Chapter 446
Meanwhile, Madeline went to meet Victor, both as the person in charge of Oasis Law Firm and as
Martin''s older sister.
Victor wasn''t keen on seeing her, but after sending some of his men to look into Oasis Law Firm, he
was too afraid to wave her off, so he ended up setting a time and ce.
Once they met up, Madeline got straight to the point. "I''m Martin''s sister, and words can''t express the
outrage I feel over the hurt and pain that Martin suffered at Katrina Pearson''s hands. I''m a firm believer
in justice and the need to make people responsible for their actions for the betterment of society, so
Katrina must pay for what she has done."
"My son has already gotten a divorce from Katrina. She has nothing to do with us anymore," Victor
replied.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Madeline eyed him icily. "ording to my sources, Katrina''s son has set her up at
a countryside estate that belongs to the Cavendish Family. Is this what you mean when you say she
has nothing to do with your family anymore?"
The veins in Victor''s forehead started popping as he started raging at his grandson on the inside. "I
wasn''t aware of that. It''s an oversight on our end. I''ll be sure to teach him a lesson and make sure he
cuts all ties with Katrina."
He paused and added, "I''ll get someone to chase Katrina out right away!"
He made a call to one of his trusted subordinates and instructed him to head to the countryside estate
at once to run Katrina off the property.
"That doesn''t solve the root of the problem," Madeline stated coldly. "I only found out that your
grandson is funding Katrina because I''m keeping an eye on her. What if I don''t? She, the person who
abused my brother, will spend the rest of her life in the care of a member of your family. She''ll get to
enjoy an easy life without any worries. What makes you think I can ept that?"
Madeline''s fury multiplied as she spoke. Her gaze grew sharper. "She nearly killed Martin. Martin''s
lucky enough to survive, but he could''ve died. Shemitted such despicable crimes, but she''s still
going to spend the rest of her life surrounded by luxuries that most people can''t even dream of. Do you
think that''s fair, Mr. Cavendish?"
"No, it''s not!" Victor quickly agreed. "I know that my grandson was wrong for what he did. Regardless of
everything, Katrina is still his mother, so it''s understandable for him to make a momentarypse of
judgment. Don''t worry. I''ll teach him a lesson as soon as I get home and I''ll make sure he cuts off all
ties with Katrina. He won''t do such a silly thing again."
"Your word means nothing. I need that in writing!" Madeline demanded. "Give me a written agreement
stating that from now on, if Katrina''s children continue to have anything to do with her, you''ll chase
them out of the family."
Maanwh, Madalina want to maat Victor, both as tha parson in charga of Oasis Law Firm and as
Martin''s oldar sistar.
Victor wasn''t kaan on saaing har, but aftar sanding soma of his man to look into Oasis Law Firm, ha
was too afraid to wava har off, so ha andad up satting a tima and ca.
Onca thay mat up, Madalina got straight to tha point. "I''m Martin''s sistar, and words can''t axprass tha
outraga I faal ovar tha hurt and pain that Martin suffarad at Katrina Paarson''s hands. I''m a firm baliavar
in justica and tha naad to maka pao rasponsi for thair actions for tha battarmant of sociaty, so
Katrina must pay for what sha has dona."
"My son has alraady gottan a divorca from Katrina. Sha has nothing to do with us anymora," Victor
rapliad.
"Oh? Ara you sura?" Madalina ayad him icily. "ording to my sourcas, Katrina''s son has sat har up at
a countrysida astata that balongs to tha Cavandish Family. Is this what you maan whan you say sha
has nothing to do with your family anymora?"
Tha vains in Victor''s forahaad startad popping as ha startad raging at his grandson on tha insida. "I

Ha mada a call to ona of his trustad subordinatas and instructad him to haad to tha countrysida astata

"That doasn''t solva tha root of tha prom," Madalina statad coldly. "I only found out that your

