“Really?” Madisyn asked.


    “You might want to reconsider.


    Courtney will have a criminal record.


    Who would want to have a stepdaughter Like that?”


    “How dare you!” Sarai’s face flushed with rage.


    Confronted with this family, she was at a loss for words for a moment.


    Her hatred boiled over.


    “Glenn, you’ll regret this!” she spat before storming off.


    “She’spletely lost it!” Dane muttered.


    Glenn checked to make sure ine was okay, but ine quickly moved to hug Madisyn.


    “My dear, are you alright?”


    “I’m fine, Mom,” WMadisyn said, her previously sharp demeanor softening as she looked down with obedience.


    “Sweetheart.” ine couldn’t contain her tears any longer, ovee with the joy of reuniting with her daughter.


    The news of Madisyn’s passing had left her feeling so devastated that she had contemted ending her own life.


    “We are having dinner.


    Mom, have you had dinner yet?” Madisyn asked gently.


    “Not yet.”novelbin


    “Then let’s have dinner together,” Madisyn said, guiding ine into the house.


    The family was reunited once more.


    Meanwhile, Waylon, who was abroad, learned that Madisyn was safe and urgently called Dane.


    Dane answered with irritation, “We’re having dinner.


    Please don’t disturb us.”


    “Put me on speaker!” Waylon insisted eagerly.


    “I want to join you all for dinner!”


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Dane imagined the scene and found it rather absurd.


    He ended the call with a sigh.


    Following the hearty meal, Madisyn and Andrew stayed at the vi, rxing, until bedtime.


    As they were about to leave, Madisyn noticed the sadness in Glenn’s eyes, as if something was troubling him.


    She approached him and whispered, “Dad, maybe you should have a word with Uncle.”


    Glenn had the same thought but hesitated, fearing Rowan’s pleading might lead him to let go of Courtney.


    Madisyn looked at Glenn and said, “Courtney acted this way because Rowan didn’t raise her properly.


    Jenna, the main culprit in this issue, has been punished.


    Courtney hasn’t faced punishment yet, but with her father in prison, she will definitely be scorned.


    Isn’t that a form of punishment for her? If she acts out again, I’ll report to the police that she has conspired with Jenna.


    I’m confident that this will make Courtney think twice before causing any more trouble, bringing us some peace.


    If we go straight to the police, Sarai will be on our doorstep daily, and Rowan mighte to resent us.


    It’s better to let them stew in their own mess.”


    Glenn was taken aback by how thorough Madisyn’s analysis was.


    Her insight was far beyond her peers, showing a depth of wisdom that was more typical of someone much older.


    Glenn felt a surge of pride for his daughter.


    “Madisyn, you’re truly exceptional.


    You’re going to achieve great things in the future.”


    Smiling, Madisyn replied, “Of course, I won’t turn out badly with parents like you and Mom.”


    Glenn smiled and gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.


    His anxiety eased instantly.
