Chapter 60
On this day, Jane slept especially comfortably.
However, as for the Fowler family…
They did not sleep the entire night.
During breakfast, the atmosphere was very gloomy.
Jack, Anna, and Dwayne all had dark circles under their eyes.
Madelyn and Peter were not any better.
They all knew that the court hearing was tomorrow.
The Fowler family had not even found a decent lawyer.
They were all scared off by Andy.
Instead of successfully bribing Andy, Jack had almost been forced to apologize to Jane Fowler in a disgraceful manner.
They had never felt so aggrieved before.
However, they could not think of a countermeasure.
Madelyn bit on her bread. Seeing that no one spoke, she suddenly pursed her lips and felt a lump in her throat. Bean-sized tears fell crazily from her eyes like pearls off a broken string.
No matter how much Madelyn tried to suppress it, she could not control the trembling of her shoulders.
‘****, what’s wrong?”
Dwayne, who was sitting the closest to her, was the first to notice and could not help but speak.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Madelyn.
“I’m sorry, Dwayne, daddy, mummy, Peter… Actually, this is all my fault.”
“If I hadn’t come to the Fowler family, I wouldn’t have angered Janie. Everyone wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation today, and things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
“If only I had left the Fowler family or even disappeared. I feel really bad. My heart hurts because everyone was so good to me and gave me 18 years of safety, security, and the warmest familial love.”
“But my existence is a burden to the Fowler family, and I caused daddy and mummy such difficulties…”
Madelyn could not go on.
Covering her face, she gritted her teeth and sobbed silently.
Her entire body emitted an aura of extreme grief, speechlessness, and guilt.
Dwayne’s heart was about to break.
He quickly patted Madelyn’s head and comforted her.
“****, don’t think that way! You didn’t do anything wrong at all! This is all Jane Fowler’s fault!”
“If it weren’t for the fact that Jane was so vicious that she couldn’t even. accommodate a younger sister like you, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point…”
“You don’t have to take any responsibility for this!”
At this moment, Jack also said, “Yes, ****. In the end, I was the one who caused this. If you want to blame someone, blame me. You don’t have to bear any responsibility for this.”
Madelyn immediately looked up like a frightened little rabbit and shook her head frantically. “Daddy, please don’t say that. If you say that I’ll feel even more guilty.”
“Alright, we’re all family. Now that it has come to this, let’s not dwell on whose responsibility it is. It’s best to think of a solution.”
It was still Anna who spoke.
She looked at Madelyn, her eyes filled with concern.
“Peter, it’s almost time for school. Go to school with ***.”
“You two don’t have to interfere in this matter. Your father and I will think of a suitable solution.”
“Mommy…”
Madelyn still wanted to say something.
“Go, ***. No matter what happens, you will always be a member of the Fowler family, my daughter.”
“In this world, there’s no such thing as a life good enough to justify our daughter sacrificing herself. At least not in our Fowler family! Absolutely not!”
Peter heard what Anna said.
His lips couldn’t help but twitch.
Even if Peter had suffered a huge humiliation at Jane’s hands half a month ago.
When he got home, he was very angry, so much so that he felt like he was about to go crazy. He wished he could grab someone and beat them up
However, in the past half a month, Peter had kept quiet and did not tell his family about this.
At the same time, he did not participate in the lawsuit.
Not only did Peter not have the ability to do so, but it was something that even Jack and Anna found troublesome.
In his heart, he still felt guilty about Jane.
Even if Jane had humiliated her so-called biological brother and had taken revenge in a crazed manner.
Now that he heard Anna’s words, Peter became even more silent.
There was no such thing as a life good enough to justify a daughter sacrificing herself…
Then what was Jane Fowler to the Fowler family?
Madelyn looked at Peter’s silence and could not help but roll her eyes.
Peter Fowler had become quieter and quieter in the past half a month.
Even when facing Madelyn, he would still maintain a smile and dote on her. Just like before, he would stroke her head.
However, Madelyn could clearly feel that… Peter had changed. He was starting to distance himself from Madelyn!
Just as Madelyn was about to speak…
“Master, Madam! Young Sir Henry is back!”
A surprised voice cried out.
Jack and the others could not help but be slightly stunned.
Chapter 27
Then, they looked in the direction of the footsteps.
Henry was 1.88 meters tall and exuded a noble aura. He was wearing al custom-made suit, and the busy days had done nothing to affect his handsome face. He had sharp, neat eyebrows, and his dark, up-tipped eyes practically rippled with the blackness of the night.
On his wrist was a Hublot’s Big Bang worth millions of dollars. It was not encrusted with diamonds, and every button on it was placed extremely carefully, symbolizing its owner’s meticulousness. It was a glossy black. and did not contain even a trace of excess color.
Henry’s expression was indifferent. His elegantly defined silhouette and ever-so-slightly raised chin were enough to show that the low-key, regal air about him was impeccable.
Like a firefly thrown into the darkness, he automatically glowed. Once one caught a trace of him in the crowd, they could not look away. Their gaze would be subconsciously drawn to him automatically.
“Henry!”
“Henry!”
The Fowlers was pleasantly surprised to see Henry.
Jack hurried forward. “Why are you suddenly back? Has the negotiation been settled?”
“It’s already settled, Dad. Any work to do with the aftermath has been handed over to the company’s person in charge over there.”
“I already know Jane Fowler’s lawsuit against us. I have a lawyer friend in Wetanean. She’s capable and willing to help us fight this lawsuit after knowing the situation. I’ve already brought her over.”
“Rose.”
