Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 151

Lucius's face was as pale as paper.

Liliana's sudden announcement of her pregnancy had to trace back to that night she had lured him to the hotel after causing a scene at his family's estate.

He had no memory of what happened during that drive, but the audio recording Madeline had played for him made it undeniably clear that they had engaged in a fierce, passionate encounter.

Was this child really his?

Realizing the implications, his gaze shifted to Liliana, his brows pulling into a deep frown.

Before she had returned from abroad to live in his house, she had always been his innocent sweetheart.

But then she used Leo to drive Madeline away, caused a massive scene in front of Arthur, drugged him until he lost consciousness, and conspired with Grant to steal Madeline's doctor. Lucius mentally reviewed every single incident.

He had to admit, Liliana was completely different from the woman he thought she was, and he had no idea how she had turned out this way.

Now, completely disregarding his reputation and feelings, she was publicly exposing their scandalous affair and the fact that she was carrying a married man's child.

Lucius was certain now. She was a vicious, calculating, and selfish woman.

Compared to Madeline's radiant integrity, Liliana was her polar opposite.

If it weren't for this child, he would have simply discarded her using whatever means necessary to ensure she never appeared in front of him again.

He had transferred millions of dollars to her over the years. With just a little maneuvering, he could easily drown her in massive debt and force her out of the city.

But Liliana must have sensed his intentions, which was why she deliberately chose this highly public venue to announce the pregnancy.

It felt like a knife to his back, but Madeline's icy questioning had snapped him wide awake.

No man could tolerate being made a fool of like this.

Besides, Madeline had completely slipped out of his control.

For three months, he hadn't heard a single thing about her. He had no idea she had fully recovered, looking even more stunning than before.

Even Silas could see her transformation; there was no way Lucius would miss it.

Her radiating confidence, her profound self-worth, and her utter indifference toward him made Lucius realize she had been entirely reborn.

When Liliana first returned, Madeline had nothing. She had no money, no job, and Lucius knew exactly where her only property was. He had been so certain she could never escape his grasp.

He had assumed Madeline would just have to tolerate Liliana's existence, even believing that allowing her to keep the title of Mrs. Whitman was fulfilling her ultimate dream.

But now, Madeline was a true titan of industry, holding lucrative gaming copyrights and controlling a publicly listed company.

Her words meant she no longer needed to endure the humiliation he had forced upon her.
