All Chapters of The Love Triangle: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

With just one sentence, all eyes in the room turned in anticipation.Stephen quirked an eyebrow. "Oh? Mrs. Gibson, do you know any masters of art restoration?"Madeline, having spoken, immediately regretted her words and chuckled awkwardly. "There are plenty of geniuses out there. I'm sure Mr. Ferguson will find someone capable of fixing the painting.""Here's hoping," Stephen replied with a hint of earnestness. "If the painting can be restored, I'd be happy to give it to her outright."Madeline felt a twitch in her forehead, a silent reminder to herself not to get too eager.Trevon cut in. "Let's check out the items first, shall we?"Stephen let out a quiet sigh of disappointment and gestured for them to take a seat off to the side."I've acquired some pretty interesting pieces just yesterday, and that's why I've called you here to have a look."As he spoke, he had someone bring in the items.Madeline's attention was instantly captured by a painting that had just been brought

Trevon narrowed his eyes. "Why do I get the feeling you're a little too interested in my wife?"Stephen’s lips curled into a sly smile. “You know what they say—behind every great man is an even greater woman. Your wife’s got both brains and beauty. I have to say, I’m impressed.”No guy could just brush off that kind of jab.Trevon's hand clenched on his knee, but he managed to keep his cool."Your parents would never be cool with you marrying someone who's been down the aisle before."Stephen burst out laughing. "Mr. Gibson, you've got us Fergusons all wrong. With your wife's status, it wouldn't matter if she was in her second marriage or even if she brought a kid into the picture. She'd be welcomed into the Ferguson family with open arms."Trevon's expression turned to ice. "So that's why you've been testing her, to see what she's capable of? What's it to you if you know more about her? She's married to me. She's my wife for life."He said it like he was trying to convince Step

Madeline gave Lydia a quick look, cool as a cucumber.Right then, Madeline almost wished Lydia was actually expecting. That would light a fire under Trevon to get their divorce wrapped up quickly.Lydia's smugness, though? That was totally uncalled for."Mrs. Yagle likes you, which is lucky for you and for me. Good luck," Madeline said with a hint of irony, then she turned on her heel and walked away without another word.She caught a glimpse of Lydia, stone-faced as she went back to Riley, but her smile snapped back on like nothing happened.Yeneth was biting her lip with worry. "She's so close with your mother-in-law. What if people get the wrong idea? That can't be good for you, right?"Madeline just shook her head. "Doesn't bother me."What was so great about hanging out with Riley, anyway? All she did was boss her around, treat her like a maid. That was the real insult—not just to her pride, but it was also running her ragged."Just ignore them," she said.Then a server p

Stephen's face soured in an instant. He forced a smile and said, "Come on, what are you talking about? If anyone's going to dance with you first, it's gotta be me, your big bro." Sadie was not having any of it. "Bro, you're hardly ever here. You don't even know the local moves. Trevon's got this."Stephen's eyebrows knitted together in a silent warning.Sadie pretended not to notice and turned to Trevon with a smile, "Hey Trevon, could you help me out here?"She seemed oblivious to the fact that Trevon was off the market, his wife standing just a stone's throw away.The smile slowly drained from Edith's face.Before Trevon could even get a word in, Stephen grabbed Sadie's arm. "She's just kidding around, you know how kids are. We've got to head out and celebrate Wasyl's big day. Catch you later!"Without waiting for a response, he whisked Sadie off.Edith shook her head as she watched them go. Kids these days...She bit her tongue, instead turning to Trevon with a suggestion,

Madeline was at a loss for words. Where on earth did Sadie pick up these drinking table one-liners?Stephen shot her a look, thinking she had spoken out of turn.Sadie just shrugged, giving Madeline a challenging look.Madeline grabbed the water, gave it a quick sniff, and realized it was nothing but plain water. She took a cautious sip."So, Ms. Ferguson, do you believe us now?"Sadie was too quick; Lydia did not have a chance to intervene. Seeing Madeline take a drink, Lydia did not want to cause a scene, so she just clenched her jaw and kept quiet.Sadie seemed a bit more at ease after Madeline drank. She turned to Stephen and said, "Happy now? I'm out of here."Stephen sighed and trailed after her.Madeline glanced at Lydia but did not bother with small talk. She just took her cup and headed off to find Yeneth.Lydia watched her go, unsure whether to follow or stay put. By the time she decided, Trevon was nowhere to be seen.Yeneth was full and was half-heartedly chatting
