Chapter 539 A Meeting
Nathaniel’s notoriety for his ruthlessness was not baseless, after all.
Sparing Madison had been his greatest act of tolerance.
“I know what needs to be done,” said Sebastian.
Sacrificing Madison to safeguard the Taggart family was the best outcome. Sebastian hoped that the Taggart family would be self-aware enough to stop provoking Nathaniel any further.
Without sparing Madison an additional glance, Nathaniel walked away.

When Madison saw him leaving, she spiraled into further insanity. “Nat, don’t abandon me! I’ll die without you!”
Sebastian sighed wearily before pushing the door open and gesturing at everyone.
The tranquilizer gradually took effect in Madison’s body, rendering her incapable of doing anything even without anyone restraining her.
Looking down at Madison, Sebastian said coldly. “Mr. Hadley has left, so there’s no need for you to feign madness any longer. Your pitiful act may work on the foolish members of the Taggart family, but it’s useless against Mr. Hadley and me.”
Madison stared blankly at the doorway, not saying a single word.
Sebastian didn’t expect her to immediately return to normal. When people pretended to be someone else for far too long, they would begin to believe they had successfully deceived everyone else while gradually transforming into the persona of their imagination.
“You’re left with only two options. First, carry your so-called secrets to the depths of hell. Second, sacrifice. yourself to protect the entire Taggart family,” Sebastian declared, his face devoid of emotion. “Regardless of your choice, it won’t influence Mr. Hadley’s decision. You sacrificed so much for someone else, yet you gained nothing in return. Don’t you find that pathetic?”
Madison buried her face in the blanket lifelessly.
Observing this, Sebastian furrowed his brow. It would be hard to extract a confession from her.
“Tie her up and lock her in the isolation chamber. Employ all the methods used for mentally-ill patients. Her condition seems severe, so we can’t allow her to escape and harm others,”
The moment he said that, Madison’s shoulders quivered imperceptibly.
Sebastian scoffed mockingly and left.
Meanwhile, Madison was transported to the isolation chamber. Her agonized screams reverberated in the chamber endlessly.
Christina spent several days in the hospital before returning to Scenic Garden Manor to spend her days of pregnancy.
After she chased Anya out of the ward, the latter never made another visit. The Gibson family quietened. down, too.
Nathaniel insisted on sending the two kids to the Hadley residence, permitting them to return for only two days a week.
Thankfully, Lucas and Camila were understanding and well-behaved. Knowing that Christina was pregnant, they did not dare to kick up a fuss at home or constantly pester her.
On the other hand, Rayne visited Christina a few times because of work. As the clients’ requirements were too strict, it was impossible to reach their standards even after changing the designers and drafts multiple times. Left with no choice, Rayne could only seek help from Christina.
While Christina provided suggestions regarding the designs, she left the execution to the other designers.
Nathaniel was slightly dissatisfied about this. However, Christina knew him well. It took some effort, but she managed to appease him.
With Nathaniel’s approval, Christina frequently visited the studio. While it appeared to be for supervising. it was actually to alleviate her boredom at home. Nowhere else could make her more engaged than the
studio.
