The Love Triangle Chapter 290
The Sanders family walked in to find Edith, the picture of calm, seated on the sofa.Cilix let out a relieved breath. With Edith there, today's issues seemed more manageable.He was the first to greet her. "Madam Gibson."Edith nodded, motioning for them to sit. Her eyes settled on Lydia. "I heard you got out of the hospital yesterday. Tough of you to come see me today."Lydia blanched, her lips quivering, at a loss for words. Edith did not press her, simply gesturing for her to take a seat. Once Felicia had served everyone coffee, she took her place behind the old lady, standing still.Edith let them sip their coffee in silence, making no move to break it. Cilix and the others shared a look, finally giving Lydia a silent, encouraging glance.Lydia's eyes brimmed with tears as she hung her head, her body sagging. "Grandma, I'm so sorry," she whispered.Edith's brow creased with concern. "What's this all about, Lydia? Come on, sit up straight."She reached out to steady Lydia, b

Felicia's heart skipped a beat. What was Edith getting at? She could not possibly be caving to the Sanders family's demands, could she?The Sanders family was secretly thrilled, their faces barely containing their glee. Cilix, though, was a rock, his gaze steady and silent. However, Edith took a sharp turn. "However, I can't agree to your demands."The smile on Lydia's face seized up as she stared at Edith in disbelief. "Grandma...""Hold it right there," Edith interrupted, her hand raised. "I'm not fit to be called 'grandma' by you."Lydia's face paled, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.Edith's voice was firm. "Save your tears. Did you think I've gone soft in my old age?"Back when Trevon had his accident, Edith had turned to the tarot cards for some hope. She was desperate then, with nowhere else to turn, she put all her hopes on that reading. She had hoped, given Trevon and Lydia's close relationship and their time together, that Lydia would agree to join

At last, they were on topic.Edith smiled. "So, what's your price?"Two million dollars and a mansion would not satisfy the Sanders family's hunger.Cilix's face soured as Edith looked like she had already guessed their plan."Why the harsh words? We're practically family, Madam Gibson."I didn't come to shake down the Gibsons for cash today. I just have a question for you."Skylar gave him a sharp nudge, clearly annoyed. They had agreed on getting the Gibsons to cough up some dough. Why the sudden change of heart? No money? That would be a huge loss for them.Cilix pulled back slightly, paying no mind to Skylar.Edith gave a soft laugh, acting as if she had not noticed their little spat, and said, "Speak your piece."Cilix's voice was heavy with seriousness, "As you know, the Sanders Corporation is about to hit the stock market, and every investment counts."Lydia had a miscarriage just yesterday, and Cranford Company pulled their funding from Sanders Corporation. Doesn't th

The Sanders family had no choice but to take Edith's forceful statement on the chin."Alright. Get Madeline here tomorrow, and we'll get that contract signed."Edith agreed with a nod, her eyes flicking to Lydia with a barely noticeable frostiness. "You're a good kid, Lydia, and you've got your whole life ahead of you. Always look ahead. Young folks shouldn't get hung up on romance. Get out and explore. The world's huge, and there's no end to what you can chase after."Lydia just listened, her face etched with a touch of skepticism. Edith let out a quiet sigh, leaving it at that. Some people just would not listen to reason, no matter how much she tried.Once Cilix had gotten what he came for, he was quick to suggest they head out.Felicia escorted them out, but when she came back, she was clearly irked. "That Skylar, I swear..."She might have looked the part of a high-society lady, but her words were anything but classy - She had the nerve to say things like "Trevon's all fun an

As he looked closer, a sense of familiarity washed over him. With twin ponytails and a pink princess dress, she could be the spitting image of the little girl from his memories.He paused, a flicker of recognition crossing his face. The same hometown in Jasperia, the same features, the same likes—could it be? But no, he dismissed the thought as quickly as it came. Lydia's recollection of that meeting was vivid, there was no room for error.The two were sisters by blood but not by birth, their shared father the only common thread in their divergent lives. As kids, their striking resemblance was something of an oddity.Trevon shook off his reverie, his gaze settling on the series of photographs spread before him.Stepping out of the airport, Stephen caught a glimpse of a figure eerily similar to Trevon. He blinked, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him.With the scandal of Lydia's miscarriage blowing up, why hadn't he stayed back to deal with it? Instead, he had flown a

Before Madeline could even pack up to leave Oralia, her phone buzzed with a call from Edith."Madeline, Felicia whipped up some chicken soup. How about coming over and having dinner with me?"Her voice was soft, no hint of blame for Lydia's unfortunate miscarriage.Madeline knew Edith to be a reasonable soul and quickly accepted the invitation. After all, it was high time she paid Edith a visit.Edith's first look at Madeline was filled with concern. "You've gotten so thin."The early stages of pregnancy had been rough on Madeline's appetite, but that was not something she wanted to delve into with Edith."The seasons are changing, and my appetite's been off," she said. Edith gave her a knowing look. "You girls and your dieting, you think I'm clueless? Take it from me, those slim waists and stick-thin legs aren't what make a girl healthy. A little meat on the bones, that's what counts."Madeline chuckled. "Grandma, I'm impressed you know about modern beauty standards.""Well,

Somehow, Bella found a strength that made her unstoppable, even for three or four nurses.Madeline hurried over and grabbed her. "Mom! Mom, it's nighttime, we can search for him tomorrow. Let's go home now, okay?""Nighttime?" Bella froze, but instead of calming down, she grew more frantic."It's nighttime, and Kayden hates the dark! I have to find him!"Kayden was her brother's name.In desperation, Madeline tried to pull her back. "Mom, please, let's stay calm. We'll find Kayden at dawn."Bella was not listening, whispering to herself, "He'll be gone by daylight!""Out of my way! Out of my way!" she cried, shoving people aside.Madeline, right by her side, was pushed out of the way and slammed against the wall with a loud "thud," her head striking it hard.In the midst of the chaos, she went unnoticed as everyone was focused on restraining Bella. Caleb rushed in, signaling for additional nurses to assist. Together, they managed to get Bella onto the bed and gave her a sedati

Madeline was all business, checking over Bella.The Sanders household was a different story—total disarray.Lydia had not seen that mess coming. She had come out empty-handed, which was bad enough, but Madeline? She walked away unscathed and even snagged a piece of the Sanders Corporation pie.Back home, Lydia clung to Skylar, sobbing her heart out."There, there, no more tears," Skylar soothed, wrapping her in a comforting embrace.Cilix's voice cut through the air, icy and sharp, "Crying won't fix anything. Better start figuring out your next move!"She had botched a winning hand and still had the gall to weep over it!Lydia, scolded, dissolved into even louder sobs. Skylar's head throbbed with the onset of a migraine, and she rushed to calm Lydia down. It took an eternity, but once Lydia's tears had dried up, Skylar escorted her upstairs to rest.Stepping out, Skylar caught Yale zipping up his pants as he emerged from his room, where other noises hinted at recent activity.
