Madeline nodded and stopped speaking to Karen

Harriet had originally intended to kindly remind Karen not to accidentally reveal Ryan's identity, but she never expected Karen to say it outright.

At this point, she found benell in an awkward position

T's just a dog. No big deal. M. Larion, if you like it, I'll buy you a new one," Karen said.

Madeline shook her head. "No need. Raising a dog is too much of a hassle. I was just playing with Snowy when I saw it. Ms. Green, you are beautiful and even your dog is attractive and lovable."

Karen's expression softened a bit. This dog runs around here all the time and likes to play with people. It's normal for you to like it. If you want to play with it again, feel free

Karen had complicated feelings toward Madeline. She was much more tolerant of Madeline than of any other woman, but at the same time, sl couldn't help feeling angry at Madeline.

Harriet couldn't tell whether Karen was just pretending or if she truly treated Madeline differently.

And just like that, the minor conflict was over.

When Madeline wer

"Snowy is mine." Karen suddenly interjected, casting a cold glance at Harriet. "Just because you're taking care of Madeline now doesn't mean you can challenge me. Remember your own status and position" Harriet quickly shut her mouth.

The Williams family had already met with all the major prominent families.

The family had gathered at home again, while the wind and snow outside were fierce and relentless.

The night was enveloped in a deep, gloomy darkness.

In the side hall, a coffin remained, but no one felt

James looked devastated, his eyes swollen from crying His head hung low, and his back shumped.

He felt deeply regretful-if he hadn't gone out to steal the medicine, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap and brought back poison, leading to the death of Monica, who had originally escaped death. He held himself responsible for Monica's death and Mariam's critical condition.

Alben said. The families I visited, except for the Horton family, are all willing to form an alliance with us-the Shannon family, the Quinlan family, and the Wright family."

Daniel nodded, his face showing deep exhaustion, and said in a hoarse voice, "Albert, you are truly capable. The families I visited, including the Grant and Larson families, are also willing to join."

The people present couldn't help but think, The Larson family made a shrewd decision in this delicate situation. Despite Madeline Larson being one of their own they are willing to align with us to eliminate her, fully aware of the consequences of not cooperating. But still, they are quite Toneretting

Seeing their demeanor, everyone knew things hadn't gone well.

"We failed; Kraton said with a dark expresion. "We approached the Wagner, Xuereb, and Zook families, but they all rejected us.

Albert sighed and said, "Those three families are at the top. If they don't intervene, we'll be fine. But if they oppose us, we'll be in trouble.

"As of now, we have the support of the Shannon, Quinlan, Wright, Larson, and Grant families, along with the Martial Arts Alliances. We're sure to make a significant impact nationwide.

"Our coalition is strong enough. We don't need to fear losing. I can't wait to see how Caleb plans to protect Madeline!"

Daniel, consumed with sorrow, said. "Exactly. How can six families not be a match for them? My da this vengeance must be exacted!"

My daughter was murdered and my wife was injured-

The others agreed.

At the Larson residence, Vanessa couldn't sleep that night. The wind howled outside her window, filling her with anxiety. After tossing and turning. she got up and went to her mother's room. Tiana was on the

phone in her room. When she turned and saw her daughter at the door, she waved her over.

Tiana ended her call and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Mom, I feel really uneasy. We shouldn't go against Madeline anymore. Monica is already dead... Vanessa said, overcome with the fear of Madeline. She added, "Think about it-two members of the Williams family are already dead. Why are we involving ourselves in this mess! Mom, I used to think Madeline was just some country bumpkin, but I've changed my mind; her support is too formidable."

Tiana stroked her daughter's head gently. "Vanessa, six powerful families are united. If we win this, our collective success will bring great honor to us all.

"Our family is already at the bottom of those six. If we don't join, we'll be marginalized by the Williams family and won't be able to survive in Japrium.

"It's not about whether we want to or not; we only have two choices: aligning with the Williams family or becoming their enemy,"

Vanessa shook her head and said, "Mom. I really think we shouldn't provoke Madeline anymore. I feel so uneasy. I felt that if we continue down this path, I'll end up like Monica.."

Ever since Monica's disappearance, Vanessa had been on edge and plagued by nightmares, and after hearing of Monica's death, she was completely petrified.

Her hands were shaking as she added, "Mom, why are you always focused on not offending the Williams family?

"We never had any connections with them. They'll end up in a bitter struggle with Madeline's brothers, and in the end, they'll be severely weakened and owe many favors. How will they still have the strength to deal with us?

"Other families are sitting on the sidelines, such as the Horton family. I asked Nick, and he told me to stay out of it...

Tiana glanced at Vanessa and realized why, despite it being unlike her nature, Vanessa had suddenly chosen to dissuade her from the alliance.

Tiana asked, "Did Nick send you to convince us to spare Madeline? He has a bit of a soft s used."

spot for Madeline. Can't you tell? Silly girl, you are being

Vanessa stomped her foot. "I don't care about his motives! We can't join the Monica! I'm still young-I don't want to die such a horrible death! If we stay out of this, at least, we won't lose our lives, even if there are other Williams family in targeting Madeline. I don't want to end up like consequences.

Every time Vanessa thought about Monica's sudden death, she felt deeply alarmed.
