Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 436

Madeline finally realized that Penelope was still treating that old, erroneous hormone report like gospel.

It had been nothing more than a data anomaly caused by temporary hormone fluctuations.

Madeline didn't even bother explaining; Penelope wouldn't believe her anyway.

Madeline didn't think this marriage would end in divorce.

Quentin wasn't the type to toss someone aside for a shiny new toy. Technically speaking, she was his past to begin with.

After so many years, even though she had lost her way and forgotten him, he still found his way back to her.

She could feel that his devotion wasn't driven by fleeting hormones, but by a deep, unwavering love.

It was that unique, exclusive favoritism that Madeline craved more than anything.

Madeline replied coldly, "I'll treat your words as the ramblings of a bitter, jealous bitch.

As long as we love each other today, he is my man and my husband today. And honestly, we've been very happy.

As for you, you're just the jealous bystander watching us love each other while you turn sour.

I really don't understand. You're a privileged heiress, practically perfect on paper.

Why destroy your own life and nail yourself to the cross of being a mistress? I suggest you pull yourself together before it's too late."

With that, Madeline pulled a stack of cash from her clutch and shoved it into Penelope's hand.

"This is for your broken phone."

Penelope snapped furiously, "You're hilarious. I have plenty of money. I don't need yours!"

Madeline smiled faintly, glancing at the cash. "It is a bit much. A screen replacement is only a few hundred bucks."

She peeled off five bills from the stack and tossed them at Penelope. "I've paid you. Whether you pick it up or not is your business."

The crisp hundred-dollar bills brushed against Penelope's hand and fluttered to the floor.

Penelope felt thoroughly humiliated.
