Chapter 122

“Madeline?” Alexander glanced sideways at the photo, puzzled. “Why do you have a picture of her on your phone?”

“She’s from the Larson family, involved in this matchmaking process, Nick said, casually texting Anna that it wasn’t bad.

Alexander shook his head. “Unbelievable. Why is the Horton family acting like they’re selecting a queen? What kind of modern society still does

Nick asked, confused, “Do you know her?”

“She” Alexander started but didn’t continue. Tve seen her before. Her last name is Larson. I didn’t know she was also set up for a date with you.”

“The Lamon family is nearly dropping out of the Top Ten Families, so they want to use this marriage to boost their status. Nick saw through everything. “It’s very beneficial for us too, as they say, it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.”

Alexander figured it out. The Larson family wanted to ingratiate themselves with the Horton family, That was why they came up with this queen- selection drami

f you ask me, you can choose anyone else, but not Madeline. I advise against considering her,” said Alexander.

Nick was confused. “Why? What’s the reason!”

“Trust me, man. I wouldn’t lead you astray,” said Alexander eamesily.

Nick didn’t take his words seriously. Right now, the one he felt most favorable toward was Madeline. Yet, the final decision depended on his family’s consideration. All in all, he didn’t really mind who his fiancée was.

Madeline was unaware of what was happening behind the scenes. She was supposed to be Yohannes‘ assistant this morning, but he canceled the plans at the last minute. So, she decided to just stay home and rest.

“Get up.” Gavin said, knocking on the door with a pretty dress in hand. Is your birthday today. You don’t want to spend the whole day stuck inside, do you?r

“Huh?” Madeline got up. “Is there something else planned! I was hoping to sleep in today.”

“Nope.” Gavin brought the dress inside, grumbling with displeasure. Tve got everything planned out. You’re coming with me to the zoo this morning to watch the money show, and then we’ll head to the villa for a birthday celebration with the guys.”

“Dressing up this fancy to go

Madeline didn’t quite understand what he meant by “watch the monkey show“. She just thought he was being childish. “D to the zoo People might think I’m the monkey”

Gavin pinched her soft cheeks and said. “Even if you’re a monkey, you’d be the e cutest female monkey in the zoo”

“That’s too much Madeline pinched him back. Seeing him wince in pain, she huffed. “You’re the monkey”

“Big monkey” Gavin teased her. “Of course, you’re the female monkey, and I’m the male monkey. Every morning we’ll go pick fruits together. If we’re in a bad mood, we’ll give the tourists a hard time. How about that?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Madeline realized that it was really hard to stay mad at Gavin’s charming face. Only after she had finished getting ready and arrived at the Larson residence did she truly understand what a “zoo” it was

She shot Gavin a dangerous look. “How dare you bring me here!”

Gavin chuckled, “Weren’t they practically begging you to come! With such sincerity, we shouldn’t let them down.

When Madeline caught the mischievous glint in his eyes, she quietly tucked away her frustration. Initially, she thought that returning to the Larson redence would fill her with dread and defiance. But with Gavin by her side, her strongest support, she was completely confident that she wouldn’t be wronged or harmed in any way.

Madeline gently rugged on Gavin’s shin, gazing at him with trust. “Gavin

“I am curious too. What was your past like?” asked Gavin

Madeline’s long eyelashes thattered. “You wouldn’t want to know

Gavin united with an inscrutable expression

The people at the entrance were puzzled when they saw an gasped, “Mi. Larson is back!.

aw an exotic sports car parked there. It wasn’t until Madeline stepped out (the car that they

Hurry up. Inform Mr. and Mrs. Larson. Ms. Larson is finally back!”

“We thought Ms. Larson wouldn’t come back, but here she is!”

The servants were thrilled. Layla and Thomas were having coffee with Sharon, and they immediately smiled when they heard the news.

Layla didn’t immediately rush to welcome Madeline. She turned to Sharon instead. “Sharon, please take a look at Maddie. You know our family’s not well–off, and if Maddie could marry Nick, it would be a great blessing for us. We will always remember your kindness.”

Sharon didn’t mind her words and smilled faintly, “We’re all family, so it’s the same for everyone. The main thing is whether she has the ability to be chosen, right, Layla”

“Of course,” Layla replied with an awkward smile

Winslet held her cup tightly, casting a spiteful glare toward the door.

Soon, a tall, slender girl entered, wearing a cream–colored dress. Her long hair flowed freely, her skin seemed to glow, and her expression was as cold as ice. Beside her was a handsome, rebellious young man.

Sharon’s gaze fell on Madeline, filled with approval and amazement. “Maddie, come sit over here with me.”

Madeline noticed Sharon and hesitated slightly, frowning. This was her aunt from the Larson family. In her previous life, Madeline had rarely interacted with the Larson family in Japrium, and even when she did, it wasn’t pleasant. So, her attitude was not very warm. She walked over calmly and sat down, showing no intention of pleasing Sharon.

“Maddie, aren’t

‘t you going to greet Sharon! She traveled all the way from Japrium to see you,” Layla said with a cheerful smile, as if she had forgotten everything from before. “You’re such an inconsiderate kid. When will you start learning from Winnie? It would be great if you could speak even half as well as she does.

Winslet curled her lips slightly, feeling secretly pleased with herself.

Layla poured a cup of coffee for Madeline, but Madeline didn’t take it

Madeline lifted her gaze, her long eyelashes casting a shadow over her indifferent eyes. “You asked me to come back, so it seems your intentions aren’t straightforward. What kind of trap is this?”

Layla’s smile became stiff. “Maddie, what nonsense are you talking about? We just wanted to throw a nice birthday party for you. You’re overthinking it

Sharon observed Madeline’s ethereal aura. She seemed a bit aloof, yet she had confidence and composure. She was pretty decent. If her personality could be mellowed a little, she might bring significant advantages to the Larson family in terms of forming marriage alliances. For the family, she would be a valuable pawn.

“Maddie, don’t misunderstand and there’s no need to be cautious. I’m simply here to see you. You’re eighteen now. It’s the first time I’m visiting Sharon took a box out of her bag and opened it to reveal a beautiful gold inlaid emerald bracelet. “I bought it yesterday as a little gift for meeting
