Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 94

Liliana held onto Leo, who didn't even spare Madeline a glance. He reached his little arms up to Liliana and whined, "Mommy, hold me."

Liliana had zero experience with kids and no desire to carry him, so she just smiled and ignored the request.

Feeling a bit rejected, Leo spotted Madeline standing nearby. He reached his arms out to her instead and said, "Miss Madeline, hold me."

Just a few days ago, when Leo had a terrible stomachache, Madeline had rushed him to the hospital in the middle of the night. Worried sick, she had sat on a cold metal bench outside the emergency room until 1:30 in the morning.

But now, the boy clearly understood that she was no longer his mother.

He changed his tune without a second thought.

The surrounding guests shot Madeline looks of deep pity and complex sympathy.

She had been running around since dawn to ensure the patriarch's birthday was flawless, only for her husband's mistress to parade a child around to publicly humiliate her.

And Lucius's first instinct was still to defend the mistress.

The most tragic part was the boy himself. Madeline had raised him and heard him call her 'Mom' for years, only for him to suddenly refer to her as just an 'Auntie.'

Lucius looked at Madeline, a flicker of guilt crossing his eyes.

He had never meant to subject her to such a public, devastating humiliation.

Madeline found that look of guilt incredibly absurd.

He felt no remorse while doing the deed, so why feel guilty now that the secret was out?

Lucius turned to Arthur and said, "There's no need for a paternity test. What Lily said is the truth."

Upon hearing this, a ruthless fury flashed across Arthur's face. He picked up his porcelain soup bowl and hurled it directly at Lucius.

With those hairs, she wasn't afraid of any test.

A sinister smirk formed on her lips.

The Whitmans were a powerful dynasty. Ever since Madeline's miscarriage, she hadn't been able to conceive. Liliana was convinced that her precise kick all those years ago had rendered the miserable woman barren for life.

She had reveled in that twisted victory for years.

As the future master of a top-tier billionaire family, Lucius absolutely needed an heir.

Now that she was standing here as the biological mother of his firstborn son, backed by Lucius's undeniable favoritism, Liliana was certain of her victory. Once the test confirmed the truth, the Whitmans would undoubtedly kick that barren, useless Madeline out of the family, paving the way for a true heiress like herself to marry Lucius. She was the only one worthy of him.

The butler collected the hair, walked over to take the blood-soaked towel Lucius was using, and briskly carried Leo away from the banquet hall.
