The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 143 Gloria quickly looked at Madeline's expression and said. "Mr. Larson, this..." "It's nothing. The Zook family's bankruptcy has probably put them in a bad mood. That's normal, Thomas said.

Seeing Madeline's leisurely appearance, Jenny was even more angry. She roared, "I'm telling you, even if my daughter's situation has nothing to do with you, don't think you can chere and act out on my turf! This is not a place for someone as lowly as your Madeline raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that so! As far as I know, the Zook family has already gone bankrupt and is waiting for someone to take over.

"Yeah, so what? Can you afford it? Do you even realize your status? Just this house alone is worth 10 million dollars! Can you cup with that! Hmph, that's already a bargain price. Normally, it would be around 18 million dollars. Don't even think about it otherwise!" Madeline looked at the house and said fairly, "It's indeed a nice house, 10 million dollars is reasonable.” Hearing this, Jenny sneered, "Oh, still pretending? Then go ahead and buy it! The contract's right here. If you've got the guts, put up the money" Though Jenny was already in a dire situation, she still looked down on Madeline, thinking she was inferior.

Madeline shook her head and said critically, "This house is good, but the geomancy is terrible. First, your daughter went crazy, and now your family has gone bankrupt. I'd say the gromancy is definitely bad." Jenny clenched her teeth and was furious. She had heard enough about the geomancy being bad today The house was easily worth around 18 million dollars, and now it was being bargained down to 10 million dollars, with more people trying to lower it further Jenny snapped, "Bad geomancy? Just admit you can't afford it and stop putting on a show!" Sean, already irritated, waved his hand in frustration, slumping in his chair, and said, "Stop causing trouble. Leave, We don't have tfor you." "Be careful how you speak," Gloria said, holding her briefcase tightly, feeling her nerves standing on end.

It was her first taccompanying Madeline, and she had to face the situation now. She was practically crying inside "Ill speak however I want. If you can afford it, buy it. If not, leave," Sean said.

Madeline's gaze was full of mockery. She said, "I chere to check on Jasmine, as we were classmates. I wanted to bring sfruit to visit her, but 1 cin a rush, so I didn't buy any." Jenny, enraged, rushed forward to attack. She felt that Madeline was truly shameless. She yelled, "Get out of here! You don't need to worry about my daughter! Jenny knew she had been rude to Madeline last tat the police station, and now Madeline was probably holding a grudge, choosing this moment to rub salt in the wound.

She was distraught at the mention of Jasmine Madeline did not insist. She said, "Alright, since today isn't convenient, I'll leave. I hope your asset liquidation goes s Jenny snorted coldly, not at all welcoming of Madeline.

Just then, someone arrived outside.

Jenny's expression brightened as she recognized Willow.

She quickly mustered her energy to greet her. "Ms. Hayes, I didn't expect you to ctoday!" smoothly Jenny was genuinely grateful. Everyone else had been avoiding the Zook family, and those who did visit were just small-topportunists looking for a bargain. But someone as prominent as Willow coming over was a big deal. If she showed her support, others would surely follow.

She offered "Please, Ms. Hayes, have scoffee.

Theard the Zook family is in trouble, so I cto check Willow said, then turned to Madeline and Gloria with a smile. She said, “Ms. Larson. 1 didn't expect to see you here. It's rare to catch a glimpse of someone as elusive as you Gloria, feeling indignant, crossed her arms and said. “Ms. Hayes, as soon as we arrived, this woman insulted Ms. Larson from head to toe. Her arrogance is off the charts, and we're leaving now? Willow looked disapprovingly at Jenny and asked, "What's going on! It's a privilege for Ms. Larson to cto your place, and yet you're driving her Chapter 143 away!" ng on student grants.

Jenny retorted, "Ms. Larson! You've been deceived! She was just a poor student in my daughter's class, always in rags, relying on Willow's face darkened as she scolded, “What nonsensel Ms. Larson only returned from overseas this year. She's the CEO of Glorious Group and never even attended high school here. You must have mistaken her for someone else!" Jenny was shocked and said, "Ms. Hayes, you must be joking." "Whether I'm joking or not, you can look it up yourself," Willow said impatiently. "You really don't know how to handle things Then, she said to Madeline, "Ms. Larson, may I invite you to a coffee house? I've been wanting to chat with you, if I have the honor." Madeline glanced at Jenny and Sean, their expressions a sight to behold.

Sean had already stood up and hurried over to block her way. He said, "Wait! This must be a misunderstanding. Ms. Larson... Ms. Larson.....the CEO of Glorious Group! This is our fault!" Madeline waved her hand and said, "Sorry, I don't have tto chat. I'm leaving now" Gloria felt triumphant, giving the couple a sharp look. It's too late to regret, she thought.

The couple, swallowing their pride, urged them to stay. But, Madeline had already strode out.

They hurried after them, bowing and apologizing.

The scene was witnessed by Harper, who had just coutside to pick up a food delivery. She was stunned and covered her mouth in shock. What the heck? Are they actually apologizing to Maddie? Am I seeing this right? And that person with Maddie is none other than the business legend, Willow? she thought Harper was completely bewildered. Seeing them approaching, she quickly shrank back and hid inside. Willow looked at the Zook family and sighed. "You've offended Glorious Group. Now that you're selling your assets, who would dare buy them?" Having said her piece, Willow left with Madeline.

Sean slumped against the wall. Without it for support, he would have collapsed to the ground.

"It's over. Completely over. The Glorious Group... no wonder I thought she looked familiar," he said.

He glared furiously at Jenny and scolded, "You wretched woman! You insisted she was spoor student, and now you've ruined our family! Your worthless daughter gambled at Spring Breeze Casino and racked up a debt of 320 million dollars. Even if I give my life. I can't repay that' In a fit of rage, Sean declared, "I think we should get divorced now. You take the daughter, and I'll take the son.

At least I can keep the family line going!" Jenny exploded in anger, roaring, "How can you say that? Where's your conscience? You're just going to abandon us like this?"

"What else can I do? Who got us into and get this mess? Let's go to the City Hall right now, while it's still open, and divorced if we follow my plan, at least our son will be safe, and you'll only have to spend a few years in prison" Jenny cried and screamed hysterically.

Not far away, Madeline heard the shouting and fighting. A faint, cold smile appeared on her lips.

The Zook family brought this upon themselves. Speople just never learned to stop when they were ahead.
