Chapter 98
“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 lether 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 thefuture.”
Madison glared at Neville.
Sapphire smiled and stuffed a basket into Madison’s hands. “Take Mr. Preston to the backyard to picksome 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 filledwith weeds and vegetables.
Looking at Madison squatting down to dig up the soil, Neville followed her example and squattedbeside 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 thebasket.
Madison threw the weeds out in exasperation. “Neville, can you open your eyes wide and take a goodlook? 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. Since last night, he had condescended to give her a way out. Itseemed 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 glad to satisfy her.
They sat under an old tree. Madison suddenly recalled the scene where she had just arrived at theGuzman 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 jumpedpiece 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.

Chapter 98
When Neville heard that what she cared about was not their relationship, but the affairs of this village,he felt a little angry. He immediately said coldly. “Can you just think I’m turning this place into a city ofwealth to benefit their descendants?”
“They have been guarding this place for generations, not only to protect the foundation of theirancestors but also to protect. the last pure land. Some things can’t be measured with money. It’s anoble feeling engraved in their bones.”
“Madison, I’m a businessman. I can only use commercial value to measure the value of a piece of land.The protection and feelings you mentioned are meaningless to me. Why don’t you convince me inanother way?”
For example, remarrying him,
Madison knew that she could not convince Neville, let alone her parents to leave Arkaley. They werelike plants that had. taken root here and did not want to leave their homeland 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 this land, I spent 200 million dollars. Over the years, thevalue of the land has been rising, at least five times. Moreover, before coming again, my project teamhas already formulated a perfect development plan. I’ve even contacted the developers. The totalinvestment is at least 2 billion dollars, not including the other costs and the potential commercial value.Do you think you can afford it?”
Madison calculated her value in her mind. Although 2 billion dollars was affordable, her funds hadalready been invested in the businesses. Once this portion of funds was transferred, it would probablycause 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 becomethe joke of the industry, right?”
“So there is no room for negotiation!”
Neville thought of another conjecture and said, “It’s not completely a dead end. I’ve already made theherb farm the prize for the boxing competition. If you can become the champion, you will naturallybecome the owner of the herb farm
Madison knew very well that the herb farm was the central part of Arkaley. If Neville wanted to developArkaley, the project would have to go through the herb farm. Once she obtained the right to use theland on the herb farm, she could think of a way to stall the development plan.
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 village as soon as possible so that their divorce wouldnot be exposed.
When Sapphire heard that the two of them were leaving, she immediately searched for specialties andstuffed 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, Nevillereached out and took them gladly. 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 glared at him fiercely.
Sapphire pulled Madison to the side and whispered, “Maddy, I think Mr. Preston has a good temper. Heloves you from the bottom of his heart. You should treat him better too. Don’t keep a grumpy face allday 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 pregnancypillow I sewed for you last 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 accept it, so she stuffed it into the backseat of Neville andquietly reminded him.
After Neville asked the driver to drive his car out, he forced his way into Madison’s car.
Madison could not flare up in front of her kind deceived parents, so she could only suppress her angerand 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 village, so his stomach was very uncomfortable. On the joltedway, his stomach churned with pain.
He asked with a pale face. “Madison, stop thenovelbin
