The Love Triangle Chapter 146
Madeline was stunned by his outburst.Gazing into Trevon's red-rimmed eyes, she realized he had indeed been out all night searching for her. The anger that had been sitting heavy in her heart began to melt away."I... I never thought you'd come after me."They fought, and it was only natural for Trevon to ignore her calls. However, fear had gripped her, and in a moment of spite, she had refused to reach out.Once she cooled down, she still did not call, convinced no one would bother looking for her. Who was there to call, anyway? It felt like she was the last person on earth.However, hearing that Trevon had spent the night searching for her thawed the chill in Madeline's heart a little more.She really was a little love-starved, was she not? Clinging to even the smallest gesture of warmth.With a self-deprecating chuckle, Madeline offered an apology. "I'm sorry. I lost my phone and had no idea you were out there looking for me. I'm sorry for worrying you."Trevon's expression

Rosie responded quickly, "She got a fright. I had someone take her to get some rest.""Let's go check on her," Trevon suggested as he stood up.They followed Rosie to where Jazzy was staying. Since she had been adopted, there was not a room for her, so they had set her up in a makeshift space in a small storeroom.Rosie opened the door to find Jazzy in the midst of changing.Jazzy let out a piercing scream and dove under the blankets, her face in sheer panic as she kept screaming. Madeline quickly shut the door, blocking Trevon and Daniel from entering. As Jazzy's screams filled the room, Madeline and Rosie locked eyes, each recognizing the heavy concern reflected back at them. "Jazzy."Rosie softly called out to her, trying to move closer, but Jazzy shoved her away. Madeline frowned with worry. She gently pulled Rosie aside and asked, "Jazzy, you up for some boba?" At the sound of Madeline's voice, Jazzy's crying began to subside. She cautiously poked her head out from

Madeline stepped out of Jazzy's room, her face etched with concern.At 13 years old, Jazzy had found a home with the Quigg family, leaving behind the minimal comforts of the orphanage. Life was tough, leaving her frail and slight.Three years with the Quiggs, though, and she had grown into her tall and elegant beauty.Jazzy confided that after her fifteenth birthday, Alden's looks turned dark, filled with something that made her skin crawl.Then, as a high school freshman, Alden, fueled by alcohol, crossed a line, and everything fell apart.She would beg, fight back, but Alden was relentless.It all blew up three months ago when Macie walked in on them. Alden played it cool, accusing Jazzy of coming onto him.Jazzy was defenseless against the lie.Macie did not hesitate to send her packing, threatening to revoke the adoption over her supposed misconduct.The truth was plain, but their hands were tied.Months had passed since that last encounter, and without evidence, holding

Realizing the phone had been picked up from the police station left Madeline in disbelief. "How did it get to the police station?"Daniel quickly filled her in on last night's drama."You mean, someone died yesterday on Green Jubilee Road?"A shiver of fear ran through Madeline. She was lucky that Bernard was there for her, decisively whisking her away to the safety of the orphanage. If not for him, she might have been the hostage in yesterday's ordeal.The thought of someone dying for her weighed heavily on Madeline's heart."Daniel, could you find out about the girl who died? I'd like to pray for her," Madeline whispered.Daniel nodded in agreement.Madeline, troubled, sent a quick text to Bernard before sinking into her chair in silence.Trevon, noticing her distress but also her diligence in updating others, felt a twist in his gut and let out a frustrated grunt.…Edith only learned of the close call at the orphanage after Madeline's phone call. She immediately had them

Tracy would not take a loss lying down. If only she had a way to fight it.To her, three million dollars was nothing.However, Lydia had backed Tracy into a corner at the Silver Leaf Studio, threatening her very life. She was caught between a rock and a hard place, forced to back down."I recall events like yesterday's auction always get plenty of press. Usually, they zero in on the auction itself and miss the fashion angle."Tracy squinted thoughtfully.Madeline suggested, "How about we buy a press release? Highlight all the designer outfits from the auction, especially Lydia's gown."Tracy got the hint and smirked. "A gown that's returned right after the show? It's like they're playing dress-up with no money to back it. I'm curious how the Sanders family will show their faces after this."It was a clever trap.Once the gown was the talk of the town, Cilix and Lydia would be forced to buy it back to maintain their dignity.They could not afford the hit to their reputation. No

Madeline first thought she was hearing things, but turning to Bella, she caught her mother's gaze, wavering and unfocused.Her eyes went wide, and in an instant, she was at Bella's side. "Mom, can you hear me? You're awake!"Madeline began sobbing, but in a heartbeat, Bella's focus faded, her eyes drifting shut once more."Mom?"Madeline's voice broke, calling out again and again, but Bella remained unresponsive.Desperate, she turned to Caleb. "Caleb?"Caleb frowned with concern as he tried to soothe her. "Let's not jump to conclusions. I'll get to the doctor."He hit the call button, summoning a nurse and asking for Bella's doctor. Then, with a stethoscope in hand, he began to assess Bella's condition, which seemed unchanged from before.Bella slipped back into a deep sleep, as if the earlier whisper of Madeline's name was nothing but a shared hallucination.The verdict from the head doctor echoed Caleb's own thoughts.Madeline gripped Bella's hand, struggling to accept tha

In Lydia's hospital room, Skylar was slicing apples for her daughter when her cellphone erupted with a series of dings.She set aside the knife and apple, checked her phone, and her expression soured.Lydia, savoring her apple, caught the shift in her mother's mood and asked, "What's the matter, Mom?"Skylar gripped her phone tightly, forcing a strained smile. "Oh, it's nothing. Just that investment I made tanked, that's all."Lydia rolled her eyes. "Mom, those investment schemes are nothing but scams. They prey on folks like you who aren't in the know. If you're serious about getting your finances in shape, I could hook you up with a financial planner. You pay him a cut for commission, and he'll handle your assets. It's all the rage overseas."Skylar dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "Please, my savings are hardly worth the fuss of hiring some finance guys, not to mention the fees. It's just not worth it."She locked her phone and swiftly steered the conversation elsew
