Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 357

"You're telling me this is Liliana's dad?"

Lucius felt like his brain was short-circuiting.

He was processing a massive amount of information all at once.

He knew Liliana's father perfectly well—he was a sleazy, middle-aged man.

He bore zero resemblance to the refined, elegantly handsome man playing the piano in the photograph.

Wyatt, however, treated it as common knowledge.

"Yeah, the guy on the piano is her dad. I heard he was professionally trained in theater, playing the heroic leads. But even off stage, the man was incredibly good-looking. I still remember the first time I saw him; I was absolutely blown away.

"He was striking. Beautiful, even. Probably the most handsome man I've ever seen."

This man was undeniably not Grant Lansbury.

But Lucius refused to give up just yet.

He pressed further, "What was his name?"

Wyatt shrugged. "I was too young to remember his full name. I don't remember the exact name, but it had a distinct ring to it, something elegant. It definitely wasn't Grant."

That confirmed it for Lucius. It absolutely wasn't Grant.

And Grant was definitively Liliana's father.

The only logical conclusion was that Liliana was not the real Prescott heiress.

She was a total fraud.

No wonder Lucius had sensed that Quentin and Sebastian harbored such deep-seated contempt for Liliana.

They didn't like her at all because she was an imposter.

He should have realized it sooner; otherwise, they never would have treated her with such hostility.

But how did Liliana have the nerve to impersonate a billionaire heiress?

Then it hit him: Eleanor Prescott's unwavering backing. It was glaringly obvious that Eleanor knew Liliana was a fake.

Grant and Eleanor were incredibly close, and Grant frequently visited the Prescott estate.

Why would Eleanor force Liliana into this fake identity?

Just to scam the Whitman family?

Lucius couldn't wrap his head around the motive just yet, but his entire worldview was crumbling.

Seeing Lucius zone out, Wyatt didn't understand why he was reacting so intensely.

"What's wrong, Lucius? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Nothing, it's just unexpected, that's all," Lucius quickly covered up.

He couldn't let anyone know this secret until he fully understood what was going on.

If the news leaked and ruined Eleanor's master plan, she would undoubtedly retaliate against him.
