The Love Triangle Chapter 187
Madeline was silent during the car ride to the company, the sting of Riley's impulsive words still fresh.For three years, she had done her best as a daughter-in-law. However, when Lydia's pregnancy came to light, Riley did not hesitate to push for Trevon to divorce her.It seemed a daughter-in-law was just an outsider, easily exchanged.Trevon cut off that line of thinking immediately."Mom, what nonsense are you spouting?! The incident just happened. If I divorce Madeline now, wouldn't it turn the Gibson family into a joke? The shareholders would be up in arms!"His refusal was firm, but his motives were all for the Gibson Group.Their relationship had thawed in recent days, and Madeline sensed Trevon's reluctance to part ways. She was torn about whether to push for the divorce.However, when Trevon mentioned the Gibson Group could not afford a divorce, she snapped back to reality.Madeline could not bear a lifetime with a man who did not love her.It was too bitter a pill,

It took a moment for the weight of Tracy's words to sink in.Bernadette was 16 and savvy. Having been raised by the Lewis family, innocence was not her thing anymore.Understanding that Jazzy was Alden's adopted daughter brought a lot of things into focus, including the air of despair that seemed to cling to Jazzy from the start.She felt foolish for ever thinking Jazzy was just naturally gloomy."With dad... with that man in jail, what's going to happen to Jazzy?" Bernadette asked with concerned.Tracy's heart warmed at the question. Her daughter had not picked up any of the Quigg family's less admirable traits, after all."Alden's in jail, so the adoption's not valid anymore. I'm thinking of adopting her myself. Are you okay with that?" Tracy proposed.Bernadette nodded, her response firm and immediate.Later, when they shared the news with Jazzy, she was utterly taken aback.They were not upset with her. Instead, they wanted to make her part of their family.Jazzy felt a s

Trevon's mood soured instantly at the sight of the pair.Lydia sat quietly next to Riley and whispered, "Trevon."Riley beamed, "Today's a day for triple celebrations, and we've got to mark the occasion. If you're not up for a home-cooked meal, I've booked us a table at Luxuria Supper House."Triple celebrations? What was there to celebrate?Trevon let out a derisive laugh, "Embezzlement and sham fundraisers in the company. What's there to celebrate about such things?"Riley's smile did not waver. "You're too blunt, son. Is the scam what matters? No, it's about putting the second wife in her place. Plus, I want to give Lydia a treat."Trevon felt a headache brewing. Not even the ruthless business world gave him such trouble.He loosened his tie and dismissed them with a frosty command. "The company's swamped, so you should head out."He turned to Lydia and added, "I meant what I said. Think about it."Lydia's complexion paled, and she looked away, unable to meet Trevon's gaze.

"So, what's the plan for the missing fifteen million dollars?" Madeline questioned.Riley's complexion turned a shade paler. "More than fifteen million dollars? You think you deserve it? Three years and nothing to show for it, yet you dare bring up money?"Madeline responded with a crisp edge to her voice, "Why should I feel ashamed? Mom, you haven't produced anything for decades, but that hasn't stopped you from spending, has it?"Daniel nearly burst out laughing at the exchange. 'Mrs. Gibson is truly his absolute favorite!' he mused.Riley's face contorted with rage. "Are you out of your mind? How dare you talk back to me like that?!"Madeline cocked her head."Am I wrong? Isn't that your own logic, Mother dearest? Well, it's not quite right since you're off on the timing. I'm curious, how much did you spend each month before you had Trevon?" Madeline asked earnestly.Daniel chimed in, "Mrs. Gibson, that's not a fair comparison. The value of money was a hundredfold what it is

Madeline's eyes clung to him a moment longer before she turned away, her voice shaky. "W-why did you take off your top instead?"Trevon saw the hint of red on her ears and raised an eyebrow. He let his pants drop to the floor and stepped behind her, his voice low and husky in her ear. "How was I to know you'd be so eager?" His breath tickled her ear, sending her heart into a flutter. Instinctively, Madeline turned her head, trying to dodge him. Trevon, however, wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close as if to hug her. Goosebumps spread across Madeline's skin, and she tried to slap him without a second thought. Trevon caught her hand and drew it to him. His other hand snaked around her waist, drawing her into his embrace. "What's the matter?" he asked. The heat from his hand on her waist felt like a burning flame, and Madeline squirmed to get free. However, she was trapped, their bodies pressed together, and any movement from her only intensified the contact with Trevon,

The mention of dinner made Daniel nearly lose it. He glanced at the pile of paperwork on his desk. Were they not swamped with work for the day, with no time for breaks?Daniel had been cracking the whip, getting everyone to pull together the reports, all set for a night of overtime.Then, the boss decided to call it quits at seven. Where was the fairness in that?Trevon's brow creased just a bit. "If you're up for overtime, I won't stop you."To Trevon, it was just a matter of finding another driver.Daniel masked his irritation. "Mr. Gibson, any preference for where we eat? I'll book us a spot."Trevon fiddled with his tie, which felt like a noose. "Madeline, fix this for me, will you?"Madeline, mid-rant to Yeneth on her phone, got up with a huff. "Why bother with a tie after hours?"Trevon quirked an eyebrow. "Then, help me get it off. Dinner's on me."That was what saved him from a Madeline-style execution.Daniel chimed in quickly, "Mrs. Gibson, what are you in the mood

"Did York take it well?" Madeline inquired.Yeneth could not help but smirk as she showed Madeline the text from York.[You're breaking up with me because I asked you to look after my grandfather? That's who you are? Alright, then. Enough drama, just get to the hospital and help my mom after work.][Yeneth, what's this? Are we really done?][Done is done. Let me tell you, living together is no different from a second marriage in my book. Don't even think about coming back to me!][Mom says if you can't be bothered to help, then at least cough up some cash. Pay for my grandfather's medical bills, and all is forgiven. You'll still have a shot with the Lawsons.]Madeline looked confused. "Are the Lawsons loaded or something?"Yeneth just scoffed.They had been close to tying the knot, so of course, she had been to York's place.The Lawsons were just a typical family out in the sticks. The only thing they had going for them was that York had made it to college.Madeline wondered
The Love Triangle Chapter 194
Madeline was too slow to stop him.She was not serious about following the streamer. It was all for a laugh, to lighten Yeneth's mood.However, Trevon had overreacted."Hand it over," Madeline demanded.Trevon gave her a look. "So you can spend my money on tips? Do I look like a sucker?"Madeline was taken aback. "Your money? That's mine," she shot back.Trevon scoffed and turned to Yeneth. "You waste time on this at work?"He called out to Daniel. "Daniel, tell Camden to crack down on discipline at Skylandia. No more phones on the clock. About that overtime schedule he mentioned? I'm on board."Yeneth and Madeline were speechless as they exchanged looks. Yeneth looked desperately at Madeline, silently pleading for her to intervene.However, before Madeline could say a word, Trevon cut in. "Thinking of joining the Skylandia project?"Madeline bit her lip and stayed quiet.All the way to the Luxuria Supper House, Yeneth begged Trevon to reconsider his decision. However, Trevo
