Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 34

Hearing Victoria mention her boss, Madeline turned her head to look.

In the center of the booth was Lucius's sharply defined, handsome face.

Under the swaying, neon lights of the bar, he was clearly visible.

His aura was incredibly prominent—elegant, gentlemanly, and refined.

In his arms, he held a woman in a red dress, looking absolutely stunning.

The man, usually known for his calm restraint, had eyes brimming with indulgence and tenderness.

Following Madeline's gaze, Tessa's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes. “Is that woman Lucius's little childhood sweetheart?”

“Yeah.” Madeline downed the drink in her glass, the taste entirely bitter.

Tessa looked like her worldview had been shattered. “Even if you two get divorced, isn't there still a cooling-off period? And they're just blatantly cuddling in public?”

Madeline didn't speak. Suddenly, Liliana propped herself up and leaned in to kiss Lucius on the lips.

Lucius instinctively lowered his head to respond, wrapping his arm around her waist.

What a perfect pair of childhood sweethearts.

“Wow!”

“Even heroes fall for beauties!”

“Our boss is the most aloof CEO in the Whitman Group, and today he's finally been conquered for the very first time!”

...

A few older colleagues Madeline recognized—the ones who always mocked her behind her back for not being able to find a husband—were cheering excitedly.

Tessa abruptly stood up.

Madeline quickly grabbed her to stop her. “Don't go over there.”
