Chapter 27
Henry stopped Layla
“Mom, stop hitting her. Madeline doesn’t seem well.”
Layla finally looked at her after that Madeline’s breathing had become shallow, and her eyes were tightly shut. She was covered in sweat
She seemed to be enduring great pain.
Layla Felta linde guilty. “I just gently hit her a few times. Does she have to act like this?”
“I think she’s just acting. She caused Winnie to have such a nasty fall. How does she have the audacity?”
Some neighbors were secretly watching at the door.
“The family of the person who fell downstairs has probably come to settle a score with her.
“Definitely. If someone pushed my family member and caused their head to bleed so heavily, I’d fight them to the death”
Is something bad going to happen!”
“Who cares? She deserves it anjanay!
Thud, thud, thud. Quick footsteps could be heard.
Brandon walked at the lead, followed by several bodyguards.
“Stop! What are you doing?” Brandon rushed into the house and saw the person who was unconscious on the ground. His expression immediately changed.
He didn’t dare to move and stepped aside.
This made Layla and the others look at the mains.
A till young man approached. He had a cold aura and exuded brooding anger.
As soon as he appeared, the air seemed to turn a little colder.
“Mr. Wagner, Ms. Larson.” Brandon looked hesitant.
Steven F
frowned and glanced at Layla. “Did you hit her?”
Layla bit her lips and felt very guilty. “S–So what if 1 hit ber? I… I was teaching my daughter a lesson. What does it have to do with an outsider like you?”
“Who are yo
are you? Could you possibly be that lover of hers?”
“I’m telling you. She has a marriage agreement with the Moore family. Don’t act all arrogant in from
Brandon shouted angrily, “Shut up!”
front of me…
“Do y
you know w
who you’re talking to?”
Jacob had a startup and was the CEO of the company.
He was more knowledgeable about the industry.
At this point, he was in disbelief and astonished to see Steven. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Who was Steven!
Steven, the Head of the Japrium Great Four, was backed by the Wagner family, who had been wealthy for generations.
He had countless listed companies.
The Largest group
among them was the Imperial Group.
Jacob knew Steven was the CEO of Vanguard Corporation, the largest group in Acocester.
He thought, “This type of person makes headlines wherever he goes. How could he possibly appear in this old residential building at midnight for Madeline!
13:24 PM
“Mom, stop talking.”
Jacob inoked a little pale. He thought that if Madeline really had a connection to Steven, she was extremely fortunate
Despre Benjamin’s merits, he was insignificant in comparison to Steven.
Steven was ruthless. There had never been anyone of the opposite sex around him
Layla was still sullen. “Why should I stop talking? She’s my daughter, whom I carried for nine months. I can do whatever I want with her!”
Steven’s gaze was chilling.
Layla couldn’t help but take a step back. She started to feel genuinely scared.
“You don’t deserve to be a mother.”
Steven’s tone was tinged with anger.
Layla looked weak and pitiful in front of him. She felt that if she said anything more, something would happen.
Steven turned around and picked up Madeline, who was on the ground
He saw the suitcase in the rented house.
“Brandon, take it to Republic Carden”
Layla was dumbfounded when she heard these words.
She thought, Republic Garden!
That’s the most expensive residential area in Acocester. A house in that area costs at least 10 million dollars!
Our mansion is in a remote area, and it was only more than one million dollars.
Layla was very familiar with Republic Garden because she had visited it before and had wanted to buy a condominium unit there.
However, the Larson family only earned 2 million dollars a year. It was difficult for her to buy
“W–Who exactly are you!
Layla looked at Steven
But he completely ignored her.
The car downstairs drove away.
Tayla looked at Jacob and said, “Jacob, you told me to stop talking just now. Do you know who this man is?”
“What kind of background does he have to be able to live in Republic Carden? He probably didn’t rent a place there, right?”
“Vanguard Corporation is his.” Jacob frowned and looked solemn. He couldn’t understand
He thought, ‘People like Steven would typically have a lot of people catering to his interests, even if he didn’t show any desire.
If he was not so terrifyingly cold–blooded and ruthless, he could probably switch partners every day.
How could he possibly be interested in Madeline?
He said. “Maybe it’s just a fling. A man of his stature couldn’t possibly be interested in Madeline”
Upon hearing that, Layla gave it some thought
She was not an idiot. She was well aware of the might of the Vanguard Corporation
Even if it was a fling, he was the CEO of a listed company.
Compared to Benjamin, a scion who had not inherited the family business yet, he was far superior.
“Madeline is so heartless. She has colluded with such a person but doesn’t support her family. Humph”
She went on, “That’s Vanguard Corporation! If they collaborate with the Larson family, we’ll be able to rise to the top
Layla seemed to have forgotten how she beat up Madeline just now. “I raised this brat in vain if you ask me. Our family used to be notable. If it

weren’t for your uncles…”
When Layla said that, she felt sad again.
jucas replied, “Mom. Let’s hurry to the hospital to see Winde. Harley said Winnie had four or five stitches on her head”
She used to be terrified of pain. I wonder how painful it will be for her when she wakes up.”
Let’s just hurry over and stay by her side
Yeah, you’re right.” Layla agreed after hearing that, “Winnie is still in the hospital. I have plenty of time to deal with Madeline! A bitch like her. ould not possibly go anywhere far. Once Winnie has recovered, I’ll let her attend Acocester University.
Leanwhile, in the car. Madeline’s face looked terrible.
the clutched her stomach and unconsciously laid her head on Steven
With brows furrowed and eyes closed, she murmured faintly. “It hurts…”
Brandon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this scene.
Mr. Wagner, are we taking her to the hospital!”
No need. Get the doctor to come by, Steven sat straight and let Madeline lean on him.
He knew his care for Madeline had crossed the line between a boss and an employee.
Perhaps it was because he pitied her.
The neon lights of the city passed by outside the window,
He couldn’t ignore the little girl’s pained murmur next to his ear leaving him somewhat dazed.
“Does it hurt a lot!”
Madeline couldn’t answer him.
After arriving at Block A of Republic Garden, they took an elevator straight to the top floor.
The doctors were already waiting.
The Гор floor of Republic Garden, or more specifically Block A of Republic Garden, overlooked a river. As soon as one entered, a large floor–to- ceiling window could be seen.
A panoramic view of the entire landscape was available.
Madeline was carried by Steven and placed on the bed. The doctors also hurriedly examined her.
“Mr. Wagner, she’s probably having a gastric attack. The examination revealed that the gastric attack had lasted over one or two days. It’s quite
serious.”
“If left untreated, I’m afraid it will develop into gastric cancer in a few years. By then…”
Steven frowned and said. “Then cure her
