Chapter 1060 Taking Back Regal Peaks (15)

• Madison Sawyer had already thought this might happen. She knew her parents would push back, so she kept quiet for a long beat before saying, “Dad, Mom, I get why you’re worried. I know the risk is massive. And the money you left me—honestly, that’s your safety net, your retirement. If I lose it all, it’s like pushing you off a cliff.”
• “But Dad, Mom, trust me. Even for you, I have to win. I have to take Regal Peaks back. Chad and my sister and I have already mapped out our next steps. All that’s left is raising the cash. So I need this money.”
• “Dad, I’ve thought about losing. I’ve thought about how it ends. I’ll leave you enough to live comfortably and retire without worry. As for me—Mom, you said it yourself—I’m young, I’ve got two hands and a brain. I can go back to work or start something new. I won’t starve.” Madison tried to soften her parents. “I’m not a kid anymore. I know what I’m doing, and I’ll own the fallout. Honestly, this whole mess started because I was stubborn and reckless. I need to carry it.”
