Chapter 1078 Light at the End of the Tunnel (III)

• Madison Sawyer finished in one breath, looked at Donnie Burns, and smiled. “I’ve said a lot. I’m sure you’ve already made up your mind, Mr. Burns. Honestly, I know I can’t fool you. Going up against Zhen Mingjie for Regal Peaks—I don’t have hard proof to show I’m guaranteed to win. My confidence and the grind behind it might sound like hot air to you, maybe even ridiculous. But I still need to say this: I’m not going to lose. Everything I said I’d do, I’ll do. I will take Regal Peaks back. I know after hearing all this, you probably see the situation clearly and will walk away from the deal. I still want to fight for it, but I can’t use tricks or lies to get your investment. Money doesn’t fall from the sky. So, Mr. Burns, whatever you decide, first off, thank you for your kindness. I’m glad we met. I hope that when I get Regal Peaks back, we can partner in other ways. Maybe we can be friends.”
• Kate Penrose panicked right away, her face turning ugly. From Madison’s first few lines, she knew something was off. She even kicked Madison under the table in secret. But Madison acted like she felt nothing and kept smiling as she finished.
• Not just Kate—Chadwick Fullner was groaning inside. Welp, this is toast. Madison just laid out the unvarnished truth, basically telling Donnie Burns that investing now is tossing cash into a bonfire. Why would he still pony up?
