Chapter 1061 Taking Back Regal Peaks (Part 16)

• Malcom Sawyer had quietly set aside eight hundred million long ago, handing it to a foundation to manage—just in case. No matter where Regal Peaks went from here, with that eight hundred million, even living off interest, Madison Sawyer could be safe and steady for life. It was a father’s painstaking plan, a safety net laid just for her. When he arranged it, he figured they’d probably never touch it. He didn’t expect it to be used so soon—and not to protect her day‑to‑day life. The armor he left Madison to shield her became the blade she now raised against their enemy.
• Truth is, Malcom’s heart had to be bone‑deep bleak right now. As a man, a father, a former business titan, ending up here—there was no counterpunch left in him. With fate and reality bearing down, he had no moves. Chadwick Fullner saw him turn away and quietly brush the tears glinting at the corner of his eye.
• Madison and Chad walked out of Nova Hospital and headed to the foundation to start the paperwork, plus a whole list of things to handle. Madison’s face stayed tight, clearly holding it in. Chad got it. He slid an arm around her, gave her shoulder a steady pat—his way of saying, I’ve got you. Madison curled into him like a small cat, stayed there a long while, then whispered, “Chad, I feel this heavy weight in my chest. It hurts.”
