The Remorseful Brothers Novel

chapter 8



Winsler rejoiced in secret when she heard that. She thought that Madeline was indeed digging her own grave.

“Madeleine’s relationship with Mom was already in such bad shape, but still, she dares to aggravate her. In retrospect, what Madeleine did will further highlight my merits and make the family members love me even more,” Winslet thought.

“Don’t be angry, Mom. Being angry so early in the morning is bad for your health. Maddie is still young and ignorant. You shouldn’t be bothered by her,said Winslet

“You are still the sensible one, Winnie. Melanie acts without self–respect and cares not for her own reputation. She’ll regret it when she makes a fool of herself and ends up in a scandal.”

Winslet glanced at the closed door, a tint of mockery reflected in her expression.

It’ll be better if there is a scandal. Then, she absolutely has no cause to compete with me,” thought Winslet scornfully.

Madeline, who was in the room, could not hear their conversation. Since she had pulled an all–nighter, she was already in deep slumber when she

hit the sick.

She slept until dinner time. Everyone else had finished eating and left the dining table.

Lucas was the only one sitting opposite Madeline when she took her seat.

He was leaning against the back of his chair and had Bluetooth headphones on

He looked gloomy and irritated. It was as if dark clouds were hanging over him, which made him feel melancholy.

Lucas sighed. The sounds coming from his headphone came from Lynn’s broadcast from the night before.

He shook his head and said, “I really don’t understand it.”

“Lynn was actually a girl. Her voice sounded great and even familiar. Perhaps she has the voice of the masses. I have always assumed Lynn to be male, or rather, a man with extraordinary gaming skills. To my surprise, her voice is clear and melodious. I reckon that girls like her are very popular with guys. But why has she deleted me! Was it because I have always been rude to her?” he pondered.

Lucas reflected conscientiously and concluded that he had been very kind to Lynn but in a platonic manner.

“Is that why Lynn is isolating me?” he thought puzzledly.

Lucas usually rewarded female streamers with a hefty amount of money. Otherwise, he would not have been known as Mr. Larson.

“Is she disappointed in me” wondered Lucas.

Lucas had not given Lynn a penny before. He could not help but blame himself for that realization.

“How can I treat her as such when she has always invited me to play games with her daily?”

In truth, he knew deep down that ten or even a hundred female streamers were no match to Lynn’s position in his heart.

He shook his head and muttered, “If I get another chance, I will not let her down.”

Madeline was having dinner when she saw Lucas muttering about like a psychopath, but she had no idea what he was doing.

There was an air of decadence and melancholy about him. He didn’t look too different from his usual spoiled rich brat demeanor, but the aggressiveness about him had toned down immensely.

However, all of that was beyond Madeline’s consideration.

She had a live stream that entire night. She needed to eat and drink to her heart’s content

content to ensure she had the energy to earn money:

It was midnight. Once again, Madeline arrived at the internet cafe’s private room and started live streaming as usual.

Alexander hard specifically sent her an unopened cold beverage and said. “Your presence tonight has brought about much better business”

Madeline noticed that there were indeed a few guys staring at her.

She grunted softly in response

Then, she heard those guys in a discussion.

“She looks arrogant and indifferent”

“She’s indeed a pretty lady. Is she good at playing games?”

the night before.”

“Of course. I heard from the internet cafe’s combat standing record that she had an outrageously amazing game

me from the

Madeline had a fan base of a few million when she was at her peak. Naturally, she would not be bothered by the attention.

The good news was that her efforts paid off.

Her live stream gained a lot of followers that night, and her fan base grew exponentially.

Madeline’s tone was much softer, and she even smiled when she said, “Thank you

to you

all.”

Various scrolling comments filled the screen rapidly.

[If you wish for Lynn to be less arrogant and indifferent, your reward must be justifiable.]

[What a lovely voice. I just love hearing that voice.)

[Her hands are pretty to look at too!]

Gifts kept coming in incessantly.

When Lucas entered Lynn’s live–streaming room, the latter’s popularity had reached more than 300,000 people.

He could not contain his anxiety when he saw the familiar account. She was obviously playing games at that time, but why did she delete him?

He was baffled. He had thought it over repeatedly, which engulfed him in a nightmarish confusion.

He started to observe quietly for a short period of time until he heard the background noise, which seemed to be from an internet café,

The girl was ordering instant noodles from the waiter.

Lucas hurriedly rewarded her with a gift of 200 dollars and said, “Go and have something delicious, Lynn. It’s not nutritious to eat just instant

noodles”

Soon after, someone noticed Lucas among the scrolling comments. He was, after all, a silver–spooned leisure streamer who appeared frequently on the platform often. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

[Impressive! You are everywhere, Mr. Larson]

[Where there is Lynn, there will be Mr. Larson. But why is Lynn live streaming alone?]

[I bet Mr. Larson wants to take advantage of someone]

[That’s right. To reward such a small gift, it’s no wonder Lynn dismissed it.]

Lucas was enraged while looking at the comments and thought. To take advantage of her? Am I that vulgar a person?”

He humbly re–sent a friend request, along with a gift worth a few hundred dollars.

Lucas leaned back on the costly gaming chair and crossed his arms, Nervousness was written all over his handsome face.

“I don’t suppose she will turn a blind eye to it in front of so many people on the channel? Besides, I have gifted her more than 1,000 dollars. She should give me some respect.

Madeline took a glance at the friend request and ruthlessly rejected it without a second thought.

She had no wish to be a pushover anymore. She was cornered to the point where she was cleaned out and had nothing left to give.

The scrolling comments came flashing all at once.

Lucas

felt beyond dejected by this. “How can this be happening! What kind of misunderstanding had happened between in?” he wondered.

He remembered that it w stream hosts.

He had rarely lost since then

Lucas looked at the computer screen. It was rare that he felt somewhat depressed as if he had lost something.

He wondered. “Why has Lynn changed her attitude toward me just like that?”

Finally, Lucas looked down and said, “I must have done something to disappoint her.”

Meanwhile, Madeline leaned against the couch after she had finished her instant noodles.

The phone beside her rang. She glanced at it and found that it was Benjamin calling her.

“Oh well, it’s not going to be anything good, she thought..

She picked up Benjamin’s call in the corridor while on her way to the bathroom stall.

“You are so shameless, Madeline. Just because I squabbled with you at that time, you will demean yourself like this and refuse to come back at night? Why is it so noisy where you are? Are you at a bar?”

Benjamin’s tone was full of contempt and prejudice.

Madeline was speechless. She could not help but feel slightly depressed from the former’s insults. It disheartened her. After all, it had been a four- year relationship

“If I hadn’t been obedient to Benjamin in my previous life, perhaps I’d have been able to see through his façade? Who would have thought Benjamin of Acocester, who appears refined and courteous to the mass public, is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing?” thought Madeline.

Madeline sneered, “Are you done with that!”

Benjamin continued with his rattling and preaching

His voice on the phone echoed through the corridor.

At that time, a tall man walked into the corridor

Evidently, he heard Benjamin’s words.

Madeline’s expression had already darkened. She saw the man, and without seeing who he was, she stepped forward to stop

Madeline did not ponder why such a man would appear in an internet café.

Through the receiver, she said, “Tm out having fun with my boyfriend. It’s none of your business,”

Madeline finished speaking, raised her phone, and motioned for the man to say something.
