Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 350

Last night, Wyatt had hit it off with him and dragged him aside for drinks. After having too much to drink, Lucius poured out everything about his past with Madeline. Wyatt felt quite sorry for him after hearing the story.

This was because Lucius had heavily romanticized his own version of events.

He claimed that Madeline had been with him for eight years, but because Liliana had drugged him and gotten pregnant, Eleanor had forced him to divorce her. And right after the divorce, Madeline was snatched away by Quentin.

Lucius hadn't officially married Liliana yet, and he was determined to win Madeline back.

Wyatt believed him because during the banquet, when Lucius's current partner fell to the floor, he hadn't stepped up to defend her, yet the moment his ex-wife's reputation was attacked, he immediately stood up to clear her name.

However, he still had to advise Lucius, "Forget about it. Do you really think you can outplay Quentin? What's done is done. Don't let Quentin find out you're still harboring these thoughts, or you and the Whitman family will be in deep trouble. He still holds shares in your family's company, you know."

Wyatt wasn't wrong. He was giving Lucius well-meaning advice. Looking at Lucius's pale face, Wyatt saw that while he didn't have an extreme reaction and likely understood the gravity of the situation, he was clearly hurting inside.

Quentin snapped his fingers, and the butler ordered the meal to be served.

First, each person was served a bowl of premium bird's nest soup, each portion featuring a perfect, whole nest. After that, they were presented with exquisite braised abalone, which tasted absolutely incredible.

Madeline was eating quietly when she suddenly heard the butler asking Quentin beside her, "Sir, Miss Lansbury wishes to come in and join the gathering. Should we allow her entry?"

Madeline knew this "Miss Lansbury" was Liliana.

Though Madeline didn't look up intentionally, she noticed Lucius was seated at the table. This made her extremely uncomfortable and even a bit scared; Quentin intimidated her so much that she didn't even dare cast a single glance in Lucius's direction.

No one here wasn't terrified of Quentin, but she caught it in her peripheral vision. Madeline found it strange that Quentin had actually left a guest room for Lucius, allowing him to stay the night in the villa. In reality, Quentin had intentionally kept Lucius around.

However, the fact that Quentin broke convention to be with a woman of Madeline's status gave Sheri a few more delusions.

She felt she outshined Madeline in every way—she was taller, wealthier, and had a much more aristocratic background. This only strengthened her resolve to marry a top-tier billionaire, and fortunately, there were indeed such men at the banquet.

The most outstanding were naturally the four great families. Empire City's elite held immense power, completely overshadowing those from the coast. After looking around, she set her sights on Tristan.

However, Tristan only conversed with the unapproachable Cyrus Sterling throughout the event. Sheri figured that if Liliana could secure them a place to stay, they might just end up sleeping next to Tristan's room.

Sheri didn't even need to bring it up; Liliana wanted to stay just as badly, but in the end, they were kicked out.

When Liliana returned, the old woman immediately called to scold her for being an idiot, saying that all the chaos was entirely her own fault.
