The Love Triangle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

It was Trevon's prestigious black card from the bank.Madeline had seen and sorted through Trevon's things more times than she could count.Madeline looked away, her voice tinged with disdain. "You know, you're right. Handing out such measly gifts is pretty tacky."Lydia was caught off guard, struggling to keep up.Madeline gave Lydia a knowing smile, snatched the black card from the counter, and headed to the neighboring jewelry store with Yeneth in tow."It's a baby shower, after all. We should at least get a gold lock."Madeline did not wait for Lydia to catch her breath. Instead, she instructed the clerk to bring out every gold lock they had."You're not going to fuss about the gold lock I pick being too pricey, are you?"Lydia mustered a smile, realizing that Madeline was about to play her at her own game. "Of course not. It's just a gold lock."Madeline gave her a piercing look and told the clerk, "Pack them all up. I'm taking everything."The display was crammed with g

Madeline had braced herself for that response, holding her phone at arm's length. Once Riley finished her tirade, Madeline replied with a hint of hurt."Mom, you know I'm broke. I can't afford anything fancy."Riley snapped, "So typical of the Sanders' to not care. Treating a married-off daughter like she's water under the bridge, not even a decent dowry. Pathetic."Madeline bit her tongue.Riley pressed on. "If you've got no money, that's fine, but you can't just skip out on a birthday gift for Yanely."Madeline was confused, symbolized by an imaginary question mark."Didn't your mom leave behind a bunch of paintings before she fell ill? Just pick one and give it to her."Madeline grew furious, but it was tangled with bewilderment.Riley and Yanely's disdain for Madeline was no secret, largely because they were ashamed of Bella's mental illness.However, why would they want anything to do with Bella's art?That request came out of nowhere. Who had been stirring the pot?How

Madeline's emotions went from shock to rage before she finally regained her composure.Yanely's statement was exactly what Madeline expected. Only the Sanders family knew she still had Bella's paintings in her possession.Lydia was crafty, already cozying up to her future sister-in-law before officially joining the family.Madeline scoffed, "Do you actually believe Lydia?"Her voice softened with a tinge of sadness. "You know my mom's really sick, right? The medical bills are through the roof. I'm broke, and all I've got to sell are her paintings. If I had any extra cash, do you think I would be living like this?"Yanely had to admit she believed it. She could not help but scorn Madeline, who was genuinely destitute.Madeline did not have a single item of clothing, jewelry, or designer bag to her name. She was nothing like the rest of their elite circle.Being stuck with such a poor sister-in-law had made Yanely the subject of many jokes.Yanely frowned, puzzled, "Why would Lyd

Trevon immediately tried calling Madeline."The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."He had told Madeline to wait for him. Where could she have gone?"Head to the security office."Trevon was met by the Crystal River Club's manager, Gary Long, a man in his thirties who was visibly sweating bullets."Mrs. Gibson left the club ten minutes ago. After that, the security footage... It's just vanished."The Crystal River Club was no stranger to trouble. Their security was breached previously during a scandal involving a high-profile heiress from Redenbaugh City.That did not bode well.Trevon's fingers twitched with unease as he instructed Simon, "Get in touch with the Transportation Department. Find out if Madeline left the area. What was she driving?"Simon, caught off guard, nodded and fumbled with his phone, unsure of his next move. With no better option, he dialed Daniel, who was all the way in Ameristan, with a heavy heart.The commotion

Trevon's brow creased ever so slightly. "He hurt someone, so the cops have him now."She was silent for a moment before pressing on. "I want to see him."Trevon finally met her icy stare, realizing she did not seem to have any insider knowledge."I'll take care of what happened yesterday. You're not in the best shape, and that chill's really gotten to you. The doctor says you need a couple more days in the hospital. Don't worry about anything else."Madeline glared at Trevon. "So, is it that I shouldn't worry or that I'm not allowed to?"Trevon's hand twitched, his voice turning frosty. "Do you not realize you'd be dead from the cold if I were just a few minutes late yesterday? This isn't your concern. Just focus on getting better.""How can it not be my concern when I was nearly killed?"Madeline's voice dripped with disdain. The whole thing was laughable.Yanely might be the Gibson family's cherished daughter, but she avoided involvement in the family business. Who was desper
