Samson continued, “Let’s talk about you and Madison. After all, handling difficult tenants as a woman might put you at a disadvantage!” 

Audrey insisted, “We live in a society that’s governed by the rule of law. What disadvantages will we face? What could those tenants possibly do to us?” 

Samson said, “That’s not the only issue. Look, you’re still considered an outsider even though you married Mason. As for Madison, she might be a member of the Hill family, but she’s just a young lady! 

“She will eventually get married, and she will take her husband’s name when she does. The assets of the Hill family can’t possibly end up in the hands of an outsider, can they?” 

“Samson, don’t you think your words are contradictory? If you say a woman would take her husband’s name after marriage, shouldn’t I be considered part of the Hill family? However, you keep emphasizing that I’m an outsider. 

“And despite Madison having the Hill surname, you insist that she’ll get married out of the family. You’ve taken all sides of the argument. Can’t you leave at least one for someone else?” Audrey retorted. 

Samson cleared his throat awkwardly and gave Francis a meaningful look discreetly. 

Francis was a big, burly man of few words. He responded bluntly, “Anyway, we have to sort this out in front of Mason today. Your family doesn’t have a son, and it’s unlikely you’ll ever have one. 

“Madison can’t inherit the family business, so all the properties under Mason’s name will eventually be part of the family’s assets.” 

“Francis is right. We should take this opportunity to divide the properties clearly and draft a contract. That way, there won’t be any disputes among us in the future, or it might be unsightly.” 

Audrey was so furious that her breathing became labored, and she was on the brink of collapse. 

Not having a son… 

Those words felt like salt poured onto a festering wound she had suffered for years. 

She had never been able to hold her head high among the Hill family because she had

no son. She had cried countless nights before finally coming to terms with the fact she couldn’t bear a son. 

Audrey had even entertained the idea of allowing Mason to have an affair in order to have a son. Not only did he refuse, but he also scolded her harshly for having such thoughts. 

Audrey knew that it was wrong to have a patriarchal attitude, but the reality was that their family would be bullied and exploited by others without a son! 

Meanwhile, Mason’s cousins were already discussing among themselves how to divide up his properties. 

“Noah will take the properties in the east, while Samson will have the northwest area. I’m the youngest, so I won’t be greedy I’ll just take whatever’s left over,” Francis said. 

Suddenly, the door to the ward was opened with such force that it banged against the wall with a loud slam. 

Madison rushed in and glared at her uncles. ‘Who gave you permission to disturb my dad? Get out, all of you! Get out! Let me make this clear today. If you’re eyeing my family’s properties, you can keep dreaming! I will not allow it!” 

However, none of her paid her any mind. 

Noah said, “Madison, you’re here. Go fetch some hot water for your dad. While you’re at it, get us some breakfast. All of us haven’t eaten yet.”

Samson chuckled. “This kid is really amusing. Does she think she has a say in the matters of the Hill family? Well, it’s normal for a child to be emotionally riled up. She should just stand aside once she’s done talking.”
