The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Madeline held back the impulse to laugh.

At a time like this. Dagene was showing off his identity.

Eugene twirled a strand of Madeline’s hair and said, “Madeline, could you go out and get me a bottle of water? I need to have a quick word with theou”

Madchor asked, puzzled, “You want some water?”

Eugene replied. “Yesh”

Madeline looked at Eugene, then at the Larson family.

Madeline assumed Fugene wanted to talk to them in private, so she obediently left

Once Madeline had left. Eugene immediately dropped his usual relaxed smile.

He lowered his head, took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, placed one in his mouth, and then pulled out his lighter.

With a soft click, a bright flame flickered to life, illuminating the cigarette

Eugene took a deep drag, his downeast eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes, adding to his intense and moody appearance.

Laura said directly, annoyed, “No smoking here. Do you think this is a place for your street gangi

Eugene didn’t care what she said at all.

He walked over to the couch and sat casually, with one hand holding the cigarette and the other resting on the couch, his right leg stretched out

onto the coffee table.

Ruth’s face contorted as if she had just bitters into a sour Jemon, and she barked, “Get him out of here now!

“No, I want to charge him with trespassing and let him spend some time in jai

Eugene blew out a puff of smoke, his eyes taking on a slightly cold and mysterious look

Eugene said, “Mr. Larson, don’t play the elder card

“Disrespecting me won’t do you any good”

Ruth’s demeanor became icy, her expression so dark that it felt as if a storm were looming

Ruth asked. “Do you think you’re impressive? Do you think being a hero will win Madeline’s heart!

“This is the Larson residence, not a place fo

for panks like you to mess around!

If you cause trouble at my place, you’ll pay a terribly steep price!

Buth was truly mud now

Her voice cracked as she scolded Eugene.

At the Larson residence. Ruch reigned supreme. If this were ancient times, it wouldn’t be hard to picture her wearing a crown and governing with grace and authority

Ruth considered herself a prominent woman, a leading businesswoman of her time, ranking first in the nation

Ruth didn’t think she was any less capable than any man.

Eugene, however, had the audacity to challenge Ruth’s authority in her own domain, leaving her preoccupied with thoughts of how to punish him.

If it weren’t for living in a law–abiding society. Buth would’ve definitely beaten Eugene up and thrown him into a slum to feed the dogs.

Eugene had no idea how old–fashioned Ruth was. If he knew what she was thinking, he’d probably die laughing right here,

Sharon sighed and said, “Mr. Sharp, can we discuss this calmly! No matter what. Mrs. Larson is an elder.

“I know you have considerable standing in Japris, and many people respect you.

Tin this in the Larson Lamily, after all.

What Sharon meant was that Eugene shouldn’t disrespect the host while in someone else’s home.

However, Vanessa thought Eugene was both attractive and cool, yet it seemed like he was really getting himself into trouble.

Vanessa wondered. ‘He’s just a bit impulsive.”

Thinking this way, Vanessa didn’t really feel any hostility towards Eugene

She actually had a crush on someone

e like Eugene and found herself curious about what he saw in Madeline.

Vanessa thought, ‘Madeline can only cause Eugene trouble. She just left him there alone and ran off by herself.

“What a materialistic and mean woman!‘

Vanessa believed that Eugene’s devotion was unappreciated. If she had been with him, she would have definitely treasured his strength and good

looks.

Eugene quietly finished his cigarette. He only smoked when he was really annoyed.

This was the first cigarette he had smoked all year.

With his current status, it was rare for Eugene to feel upset.

Farlier, in front of Madeline, Eugene had to hold buck his irritation.

Now, he felt there was no need to suppress himself.

Eugene put out the cigarette and took a deep breath of smoke before the security arrived, his voice turning a bit husky, “How about we talk about some of the Larson family’s dirty secrets?”

Ruch didn’t take his words seriously

However, the underestimated Eugene

Eugene possessed the most extensive information network within Phantom Organization. He not only knew the secrets of the Larson family but also uncovered scandals spanning three generations.

Eugene’s department was Phantom Organization’s ears, specializing in collecting all sorts of information.

Eugene propped his chin on his hand and smiled slightly

After ten minutes. Ruth watched gravely as Eugene left the Larson residence.

Madeline was at the door, pacing with a bottle of water in hand, feeling utterly bored.

She had already sent a message to Eugene, but he hadn’t replied.

It wasn’t until Madeline heard the footsteps that she relaxed a bit. “Are yo

you okay. Eugene?” asked Madeline.

“What could possibly happen to me?” Eugene replied, taking the bottle of water and continuing. I always say, we should respect the elderly and be kind to other

“Mrs. Larson had some prejudice against me at first, but once she saw how

“I’m totally fine! Mrs. Larson would even gladly give us her house if I asked

Madeline tilted her head, trying to spot any hint of deceit on Eugene’s face. She asked, “Senously nothing happened? Are you just joking to relieve

me?

Eugene raised darling”

a hand to gently tousle her hair and said, “Everything’s fine. It’s a minor issue. If I couldn’t handle this, I wouldn’t deserve to be your

Madeline wrinkled her nose and said, “However, Mrs. Larson seems really stubborn, and she’s not the easiest person to deal with.

–“Better to offend a gentleman than asidrel

“What if the secretly holds a grudge and takes it out on you!”

If it had been anyone else. Madeline wouldn’t have felt so worried at all. However, Ruth was a power player among the Top Ten Families, someone not to be messed with.

Eugene affectionately pinched Madeline’s cheek and said, “Looks like my darling is a bit of a scaredy eat.

11:03 AM

He couldn’t resist pinching her cheek again, overwhelmed by how adorable she was.

Eugene continued, “I’ll be your protector until you gain strength. Once you’re powerful, I’ll be the one supporting you from behind.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got you” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Madeline felt moved but couldn’t resist correcting Eugene. “Eugene, I’m not your wife. Aren’t you embarrassed to keep calling me your darling?”

Eugene didn’t care about this at all.

Madeline could be anyone’s friend.

But she was only Eugene’s darling

Inside the villa, Ruth was sitting on the couch with a stern face, and Laura didn’t even dare to speak.

Ruth radiated a menacing and heavy presence, with her clouded eyes concealing a turbulent storm within.

Everyone had things he wanted to keep hidden.

Maybe those secrets didn’t bother Ruth privately, but once exposed, it would be unbearably embarrassing.

Ruth clenched her fists and raised her cane, smashing it heavily on the coffee table and shattering the glass vase.

Ruth was breathing heavily, her body swaying slightly. The confidence and oppressive aura she once exuded had mostly disappeared. She asked, “Who is he? Why

Ruth looked at Laura and gritted her teeth, saying. “Have someone look into Eugene. Find out exactly who he is!”

This time, her tone had completely lost any trace of disdain

Instead, it was extremely serious.

Sharon was standing quietly to the side, not surprised by the outcome. After all, those people were powerful, and it was wise not to provoke them. Sharon felt relieved that she hadn’t done anything foolish this time.

In the future, the Larson family would recognize the importance of avoiding unnecessary conflict, which would be a good thing.
