Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 83

Liliana was completely dumbfounded. Not only had Madeline usurped the spot by Lucius's side overnight, but she had actually ordered them to address her as Mrs. Whitman.

This was what truly sent Liliana spiraling into hysterics.

Liliana let out a shrill cry, weeping loudly, "I'm not a mistress! I'm not!"

Lucius was momentarily shocked before shooting a furious glare at the gossiping employees, silently ordering them to shut their mouths.

He took long strides toward Liliana, utterly uncaring that some shareholders were still lingering in the hallway.

Liliana threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face. "Lucius, I'm not a mistress. The one who isn't loved is the real interloper. Madeline is the actual mistress, right?"

Lucius nodded firmly. "Yes."

Gavin watched with a face full of confusion, internally roasting his boss. Liliana had tanked a publicly traded company and offered zero help when Lucius was facing the firing squad, yet he was wasting time bickering over this? Did they not have enough problems already?

He glanced sympathetically at Madeline, but she appeared completely unfazed, indifferently reviewing the press release.

It was as if she had expected this all along.

As long as her shares remained undiluted and she retained absolute control after the IPO, Lucius and Liliana could be as sickeningly affectionate as they pleased.

Stepping out of the Whitman Group tower, Madeline was just about to get into her car.

Liliana suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

She spat through gritted teeth, "Madeline, are you satisfied now?"

Madeline raised an eyebrow. "What exactly am I supposed to be satisfied about?"

She would only be truly satisfied once she had that divorce certificate in her hands.

Seeing Madeline's breezy indifference only fueled Liliana's fury. "Who do you think you are? Why are you acting like you don't care when this is exactly what you painstakingly schemed for?"

"Don't project your own pathetic mindset onto me," Madeline retorted flatly. "Am I the one scheming, or are you?"
