Chapter 1047 Take Back Regal Peaks (II)

• “Mom, Regal Peaks was always meant to be mine someday, and I’m the reason we lost it. So no matter what, I have to take it back. Please don’t try to talk me out of it. Since I woke up, a lot of things have gotten way clearer.” Madison Sawyer wasn’t crying anymore. She looked like someone who’d walked through hell—life and death—and come out reborn. She wasn’t the same Madison she used to be.
• Malcom Sawyer struggled to speak, mumbling, “Madison, don’t fight him… Dad already set up a safety net for you. I won’t let you suffer in this life. Just settle down and live a good life with Chadwick Fullner…”
• “Dad, we’re already at this point. You think we can just bail? If Donnie Burns were truly a good guy, he wouldn’t have done this. Now that he’s got Regal Peaks, he’ll cling to it like a bulldog. Same as anyone—if you snag a big, juicy stake, you don’t just hand it back. He’ll plan ahead. And right now, you, Mom, and me—our shares together make us the second-largest shareholder of Regal Peaks. On top of that, we hate his guts. There’s no way he won’t guard against us trying to take Regal Peaks back. So even if we do nothing, we’re still a thorn in his side. Just for self-preservation, we have to go head-to-head with Donnie Burns. If we don’t beat him outright—or burn through our last cards—he won’t let us go.” Madison’s voice was cold.
