The Love Triangle Chapter 133
Trevon rushed to the hospital.Lydia, who had checked out to attend an auction, had collapsed and was then back in the emergency room. Her voice cracked through the phone, begging him to save her, though she left out the details.Trevon could not shake the worry, so he showed up.In the hospital room, Lydia was crying into her blanket—a heartbreaking sight.When Trevon walked in, she was stunned. "Trevon? Is it really you?"Ignoring the IV in her arm, she slipped out of bed, barefoot, and ran straight into his arms. "Trevon, it's really you! I thought you gave up on me too."Trevon tensed for a moment but quickly embraced her, gently guiding her back to bed.After getting the nurse to fix her IV, he soothed Lydia's worries.Lydia clung to him. "Dad's furious about the fake painting I bought. He's threatening to throw me out. Trevon, do you think he'd really do it?"Trevon could not hide his contempt for Cilix's reaction.All that over a painting? To say such things to his own

A bone-deep chill seized Trevon. His blood turned to ice, and his grip on the phone became rigid, almost paralyzed.After what felt like an eternity, he croaked out, "Why do you have Madeline's phone?""Madeline? Is that the owner's name?""I'm asking you, how did you get this phone?!" Trevon's voice thundered, startling the person on the other end."The phone was found on Green Jubilee Road. If you know the owner, you should come to the police station to claim it."Trevon's heart skipped a beat. "What are you saying? What do you mean it was found on Green Jubilee Road? Explain yourself."However, it was too late. The person had already hung up, rattled by Trevon's outburst.Staring at the disconnected call, Trevon's hand began to shake uncontrollably. He steadied it with his other hand and murmured, "Let's head to the police station."Daniel was just as panicked. The news report, the urgent voice on the call, and Trevon's look of dread—all signs pointed to trouble brewing.Da

"Ahh!"Madeline bolted upright in bed.In her nightmare, a shadowy figure in black chased her, and she could not shake him off no matter how fast she ran. Then, she stumbled, and the figure drove a dagger down toward her with a cruel smirk.The fear was still coiled inside her.Madeline rubbed her temples, trying to steady her pounding heart. The room brightened as the light flicked on. Bernard stood in the doorway, his face a mask of calm concern as he asked softly, "Maddie, you good?"Blinking away the sleep, Madeline smiled feebly. "I'm okay. It was just a nightmare."Bernard smiled slightly before he got her a cup of hot water."Thanks," she murmured.Bernard gave a weary shake of his head and settled onto a nearby stool, staying silent.Madeline took a sip of water. She sighed in relief and eased back against the headboard.Madeline was being followed, but Bernard had swiftly yanked her into a shadowy nook, narrowly dodging trouble.The distant wail of a police sire
The Love Triangle Chapter 136
Perched high in the tree, the girl's face was a blank mask. Her arms were outstretched like fractured wings, poised as though she might dive down at any moment.She appeared to be 16 or 17 years old, yet her eyes showed hopelessness. What had driven her to such depths of despair?Madeline had no time for such thoughts and called out to the girl. "Hey, there. Do you know where I can grab a bite to eat?"The girl looked down slowly, pointing in a direction.Madeline smiled brightly. "Mind showing me the way?"The girl paused before replying, "If I do, could you treat me to some boba?"Madeline's smile widened. "Absolutely."With swift grace, the girl descended from the tree. "Come on."Their walk was silent, Madeline keeping pace without urgency. By the time they reached the breakfast vendor, there were not many options left.Madeline got herself an oatmeal and offered the girl a bun.She shook her head. "I'd rather have boba."Madeline pressed the bun into her hand. "No worri

Jazzy was escorted into the office.Madeline had pieced together the story from the chatty doorman.The orphanage was filled mostly with kids without families. However, Jazzy's story was even more heart-wrenching.She was kidnapped at three years old, and probably since she was a girl, she was not sold.She spent her days begging on the streets until the police found her. Back then, beggars like her were part of a grim operation, forced to give up most of their earnings, keeping just enough to survive.Jazzy was sharp. She worked her corner well and never skimmed off the top, which meant she grew up with little trouble.She was unlike some of the other kids they found, many of whom were maimed.Too young to find her real parents, Jazzy ended up at the orphanage.The head of the home, touched by her tough start in life, was determined to find her a loving adoptive family. That was how she landed with the Quigg family.The Quiggs had it good, and Jazzy seemingly did too, for a w

"The thing I can't stand the most is your act, playing the delicate, tempting vixen. Seducing anyone is bad enough, but your own father? That's low." Jazzy, clutching her cheek, stayed silent. Rosie Lynch's heart went out to her. "Mrs. Quigg, she's just a kid. How could you hit her?" Macie Williams let out a harsh laugh. "She's nothing but trash. She had it coming." Jazzy's face grew paler, her eyes reddened, and her lips were pursed.Rosie tried to comfort her, worried Macie might harm her, but Jazzy would not budge.Madeline moved in, took Jazzy by the shoulders, and returned her boba. "Take a sip. It'll help wash away the bitterness."Jazzy's hand shook as she slowly brought the straw to her lips.Madeline turned to face Macie, decked out in her Burberry coat and clutching a petite Hermès croc bag—the epitome of luxury.She was in her thirties—strikingly beautiful and oddly familiar.Madeline asked, "Mrs. Quigg, you claim you caught her in bed with your husband. Is tha

Macie yanked Jazzy forward and tilted her face upward. "Take a good look at this little temptress. Sixteen, and already a pro at seduction. This..."She went on, and shockingly, she started to rip the clothes from Jazzy's body. Jazzy, who had been stoic, suddenly looked mortified, holding onto her clothes desperately to stop Macie.However, she was no match for Macie's strength, and her clothes were torn open, revealing her pale skin."Ah!"A shrill scream cut through the air as she lunged at Macie without a second thought.Macie winced from the pain and instinctively slapped Jazzy back."Grab her, quick!" Madeline yelled.Rosie snapped to attention and wrapped her arms around Macie. With a little help, they finally subdued her. Trying to stay composed, Madeline straightened Jazzy's clothes.Blaine let out a derisive snort."I never pegged you for a troublemaker, but you've proven me wrong. Striking Mrs. Quigg right in front of us? You've clearly been getting around with no

Before anyone could react, Madeline had hurled her half-finished boba at Macie and yelled, "Zip it! Let another foul word slip, and I'll be happy to wash out your mouth for you."Madeline's reflexes were lightning-fast, catching the onlookers off guard.The boba, full of tapioca pearls, jelly and gummy bears, splattered all over Macie, leaving a colorful mess. Her once polite demeanor was then nowhere to be seen. The crowd was petrified, none more so than Jazzy, who was too stunned to even shed a tear, just gawking at Madeline.Trevon's grin widened, and he casually said to Daniel, "Go get us some boba, will you?"Daniel stood still and thought, 'Mr. Gibson, you sure aren't the man you used to be.'Trevon would have just chewed Madeline out for causing trouble. However, he seemed genuinely worried she would miss out on having the rest of her boba.Could he have also been afraid that Madeline's temper might flare up even more without her boba?No matter what was going through T
