Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 36

Madeline didn't find it easy at all. Her voice was raspy. “You mean, you want me to lie to Arthur Whitman and say the woman in the photo is me?”

Lucius's tone was extremely rational. “I honestly can't think of a better way. It's not just telling my grandfather; I need you to issue a statement to the media as well. That way, the public outcry will die down quickly. It's a win-win for the Whitman Group and everyone involved.”

Everyone?

Madeline's fingers subconsciously curled into a fist.

The most important person was Liliana, wasn't it?

Lucius was true to his word—he would always protect her, at all costs, for the rest of his life.

Because if this dragged on, Arthur would quickly find out that the woman who embroiled the Whitman CEO in a sex scandal was Liliana.

Arthur Whitman had fiercely opposed Lucius marrying Liliana back then. If he found out, he would definitely kick her out.

That was why Lucius was so tense.

“Fine.”

Madeline smiled, tears falling endlessly. “I'll help you guys.”

On the other end, Lucius felt a rush of joy, followed by a twinge of guilt.

His voice lost its usual chill and became somewhat gentler. “Maddy, you've been wronged in this. I've transferred some money to you as compensation. You can buy whatever you want.”

After hanging up, Madeline's phone pinged with a bank transfer notification.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions... Madeline counted the zeros. There were seven. Lucius had sent her millions of dollars.

One statement in exchange for millions of dollars—for Madeline, it was a good deal.

For Lucius, dropping the kind of cash he would easily throw away at an auction for Liliana just to keep the peace was equally worth it.

So, when Arthur had his butler call, Madeline answered perfectly.

Then, she opened her social media account. She had a few hundred followers, half of whom were Whitman relatives who had followed her after she joined the family group chats.

She typed out a few simple sentences.

[Thanks to the photographer for making me look so good. Hitting the bar is just a little marital fun between Lucius and me~]

The moment Madeline acted, Lucius immediately deployed the company's PR team to push the post.
