Chapter 310
She thought, “Back then, I joined Monica in causing trouble for Madeline. Now, instead of keeping a low profile, 1 would have to actively provoke Madeline. There’s no way I’m going to do that.
Tiana didn’t want to take her daughter’s advice, but just then, Conner walked in from outside and said, “Our daughter’s right. We should just watch from the sidelines. There’s no need to take a stand.”
Tiana was puzzled. “Do you really think the Williams family is going to lose!”
who k
knows” said Conner
Tiana thought, “We’re already enemies with Madeline. When Henry was in a half–dead state, Thomas and Layla must have hated us to the core Delaying our response will only antagonize the Williams family and land us in a worse situation.
So she wasn’t planning to listen to her husband.
Monica’s funeral soon happened.
The next morning, a funeral procession, with the coffin in a hearse, made its way
y to the Williams family’s ancestral tomb
Madeline saw the news about the Williams family’s loss of a daughter that morning. Sitting on a chair, she was quite perplexed and murmured to herself, “The Williams family lost a daughter? Monica suddenly died of illness? What’s going on
She called Gavin, but he was completely clueless
Madeline stroked her chin. She had been detached from outside affairs for many days and hadn’t anticipated such a significant change–Monica, who had once attempted to poison her, had died so soon.
She thought, “It really is true what they say: “He who commits too many misdeeds will meet his end.”
She didn’t feel any sympathy. After putting the newspaper down, she quickly forgot about it.
That night, Madeline slept for a while. At midnight, she got up right on time.
As expected, it was unterly quiet downstairs; everyone was fast asleep.
She had her brother’s knockout incense with her. Once lit, it wouldn’t just knock out people–even a bull would drop dead asleep.
By now, everyone had been rendered unconscious by the incense.
Madeline sent a text and then sneaked out of the manor, leaving through a small side gate. Outside was a river, and she followed it for a while until she reached the main road.
Gavin’s car was parked by the roadside, its lights off.
Madeline got in the car, looked back at the manor hidden deep within the forest, and fastened her seatbelt. “Gavvy, why didn’t you guys come to pick me up? I had to figure out a way to escape on my own. Don’t you have a good relationship with Harriet?”
She knew what was going on, but she deliberately said. “You made me stay bored in there for so long. You owe me a late–night snack. They gave me recovery meals here. They were bland and tasteless.”
Gavin stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward like an arrow
He looked relaxed and casual, his hair tousled by the cold wind blowing through the window. His eyes were as deep and dark as the night. “Still thinking about late–night snacks? Just come home with me. There are plenty of people out there hunting you down.””
Madeline said. “Seriously? This is weird. I haven’t even done anything. Why do I attract so much hatred?”
Gavin, still gripping the steering wheel, reached for a bottle of milk and tossed it to Madeline. “Monica’s dead. I bet it was Nolan’s poison. Even a saint couldn’t save someone doomed to die young
Madeline worded thoughtfully, thinking. So, Nolan has avenged me?
The road was quiet, seemingly on the outskirts, with few people around. Shadowy trees lined both sides of the road.

drove into a bustling area, buildings began to a

Eventually, they entered a lively night market district, full of bright lights and crowds of people, giving a sense of warmth even in the winter.
Madeline pointed outside. “Didn’t you say I was in danger? Why bring me to a place like this!”

In a few days, those lights would probably be taken slow and replaced with decorations for the upcoming New Year
Madeline looked away from the window and ordered a variety of food.
Cain, holding his phone, glanced at her order. “You’ve ordered so much! Can your body handle it You ve taken the medicine Nolan gave you,
Madeline replied. “Yeah, I was recovering slowly, but after taking the medicine Nolan sent me, I got better in no time. miracle worker.”
The souls of dishes clattering filled the air.
Their food was brought up quickly.

Gavin put on disposable gloves and began peeling shrimp for Madeline. “You’ll benter ask Nolan if you can eat shrug now. an allergic reaction,” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Madeline initially wanted to say it was no problem, but recalling last time’s serious situation, she sent Nolan a message.
Nolan replied: [Best not to, but if you really want to, it’s fine.]
Madeline chuckled. Most practitioners of traditional medicine are strict about dietary restrictions, but Nolan really doted on her.
The stew was bubbling with its rich red broth, and waves of white steam were rising from it
Gavin placed a plate of peeled shrimp in front of Madeline and said, “Your stew is ready. Aren’t you going to eat it?”
Madeline had a few bites of salad, feeling refreshed. She then ate some skewers as well. “Thanks, Gavvy”
Gavin clicked his tongue. “You’re thanking me! Don’t be so formal with me. Honestly, you disappearing like that really worried me. I hardly slept for days
Through the steam rising from the stew, he gazed at Madeline, who was busy eating, sighed, and said with emotion, “Maddie, what am I supposed to do without you!”
“You were doing fine before I was around, weren’t you?” asked Madeline.
“That was different. I didn’t know what I was missing before you came along. Now that I do, I can’t go back to being alone. Gavin’s voice softened. “Maddie, don’t ever leave me again. I can’t live without you.”
Madeline burst out laughing and placed a skewer on his plate. “You should eat more, or I’ll finish everything”
They are most of the food on the table.
Then Gavin dragged Madeline to an upscale chib upstairs.
“Mr. Newton,” a middle–aged woman greeted them with a smile. “What would you like? Would you like to make a selection?
Gavin coughed. “No need, just me and my sister”
Madeline was confused. “What selection!”
Gavin put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a private room. “Nothing to select. Kids like you don’t need to know!”
Madeline pursed her lips. On her way to the bathroom, she saw rows of male and female escorts being led to other private rooms and finally
understood.
She remarked, “Well, well, Gavvy, you sure know how to have a good time here.”
