Chapter 1327


    Despite how hard Sophia tried persuading Maddie, Maddie refused to budge. I wonder what’s making


    Maddie so resolute? Sophia decided that she still had many chances in the future and ended things for


    today, nning to try again in another two days.


    Afterward, Maddie decided to see Linus and Sophia on their way. Walking into the lounge with Sophia


    to look for Linus, she saw her second uncle that had just arrived at Bayside City to work. He was


    surrounding Linus with Tawny and her brother behind him. I can’t believe Tawny called him over!


    Byron had a grimace on his face as he leaned close to Linus while saying, “Look; this is my niece. She


    is 19 years old. Isn’t she quite the pretty one? Her family conditions are great too. Why don’t you


    exchange contact numbers or add each other on Messenger? You should chat with each other a


    little…”


    Tawny pulled up her Messenger on her phone. Then, she blushingly stepped forward to add Linus on


    Messenger.


    Linus looked troubled. “Uncle Byron, I’m sorry but I don’t really use Messenger.”


    Any discerning person would know with a single nce that Linus was rejecting them. However, Byron


    did not know what it meant to be reserved and even went so far as to enthusiastically reach out to take


    Linus’ phone. “Don’t worry; I’ll teach you. Come—”


    Maddie stared at the scene in front of her with her mouth agape… Feeling confused, Sophia stepped


    forward and asked, “What are you doing?”


    Linus immediately stood up as soon as he saw that she was here and eagerly said, “Sofie, you’re here!


    Let’s go back now.”


    On the other hand, Byron’s face brightened up when he saw Sophia. He excitedly said, “Hello! You


    must be Mr. Linus’ younger sister! I’m Byron Evans, Maddie’s second uncle on her mother’s side!”


    Oh, it’s Maddie’s uncle! Thus, she greeted him. “Nice to meet you, Uncle Byron…”


    Listening to the way he talked, she realized that he mistakenly thought that ‘Linus’ was their surname.


    Thus, she was just about to correct his misconception when he dragged the young man standing next


    to him into the conversation. “Come;e here. Miss Linus, this is my nephew. He’s 21 this year.


    Besides, he hasn’t gotten a partner yet. Why don’t you guys get to know each other?”


    She couldn’t help feeling weird. Looking at the young man, he didn’t look like much. Rather, he had a


    shifty look. I’m sure he’s no good. Still, it was Maddie’s rtive. She did not want to put Maddie in a


    difficult position, so she politely replied, “Hi, nice to meet you.”


    The young man had never seen such a young and beautiful woman before. Thus, he was so charmed


    that he couldn’t move anymore. Swallowing nervously, he said, “Hello, my name is—”


    All of a sudden, Maddie spoke up with a smile. “Oh, my; look at the time. We talked so much that we


    lost track of time. Sophia, Linus, your car is waiting downstairs. Why don’t you leave first? Otherwise,


    the elevator will be jam-packed with people soon.”


    “Let’s go,” Linus swiftly said. He was certain that Byron was up to something. Since just now, this man


    has been trying his best to inquire about my financial situation while introducing me to that girl. Her


    entire face is caked with a thickyer of makeup—it reminds me of a monkey’s butt. Thus, he hurriedly


    dragged Sophia away. Simrly, Maddie looked extremely upset as she hastily led Linus and Sophia


    away.


    Upon seeing that, Byron became anxious and quickly rushed after them. “Mr. Linus! Why don’t you


    leave your contact number with us?!”


    In response, Linus sullenly dragged Sophia away with him. Maddie, who was leading the way, shot a


    re at her assistant when she saw her family members chasing after them. Following that, her


    assistant immediately stepped forward and stopped the Evans Family from approaching the siblings.


    “This is the VIP elevator; you are not allowed to enter.” They’ve been irritating me for a while now. How


    dare they harass a VIP?!


    As a result, Byron, Tawny, and her brother could only watch as Maddie led Linus and Sophia into the


    elevator. They were so anxious that they nearly hopped about in anxiety. Argh! We nearly became the


    rtives of somebody in Bayside City!


    Inside the elevator, Maddie stood in a corner. She felt cold all over; there was an indescribable emotion


    in her heart—a mix of both disgust and fury at the same time. This is what I’ve been worried about! I


    was scared that one day, my rtives would approach the Fletcher Family. They will surely try to


    weasel their way into an influential family without any inhibitions just to raise their status… Just look at


    the two siblings from the Bishop Family! Don’t they ever look in the mirror?! She felt the utter


    humiliation brought to her by her natal family. It made her all the more aware that she, Sophia, and the


    Fletcher Family were inpletely different social sses. That realization left her feeling inferior and


    furious.


