Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 107

Madeline genuinely didn't care; she was just going through the motions of dropping off the food.

But Sheri had already sidled right up to her.

And she immediately spat out the words with a smug, victorious sneer.

"Madeline, my cousin went to send Lily abroad. They're at the airport right now. If you rush over, you might just catch them sharing a passionate goodbye kiss."

Sheri's voice dripped with mockery.

She was practically screaming, *You thought you had the upper hand, didn't you? You thought using the inheritance forced Lucius to grovel. But the truth is, Lucius doesn't give a damn about your feelings. He only surrendered to the money.*

Sheri absolutely loathed Madeline's aloof, holier-than-thou act.

Everyone knew how utterly desperate she would be if she lost her status as a billionaire's wife, which was exactly why she didn't even bother arguing and just let the old man make the final call.

Lucius and Liliana had made a fool of her for five years, and she had even raised his illegitimate child for half a decade—and she had swallowed all of it.

Sheri was dead certain that Madeline's pride was entirely fake. She put up a front of indifference, threatening divorce, but the second she was tossed a lifeline, she grabbed it.

She was as pathetic as they came.

Now, Sheri was determined to tear down that fake pride and force her to face reality.

Lucius had never cared about her. He had never loved her. She would always be the most pathetic one in the room.

Sheri had actually been right there in the hospital earlier. She had sent Lucius a message claiming Liliana was having a severe depressive episode and was threatening suicide. Lucius knew Liliana had just been viciously slapped by the butler and brutally humiliated by Arthur. As a pampered heiress, she obviously wouldn't be able to handle the blow. Lucius did want to send her away, but he wanted her to live a good life, not do something drastic.

So, he ripped out his IV and drove off to find her.

Before leaving, he instructed Sheri that if anyone from Millicent's camp showed up, she was to say he had an emergency work crisis. He figured Madeline was still furious over the chaos Liliana had caused and definitely wouldn't come visit him anyway.

Madeline took the car back to the estate.

Millicent blocked her path right at the entrance.

The moment Madeline stepped out, the old woman demanded, "Why are you back so quickly? Didn't you stay at the hospital to serve him while he ate? Since you've decided to keep your place as the Whitman family's granddaughter-in-law, don't you dare neglect your husband over some trivial little spat."
