From His Invisible Wife to the World's Icon novel Chapter 85

A bone-deep chill washed over Lydia as Madeline clung to her arm. Madeline glared at Arthur with unbridled fury. "Lydia is your daughter too! If you don't care about her, fine, but how dare you help your other daughter destroy her!"

"Keep dreaming!"

Madeline threw the document back at Arthur.

The will fluttered to the floor.

"I suggest you take the easy way out before things get ugly." Arthur's expression didn't change; there wasn't an ounce of remorse in him. With a single command, men in dark suits filed into the room with intimidating precision. "Even if I have to take it by force today, that evidence is coming with me."

"You—!"

Julian instantly pulled out his phone to call the police.

In the blink of an eye, a bodyguard snatched the phone away and shoved Julian roughly to the floor.

Lydia rushed to help Julian up. Her gaze lifted, colliding with Frederick's apathetic stare, and a surge of bitter resentment flared in her chest.

Seeing her mother collapse back onto the sofa, gasping for air and clutching her chest, Lydia shot a lethal glare at Arthur. "I'll give you the evidence."

"That's my girl. I didn't want to see you get hurt anyway. Your sister just made a foolish mistake. As her older sister, you should be more forgiving."

"Sister?" Lydia let out a cold, mocking laugh. "I'm exactly one month older than her."

"You started sleeping with Cecilia the second my mom got pregnant!"

"Don't try to use 'sisterhood' to disgust me."

Arthur's face turned a livid shade of purple as he held out his hand. "Hand over the drive. I'll notarize the will tomorrow."

"Lydia, don't give it to him!" Madeline tried to scream for the neighbors, but a bodyguard immediately clamped a hand over her mouth.

Lydia shoved the man away, shielding her mother. "I don't care about your money," she stated coldly. "But you will return my mother's pharmaceutical patent!"

Madeline froze.

Her daughter was using her own trauma to demand justice for a twenty-four-year-old betrayal.

"Well..." Arthur hesitated.

A notarized will could be overwritten by a new one at any time.
