Semua Bab The Love Triangle: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Lydia had only just learned of Trevon's accident that morning, and she dashed to his side the moment she got the news."Oh Trevon, the thought of you getting hurt scared me to death! You're not seriously hurt, are you?"In a swift move, Lydia grabbed the bowl right out of Madeline's hands. "What kind of care have you been giving Trevon, letting him get hurt like this? We don't need you here. Off you go!"Madeline could not suppress a chuckle at Lydia's domineering act. If Lydia wanted to play nurse, Madeline was more than happy to take a break.She handed over the bowl without a fuss and quietly enjoyed her breakfast off to the side.Felicia, on the other hand, was nervous. She had been hoping for a thaw in the frosty relationship between Trevon and Madeline.Felicia frowned as she snapped, "Who are you? You have no right to talk to Mrs. Gibson that way. Leave now, or I'll have to call security!"Lydia shot Felicia a look of sheer contempt. "A mere nanny daring to interfere in t

The internet was ablaze with chatter, and somehow, a single dress had become the talk of the town, casting a dark cloud over the Sanders Group. Negative buzz was the last thing they needed.In just a few hours, their website and stores were hit with a wave of returns. Customers had worn the dress once, only to bring it back with the price tag still attached.That was not just embarrassing—it was a direct hit to the month's sales figures. With the company on the brink of going public, the stakes were high. Cilix was feeling the heat.However, calling Madeline? That was unexpected.Madeline let the phone ring, her focus unbroken until the final stroke of her sketch was complete. Only then did she casually return the call after passing her work to the Skylandia team.Cilix was fuming, his mood as stormy as his expression.He had already tried damage control, instructing Lydia to buy the problematic dress. However, getting through to the Silver Leaf Studio was like talking to a brick

Madeline chuckled and replied, "That thirty million, wasn't that my divorce payout? I thought that was my consolation prize for splitting up with Trevon."Cilix's voice was sincere."You're my daughter, and there's always been a piece of the Sanders pie with your name on it. Your mother and I started from scratch together. Even when I was broke, I wanted to make it right by her."Divorced or not, that thirty million dollars is yours. The moment Sanders Group hits the stock market, you'll get every penny that's coming to you," he promised."If you doubt me, I'm willing to put it in my will."Madeline could not shake the feeling that the old fox was up to his usual tricks. To casually promise 30 million dollars just for a chat with the Lewis family? That was not Cilix's usual play.However, if all it took to pocket 30 million was delivering a message to Tracy, Madeline was not about to complain.The divorce was a gamble, and she had been plotting how to reclaim her money for a whi

Caught up in her conversation with Jazzy, Madeline had completely forgotten about Bernard's request for her to draw.It was not until Bernard's voice broke through her thoughts that she snapped back to reality.There was no way she could draw at that moment.Her purpose in coming there was to take Jazzy out for a meal, to offer a little light in the girl's life.Madeline knew all too well the taste of hardship and the weight of despair, and it pained her to see Jazzy, so young, wrestling with life's cruel consequences.She longed to wrap Jazzy in a little more warmth, to shield her from the world's harshness.They had barely stepped outside when a sleek car pulled up to the orphanage's entrance. Madeline's heart skipped a beat, thinking the Quiggs had actually shown up, and she instinctively shielded Jazzy.However, it was not the Quiggs who emerged from the car, instead, a young man with delicate features stepped out.He caught sight of them and arched an eyebrow, "Bernard, Ja

Madeline did not reveal everything about Jazzy to Tracy, only that there were some family issues making it tough for her to stay at home, so she was on the hunt for a temporary place to live.Jazzy had a knack for painting and fashion design, which led her to Tracy's doorstep.Tracy did not pry and quickly made the arrangements.Madeline let out a sigh of relief. If Tracy had dug deeper, she was not sure what she would have said.The whole situation with Tracy and Quigg family was a bit of a mystery to Madeline. She did not think Tracy harbored any old flames for Alden, but in matters like those, she never really knew.The decision she had made was a bit of a leap.However, it was not without its perks. The Quigg folks would not dare come looking for trouble on Tracy's territory.Before Madeline left, she gave Jazzy a serious look and reminded her to avoid talking about the orphanage to avoid stirring up any unwanted drama.Jazzy nodded with determination. "Got it, Maddie."He
