Semua Bab The Love Triangle: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Caught off guard, Madeline stumbled forward a couple of steps before regaining her balance.Thank goodness she had stuck to flats those past few days, giving her a steady footing that saved her from a nasty fall.Madeline straightened up and shot a chilly look over her shoulder, gesturing to the security camera tucked away in the lobby's corner."Don't kid yourself into thinking that camera's just for decoration. If you're itching for a stint in jail, I'd be happy to oblige."Aria let out a derisive laugh. "You think you can lay a hand on me?"Madeline had no words for such blind arrogance and simply walked away.A whoosh of wind brushed past Madeline's ear, and she dodged reflexively. A shadowy blur whizzed by, and with a thud, it crashed to the ground. It was the video game console that the kid had been clutching just seconds ago. Madeline chuckled, examining the console. It was tough as nails, not even a scratch after the fall, and the screen displayed some gory, action-pack

Caleb pondered the question for a moment."That could be the case. After reviewing her medical records, it's clear that your mom's episode was triggered by your brother's disappearance. If we can bring him back, it might just be the key to waking her up. It could certainly help steady her emotions."Madeline's brother had been missing for a while, a fact Caleb had been aware of since their college days.He had called in favors from the Jabs family to aid in the search, but they were empty-handed every time.Madeline gave a small nod, her resolve unwavering.She had been searching for years without a trace of her brother, but she was not about to give up. Then, more than ever, she was ready to pour her heart and soul into the search.With her decision firmly in place and Bella still lost in slumber, Madeline figured it was time to step out.At the ward's entrance, Sherah quickly stashed her phone away."Heading out, Ms. Sanders?" she inquired with a hint of curiosity.Madeline'

'What was all that about?'Madeline checked her phone and was floored by the stats. Her 'little treat' had racked up nearly a million views in no time, with comments and shares through the roof.[Ah, ah, ah! Honey!][One 'holy moly' and you rule the world!][It's been ages since we've seen such a steamy piece from Lily Mora.][Those abs! Totally drool-worthy.][I'm officially on the hunt for a new hubby starting today!][Lily Mora, please add some color fast. I'm about to start licking my screen.][Poser alert above! I've been screen-licking for ages.]Madeline could not help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation at the comments about screen-licking and swooning over her 'husband'.Was it really necessary to be so over the top?However, she could not deny the warm buzz of pride knowing her latest creation was a hit.Then, Yeneth dropped a bombshell that left her reeling.[Doesn't this guy look a bit like Mr. Gibson?]Madeline's mind raced. 'No way! Impossible! Stop

Lydia was back at the office.Her injury, her pregnancy—those were her tactics to reclaim Trevon's heart.She knew she could not let her professional life slide.Trevon was the type to keep work and personal life in their own lanes.She had landed the art director gig because she had the resume and the chops to back it up.She assumed her position was safe, but she had not expected that in such a short span, Skylandia had already filled her spot.She became just another artist. Her responsibilities were handed off to Lily Mora, the newcomer who seemed to come out of nowhere.Lydia was seething inside.The sight of the afternoon tea spread Madeline laid out made her want to chuck it all in the bin. However, everyone around her was busy singing Madeline's praises, calling her a generous and big-hearted boss.A cup of tea with milk, a piece of fried chicken, a bit of fruit. Was that all it took to win them over?"Lydia, aren't you going to have some?"Lydia smiled faintly. "I'm

It was Aria, the very woman she had clashed with that morning at the property management office.Clad in a black dress with a daring slit and her bold red lips, Aria was a head-turner at the banquet, her notorious 'son' conspicuously absent.'It's a small world after all,' Madeline thought wryly.Trevon gave her a quizzical look. "Something wrong?"Madeline bit her lip.Daniel had filled her in on the way over about the stakes of the dinner party.It was a pivotal gathering for the Gibson Group, shaping the company's commercial strategies for decades to come. The banquet was a gathering of esteemed partners, crucial to the Gibson Group's future collaborations.Whether the partnerships would pan out seemed to hinge on the dinner's proceedings.Madeline was not sure where Aria fit into all that, but she did not want to sidetrack Trevon's business, so she quietly filled him in on the morning's altercation.Learning that the culprit behind the dangerous littering was Aria's son ma
