At the Clark family’s residence.

Thomas returned home, exhausted. He and saw a group of workers moving in and out.

He frowned and stopped a servant, asking, “What’s going on here?”

The servant cautiously replied, “Mrs. Clark said she wants to redecorate Ms. Natasha’s room.”

Ever since Olivia suddenly “went abroad,” the atmosphere at home has been very tense.

Andrew and Thomas were incredibly busy every day, their spirits declining day by day. Noel even moved directly into an apartment near his school, rarely coming back. After Madeline had a serious illness, she had been rambling and crying constantly.

Even the servants had become much more cautious in their speech and actions.

Thomas irritably pinched his brow, waved his hand, and said, “You may leave.”

He glanced in the direction of the second floor, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and walked upstairs to find Madeline.

Madeline sat on the carpet in a utility room, surrounded by several old boxes whose contents had been pulled out and piled together.

Thomas glanced at them. They were all children’s toys.

He squatted down and picked up one of the dolls, “Mom, why are you tidying these?”

Madeline had lost a significant amount of weight. What Olivia did left her unable to accept that the daughter she had so carefully raised could become someone so cruel and malicious.

And that day at the theater, many noblewomen in her circle were present. She could only endure their sarcastic mockery for her blindness.

Madeline almost cut off all social interactions, either visiting Olivia in prison or staying at home,

Only when she re–examined her family with a new perspective did she realize she truly owed her daughter so much.

She didn’t even dare to think if Natasha’s accident that forced her to leave the stage back then was truly orchestrated by Olivia.

Madeline took the doll from Thomas’s hand, “This is Natasha’s.”
