“It’s a pregnancy aid. You’ve been married to Mr. Preston for three years, but you haven’t had a baby.
Either Mr. Preston isn’t working hard enough, or you don’t take care of yourself after that.”
There was a hint of bitterness in Madison’s eyes. Even if she hadn’t divorced Neville, he would not let
her give birth to his child. Moreover, she had already lost the qualifications to be a mother.
While she was in a daze, Neville walked over from behind her and whispered, “I’ll work harder in the
future.”
Madison red at Neville.
Sapphire smiled and stuffed a basket into Madison’s hands. “Take Mr. Preston to the backyard to pick
some vegetables. I’ll make lunch for you.”
Madison reluctantly took the bamboo basket and Neville followed behind her.
The two of them crossed the narrow limestone path and walked towards the backyard that was filled
with weeds and vegetables.
Looking at Madison squatting down to dig up the soil, Neville followed her example and squatted
beside her.
“Are you sure we can eat these things?
“You used to eat this when you were young?”
Seeing that Madison was ignoring him, he grabbed a few handfuls of weeds and threw them into the
basket.
Madison threw the weeds out in exasperation. “Neville, can you open your eyes wide and take a good
look? These are vegetables. The ones you dug up are weeds. They can’t be eaten at all!”
Neville raised an eyebrow. “You’re finally not mute anymore.”
Madison threw down the shovel in her hand and looked up at him. “Neville, let’s have a talk.”
The corners of Neville’s lips curled up. Sincest night, he had condescended to give her a way out. It
seemed like she had thought it through.
The woman had been stubborn for so long, so she had to make all kinds of conditions.
Then he would listen to what she wanted.
If the requests were within his ability, he may be d to satisfy her.
They sat under an old tree. Madison suddenly recalled the scene where she had just arrived at the
Guzman family and was crying under the tree.
At that time, Neville was lying on the tree reading a book. He threw the book at her head, then jumped
piece of candy in front of her like a magic trick.
“Hey, here is candy. With the sweetness in your mouth, your heart won’t be bitter anymore.”
Now that she thought about it, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

you bear to destroy all of this?”
Chapter 98
When Neville heard that what she cared about was not their rtionship, but the affairs of this vige,
he felt a little angry. He immediately said coldly. “Can you just think I’m turning this ce into a city of
wealth to benefit their descendants?”

ancestors but also to protect. thest purend. Some things can’t be measured with money. It’s a
noble feeling engraved in their bones.”
“Madison, I’m a businessman. I can only usemercial value to measure the value of a piece ofnd.
The protection and feelings you mentioned are meaningless to me. Why don’t you convince me in
another way?”
For example, remarrying him,
Madison knew that she could not convince Neville, let alone her parents to leave Arkaley. They were
like nts that had. taken root here and did not want to leave their homnd no matter what.
She sighed and said. “Name your price.”
She had already decided to bet her entire assets to redeem her hometown.
Neville suddenly sneered. “When I bought thisnd, I spent 200 million dors. Over the years, the
value of thend has been rising, at least five times. Moreover, beforeing again, my project team
has already formted a perfect development n. I’ve even contacted the developers. The total
investment is at least 2 billion dors, not including the other costs and the potentialmercial value.
Do you think you can afford it?”
Madison calcted her value in her mind. Although 2 billion dors was affordable, her funds had
already been invested in the businesses. Once this portion of funds was transferred, it would probably
cause an interruption in the capital chain, and the losses would be countless. That was a risk.
Just as she was wondering if she should lower the price with Neville, he had already cut off her way.
“Besides, you’re the one who wants to buy this project. You are my ex-wife. So you buy it, I will be
the joke of the industry, right?”
“So there is no room for negotiation!”
Neville thought of another conjecture and said, “It’s notpletely a dead end. I’ve already made the
herb farm the prize for the boxingpetition. If you can be the champion, you will naturally
be the owner of the herb farm
Madison knew very well that the herb farm was the central part of Arkaley. If Neville wanted to develop
Arkaley, the project would have to go through the herb farm. Once she obtained the right to use the
land on the herb farm, she could think of a way to stall the development n.
However, she could not see why Neville wanted to use the herb farm as a bet for the boxing match.
Could it be that he had already sensed something?
Madison did not give him an answer. She just carried the basket and walked towards the front yard.
Lunch was not harmonious. It was even a little dull.
Madison was dying to bring Neville out of this vige as soon as possible so that their divorce would
not be exposed.
When Sapphire heard that the two of them were leaving, she immediately searched for specialties and
stuffed the trunk to the brim.
“Mrs. Holmes gave you some chicken. Remember to go back and cook a soup to nourish your body.”
“Mr. Frost even gave Mr. Preston two jars of Rose Thunder. He said don’t take it too much in one go.”
Madison looked embarrassed. She did not know if she should take the love potion. Instead, Neville
reached out and took them dly. He silently stuffed the jars into the trunk and smiled at Sapphire.
“Don’t worry. Maddy and I will definitely work hard.”
Chapter 98
Sapphire and Shawn smiled in satisfaction.
Madison felt that Neville was doing this on purpose, so she red at him fiercely.
Sapphire pulled Madison to the side and whispered, “Maddy, I think Mr. Preston has a good temper. He
loves you from the bottom of his heart. You should treat him better too. Don’t keep a grumpy face all
day long. No man likes to look at an ill
face.”
Madison gritted her teeth. She had to admit that Neville’s acting skills had improved a lot recently..
He had even deceived her parents perfectly. But this made her look like a bad person.
However, there were some things that she could not expose now, “Mom, I remember it. Never mind.”
Sapphire then stuffed a small pillow to Madison. “There are some special herbs inside. It’s a pregnancy
pillow I sewed for youst night. Remember to put it under your waist when you finish it.”
Madison would never need this thing in her life. She immediately rejected, “Mom, we are still young.
We don’t need it at all.”
“Don’t be shy, my girl.”
Sapphire saw that Madison was unwilling to ept it, so she stuffed it into the backseat of Neville and
quietly reminded him.
After Neville asked the driver to drive his car out, he forced his way into Madison’s car.
Madison could not re up in front of her kind deceived parents, so she could only suppress her anger
and let him sit beside her.
She deliberately increased the speed of the car, allowing it to bump along the winding mountain roads.
Neville was not used to the food in the vige, so his stomach was very ufortable. On the jolted
way, his stomach churned with pain.
He asked with a pale face. “Madison, stop the
