Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 103

The moment Madeline said she wanted a divorce, the entire room fell into a stunned silence.

Even the melodramatic, sobbing Liliana abruptly stopped making noise.

Liliana never could have imagined that this was what Madeline wanted. No one could. Given Madeline's background, where did she get the nerve to demand a divorce from the Whitman family?

Lucius was hit the hardest. Ignoring the fact that Arthur hadn't even responded yet, he blurted out, "Maddy, I know I've wronged you, but I've already agreed to send the child and Lily away! Are you really asking me for a divorce in front of all our elders?"

Madeline's expression remained utterly devoid of joy or sorrow.

Listening to Lucius, it sounded as though sending his mistress out of the country was the ultimate act of benevolence, and if she held onto her grievances, she was simply being ungrateful.

But she didn't see it that way at all. She had been waiting for this exact opportunity. Just as Liliana had been waiting for the chance to force her way up, Madeline had been waiting for the chance to step down.

Now that his affair with Liliana had been dragged into the spotlight, this title of 'Mrs. Whitman' was dead in the water. She had zero desire to bear the humiliation of wearing a metaphorical green hat. Enduring the pain with no end in sight and suffering insults for nothing wasn't her style. It was far better to walk away clean and justified.

She was completely done dealing with Lucius and Liliana.

Madeline nodded. "Let's get a divorce, Lucius."

She let out a slow, steady breath. There was a mountain of unspoken words weighing on her chest, and it was finally time to let them out.

Her voice was perfectly clear. "I gave you eight years of my life, and I think we've reached the end of the line. When I was seven months pregnant, you stood by and let Liliana kick me until I lost our baby, and then you forged my signature on that Legal Waiver of Liability. I was utterly heartbroken and in agony. I should have realized right then and there that you never had any feelings for me."
