Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 95

The paternity test would take time, and it was obvious Liliana wasn't going anywhere. She was determined to wait until the Whitman family offered her a permanent position.

Honestly, Madeline felt almost nothing about her dramatic arrival; she was practically numb to it all.

She was exhausted and starving, so she simply sat down and began eating as if none of this chaos was happening.

Her only source of a headache was wondering why this circus was necessary when she was already demanding a divorce.

Deciding to feign blindness to the situation, she took bite after bite of her food.

Ever since Arthur ordered the butler to take Liliana's hair and Lucius's bloody towel, he had completely ignored the two of them. He resumed chatting with his old friends and eating his meal, setting the tone for the rest of the table, who watched his every move.

Millicent, a staunch believer in absolute patriarchal authority, didn't dare breathe a word of protest without her husband's cue.

As everyone casually dined, an incredibly thick layer of awkwardness settled over Liliana.

Despite being the CEO of the Whitman Group, Lucius was utterly powerless against his grandfather. A massive gash on his brow bone from the shattered porcelain was still bleeding profusely.

When a maid urged him to go to the hospital, he walked over to Madeline and stopped in his tracks.

This entire disaster was outside his calculations. He truly believed that after giving Liliana a massive payout, she would quietly return abroad.

She had already burned through millions of dollars of his money in record time.

Allowing her to stay as the company's worst-kept secret was a ticking time bomb. Lucius knew Arthur would eventually find out, so he had desperately tried to convince her to leave the country to protect his succession rights.
