Chapter 976 Negotiation (Seven)

• "Sometimes when I look at her, I can't believe she's my daughter. She has always been obedient and sensible since she was young, never causing us any worries. But after she met you, she completely changed, as if she was possessed. She did things she had never done before, like disappearing from her own engagement party and running away from home. You know how people were talking about her at that time, how they looked at her, how they looked at our family? They thought we didn't raise her properly, said she was immature, treated marriage as a joke. How could she ever bear the responsibility of Regal Peaks in the future? Some even said she was fickle and promiscuous... I was almost going crazy talking to her Daddy at that time. My good daughter, I know what kind of person she is, but I couldn't stop all those mouths!"
• "In addition to listening to these discussions, she went so far away without any news. We were at home worrying every day, afraid that she might have an accident. During that time, I was living in the hospital, and every time I opened my eyes, I would watch the news from all over, looking for any reports of missing girls or accidents... How could she survive alone out there? Every time I saw news of earthquakes, landslides, robberies, murders, all these natural disasters and man-made tragedies, I couldn't sleep at night... I was thinking very clearly at that time, if something really happened to Xiaoxiao, then I wouldn't want to live anymore."
• Chadwick Fullner was stunned. He had never thought about all these things, nor did he realize the immense pressure Madison Sawyer's parents had been under.
