The Remorseful Brothers Novel
Chapter 89

Madeline chatted with Nolan for a while as

ate.

She was almost finished by the time Caleb came downstairs.

Gavin was right behind Caleb.

“Maddie, how are you?” Gavin came over and touched Madeline’s forehead. “It feels normal now.”

Hazel walked toward them in a hurry.

“Some people are asking to meet with you outside. It’s the Moore family.”

Caleb crossed his hands and stroked the rosary beads, “Invite them inside.”

Madeline shot him a confused glance. The Moore family are here for Benjamin?”

Regina and Joshua waited at the gate anxiously.

When Hazel finally came to open the door, they hurried in

They were about to reach the front door when Regina’s stride slowed. “Honey, what if it has nothing to do with them? Benjamin has been acting strange lately and was often missing.”

Joshua replied. “His car is here, so obviously, this is where he’s gone missing. I’m just scared that they won’t admit it. Recently, he has been saying that Alina is Madeline. I guess that was why he came here,”

Walking into the spacious and luxurious living room, they spotted Madeline.

Madeline sat at the dining table, sipping on a bowl of soup.

Regina also noticed the three men sitting next to Madeline upon entering. She didn’t have a choice but to lower her voice.

“You’re having dinner. I’m sorry that we came at a bad time.”

Joshua asked, “Ms. Larson, did my son come here to see you today?”

“Ms. Larson?” Madeline raised her eyebrows and looked up at the newcomers. It seems that you’ve found out.”

Regina’s face changed slightly “You’re truly Madeline?”

An anxious thought crossed her mind. If Alina is really Madeline, then the recent events can be explained, but that means…

We offended such a powerful person!

In the past, when Madeline was their to–be–daughter–in–law, Regina often wore contempt on her face.

After all, Madeline had come from a small–time family. Thus, Regina had always looked down on her.

Although Madeline had good grades, she was a simple person. She was also very polite to Regina

Yet, in Regina’s opinion, those qualities were not as important as one’s birth.

Every time they met, Regina would run her mouth and ridicule Madeline.

She changed her attitude because she thought Madeline died to save her son.

“Mrs. Moore, are you surprised? Seeing how our relationship is, I thought you’d already known.”

Madeline smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “We seem to have had a lot of interactions. Regardless, I am not the old Madeline anymore.”

Regina’s face turned pale, and her smile faltered. “I’m sorry for being ignorant before. I thought…”

“You thought I was playing up to your son?”

“No, no, no…” Regina swallowed. “Everything was my fault in the past. My son has nothing to do with it. His feelings for you were

“Well, how responsible of you,” Madeline said casually, putting down the spoon. “Benjamin has indeed been here today. He follow him abroad.”

Joshua was shocked. “I’m sorry for my son’s ignorancel”

“With her current background and three powerful men around her.

There’s no way she will still like Benjamin, thought Joshua.

Annoyance filled Joshua at his son’s impulsiveness.

“Where is my son now?”

Madeline frowned and feigned ignorance. “I don’t know about that. He kept putting his hands on me that time, but Caleb caught him. Afterward. I don’t know what happened after

Hearing Madeline’s words, Gavin could not help but smile.

Regina’s and her husband’s heads snapped to Caleb with looks of horror.

They both thought, “If Benjamin is in the hands of Mr. Simmons, even if he’s not dead, he will be soon.

“M–Mr. Simmons…

Caleb didn’t even spare them a glance. After hearing that Regina had made things difficult for Madeline before, his mood plummeted.

“Get someone to throw them out,”

to step

His voice was cold and merciless

“Also, spread the news that anyone who dares to cooperate with the Moore family will be going against me. I don’t mind destroying the businesses in Acocester one by one.

He lifted his p gaze and looked straight at the couple. Do you think bullying people with lower social statuses is fun?”

Despair was written across Regina’s face.

Gavin sneered with arrogance in his eyes. “Isn’t it embarrassing to praise your son in public? He’s a two–timer and took advantage of Maddie’s honesty. You should be grateful that we, as her brothers, didn’t seek to make you pay. Yet, you come knocking on our door seeking your own death. I guess I’ll make the Moore family disappear.”

“It’s all Benjamin’s fault!” Joshua was extremely calm at that moment. “It’s our fault as parents that Benjamin is who he is today. The fault lies entirely in Benjamin and us. Mr. Simmons, I hope you can have some mercy and spare the Moore family.

“Yes! Please spare the Moore family. We’ll stop asking about Benjamin. Panic filled Regina as well.

Regretful thoughts flitted across her mind. Tve already lost a son. I can’t lose the family’s business too.

This is really painful.

Caleb did not take their pleas seriously.

He thought, ‘Do they think I’ll let them off the hook with just a couple of apologies?

How can that be possible?

now?

If Maddie doesn’t have her current identity and our support, will the Moore family members change their minds and treat her well like

Obviously, that’s impossible. They’ll continue bullying her.

“If you keep talking, you will die together.

When Caleb curled his lips, he looked a bit manic. He gazed at them with amusement.

Joshua knew the odds were no longer in their favor, so he took Regina and left in a flurry.

Madeline propped her chin on her palm and wondered, “Did we cross a line by treating Benjamin’s parents like this?”

“But…This is already the outcome of Caleb’s mercy,” she thought as she glanced at Caleb.

“Maddie, don’t be soft–hearted.” Nolan smiled faintly with his eyes lowered, hiding his feelings.

“They won’t spare you because of your kindness. The only reason they gave in was their fear of the power I hold.”

He thought with certainty, “I’m sure the Moore family won’t hold back once their power surpasses mine.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Besides, driving them into bankruptcy isn’t even a punishment.”

“I understand, Nolan Madeline looked at Nolan and scrunched her nose. “Kindness towards the enemy meant being cruel to yourself, right?”

Nolan smiled and touched her ears with his cold fingertips. “Did both your ears hear that?”

“I guarantee you, they heard it

Gavin snorted and sighed. “You should be more discriminating.”

“Caleb, did you really kill Benjamin?

Caleb chuckled, “No. You said before that no lives should be taken. Naturally, I remember that. Didn’t he say he’s going abroad? I’ll send him abroad then.

Caleb turned to look at Madeline and said, “I told you that I would remember every word you said. Now, am I a man of my word?” Madeline nodded fervently and showered him with praises.
