Chapter 252
The discussions outside the ward meant nothing to Maison. As soon as Tanya and Rebecca lett, her phone ring. It was shane.
She answerd the call.
“Ms. Locke, there’s something wrong with Helena. She won’t let us get close!” Shane’s anxious voice came through
Madison could clearly hear Helena’s piercing screams on the other end of the line.
‘mming over right now..” she began to speak, but before she could finish, the phone was taken over by someone else.
The person said, “Ms. Locke, there’s no need for you to come. Just focus on recovering in the hospital.”
“Wanda?” Madison recognized the voice.
“atter knowing that you’re okay, Yara insisted oncoming to check on Helena. She told me to bring them along.” Wanda added.
Of course, Yara could go herself, but shane and the others couldn’t see her, so someone had to communicate for her.
“Becareful,” Madison replied over the phone.
Yara’s voice came through again. “You should take care of yourself!!

Madison rubbed her phone between her fingers. “If the Locke family thinks I’m a burden, I can sever ties with them.”
She couldn’t actually leave the Locke family. At the very least, she couldn’t openly cut ties. Otherwise, she risked provoking the heavens backlash.
Rebecca, as the heavens favored one, needed Madison as a contrast to highlight her kindness, beauty, and success.
“Ms. Locke, you clearly understand everything. Why force yourself to cut ties with the Locke family?” the system asked.
“Do you know what will happen if you really sever ties with them? The heavens might do something unexpected,” it continued
Madison scoffed. “If I remain in the Locke family with my current spiritual power, I’ll just end up as Rebecca’s pawn, manipulated at her will.‘
She added defiantly, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who lets others play with me?”
The system fell silent
Noticing Madison’s expression naming cold, Sebastian slightly narrowed his eyes. His fingers instinctively curled for a moment before quickly relaxing, as if nothing had happened.

He said, “There’s no need to sever ties. The Hall family can cooperate w
While it was termed cooperation, it was more like support. The Locke family’s status was nowhere near that of the Halls.
