Madelyn also advised, “Dad, you must take care of yourself. I’ll come home to see you whenever I have the

Upon hearing this. Derek nodded in consolation and left.

Derek. Regina, and Eunice were all seated together

During the ride, Regina couldn’t help but ask, her face dark with annoyance. “Derek, what on earth did you mean just now?”

Derek, however, played dumb. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t play dumb, Derek. You just mentioned handing the company over to Madelyn. Don’t tell me you’re thinking of having her take over the business?” Regina let out a frustrated sigh. “I don’t mean to criticize you, Derek, but you’re being too impulsive. You know what Madelyn’s like. She’s not suited to run a

company,

“What makes her unsuitable?” Derek suddenly retorted

“I know, in the past, Madelyn was negligent and underperformed, making it risky to entrust her with the company. But now, she’s finally willing to settle down and work hard. Of course, I’m going to give her the company.

Derek continued, “Moreover, back then, the old man made it clear that the family wealth must be left to the eldest child. Not only is Madelyn the eldest, but her share in the company has always been the largest, If I don’t hand the company over to her, then who should I give it to?”

Upon hearing this, Regina was extremely displeased.

She protested, “Yes, Madelyn is your daughter, but Eunice is your daughter too! Derek, how can you be biased? What will happen to Eunice when you hand the company over to Madelyn?”

After all the strenuous discussions and endless debates, it all boiled down to fighting over the family inheritance.

Derek felt inexplicably drained, his anger flaring up. Regina, ask yourself, when have I ever shown favoritism? Haven’t I given Eunice enough? Every house and car we own, all kinds of immovable have been given to Eunice! If we were to seriously look into it, Eunice has even received more than Madelyn. What more could you possibly be unsatisfied with?”

“L…” Regina was momentarily at a loss for words.

assets.

Derek wasn’t wrong in what he said. However, her original plan was to take everything for herself! She didn’t intend to leave even a tiny bit for Madelyn.

Hence, she was against Derek giving away the company to Madelyn.

Derek turned to Regina and saw her reluctance. It was clear just how much her greed was showing!

His expression darkened involuntarily, “Regina, I’m warning you, you’d better not harbor any ill intentions toward Madelyn, As her father, I will fulfill all the promises I’ve made to her. If you dare to harm Madelyn. I won’t let you off.

Upon hearing those words, Regina was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth.

Upon arriving home, Derek changed and headed off to work.

Seeing that they were the only ones left. Eunice couldn’t help but complain to her mother. “Mom, dad really does play favorites. He gives everything to Madelyn without even considering our feelings.”

Regina also felt uneasy at her words.

With a cold look in her eyes, she said. “Don’t worry, I promise you, I will secure everything from the Thornton family for you. As for Madelyn. I’ll make sure she ends up with nothing!”

That afternoon, after double–checking and confirming that there were no major health issues, Madelyn was discharged.

Not long after she reached home, Jillian called.

She asked with concern through the phone. “Madelyn are you feeling any better?”

Madelyn gave a calm smile. “I’m much better now, a little rest at home and I’ll be fine.”

Jillian nodded, then, with a sudden stutter, she said, “Um, Madelyn, I’m really worried about you. Can I come over to your place to check on you!”

Madelyn responded gracefully. “Of course, you can.

“But, won’t I be bothering you?” Jillian softly asked.

Madelyn said nonchalantly, “Not at all, I happen to be home alone. Your visit would be perfect company!

for me.”

Jillian nodded. “All right, I’ll come right way.”

Madelyn hummed in response, then hung up the phone.

In less than half an hour, the doorbell rang

Lydia walked over to open the door. Seeing Jillian, she asked politely. “May I know who you are?”

“Lydia, she’s my classmate, let her in.” Just then, Madelyn descended from upstairs.

Upon hearing that Jillian was a classmate. Lydia promptly opened the door and welcomed Jillian’inside.

As soon as Jillian stepped in, she was utterly stunned.

From the outside, the house bore the resemblance of castle.

She never expected the interior to be as luxurious as a palace as well

All sorts of furniture, including tables and sofas, were designed in the style of Uprian driftwood carvings.

Beyond that, the wallpapers in the room, the ceiling, the tables, and even the stairs were all designed with a unique touch of ingenuity,

The overall color scheme was a subtle blend of cream and gray.

Though the tones were distinctly cool, they somehow evoked a sense of warmth.

Jillian was simply dumbfounded as she took it all in.

She had always known that Madelyn was the renowned heiress of the illustrious Thornton family and was undoubtedly well off.

But she never expected her to be this well off.

For a moment, Jillian was so apprehensive that she didn’t know whether she should sit or stand.

Upon seeing her tense demeanor, Madelyn couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why are you so nervous? Have a

seat

Jillian gave a slight nod, only then did she dare to gingerly sit down on the sofa. She asked with concern, “Madelyn, are you all right?”

Madelyn rose to her feet, twirling around twice before laughing. “See? I’m perfectly fine. It’s all in the past

now.”

Jillian felt reassured at that.

Following that, she placed the thermos she was holding onto the coffee table and opened it, all the while saying, “I’m glad you’re okay. My mom was worried about you and specifically made some chicken broth for you to help boost your immunity. You should have some.”

Madelyn’s face immediately lit up with joy. “Wow, chicken broth? It’s been a while since I’ve had it!”

As she spoke, she hastily lifted the thermos, taking a large gulp.

Unable to hold back her praise, she said, “Mrs. Lynch’s cooking skills are truly amazing. This soup is incredibly delicious.”

Jillian couldn’t help herself as her eyes welled up with tears as she watched Madelyn.

I

“Madelyn, I’m sorry. You’ve helped me so much, yet all can offer you is soup…”

Madelyn waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the big deal?
