“No.” Madisyn shook her head.


    “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”


    “Please, Madisyn, get the police to release me,” Jeffry pleaded.


    “I can’t stand it here!”


    Madisyn said, “You’ve given me too few clues.


    I can’t let you go.


    If you find any new information, contact me anytime.”


    Madisyn stood and exited the room.


    Jeffry was taken aback.


    Once he realized he had been deceived, his frustration boiled over.


    “I’ve shared everything I know! Madisyn, release me.


    I had raised you for so long.


    Don’t be so cruel!”


    Ignoring his protests, Madisyn left the room and waited for Glenn on the sofa.


    Soon, Glenn appeared, his face etched with sadness.


    “Let’s head out,” Madisyn whispered softly.


    Glenn nodded in agreement.


    Once in the car, Madisyn turned to Glenn and said, “Dad, try not to dwell on it.


    Rowan brought this upon himself.”


    “I understand, but I can’t shake the feeling that I was at fault, too.


    He’s my only brother,” Glenn said and sighed heavily.


    “I should have guided him better as his older brother.”


    “He’s an adult with his own ways.


    You can’t change who he is.


    Dad, don’t be too hard on yourself,” Madisyn said.


    Glenn patted her head and replied, “Thank you, my dear.novelbin


    I know all this, but I guess I just need a little time to ept it.”


    Madisyn nodded understandingly.


    A thought then struck Madisyn.


    “Dad, do I only have one aunt and one uncle? Do we have any other rtives?”


    “Your mother has siblings too.


    We’ll see them on New Year’s Day.”


    After thinking for a while, Madisyn inquired, “What about the rtives on your side?”


    “I only have two siblings, but the Johns family has many extended branches.


    It’s hard to keep track of everyone.


    But why do you ask about this suddenly?” Glenn questioned.


    Madisyn exined, “I just realized I don’t know much about our extended family.”


    “Well, the distant rtives don’t really mingle with us.


    My father left all the shares to me; no one else owns any.


    A few might work at the Johns Group.”


    Even if such a rtive killed her, it likely wouldn’t help them take over thepany, Madisyn thought.


    “Are you the sole holder of all the Johns Group’s shares?”


    “Within the Johns family, it’s just me.


    However, the Johns Group wasn’t founded solely by my father; he started it with his business partner.


    That partner has retired, and now his son ys a key role in thepany.


    He holds twenty percent of the shares, ten percent are held by minor shareholders, and I control the remainder,” Glenn rified.


    This meant that Glenn had nearly unteral control over thepany’s decisions.
