Madeline was, of course, about to stir the pot with Lydia. If she did not give her a nudge, Lydia would never do as she wanted.Lydia's icy voice answered the call, "What's up?"Madeline's lips curled into a knowing smirk. "So, Trevon tells me you're planning to jet off abroad?"Lydia's surprise quickly turned to anger. "He blabbed about that to you too?"She had barely hung up on Trevon, and Hector had not even gotten back to her yet—how did Madeline find out so fast? Did Trevon spill the beans to Madeline the second she ended the call? Trevon! Had he really lost all fondness for her?"What's it to you if he tells me? You think you can actually stop me from leaving the country?"Madeline's smile did not waver. "I might not be able to, but the law sure can. Once I file the appeal for the second trial and the court sends you the notice, you're grounded."Lydia felt a jolt of panic but kept her voice steady. "Big deal. If I'm not convicted, once the appeal's over, I'm outta here."

Andrew had kept mum the whole time. Once Hector was out of earshot, he huffed, "The guy's lost his marbles!"For once, Sophia did not rush to Hector's defense. She mused, "I used to think Hector wasn't as sharp as Stephen. I was planning to leave most of the trust fund to him. Looks like he won't be needing it after all."I'm thinking about setting aside half for Madeline. What's your take, Andrew?"Andrew had never been on board with giving Hector such a hefty slice of the fund.Boys need to toughen up, right? Sitting on a pile of cash and living off the interest—how dull is that?"Your call."If Hector got wind of that, he would be beside himself. His studio might have a rep, but the cash flow? Just so-so. Without the Ferguson family's backing, both out in the open and behind the scenes, he would have tanked years ago. Hector's designs? Out there. Sky-high dreams and all.However, catwalks and the real world? Miles apart. He could not live in style alone. So yes, he's strapped

Trevon got shot while saving Lydia? However, Daniel had been adamant that Trevon took a hit, and then Lydia was the one who saved him. Which one happened first?Madeline gripped her phone tighter, her voice icy. "Really? Well, if that fantasy makes you happy, then go ahead and believe it."With the evidence stacked against you, Trevon can't save you even if he wants to."You're not seriously hoping for Mrs. Jeppesen to slip into another coma, are you?"Oh? My bad, what was the name of the hitman you hired for Mrs. Jeppesen? Kyson? He's already behind bars."With a slight smirk, Madeline said, "Lydia, this time, there's no one to do your dirty work with Mrs. Jeppesen. What's your plan now?"She ended the call with a satisfied snap. She was sure Lydia got the message. Hopefully, she would make a move.Madeline dialed Sherah's number. "Mrs. Jeppesen, it's showtime."Skylar, hearing the commotion upstairs, took the chance to check in under the guise of bringing sweet soup, only to

Madeline had been in bed so long she felt stiff and achy. She rose and poured herself a glass of water. Glancing out the window, she noticed Trevon's absence and lifted an eyebrow. She was not exactly disappointed, just baffled by Trevon's recent antics.Lately, he had been finding new ways to bring her food. When she ate takeout with Willa and the others in Oralia, she barely managed a few bites before feeling starved. It made her unexpectedly look forward to Trevon's post-work meal deliveries downstairs.Trevon would not just drop off the food, he would stand there, waiting. He was clearly trying to melt her resolve.Madeline got it, but she was not sure if she should keep up the standoff. Despite her fussiness, Trevon had a knack for hitting the spot with his meal choices.Madeline rubbed her belly, wondering if the baby inside knew Trevon was its dad and was being extra agreeable.The thought made her chuckle. Her phone buzzed with a message from Yeneth, telling her he was stu

Lydia's trial was a no-brainer. Colt figured she would get slapped with a fifteen-year timeout, no surprises there. However, Madeline? She barely batted an eyelash. In her mind, Lydia getting a free ride in the clink for fifteen years was like a vacation she did not deserve.Colt just scratched his nose, keeping mum about it.Edith, ever the worrywart because of Madeline's tumble, would not take no for an answer. She had to crash at the Gibson Group's family mansion. Sure, Madeline's arm was in a rough patch, but other than that, she was peachy. The little bun in the oven? Fit as a fiddle. Edith, not buying it for a second, had Felicia practically frog-march Madeline over.Once there, Madeline's jaw dropped. The place was swarming with chefs—more than a dozen—whipping up dishes from every corner of the globe.Edith made a face. "Trevon just dumped them here one day, said it was to jazz up my meals."I was all heart-eyes at first, thinking I'd get to try some exotic eats."However
