Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 224

Back then, her entire world revolved around him.

But now, everything had changed.

That single like was her way of publicly and permanently erasing him from her life in front of the entire internet.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

No matter how much Liliana pleaded or called, Lucius refused to visit her or help with her recovery.

She had nearly lost the baby and had barely survived the ordeal.

She needed to stay hospitalized for a week, and he was just going to play dead and ignore her?

Bored out of her mind, Liliana scrolled through short videos on her phone.

Countless accounts were reposting the massive online scandal.

"The ex-wife liked a top comment calling her ex a total jerk. Her absolute disdain has the internet cheering. Madeline is a queen!"

Liliana's complexion drained of color. She gripped the bedsheets so tightly that the fabric bunched up in her fists.

"Currently, the Whitman Group's PR team appears completely unprepared to issue a response."

Suddenly, Liliana let out a soft laugh.

The sound was short and fragile, like a thin sheet of glass shattering on a tile floor.

She leaned back against the hospital bed, resting her hand over her slightly rounded stomach.

A sheen of unshed tears glistened in her eyes, but it was not born from sorrow.

It was pure, bitter mockery.

She knew exactly what was going on.

Lucius was not staying silent because his PR team was unready.

He remained quiet because he had no desire to deny it.

Madeline had liked a single post, and the entire internet was tearing him apart on her behalf.

Yet Lucius could not even bring himself to say, "It wasn't like that."

He was silently accepting the blame.

Liliana furiously wiped away her tears.

Naturally, this infuriated both Liliana and Hudson.

Liliana had wanted to deal with Madeline back then, but with Lucius watching, she couldn't risk ruining her carefully crafted innocent persona.

Later on, when Madeline's study abroad application was sabotaged by an anonymous report, Liliana strongly suspected Hudson was the culprit.

The tip had included a high-definition photo of Madeline and Silas entering The Faculty Housing Complex together.

At the time, Hudson was an active member of the campus journalism club.

A new plan formed in Liliana's mind. By teaming up with Hudson, she could deflect the internet's hatred away from herself while simultaneously shattering Madeline's triumphant image. It was the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.

More importantly, she was determined to expose her rival's true colors.

Right now, the internet was branding Liliana as the villainous homewrecker.

Her reputation was in ruins, but she was going to drag Madeline down into the mud until she looked even worse.

Following the digital trail, Liliana found Hudson's streaming channel. She logged in and immediately dropped a massive amount of virtual gifts, securing the top spot as his highest tipper of the night.

She casually threw tens of thousands of dollars his way, and the moment he ended his broadcast, he reached out to her.

Liliana cut straight to the chase, explaining her intentions and asking for his help in destroying Madeline.
