked a bit embarrassed and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
Madeline said, âWerenât you talking about me? Go ahead. I love gossip too. You donât mind if I listen, right?â
Madeline was taller than most girls, with smooth skin and a slim figure, making her very eyeâcatching. Her clear eyes stared at the women, making them feel slightly guilty.
Another woman replied with irritation. âWe were indeed discussing you, but we didnât make any false statements. Monica did upload your photo on 1131 MM ·
Chapter 290 Instagram and commented negatively. However, we hold no personal grudges against you?
Someone midged the woman and whispered, âStop it, really. If Monica finds out you shared her Instagram secrets.
Madeline reached out and said. âSince you told me, let me have a look.â
The woman clearly chose not to show it to Madelme, as Monica had insulted her by calling her derogatory names on Instagram, content that would be inappropriate for Madeline to witness, The woman said. âWeâve got things to do, so we canât chat with you now. Well, maybe you should ask Monica directly The group quickly made a hasty retreat Looking back, the women observed Eugene approach Madeline and tenderly pinch her cheek. He then leaned in, slightly tipsy, and whispered something into Madeline sear They felt a bit of regret telling all that to Madeline.
Madeline was the first woman who managed to capture the heart of Eugene, and upsetting him was not a good idea.
Eugene led Madeline out of the party, pretending to be weak on the sidewalk. He bent over, resting his head on her soft and warm neck, breathing heavily. âHoney, I feel so hot and dizzy,â murmured Eugene âIf you canât handle your alcohol, how do you manage this job? Madeline leaned closer, searching him over for something. With their height difference. Madeline looked a bit clumsy, Eugene asked, âMaddie, what are you doing? Even though Iâve had too much, I can still arouseâ
Madelineâs face flushed, and she said, âWhat are you talking ab talking about? Iâm looking for your keys! Do you even know which pocket you put them int Eugene shook his head, leaning against Madeline sluggishly He whispered. âI donât remember... Uch..
Usually, Eugene appeared bold and charming but right now he seemed tender, like a cute and vulnerable puppy He feigned intoxication, aware that Madeline was unaware of his usual dominance in the bar scene, where he consumed alcohol as if it inconsequential. A few drinks simply couldnât affect him.
Madeline finally pulled out the car key from Eugeneâs pocket and supported him as she stumbled a bit. She blamed âWhy did you drink so much! Lean against this post for a bit, and donât fall over. Iâll drive the car over, and you stay under the camera. Donât wander off before I get back.â
Eugene squinted and nodded with a grin, saying, I promise Iâll stay right here and wait for you, darling...
His eyes, slightly glazed from a mild drunkenness, betrayed his state. He lifted his hand, which wavered slightly, then he leaned against a post and bowed his head. falling into an uncomfortable silence. He even undid a few buttons on his shirt, exposing the pale and flushed skin beneath Madeline quickly went to get the car.
Las possible.
She was really worried Eugene might do something on the sidewalk, so it was best to get him home as soon as Someone approached Eugene and said kindly. They, Mr. Sharp, why are you so drunk? Want us to give you a n Eugene lifted his head, made sure that Madeline had disappeared, and chuckled. He took out a piece mouth with a dusdamful look, saying. Drink! Those no idea what being drunk feels like.â
