Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Layla heard the sound of gossip in the auditorium, rushing toward her like waves She picked up the flowers in embarrassment. The water bag under the bouquet had leaked, and the bouquet was wet. The moment she picked up the bouquet, her clothes got wet as well.

This made her even angrier.

“It’s all Madeline’s fault! All the embarrassment today is because of Madelinel” she thought.

Layla ran down the stage in a mess.

She thought she was about to catch up with Madeline but was blocked by three men.

Nolan still smiled faintly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Caleb stared at her with cold, dark eyes.

Gavin crossed his arms in front of his chest with a smirk and then placed one hand on Madeline’s shoulder, leaning on her as if he had no bones.

Madeline looked back and asked, “W “What else do you want to say?”

“N–No.. I’m done” Layla stepped back and was a little scared.

The three of them did not look easy to deal with.

A strong sense of pressure and danger pervaded Before Layla could figure it out her body had subconsciously stepped back a few steps. “I’m just walking by here. I have nothing to say?

Gavin raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Some people talk tough up till the last moment before they go bankrupt Caleb sneered. “Some people refuse to be convinced until they are faced with grim reality”

Layla practically fled.

She had never thought that she would be in such disgrace in front of Madeline.

It was all because these three backers were too powerful.

“Madeline was lucky that she came to have such strong support. The moment she loses such her suppon, she would be nothing thought Layla The vicious thoughts ran through Layla’s mind, and she vowed to someday see Madeline crying in front of her.

Winslet had already registered at the vocational school.

She waited in class for the counselor to hold a meeting for the freshmen, and she felt uncomfortable staying with a group of academic underachievers.

Moreover, the students were of a mix of good and bad quality, and the way they spoke was stupid.

Winslet was not used to dealing with them at all. Her former friends were from prestigious families, and none of their were such low–level people.

She sat in the back row. Four or five rather good–looking boys sat in front of her.

She had some thoughts of talking to them, but the boys were discussing with each other with their phones in their hands. They didn’t even look at her y looked at bort Even if they at her, they would just be holding back their laughter.

Winslet felt very angry.

If she hadn’t been injured, she would have attracted attention everywhere.

The boys were laughing-

“I heard that there was a beautiful girl from the Faculty of Management during the opening of the undergraduate school. Look at her picture” “Wow, she’s really beautiful. She looks like she dropped down from heaven.

“She’s such a good–looking girl and also a top student. She definitely won’t be interested in us 11:37 AM Chapter 83 “I heard her name is Madeline. Let’s try our luck at the undergraduate school tomorrow.”

“No way. How could you even dream of that? Have you looked into a mirror lately?”

Winslet heard their conversation “Madeline? She’s the one that these boys are calling a goddess?” she thought Winslet’s eyes flashed, and her expression was a little strange.

Her eyes were flickering with jealousy, and she listened with gritted teeth.

When she was in high school, Madeline was just an ugly duckling whose father and mother didn’t love her.

Even Benjamin also only used her as a substitute.

Winslet was the most eye–catching campus belle.

Now, Madeline was shining brightly over there, attracting the admiration of so many people.

They were both registering on the first day of school, and Madeline proudly attended undergraduate university.

As for Winslet, she was here, miserably sitting with these sorts of students.

“What’s the use of attending vocational school! Is that academic qualification even presentable?” she thought, Winslet’s tears came to her eyes, and she was so aggrieved.

She would tell Harley tonight and ask him to arrange for her to be transferred to an undergraduate program.

The first day of school soon ended.

Winslet didn’t expect Layla to come with Harley to pick her up.

She sensitively realized that the atmosphere seemed wrong After they got in the car, Winslet pretended to sound heartbroken as she said. “Harley, you must have had a hard day since today was the first day of school. Why did you come back after going to the hospital? What did the doctor say? Is everything okay?”

Harley drove the car without saying a word.

“Mom, did you go to see Maddie today? How did it go with Maddie? It will be her birthday soon. We must give her a good celebration this year-”

Screech!

The car screeched to a stop abruptly.

The sudden brake caused everyone in the car to rock forward.

Layla hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with you, Harley!”

Harley, who had always been gentle, wore a terrible expression at this time.

He was practically roaring as he uttered, “Can you stop going to see Madeline? Why do you have to go against her? Now, the Larson family is ruined, and so is my career! Winslet, what happened to you after high school? Why can’t you go to university with your own ability?”

Layla couldn’t stand it anymore. “How could you say that to Winnie? She failed to get into university all because Madeline kept threatening her every day=”

as very furic “Shut up. okay!” Harley was very furious.

In the e past, he loved Winslet and did not hesitate to threaten Madeline’s interests.

That was because he had no feelings for Madeline His bias caused him to think that it didn’t matter sacrificing Madeline for Winslet’s good.

After all, Madeline was just an outsider.

However, now, it was his own interests that were threatened.

Harley sneered, “It’s all because of your indulgencet She’s just an adopted daughter! Haha. You will only be satisfied when our whole family is destroyed, right?”

1137 AM c Chapter 83 With bloodshot eyes, Harley opened the car door and strode out. He stopped a taxi that happened to pass by, no longer bothering about the two.

Winslet was shocked and was crying. “Layla, why did he say that about me?”

As Winslet spoke, she sobbed sadly.

But Layla didn’t have any thoughts of comforting her.

After all, Winslet was indeed an adopted daughter. Not only was she useless to the family, but she also brought so much trouble to the family.

Layla was exhausted.

Although she still loved Winslet, some other emotions had arisen in her because of her son’s words.

Madeline followed Gavin out of the school.

The other two guys had already gone back.

Gavin walked with quick and light footsteps and had one hand in his pocket. His shadow was long under the street lights.

Madeline glanced at Gavin.

Gavin was a lot like the most eye–catching person in school. Everywhere he went, he always looked high–spirited and glowing.

“I came to school yesterday. I’m already familiar with the surroundings here.”

Gavin walked to the back street and bought a drink at a coffee house In the dark spot next to them, a couple was tugging at one another.

On a small staircase directly above them, the sign of couples‘ accommodation was flashing with neon lights. The atmosphere was full of love.

Madeline glanced curiously, realized what was going on, and quickly looked away, blushing slightly.

Gavin put his hand on her shoulder, bent down, and whispered, “Do you want to go and have a look! I can keep you company He lowered his eyes slightly and spoke those words seductively under the street lights in the crowded back street.

His attractive eyes w were deep, and he seemed to look at anyone with deep affection “It would be my first time-” he began but immediately gasped.

Madeline stepped on Gavin’s foot angrily and snorted when she saw his face full of pain.

She said angrily, “If you continue talking nonsense, I won’t hold back!”

“You’re ruthless,” the young man complained in chagrin and felt a little aggrieved. After a while, he smiled recklessly. “All right.

Stop being angry.”

He rubbed Madeline’s head and said, “I was just kidding
