Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 63

Victoria Holloway from the domestic department was the only one who refused to sign her resignation and insisted on seeing Lucius. Inside Lucius's office, she presented a proposal for a brand-new project.

Lucius had intended to brush her off, but his expression shifted slightly as he read through it. "Did you really design this?"

Victoria nodded, speaking with brimming confidence. "As long as we invest in developing this new project, we can absolutely return to our peak performance."

That afternoon, Liliana gathered her composure and arrived at the corporate headquarters.

Losing Lightning Interactive didn't matter.

She already had a plan.

Walking into the CEO's office, she found Lucius buried in his work.

"Lucius, yesterday was my fault. I'm still too immature. I shouldn't have lost my temper at you and Leo!" she said, pasting a carefully crafted smile on her face.

Lucius felt a pang of guilt for not considering Liliana's feelings. After all, she had just lost the very capital she could have used as leverage to compete for family resources, and the psychological blow must have been immense.

Liliana walked up beside Lucius and gently held his hand.

Lucius lifted his gaze, somewhat surprised. Liliana's face held no trace of resentment toward him. With her usual spoiled temper, she would have thrown a fit for days.

"Liliana, you don't blame me?" Lucius's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Lucius, I don't blame you. Even though Madeline doesn't understand your struggles and did something so hurtful, I shouldn't leave you to face it alone. We can weather this storm together."

The domestic transition was also nearly complete. Silas Hayden transferred shares to Madeline. Following the transition, Silas only held 0.1 percent more of the domestic company than Madeline did. Silas provided her with connections, office space, technicians, and operational funding, while Madeline repaid him with the game's profits. It was a perfect win-win.

On the day Madeline returned from abroad, she received a call from Lucius. She had been working herself to the bone overseas—only work could make her forget the agonizing pain of her emotional turmoil—and only remembered his existence when the phone rang.

She realized that although they weren't divorced yet, the prenuptial agreement not only protected Lucius's assets but unexpectedly safeguarded hers as well. She didn't have to give him a single cent of her earnings.

Still, getting divorced was the better option.

So she answered the phone, intending to ask about the divorce papers.

Even though Lucius was probably calling to interrogate her.

Lucius's voice came through the line: "Leo's kindergarten starts tomorrow, and I have no idea what needs to be sorted out. Can you drop him off?"
