The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 834

“What?” Madeline couldn’t believe what she just heard.

Callum had been planning to completely destroy the Tall family for a long time, but he was suddenly willing to offer them a way out.

“I can lend the Tall family a sum of money, at least enough to secure the Sunshine City project during this crisis,” Callum said.

Madeline’s mind raced as she thought, “Does Callum mean that apart from Sunshine City, the Tall family would lose everything else in this crisis? In that case, the Tall family would not be a prestigious family anymore, and all of our assets would be confiscated.”

However, if they could hold onto Sunshine City, there might still be a chance for the Tall family to turn things around.

“Why would you help the Tall family? What’s your real motive?” Madeline inquired directly. She was aware that Callum’s offer of such a condition was part of a larger plan.

“My purpose is to call off our engagement,” Callum explained.

When Madeline heard that, she let out a mocking laugh. “Call off the engagement? You are still worried that you will not be able to cancel the engagement now that the Tall family is in this state?”

“I want you to publicly state to the media that we have mutually agreed to annul the engagement, and you must also clear Lillian’s name, given that you caused her to bear such disgrace previously,” Callum said coldly. “You-” Madeline suddenly came to a realization. Her eyes gradually widened as an idea flashed through her mind. “Could it be that you are using Sunshine City to bargain with me for Lillian’s sake?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how could I offer the Tall family a solution like this? Callum stated.

Madeline was filled with shock. She could not believe Callum would give up a few billion dollars in profit for Lillian.

He had devised such a grand scheme that, theoretically, could have completely destroyed the Tall family, but for the sake of a woman, he was willing to sacrifice those profits and even leave the Tall family a way out, which could cause him further trouble in the

future.

Madeline began to feel that she was losing the ability to comprehend the man in front of her.
