Chapter 1052 Taking Back Regal Peaks (VII)

• “As for that condition, there’s nothing to think about.” Madison Sawyer gave a small smile and slid the equity transfer back. “You and I came from the same place, grew up in the same world. I’m simple, not stupid. I stayed out of the business fights and didn’t like running companies, but that doesn’t make me useless.”
• “As for your so‑called marriage and this equity transfer, I’m not interested,” Madison said calmly. “Families like ours—marriage has a price tag. If I don’t sign, the most you get is 33% of Regal Peaks. But if I do sign, you don’t just get me—you get all the shares my whole family holds. I become your accessory. Saying Regal Peaks is ‘mine’ won’t be wrong, but I, as a person, would be yours. The shares, everything tied to Regal Peaks—it’s just extra paperwork for you. And you’ve got a dozen ways to shuffle things around. Even if I get a divorce, I’d walk away with nothing.”
• “So that equity is just bait. Once I bite, you can do whatever you want. And honestly? Your main goal is probably payback—because I ignored you for Chad and made you lose face; because the Sawyer family fell off a cliff; because my parents are getting weaker and I’ve got no siblings to help. If I marry in, I’m yours to jerk around. Sometimes I wonder if you ever planned to marry me for real, or if you’re just using your little winning streak to humiliate me.”
