Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 155

Madeline finally understood. All his emotional groveling was just a calculated play to protect Liliana.

"You're throwing away your dignity for this?"

"Yes." Lucius had surrendered every ounce of his pride. "I'm begging you!"

"You're pathetic, Lucius. You'd actually grovel in the street for her?"

Lucius ignored her insult, continuously swearing that as soon as the abortion was done, he would send Liliana out of the country and ensure she never appeared again. Madeline didn't care about his promises. She just realized that with his obsessive persistence, he would relentless hound her until he got what he wanted, ruining any peace she had left. If she didn't let Liliana go, Lucius would keep stalking her like this forever.

It was better to just release the leash, let the two of them tear each other apart, and finally buy herself some peace.

Since her necklace was immediately recovered, and Lucius would inevitably hire top lawyers to drag out the legal process anyway, Madeline didn't want to start an all-out war right now and invite more chaos into her life.

She finally nodded.

Overjoyed, Lucius jumped to his feet. "Thank you, Maddy. Once I sort this out, I'll come right back to you."

"Don't bother," Madeline replied flatly.

She wasn't being petty; she genuinely meant it. But Lucius, blinded by his small victory, didn't absorb the finality in her voice and sped off in his sports car.

With Madeline's verbal agreement to drop the charges, he just needed to pay a massive bail and a hefty settlement fee to get Liliana out.

Madeline watched his car disappear into the distance before getting back into her own. Under the cover of night, she headed toward her newly purchased, luxurious coastal mansion.

After posting bail for Liliana, Lucius practically shoved her into his car, intending to drive her straight to the hospital for the abortion.

His true motive for begging so desperately was to prevent Liliana from keeping the baby while sitting in a jail cell. If she wasn't bailed out, he would have no way to force the procedure.

Leo had already pushed his marriage to the breaking point; he absolutely could not let this new child be born.
