Chapter 286
Monica had been staying home for days now.
She used to cause trouble, but her family would always cover for her, but this time was different.
Borris death was mainly Monica’s fault. Even though she was pampered at home, she had to keep a low profile now.
Her uncle’s family was now so gloomy that they seemed ready to explode. Whenever Monica ran into them, she felt uneasy and frightened, fearing they might take it out on her.
The sorrow of losing Borris had cast a shadow over the Williams family.
Monica knew that things had gotten to this point because of her.
“Monica, meal’s ready, Sue Williams, Monica’s mother, called from the doorway.
Monica was startled. Her phone will showed messages from Vanessa, and she quickly switched it off, but it rang again.
Monica said anxiously “Mom, just give me a moment. You all start without me. I’ll be right down.“
Monica waited until the footsteps faded away and answered the call, her tone unfriendly, Vanessa, why are you still contacting me! Your family has already caused us enough harm, and you have the nerve to call me again?”
Vanessa said, “Monica, I’m just letting you know we had a family meeting today and all agreed not to get involved in Madeline’s family’s issues. You’re free to take revenge. Don’t worry.”
Monica said, “Hmph, she killed my cousin, and she deserves to pay for it A Monica thought about it, she got furious again
Then Monica hung up the phone and went downstairs for dinner
The atmosphere at the dining table was tense
Sue, embodying the gentle grace of a southern lady, had smooth skin, delicate eyebrows, and clear eyes that enhanced her elegant demeanor. She placed a bowl of soup in front of Monica

expression, asked Monica, “Have you offered flowers for Borris in the past few days!”
Daniel continued, “To be honest, if it weren’t for the trouble you caused, Borris wouldn’t have had such a tragic fate at his young age. From now on you need to take his place and take care of your uncle and aunt. They’ve already lost their son, so you need to be considerate”
Monica felt guilty as she thought to herself that her uncle and aunt probably hated her too much to bear seeing her.

Monica agreed our load, but inside she was filled with guilt and self–blame. The heavy mental burden was too much for her, making her feel very frustrated
Monica asked Daniel, “Dad, when are we going to take revenge for I
Borris
“Revenge?” Daniel sighed and replied, “I don’t think things will be that simple. But your uncles are already impatient and might be planning to act Brainst the Lions.”
At the Larson residence, the Larson family gathered around a large dining table filled with delicious dishes, but Thomas’s family was notably abient
Ruth squinted her eyes, looking a bit tired, as if she hadn’t quite woken up from a nap. really have a way of causing trouble, making the Williams family so furious. You should take this as a warning. Don’t think that just because you’re under the family’s name, you can go out causing trouble and expect the family to protect you. Well, they are a perfect example of what not to do Remember that.

Conner also received a call from Thomas. However, instead of worrying about Thomas situation, Conner was more concerned about whether this incident would affect his family and the business.

my opinion, with a successful daughter like Madeline in their family, why would they ever need our help?”
Vanessa observed Tiana’s happy expression and felt a thrill as well. She said, “I heard from Monica that her cousin was spoiled by his family, and now Madeline has killed him. I don’t think Uncle Thomas and his family will end well.”
This family talked about Thomas’s misfortune with mocking indifference, almost eager to see the miserable end of Thomas and his family.
They talked about it as if discussing something trivial and unrelated to them. It sounded like Thomas and his family had no connections with them, Lincoln’s wife, Bella, couldn’t help but say. “But I heard the Williams family almost beat Henry to death first, which started all the trouble!” Vanessa scoffed. “What do you know? Just because the Williams family hurt Henry, it doesn’t mean Henry’s family has the right to seek revenge. It’s as if they’re dragging us down with their self–destructive behavior”
Bella was rendered speechless, but she knew better than to say anything else. After all, she didn’t have much say at home anyway.
Ruth coughed and said. “Alright, stop arguing, I know what’s going on. After all, someone has been killed in the incident, and the Williams family won’t show us any respect. I’m just too old to help Thomas 1 just hope they can rely on Madeline’s connections to get through this ordeal.
Ruch also wanted to see just how much influence Madeline’s connections truly had and whether they could protect her from the retaliation of the Williams family.
up to the Williams family directly?
Could someone like Caleb stand up
Ruth chose to watch from the sidelines, wanting to assess Madeline’s value and see if her ability aligned with her usual arrogant attitude.
Ruth hoped Madeline wasn’t all talk with no substance.
As winter set in, each day became colder and the daylight hours got shorter and shorter.
A month had passed since Borris’s death, yet the Williams family still couldn’t come to terms with it, especially his parents, who were deeply grieving
Madeline continued her routine of going between campus and home, living a straightforward life.
Eugene came over on Friday night to invite Madeline to a party. She wasn’t very interested, but Eugene kept convincing her until she finally gave

Madeline looked at the skirt on her bed and clicked her tongue. She said, Tr’s so cold outside. There’s ice hanging from the trees, and you want me to wear this little thing? Ill end up with arthritis when I’m old!”
Eugene waited by his fancy car for Madeline to come down.
When Madeline finally appeared, Eugene noticed she was wearing a cozy cream–colored coat with a soft scarf wrapped around her neck, the tassels looking quite adorable
Madeline’s hair was down, covering her ears and making them warm.
“Is it really that cold?” Eugene asked.
Madeline said a
opened the car door, “Of course it is. You’re pretty brave to want to go have fun in this weather
“Who said I’m going for fun? It’s work; Eugene said as he got into the driver’s seat, looking at Madeline with care. “Has anyone from the Williams family been bothering you lately? If you ever feel unsafe, remember to call me right away.” As Eugene said so, he handed Madeline a pair of beautiful diamond earrings and continued, “Each of them has a tracker. It’s so small that it won’t be noticeable. Even if you lose one, the other can still track you
“A tracker? I don’t want it, Madeline refused without a second thought.
She valued her freedom now, and wearing them

Madeline didn’t want to have a GPS on her all the time