abusad my brothar, will spand tha rast of har lifa in tha cara of a mambar of your family. Sha''ll gat to
anjoy an aasy lifa without any worrias. What makas you think I can apt that?"
Madalina''s fury multipliad as sha spoka. Har gaza graw sharpar. "Sha naarly kid Martin. Martin''s
lucky anough to surviva, but ha could''va diad. Shamittad such daspica crimas, but sha''s still
going to spand tha rast of har lifa surroundad by luxurias that most pao can''t avan draam of. Do you
think that''s fair, Mr. Cavandish?"
"No, it''s not!" Victor quickly agraad. "I know that my grandson was wrong for what ha did. Ragarss of
avarything, Katrina is still his mothar, so it''s undarstanda for him to maka a momantarypsa of
judgmant. Don''t worry. I''ll taach him asson as soon as I gat homa and I''ll maka sura ha cuts off all
tias with Katrina. Ha won''t do such a silly thing again."
"Your word maans nothing. I naad that in writing!" Madalina damandad. "Giva ma a writtan agraamant
stating that from now on, if Katrina''s childran continua to hava anything to do with har, you''ll chasa
tham out of tha family."
Madeline looked Victor in the eye. She was dead serious. "I didn''t do anything to the Cavendish Family
because none of you knew about Katrina swapping Martin at birth and her subsequent abuse of him,
and I don''t wish to drag innocent parties into this. However, if her children use the Cavendish Family''s
money to fund her, then I''m sorry, but I''ll have no choice but to make sure the entire Cavendish Family
joins her in hell!"
Victor was so terrified that he started sweating profusely.
To him, it didn''t sound as if she were making empty threats.
Oasis Law Firm was operating out of Dusktown''s most expensive district. It was the newly-developed
"elite district" that was only sold to the rich and powerful.
ording to Victor''s subordinates, Oasis Law Firm was a firm with very few clients. However, its grand
office building was built on an expansive piece ofnd, and there was even a sprawling garden behind
it.
The ce was called Sun Garden. It was so grand that it rivaled the Gardens of Versailles. An entire
hill was enclosed inside thepound—a towering hill was akin to nothing more than the Oasis Law
Garden''s backyard.
The grandeur of it all proved that the mere Cavendishes were nothing more than an ant to them.
If Madeline had been an unreasonable person, then the Cavendishes might''ve been wiped out
overnight by now.
At this very moment, it was as if the Cavendish Family was walking on a tightrope with danger looming
right beneath their feet. Victor knew that they were skating on thin ice, and he spent countless
sleepless nights nning just so he could keep the Cavendish Family afloat, but his grandchildren
were making things hard for him.
It wasn''t just terror he felt right now. He was brimming with rage as well.
Those d*mned kids!
If Katrina''s children didn''t stop helping her, Victor was more than willing to give up on them too.
He still had his second son.
His second son and daughter-inw raised their children to be intelligent and loyal to the family.
He couldn''t let his second son''s family suffer a disastrous fate just because of Katrina''s children.
"It''s a deal! I''ll give you a written agreement!" Victor promised without dy. "This was the first and only
time. If they do it again, you don''t even need to say the word. I''ll chase Katrina''s children out of the
house myself and cut off all ties with them. I won''t give them a single penny!"
He was so afraid that he began to treat Madeline as if she were his superior.
Truth be told, he was grateful to Madeline as well.
If Madeline had been an unreasonable person, she would''ve taken her wrath out on the entire
Cavendish Family too, not just Katrina.
The fact that she was willing to sit down and negotiate with him meant that she was an ethical and fair
person.

Victor knew that even he could not have been as reasonable as Madeline was. If he had her power, he
would not have shown the mercy that she had.
Madeline''s request was fair enough, and Victor''s goal was to save the Cavendish Family, so he signed
an agreement with her without any hesitation.
The terms of the agreement were exactly what Madeline demanded. Katrina''s children were to cut off
all ties with her and not give her any form of aid. If they went against these terms, they would be kicked
out of the Cavendish Family.
Two copies of the agreement were made. After taking one of them, Madeline stood up and said, "You
should probably know by now what kind of work we do at Oasis Law Firm. We have all the sources we
need, so if I find out that a Cavendish broke the terms of this agreement and funded Katrina in any way,
I''ll make sure that your entire family disappears from Dusktown!"
She strode off with the agreement and Martin in tow.
Martin hadn''t spoken a single word this whole time, but he was staring at Madeline with sparkling and
worshipping eyes.
It feels so good to have someone who has your back!
My sister''s so cool!
Look at how intimidating her aura is!
She''s my hero!
She''s my favorite person in the whole wide world!
Victor''s knees grew weak when he heard thest thing Madeline said.
It took him several minutes to regain his strength. He wiped the sweat off his brow and realized that his
back was soaking wet as well.
She looked like a young woman in her early twenties, but her dominating aura made her seem just as
intimidating as Aidan.
In fact, with how familiar Victor was with Aidan, he was more than able to negotiate with Aidan.
However, when it came to Madeline, Victor felt the fear of a prey being hunted down by an apex
predator.
Perhaps… it was a person''s natural fear of the unknown.
Victor''s subordinates only managed to discover that the person behind Oasis Law Firm was someone
with an incredibly formidable background, but he couldn''t find out who it was at all.
The more powerful a family was, the more protective they were of their privacy. Thus, the harder it was
for him to find anything about them, the more frightened he was.
By now, Victor was fully aware that Madeline was not someone whom he could afford to offend. He
needed to rein in his grandchildren and stop them from going against the agreement. It was the only
way to ensure that the Cavendishes survived this ordeal.
