Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 7

Now Madeline realized that since the child had been planted in their home by Liliana, Liliana had likely been brainwashing him in secret, which was why he was so rebellious at such a young age.

Since that was the case, why was she still holding on? He had nothing to do with her anyway.

Madeline nodded. "Fine, as long as you sign this document."

She found the prominent folder on the nightstand. She had been gone for days and had specifically told Lucius to read it before she left, but based on the way the string was tied, Lucius clearly hadn't even opened it.

No matter how important the things she told him were, Lucius only ever ignored them. After all, his default attitude toward Madeline had always been complete indifference.

Madeline picked up the folder and handed it to Lucius.

Just as Lucius was about to open it, Liliana's voice drifted from the doorway. "Lucius, is Madeline still angry? Should I come in and explain?"

"No need." Lucius casually tossed the document aside.

He comforted Liliana, "It's fine, Liliana, we're coming out right now."

Madeline picked up the divorce agreement, ready to hand it back to Lucius.

But Lucius said, "We'll talk after dinner."

Madeline had zero appetite, but it seemed she had to sit through it; otherwise, he wouldn't sign.

She would have to tolerate this for a bit just to see exactly what Liliana was trying to pull.

Lucius led Madeline over, pulled out her chair, and pressed her into the seat.

He then instructed the housekeeper, "Mrs. Miller, bring another plate and silverware."

Madeline really didn't feel like eating.

Liliana took the initiative to speak. "Madeline, I just got back from overseas. It's been a while, so I brought you a welcome gift."

Madeline looked up and noticed Liliana casually tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, deliberately showing off an incredibly brilliant diamond earring.

Madeline immediately recognized the jewelry.

She had loved that design for a long time. When it finally went to auction, Lucius had promised he would win it and give it to her.
