Nathaniel’s notoriety for his ruthlessness was not baseless, after all.
Sparing Madison had been his greatest act of tolerance.
“I know what needs to be done,” said Sebastian.
Sacrificing Madison to safeguard the Taggart family was the best outcome. Sebastian hoped that the Taggart family would be self-aware enough to stop provoking Nathaniel any further.
Without sparing Madison an additional glance, Nathaniel walked away.

When Madison saw him leaving, she spiraled into further insanity. “Nat, don’t abandon me! I’ll die without you!”
Sebastian sighed wearily before pushing the door open and gesturing at everyone.
The tranquilizer gradually took effect in Madison’s body, rendering her incapable of doing anything even without anyone restraining her.
Looking down at Madison, Sebastian said coldly. “Mr. Hadley has left, so there’s no need for you to feign madness any longer. Your pitiful act may work on the foolish members of the Taggart family, but it’s useless against Mr. Hadley and me.”
Madison stared blankly at the doorway, not saying a single word.
Sebastian didn’t expect her to immediately return to normal. When people pretended to be someone else for far too long, they would begin to believe they had successfully deceived everyone else while gradually transforming into the persona of their imagination.
“You’re left with only two options. First, carry your so-called secrets to the depths of hell. Second, sacrifice. yourself to protect the entire Taggart family,” Sebastian declared, his face devoid of emotion. “Regardless of your choice, it won’t influence Mr. Hadley’s decision. You sacrificed so much for someone else, yet you gained nothing in return. Don’t you find that pathetic?”
Madison buried her face in the blanket lifelessly.
