The Remorseful Brothers Novel
Chapter 281

Ethan didn’t pay any attention to Paige. When he realized Layla had arrived, he reached out and handed her an envelope

Then, without saying a

g a word. Ethan turned and walked away

Ethan was naturally reserved and didn’t like talking to people.

Layla was somewhat surprised, unaware of who the man was, but she naturally took the envelope.

Paige looked at Layla, her arms crossed, boldly examining Layla. Paige’s makeup was heavy, and her bright red lips curled into a smile.

Paige said, “Get inside How about a cup of coffee first?”

Layla didn’t open the door. She made sure she was under the surveillance camera, pursed her lips, and asked, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

Paige said, “Think about it, and you can probably already guess who I am. You know well what shady things your family has been up to. Why so vigilant! Pretending to be clueless won’t work.”

Layla looked at Paige, annoyed, and asked, “Are you from the Williams family!”

is family visit was never a good sign. It was almost certain that this woman was here to stir up trouble.

Layla simply wanted to go outside without saying anything to Paige. In her view, the Williams family resembled a gang, and she believed this woman’s visit would likely lead to trouble.

Paige stopped Layla and said, “Don’t hurry off. All those things you’re carrying must be pretty heavy, right? Without any servants at home, you have to do everything yourself.

Paige, always chatry, laughed and added. “Tm the wife of the third son in the Williams family. Don’t worry–our family is different from Daniels We’re more civilized”

Paige glanced at the door and signaled for Layla to open it, saying, “I came alone, so what are you afraid of?

“Besides, why should you be afraid right now? It’s only seven o’clock in the evening. If a ghost were to knock on your door, it would probably do so closer to midnight”

As Paige untered the last sentence, her voice grew colder, and her once–beautiful smile became somewhat frigid, reminiscent of a siren’s, sending shivers down Layla’s spine.

Layla felt a bit uneasy and said, “Let’s just talk here

“Alright.” Paige took a photo out of her handbag, shook it slightly, and then showed it to Layla You recognize her, right! Your daughter,” said Paige “Maddie Layla called out

Paige continued, “Your daughter killed my nephew, Logically, they were around the same age, so some conflict wasn’t unexpected, but it shouldn’t have led to this Life is sacred, and it’s only fair for one life to compensate for another, don’t you think!”

Layla was filled with anger and retorted. “Fair Your nephew was the one who attacked my daughter at night and nearly killed my son

“Do you know we spent hundreds of thousands on my son’s surgery? My son almost didn’t survive.”

Paige waved her hand impatiently, frowning at Layla, and said, “Wait, wait. I don’t want to talk about what happened. It’s useless, and you don’t have any evidence. My nephew was killed, wasn’t he?

“And where’s the proof that my nephew almost killed your son show it to me. Don’t just talk nonsense without any evidence?

Paige scoffed and adjusted her diamond earring elegantly. Then she added, I’m an understanding person. If I weren’t, I wouldn’t be here today to negotiate with you, would

However, at this point. Layla woukla’t back down easily. She wouldn’t do something so foolish.

She knew she had already made too many mistakes.

Layla shouted. If you truly

Paige said wistfully. “Oh, what a loving mother I’ve never been a mother. When I married my husband, he was already fifty and I was only in my twenties. As they say, a weak woman gets strong when she becomes a mother, which is truly great.

“But I’m sorry to tell you, your life isn’t worth much and won’t calm down anyone’s anger.

“Your only option now is to sacrifice your daughter to save the others. Given that we are both women, I strongly suggest you follow my advice. If you don’t the Williams famuly will be furious, and none of your five sons will survive”

“Stop trying to scare me

scare me. What do I have to fear? If my sons aren’t afraid, why should I?” Layla said, even though her hands were already trembling. She added. “I only have this one life, so if you want to punish someone, punish me!”

Paige watched Layla with a smug smile, as if she were looking at an ant. After all Paige was the esteemed Mrs. Williams, married to a very powerful and successful man who wielded great influence. Her life was easy and comfortable. She was always privileged and respected no matter where she

Paige believed that her conversation with Layla had provided Layla with her only opportunity to encounter the upper class in her lifetime.

Paige said. “TII say in one last time, your life isn’t worth anything.

“What I want is your daughter’s life, the one named Madeline Larson, right?

“She’s

is young and pretty, so why did she do such an insane thing?”

Paige said this as she raised her hand, tapping Layla’s cheek with her sunglasses. Her bright red nails shone as she o better make your decision quickly. Once you’ve decided, go and report Madeline for murder.

“Report it anywhere you want, and we’ll know. We’ll be waiting to see how you do

With that. Paige put on her sunglasses and strutted away, leaving the rundown place that would stain her fancy high heels behind.

Once Paige was completely out of sight. Layla dropped the bags of groceries in her hands with a loud thud.

Layla leaned against

Ethan glanced over at Paige and said calmly. “If the Williams family doesn’t stop, you’re really going to get into trouble.”

Paige laughed in disbelief, letting out a sport, and said, “Are you joking? Are you supporting the Larson family? Do you even understand how influential the Williams family is Don’t end up causing trouble for yourself while uying to help those losers.”
