Chapter 249
Madison didn’t argue with the system and simply asked, “System, does Rebecca know that I can oppose her once I’ve improved my abilities?”
The system was silent for a moment before replying carefully, “She shouldn’t be able to know. Unless she also has a system.”
The system’s voice faded for a moment. When it returned, it sounded more assured, “I just checked. Rebecca doesn’t have a system. She doesn’t know this.”
Madison was quiet as she leaned back against the headboard, tilting her head up to gaze at the white ceiling.
Was it really impossible to defy the heavens will? No matter how hard she tried, was she unable to fight against the heavens‘ favored ones?
Just then, Tanya hung up the phone and rushed over to Madison. “Your father said he’ll contact the Turners. You’ll need to apologize–the sooner, the better.” She gave Madison a once–over. “Are you physically up for it?”
Rebecca interjected, “1 asked Maddle earlier. She said it’s nothing serious.
Tanya nodded decisively, “If that’s the case, you should go apologize to Rayson tomorrow. Your father said that if Rayson remains angry after your apology, he’ll stepin”

Madison didn’t respond, which caused Tanya to frown slightly, “Madison, did you hear what I just said?”
Madison asked, “So, T
Rayson will target the Locke family because of me, right?”
Tanya sighed. “Of course. Everyone knows that the Tumers are ruthless in business. You barged into his home and hurt Rayson. Did you think that would just blow over?”
Madison continued to gaze up at the hospital ward ceiling, her expression unchanging. “In that case, what if I cut ties with the Locke family?”
She slowly tilted her head back down, meeting Tanya’s and Rebecca’s shocked gazes. “If I cut ties with the Locke family, will that stop Hayson from targeting our family?”
Tanya hesitated, taken aback. Before she could respond, Rebecca spoke up angrily, “Maddie, now’s not the time to throw a tantrum. How can you talk about severing ties with the family? You know how much that would hurt Mom and Dad.”
Mom and Dad look to everyone else?”
