Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 415

Madeline had always felt that Quentin treated her incredibly well, convinced he would never stoop to something like this.

Yet, the hand gripping her phone trembled uncontrollably.

Her mind raced back to the fact that Quentin and Penelope had previously shared a marriage arrangement, even if he was the one who severed it.

But back at the York estate, when Penelope had relentlessly humiliated her, Quentin hadn't reacted immediately.

And just recently, he had lost the massive business deal with the York family.

Madeline couldn't help but wonder if Quentin was desperate enough to win back the contract that he would... resort to this.

It felt as though a steel wire was tightening around her chest, completely cutting off her air supply.

Was Quentin really trying to have it both ways?

After all, Penelope's aristocratic background and family connections were undeniably more beneficial to his ambitions.

Compared to Madeline, Penelope was far more equipped to elevate his empire.

If this were the boy she had known in her childhood, Madeline would have sworn on her life that he'd never betray her.

But so many years had passed. The brutal highs and lows of his life had forged him into a ruthless titan who would use any means necessary to win.

Madeline truly didn't know if he was still the same man who would protect and fiercely defend her until the end of time.

An overwhelming, crushing sadness washed over her.

The security footage was undeniably real.

She had verified it herself—it hadn't been doctored.

Why would Quentin allow Penelope into his hotel room first, and then follow her inside?

Was this appropriate? A man and a woman entirely alone in a private room?

Madeline raised her phone, dialing his number again and again, but every call went unanswered.

Just days ago, she had felt so suffocated by happiness, even dreaming of preparing her body to have his child.

But in the blink of an eye, she had been violently dragged from heaven straight into hell.

Madeline simply couldn't accept this reality without facing it head-on.

That was why she was here.
