Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 397

Liliana, of course, knew Terrence York wasn't actually her grandfather. She had only gained the backing of this immensely wealthy and powerful titan because she had usurped the identity of the Prescott Heiress.

No one else knew the truth, and they never would, because Terrence had strictly ordered her to keep their connection a secret.

Yet, Liliana hadn't hesitated to tell Eleanor Prescott everything.

Eleanor instantly connected the dots. That wretched Rosemary Monroe must have married an illegitimate son of the York family.

Eleanor was determined to exploit this hidden connection. Since the York family clearly felt they owed Liliana a debt, sending Liliana in to introduce the Whitman Group to Terrence was a foolproof plan.

With matching financial bids on the table, there was no reason the Yorks wouldn't favor their "own flesh and blood."

Besides, Quentin was currently at odds with the York family on multiple fronts.

Liliana was absolutely confident she would steal this contract from under Quentin's nose.

She had called Terrence, claiming she had recognized his familiar voice while spending time with Penelope. She promised to keep his identity a secret but insisted she wanted to visit her "Grandfather" in person.

Overjoyed, Terrence had instructed Tristan to invite both Liliana and Quentin over, using the excuse of re-establishing friendly ties between the two families.

Liliana had come fully prepared, dragging Alastair Whitman along to arrive early. However, she had gotten sidetracked shopping in Empire City's high-end districts for days, maxing out Alastair's credit cards.

They had only just arrived, and before she even had the chance to introduce Alastair, Quentin had shown up.

The York family staff had rushed out to welcome Quentin.

At this point, Tristan couldn't hold back his disdain any longer. He directed a deeply hostile look at Liliana. "Ms. Lansbury, who is this older gentleman with you?"
