So, claiming he didn't want to be like his father was just an excuse he used to cover up his complete lack of physical attraction to Liliana.
However, Liliana already felt immensely humiliated. She had assumed that by driving Madeline out, Lucius's intense sexual needs could only be satisfied by her.
She never expected that Lucius would still only want Madeline, rather than her.
For a woman, this was the ultimate degradation.
She had knelt at his feet and unbuckled his belt, yet he would rather use his own hand than touch her.
What woman could endure that kind of rejection?
It felt worse than dying.
What hurt even more was realizing that the only reason he had rushed upstairs so eagerly was because he thought she was Madeline.
Liliana gritted her teeth in sheer hatred.
She narrowed her eyes. "Lucius, I know you don't want to be like your father, but... you might be staying physically faithful to Madeline, but that doesn't mean she's doing the same for you."
Lucius's expression darkened instantly. "She wouldn't do that. I know her."
"She only looks innocent on the outside," Liliana sneered, "but she's nothing of the sort. She schemed her way into your line of sight back then; there's no way she's pure. Lucius, didn't you hear those massive rumors going around school? Everyone said Madeline was having a student-teacher affair with Silas. They called her his academic pet, saying there was no other way she could have gotten that state-funded scholarship quota."
Lucius frowned slightly.
But then he suddenly remembered that Madeline had been a virgin when they got married.
"Lily, I believe they are innocent," Lucius said.
"You believe that? You've definitely been fooled. Lucius, nowadays, it's effortless for any hospital to fake that kind of thing.
