Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 351

The old woman berated Liliana until she cried, her words incredibly harsh and bitter. However, the old woman had no intention of giving up on her just yet and ordered her to immediately redeem herself.

She had to figure out a way to get close to Quentin and Tristan to find out exactly what business they were discussing.

Because the old woman also had spies at the banquet, she found it incredibly suspicious that Quentin had publicly rejected the marriage alliance, yet the York family hadn't turned hostile.

The old woman felt that whatever Quentin could do, she could do too—even if it meant taking a loss. She blamed Liliana entirely for Quentin planting his own people in the corporate group.

She warned her that if she couldn't get this done, she would find someone to replace her, leaving Liliana to carefully consider what her future would look like if that happened.

Terrified, Liliana shamelessly showed up the next day, only to be stopped outside by the villa's security.

Although Quentin despised the woman, he knew that completely shutting her out would be somewhat unreasonable, and he had also received a call from the old woman.

She criticized him for treating Liliana too poorly, pointing out that some of the older generation who didn't know the inside story were starting to suspect Liliana's legitimacy. If this continued, it would set a bad precedent.

The timing wasn't right yet. Quentin still needed Liliana to lower his enemies' guard, so he let her in.

Liliana was overjoyed when she got the news. Entering the dining room, she automatically chose the seat closest to Lucius.

Sitting next to Lucius, she began shoveling abalone into her mouth.

Being in her second trimester, her appetite had surged, and her table manners were slightly appalling.

Lucius couldn't help but show a hint of disgust. He didn't know why, but even though Liliana was carrying his child, he still found her utterly unbearable.

Tristan didn't argue, simply brushing it off with a smile.

Tristan was the only person in the room who showed any concern for Liliana.

He had also spoken up for her yesterday. It wasn't that he had any special feelings for Liliana, but before he came to Quentin's place, his grandfather had specifically called him over.

"Since you're going over there, keep an eye on that child. She can technically be considered your sister."

Tristan's grandfather was Terrence York, the Chairman of the York Group. The York Group was a massive conglomerate focused on equipment manufacturing and industrial facilities, with a registered capital of billions of dollars.

York Chemicals had gone public in Hong Kong in the previous century, making it an incredibly massive financial empire. However, Chairman Terrence York had an unglamorous chapter in his youth.
