Chapter 971 Negotiation (2)

• Upon seeing Madison Sawyer's parents, Chadwick Fullner was taken aback. He had encountered them before, particularly her father, on several occasions. In his memory, they were always well-groomed. Although he couldn't pinpoint their exact age, he assumed they were around his father's age, yet their appearance was strikingly different. They appeared to be in their prime, exuding a youthful aura. However, on this occasion, they seemed to have aged significantly, especially Madison Sawyer's father, who sported a noticeable amount of white hair and appeared visibly fatigued. Madison Sawyer's mother also displayed signs of distress, with swollen eyes indicating their worry and pain, particularly concerning Madison Sawyer.
• A wave of bitterness and guilt washed over Chadwick Fullner. He acknowledged his role in this situation. Had he not crossed paths with Madison Sawyer, she might have remained the gentle and dutiful lady, never severing ties with her parents for love, resulting in such suffering for all involved.
• Observing Madison Sawyer's parents, it was evident that Madison Sawyer's circumstances were likely dire. Contemplating the severity of the situation pained Chadwick Fullner once more.
