Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 40

Madeline quickly realized that Lucius had gone to the Maldives on vacation with Liliana.

Since Lucius wasn't around, this might be her best chance to process her resignation. Lucius had been stalling, trying to coerce her into doing the grunt work so Liliana could take the credit. Liliana wouldn't have to lift a finger—she just needed Madeline to work tirelessly, and Lucius would graft all that success onto Liliana, giving her a solid track record.

Lucius wanting to demote Madeline to Deputy Engineer was all part of this scheme, but Madeline was done serving them.

Madeline went to the company the very next day.

Seeing Madeline sitting back at her desk, Victoria Holloway gritted her teeth in hatred.

“Mrs. Whitman already said she wouldn't keep you here. What are you doing back? Is this your desk? Sit, sit, sit. Do you not know you've been fired?”

As she spoke, Victoria knocked over a watered communal potted plant right onto Madeline's desk.

The muddy water instantly soaked her laptop, ruining it.

Madeline immediately stood up. That laptop had been with her for eight years.

She had carefully picked it out and bought it on her very first day of work, perfectly capturing her mood on the day she first met Lucius.

She always felt that her hopes for her career were just as important as her hopes for a family.

But now, her career had collapsed, her achievements harvested by Liliana, and her family destroyed by Liliana as well.

Liliana even left behind a willing little lackey to cause trouble for her.

Madeline calmly wiped the desk with some tissues while saying, “I'll say it again: I want my resignation slip.”

Victoria scoffed. “Cut the act. Everyone knows you're the cancer of this company. If you leave, nowhere else will take you. You're just deliberately clinging on to leech off the benefits. You're broke and morally bankrupt. I never thought anyone could be as pathetic as you.”