    Meanwhile, Sophia seemed to realize something btedly. That old man was probably trying to


    matchmake me with that guy. Tsk; just looking at his shifty-eyed expression tells me that he’s not a


    good person. If it were any other person, I would have pped them without hesitation… This is


    probably why Maddie refuses to let Christine and Stanley get together, as well as why I’ve never heard


    her mention her natal family before.


    They soon arrived on the first floor. Maddie could tell that Linus was in a bad mood and realized that


    Byron must have greatly offended him. Hence, she did not dare to say a word. She simply forced a


    smile on her face while seeing them off. To her surprise, she saw Christine rushing over as soon as she


    opened the door. “Maddie, I heard from my mother that Tawny fainted suddenly. She asked me toe


    and check on her.” When Christine noticed Sophia and Linus, she immediately respectfully said,


    “Sophia, Mr. Michel! Why are you here too?”

    However, Linus was in a terrible mood. He simply nodded before getting into the car with Sophia.


    Before Sophia got into the car, she turned to Maddie and said, “I’m sorry. Linus is not in a good mood


    today. Please don’t take it to heart.”


    Maddie smiled bitterly in response. After Linus and Sophia left, she felt tears swimming in her eyes.


    “Maddie, what’s wrong?! Please don’t scare me!” Christine lightly tugged at Maddie’s arm.


    Wiping away tears, Maddie said, “It’s nothing.”


    Then, they both went upstairs and returned to the lounge just now. Sure enough; the atmosphere inside


    waspletely different now. Byron was solemnly sitting on a chair with a majestic and imposing


    expression—he was like a guardian. Simrly, the Bishop siblings were standing next to Byron. They


    were practically spitting fire from their eyes. As soon as Byron saw Maddie approaching, he pointed to


    the ground in front of him. “Kneel, now!”


    However, Maddie did not move. Aftering to Bayside City for so many years, these words no longer


    worked on her. In the remote country town that was their hometown, those words were an absolute


    command when spoken by a male elder to a female younger than them. Therefore, Byron was livid


    when he saw that Maddie refused to kneel. He felt that his authority was greatly challenged. Taking out


    his phone, he furiously threatened, “Just you wait! I’m going to call your father right now! And, your


    grandfather too! They will know about this!”


    Upon hearing those words, the Bishop siblings became happy. Their reactions made it seem like


    informing Maddie’s parents about her digressions was akin to a death sentence. How dare she ruin our


    marriage prospects?! If it wasn’t for hering to cause trouble, we might have gotten the contact


    information of the Linus siblings! We could have quickly gotten close to them!


    When Christine heard those words, she became anxious. This is such a trivial matter; how can they


    immediately raise the issue with the family?! “Uncle Byron, what on earth happened—”


    Seeing that Maddie refused to kneel and admit her mistake, Byron took out his phone and pretended to


    dial a number. “I’m really going to make the call! Don’t think I won’t dare to do it!”


    Maddie scoffed. However, her reddened eyes were filled with tears.


    Then, he dialed the number while berating her in a loud voice. “You rebellious girl! Your parents have


    wasted their efforts raising you! Just you wait!”


    He was already displeased with her long before she ruined the Bishop siblings’ ‘marriages’. Seeing that


    his rtives and friends were heading to Bayside City to work, he hurriedly called Maddie and told her


    to arrange a job for him. Contrary to his expectations, she made him attend the interview himself,


    saying that it depended on his own abilities as to whether he could get the job. Moreover, she made


    him look for his own ce to stay too. I don’t know anybody in Bayside City. Where am I supposed to


    find a ce to stay?! She is obviously trying to make things difficult for me! She doesn’t respect me at


    all!


    In the end, he called the Bishop Family instead. Without another word, they immediately asked


    Christine to book his flight tickets to Bayside City. It was his first time flying in a ne. When he got off


    the ne, Christine even sent her assistant to pick him up and send him to a hotel. All he needed to do


    was stay there. Several dayster, Christine told him that she found him a job at a cybercafé. Not only


    was the job easy, but it also paid well. Maddie is nothingpared to Christine!
