Madeleine sneered, "That's 'cause Nathan's only got one son right now. Once he's got more kids, Keith won't matter anymore."
Keith hadn't taken over as the head of the family yet. Nathan's still in his prime. Madeleine figured that by the time her own kids were grown up, Nathan would be ready to step down.
With her own kids in the picture, how could Keith possibly have a shot at becoming the family head?
Her kids would have the support of both parents, while Keith only had a father who didn't like him and a mother who's lost her marbles. How could he compete with her kids?
Plus, she's managed to buy off a lot of the Blue family members.
It's a shame, though, that despite dating Nathan for years, not only had she not managed to sleep with him, but she's also not sure if she can successfully marry him. Though Nathan did have her as his company for important events, she wanted to be more than that!
Mr. Blue must know about Madeleine's plans. Although they were partners now, once Madeleine became a member of the Blue family, they won't be on the same team anymore.
Partnerships were always temporary.
"Pity Nathan's only got Keith. If you don't want him to be the future head, you better get closer to Nathan. He won't leave his wife and marry you unless you have a child with him. Or else, just help someone else in the Blue family usurp Keith. It's good for you too; anyone would be better than Keith."
If Keith smoothly became the family head, revenge was a given.
Mr. Blue had done too many things behind the backs of the Blue family, so Keith can't be allowed to take over.
Annoyed, Madeleine said, "You think I don't want that? Just keep a close eye on Keith and his mother. As soon as they're back in Skywatch, we spring into action. If we fail, we'll be waiting for the fallout."
With that, Madeleine hung up.
She thought Mr. Blue was scheming but not nearly competent enough.
She would wait. Once she and Nathan got it on, she would force him to marry her, even if necessary. She's always craved to be the lady of the Blue family.
After ending the call, Madeleine tossed her phone aside but couldn't settle down. She paced back and forth in the hall.
Madeleine's father walked in. Seeing her pacing, he asked with concern, "Madeleine, what's wrong? Something bothering you?"
"Dad."
Madeleine walked over, lightly supporting him. "Who else could bother me besides Nathan?"
Father and daughter sat on the sofa. After pondering for a moment, Mr. Porter said, "I didn't expect Nathan to be as stubborn as a rock. You've been with him for so many years, yet he hasn't developed deeper feelings for you."
In Skywatch, everyone was saying that Janice Blue had lost her mind and would soon be abandoned by Nathan.
Everyone knew Nathan and Madeleine were close. Madeleine often stayed at the Blue family mansion, acting like she was already the lady of the house.
Everyone was waiting for Nathan to kick his wife out.
