Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 310

They implanted the pre-prepared tracking trojan, targeting every shred of Madeline's digital footprint.

Lucius had paid a small fortune to acquire this specific program from a former cybersecurity contact.

It was flawlessly precise, totally invisible, and nearly impossible to reverse-engineer.

The moment he hit the Enter key, Lucius let out a long breath of relief.

Streams of data began dancing across the screen, lines of code scrolling at breakneck speed.

The tracking module pinged the target device's network for its location.

He leaned back in his chair, took a sip of coffee, and glued his eyes to the monitor.

A signal flared.

Lucius instantly bolted upright, his heart hammering against his ribs—a pulsating red dot had appeared on the map.

The coordinates pinned her to the other side of the world, on a private island he had never visited: Aurelia Island.

Just as he moved to zoom in and screenshot the location, the screen aggressively glitched.

Every single code window instantly slammed shut.

Lucius froze.

A second later, his entire monitor went pitch-black.

Right in the center, a simple line drawing of a kitten slowly materialized—it was the same avatar Madeline had used for her social media accounts for years.

The kitten blinked at him.

Then, stark white text began popping up at the bottom of the screen.

It looked as if someone was actively typing on the other end, delivering the message word by word.

'Lucius, you really are trying to track me.'

His hand locked rigidly on the mouse, his entire body feeling as if it had been doused in ice water.

She found out.

Not only had she detected him, but she had reverse-tracked his hardware and completely locked him out of his own system.

Before he could even process it, new messages flashed across the screen.

'That former cybersecurity guy you hired has garbage skills.'

'Have you forgotten? You forced me to collapse and beg at the old manor just so you could marry Liliana.'

'You told me you only loved her and that the divorce papers were already signed!'

'We have absolutely nothing to do with each other anymore. What gives you the right to track me?'

Lucius stared at those brutal words, a scalding wave of regret burning his eyes.

He wanted to scream that it wasn't true. He wanted to beg her for just one more chance.

But he couldn't even type. He was trapped like a caged animal in front of the screen.

He could do nothing but watch as the woman he loved mercilessly tore open his ugliest sins.

'I spent eight years teaching you how to love me, Lucius.'

'You never learned.'

'And now, you don't have to.'

The screen went black again before instantly resetting. All the windows vanished, and his original wallpaper returned, making it look as though nothing had happened at all.
