The Love Triangle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Yanely complained, "Why do we have to wait for her first?"Riley had a headache. How did she end up with such a foolish daughter? She explained with patience, "If Madeline is still in the hospital and you ask Caleb out on your own, he won't be happy. He might even drag you to apologize to Madeline. "Do you want to apologize to Madeline?"Yanely shook her head vigorously. Madeline came from a poor family, it was done, and there was no way Yanely would apologize."So, Mom, what are you going to do about Madeline?"Riley just smiled. "Don't you worry about that."Yanely sulked. "Come on, don't be mad. It doesn't suit a young lady to lose her temper."Riley pulled out a card from her wallet and offered it to her. "It's loaded with seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, go have fun shopping."Yanely's eyes sparkled, and she reached out eagerly. Riley quickly pulled it back, cautioning, "Stay under the radar. If the old lady hears about this, it won't be good for either of us."Ya

Trevon was immediately filled with regret. He had promised himself he would not get into another fight with her. Why could he not just hold back?Madeline's hands were balled into fists so tight that her nails were cutting into her flesh, but she did not even wince at the pain."Mr. Gibson, you had really bent over backward for Lydia. I value my own well-being too much. Maybe we should just get a divorce now?" He had just said it in a fit of anger, but was she actually taking him seriously?Trevon's brows knitted together in frustration. "That's not what I was trying to say."Madeline shrugged it off. "Whatever your intentions are, they don't interest me."She handed Trevon the hospital bill. "Just take it out of the 1.5 million dollars from the divorce settlement."Trevon examined the bill, his expression changing as he understood what it was. Looking up, he said, "You checked out because of the bill? The Gibson family can easily cover that. Stay a few more days, rest up properl

Daniel laid out the last three years of Madeline's financial ins and outs."Here's the breakdown of Mrs. Gibson's earnings for the past three years. The hefty chunks came from selling her paintings, mostly during her first year of marriage. Later on, the cash flow was mostly smaller transfers from a buddy named Yeneth, one thousand here, three thousand there. Not big amounts, but they came through pretty often. Other than that, Mrs. Gibson didn't have any other income."So, it was clear as day—Riley had not contributed a dime to Madeline's finances. Madeline's life, which looked good on the surface, was actually funded by her mother's art and her own hustle.Trevon's face was a storm of colors, anger and shock battling for dominance. "Then where the heck did the extra seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars from my account vanish every month!"When he got back in the business saddle, Riley had been siphoning off a cool seven hundred and fifty thousand a month, claiming it was for

His response was met with a pillow to the face.Madeline, livid, hurled it straight at him. The blow actually hurt Trevon, who quickly snatched the pillow away and seized Madeline's hand, pinning her to the bed. "Madeline, I'm warning you, stop pushing my buttons!"In doing so, he yanked away the blanket, leaving her completely bare.Madeline was a mix of rage, frustration, and shame, and she broke down crying."Trevon, you're a creep! A jerk! A total loser! Why don't you just drop dead!" She sobbed uncontrollably, her words laced with venom.Trevon felt like his head was about to explode with frustration, unable to focus on Madeline's seductive presence. "Enough," he snapped.Madeline's glare could have cut glass, her tears still falling steadily. His anger dissipated, replaced by a softer tone, "I didn't mean to. How was I to know you'd change without shutting the door?"I've seen it all. It's not like I can gouge my eyes out for you. Or maybe I should strip too, let you have

Madeline gave a nod. "I'll see if my senior, Caleb, has a moment."Yeneth teased, "Look at you, casually hitting up your senior. I like it."Madeline shot her a look. "Cut the snark. He was a huge help while I was in the hospital. Without him, everyone would've known about the baby. I owe him thanks.""Don't give me that. You can't tell me you're clueless about how he feels." Yaneth said.That was the unspoken crush that had not wavered since their college days.Madeline paused, her voice softening. "You know my deal. No money, a sick mom to care for. If Madam Gibson hadn't pushed for it, using the excuse of chasing away bad luck, I'd never have made it into the Gibson family."Three years on, nothing's better. Now I'm a divorced mom with a kid in tow. Think I stand a chance with the Jabs family, another high-society clan?""Who knows, maybe the Jabs are different from the Gibsons. Plus, you're a senior..."Madeline quickly covered her mouth. "All these fancy families, scratch
