"I can''t go out now!" Nick was sour. The Johnston family had always been a patriarchal family. If


    Madison did not have some means, she would not have any say in the family.


    Madison was stunned, and her face was pale. She had just browsed the inte and saw that public


    opinion had changed drastically.


    It was only half an hour after Percy''s live broadcast.


    The public had been scolding Nina and Percy but had since shifted to gossip about her. Madison was


    scared of seeing this change.


    Her absurd days in the past involved a range of men, some of which were not of quality. If they saw the


    news, they might use the one night they spent together as bragging rights on the inte.


    "What happened?" Madison wondered, wanting to go out to see.


    Nick held her and said with a sullen expression, "Thanks to your n, the ce is flooded with


    reporters. They''re not the ones you arranged either! I''m not the only one who can''t get out, no one else


    can! Why should I contact the chairperson? Even if we get in touch with him, will he be willing to stand


    on your side?"


    "If he doesn''t want to, we''ll sue him since this information was leaked from this hospital." Madison was


    at a loss but still thought of a way to go about it.


    She could not have this ruin the rest of her life.


    The Johnston family was a realistic family. If one added no value to the family, their lives would be


    worse than a maid''s.


    She did not want to live a life as such. Even if the Johnston family went down, she could still rely on her


    beauty and image to find a wealthy family to live a good life!


    Madison was reluctant to face such a reality seeing that her n was about to be destroyed.


    "Sue him? We don''t know where Percy got these medical records from. If the hospital finds out that it


    has nothing to do with them, have you thought about the consequences of doing what you just


    proposed? Also, even if you win the court case, how much can you get out of it? Can it help the


    Johnston family get through this crisis? Won''t you be admitting that the medical records are real?" Nick


    regretted going with her n and provoking Percy.


    After this lesson, he would never dare to piss that man off again.


    He would not have agreed if Madison had not sworn that the n would be a sure win.


    He did not expect that Percy would find Madison''s past medical records.

    Madison regretted everything she did and grabbed onto his sleeve like it was a lifebuoy. "What should I


    do now?"


    Nick was already annoyed at her. Seeing how foolish Madison had been, he made a decision


    impatiently. "You''re the one who provoked Percy. Don''t drag the Johnston family down with you."


    Madison''s eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean?"


    "If the chairperson refuses to step out and rify the matter, the Johnston family will inform the media


    that we have cut off ties with you. From now on, even if you carry the Johnston surname, you''re not a


    part of the Johnston family!" Nick said cruelly. Their rtionship was nothing to him. He knew that the


    right option was to save the Johnston family and hope that Percy did not take revenge on their family.


    He could not let the whole family suffer even more and make things worse.


    Madison shook her head. Her body was unstable and she fell to the floor. "No, I still have value. I can


    still create opportunities for our family."


    Nick looked at her angrily. If it were not for the reporters outside, he would have left long ago. "Value?


    Go around and ask people what they think of you. Will the rich and wealthy pay for a broken shoe?


    They''re not stupid. They''re rich, so they can get all kinds of women. They don''t need a broken shoe like


    you. Scram!"


    Madison broke down when she heard his indifferent tone.


    ''How can I live without the Johnston family?''


    She had gotten used to being rich. All of a sudden, she had nothing now. Madison lost all hope. She


    looked at the white wall and staggered to get on her feet.


    Nick did not think too much of it.


    Madison hit her head on the wall the next second.


    Nick was frightened by the loud thump. He did not expect Madison to cause more drama. He


    immediately cursed at her, "Are you crazy?!"


    Madison''s forehead was smashed against the wall, and there was blood dripping from the wound. In


    just a few seconds, her cheeks were stained with blood.


    Madison did not seem to hear what he said. Her body fell straight down. As she fell, she muttered, "I


    don''t want to live anymore. I don''t want to live anymore..."


    The nurse happened to walk in and see this scene. She yelled out in shock. However, she had been


    working in this department for years now, so she was used to it. She reacted quickly, pressed the call


    bell, and notified her colleagues toe to the ward. She then walked over to check on Madison.


    "What happened?" The nurse turned around and asked Nick. She understood what had happened


    when she saw the blood on the wall. "Did the patient hit her head against the wall?"


    "She hit her head against the wall herself. No one forced her." Nick did not show any pity and distanced


    himself from Madison.


    The nurse did not have time to talk nonsense with him. She and her colleagues who came in


    administered first aid to Madison.


    ...


    On the other hand.


    When Luca was at work, she learned about Percy''s press conference from Tina. Out of curiosity, she


    got distracted, plugged in her headphones, and listened to the live broadcast on her phone.


    When Percy announced his rtionship with Nina in front of reporters, a small smile appeared on the


    corners of Luca''s mouth.


    Percy not only expressed his love for Nina to the Mallory family but also exined the situation to


    reporters and the public.


    Luca sighed as she knew that no matter how many difficulties there would be, Nina would be by


    Percy''s side firmly.


    She was happy that they had gotten their happily ever after.


    Luca took off her earphones and heard a low voice saying, "What are you smiling at?"


    She looked up in astonishment. While she was still listening to the live broadcast, Luke had walked in


    but she did not notice because she was wearing earphones. The volume was turned up.


    "Sorry, Mr. Crawford. I was listening to a live broadcast while working." Luca bowed her head and


    admitted to what she was doing.


    "What live broadcast made you so happy?" It had been a while since Luke walked in but she did not


    notice him because she was wearing earphones and his movements were light.


    He just stood there, watching the corners of her mouth curve into a sweet smile. His heart could not


    help but beat like a drum.


    When Luca saw him, she did not want to lie and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so she


    answered honestly, "I was smiling because I was listening to Mr. Mallory''s live press conference. I


    heard him confess his love for Nina to the reporters."


    "You''re happy about that?" Luke asked rhetorically.


    Luca nodded. ''How can one not be happy when there''s a man who''ll do anything to make one happy


    and announce one''s existence to the entire world?''
