The Love Triangle Chapter 167
Caught up in her conversation with Jazzy, Madeline had completely forgotten about Bernard's request for her to draw.It was not until Bernard's voice broke through her thoughts that she snapped back to reality.There was no way she could draw at that moment.Her purpose in coming there was to take Jazzy out for a meal, to offer a little light in the girl's life.Madeline knew all too well the taste of hardship and the weight of despair, and it pained her to see Jazzy, so young, wrestling with life's cruel consequences.She longed to wrap Jazzy in a little more warmth, to shield her from the world's harshness.They had barely stepped outside when a sleek car pulled up to the orphanage's entrance. Madeline's heart skipped a beat, thinking the Quiggs had actually shown up, and she instinctively shielded Jazzy.However, it was not the Quiggs who emerged from the car, instead, a young man with delicate features stepped out.He caught sight of them and arched an eyebrow, "Bernard, Ja
The Love Triangle Chapter 168
Madeline aimed the question at Bernard. There seemed to be some bad blood between him and Cooper.Bernard frowned in concern.He knew Cooper had a certain charm that many girls found appealing. Did Madeline fall for that charm too?He turned to her and replied seriously, "He's bad news, Maddie. Keep your distance."Madeline could not help but chuckle. "I haven't even been near the guy."However, the thought of him with Yanely, and the way Yanely was acting, left her with an uneasy feeling.Bernard's gaze turned icy as he watched Madeline relax around Cooper. "He's nothing but a smooth-talking con artist. You don't need to bother with him."Madeline raised her eyebrows. Her curiosity piqued, but Bernard clammed up, leaving her questions hanging.She shrugged it off. Trevon was the one who should be sweating bullets anyway.…Mid-bite into her dinner, Madeline's phone buzzed with a call from Tracy."Just sold that dress for 4.5 million to the Sanders family.

The Love Triangle Chapter 169
Madeline did not reveal everything about Jazzy to Tracy, only that there were some family issues making it tough for her to stay at home, so she was on the hunt for a temporary place to live.Jazzy had a knack for painting and fashion design, which led her to Tracy's doorstep.Tracy did not pry and quickly made the arrangements.Madeline let out a sigh of relief. If Tracy had dug deeper, she was not sure what she would have said.The whole situation with Tracy and Quigg family was a bit of a mystery to Madeline. She did not think Tracy harbored any old flames for Alden, but in matters like those, she never really knew.The decision she had made was a bit of a leap.However, it was not without its perks. The Quigg folks would not dare come looking for trouble on Tracy's territory.Before Madeline left, she gave Jazzy a serious look and reminded her to avoid talking about the orphanage to avoid stirring up any unwanted drama.Jazzy nodded with determination. "Got it, Maddie."He

Madeline blinked in surprise. Trevon had not eaten yet?It was already eight at night. Why had he not had his dinner?Could he actually be waiting for her? Was he really that considerate?Questions swirled in Madeline's head, but before she could voice them, Trevon's icy tone cut through. "Who'd wait this late? She doesn't need anyone fussing over her. Just get the dinner on the table."Madeline was left speechless.Daniel adjusted his glasses with a hint of helplessness. "Mrs. Gibson, don't be upset. Mr. Gibson's had a long day and he's just exhausted. I've been on his case to eat, but he insisted on waiting for you. If you haven't had a bite yet, why not come to the hospital and we can eat together?"Trevon sternly warned, "Daniel, that's enough."Madeline felt a pang of guilt knowing he had waited for her, but Trevon's sharp comment made her laugh at herself.She was not Lydia, after all. Why would Trevon wait for her?She responded calmly, "I've had my dinner. Could you lo

Madeline gave him a puzzled look.Trevon just stared back, stone-faced, and remained silent."Mr. Gibson?"He snapped out of it and gave her a piercing look, "You're just playing secretary at the company, you're not really working under me."Madeline was taken aback."Don't call me Mr. Gibson, " Trevon added.If he was not Trevon, such talk would have landed him in trouble in the real world."So, what should I call you if not Mr. Gibson? Boss?"Trevon glowered, his teeth clenched. "Just use my name!"Madeline could not help but chuckle. "Okay, okay. Trevon it is. Ready for your medicine?"Trevon stayed quiet as he turned over and got himself ready on the bed.Madeline bit her lip and started with the medicine. As she reached to lower his pants, Trevon's hand shot out, gripping the waistband tightly.Madeline tugged at the fabric, but it would not budge. She let out a sigh."Mr. Gibson—"Before she could finish, Trevon shot her a look that could freeze lava.She quickly c
The Love Triangle Chapter 172
The little girl was doing well at Tracy's. Engaging with her passions had brightened her demeanor.Jazzy had even struck up a friendship with Bernadette.Initially, Bernadette was just trying to learn about Bernard's likes through Jazzy. However, as time went on, the girls, close in age, naturally bonded.Jazzy's smile had grown wider, and even Bernadette seemed to lighten up a little.Tracy could not resist telling Madeline, "I'm so glad you brought her here."Madeline was feeling a bit anxious.She had not been upfront about Jazzy's background, and she was worried about the reaction if Tracy and Bernadette found out that Jazzy was Alden's foster child.Was she doing the right thing? Jazzy was in a tough spot, and Madeline just wanted to help.However, Tracy's next comment eased her worries."What a shame for such a sweet girl to be wasted as Alden's foster child."Madeline was taken aback. "Tracy, you knew?"Tracy shot her a knowing glance. "You think I'd let some mystery

Jazzy's voice quivered. "Maddie isn't like that."Alden scoffed. "Really?"His laugh was icy, tinged with a smugness that suggested he knew more than he let on."The Quiggs can't compare to the Gibsons. If the Gibsons wanted to adopt you, we Quiggs wouldn't have a say. Did Madeline ever bring this up? I didn't think so. I'm telling you, these people are just putting on an act. Deep down, they probably can't stand you. Only I truly care for you."The moment I laid eyes on you, I was smitten. You must've been my sweetheart in another life. How else could I feel such a strong desire to love you?"Jazzy's mind raced to a dark memory, her body shaking uncontrollably as tears streamed down unchecked.Silent in her anguish, she was the picture of vulnerability.Madeline could not stand by any longer and pulled Jazzy into her arms.She stayed quiet, not wanting to tip off Alden. If he got wind of their plan and destroyed the evidence, they would lose their chance to make him pay for hi

"The second file details years of the Quigg Group's tax dodges and fraud."The Quigg family struggled to keep it clean, especially with the Lewis family breathing down their necks, so they had taken some shady detours.Madeline could not make sense of it.However, she noticed a flicker of concern cross Trevon's face."Why would Qasim even think of teaming up with the Quiggs? They can't proceed with that villa project without a large cash flow."Was the Gibson Group really expected to cover the whole tab?He could not fathom why Qasim would team up with the Quiggs.Daniel gestured to the third file."The Quiggs have been in cahoots with numerous businesses, exploiting organizations like orphanages to pull off a massive fundraising scam. The total funds are just shy of a hundred and fifty million dollars, all invested back into their own companies.With that kind of cash, plus what the Gibson Group brings to the table, they'd have more than enough to keep things running."Trevo
