She should have kept her distance from Trevon and Lydia.Both women were in tears, prompting the doctor to intervene."Enough crying. It'll only make things worse.

That's its best shot at survival!"The doctor's words reignited Madeline's resolve, and she quickly dried her eyes.She needed to be strong for her baby.Through her tears, Yeneth managed to laugh.

We need to focus on how to quiet down the chatter online without dragging Skylandia through the mud. I'll address the issue when it's resolved. I'll own up to it."Lydia claimed to be going with the flow, but she stepped up to take the blame, acting like she would do anything for the project and the company.However, what was

Xystos Tech could really use someone like her."Bernard caught on quickly. "You want her to take a crack at the spokesperson's portrait?"Trevon had no objections. With that settled, Bernard went back to his training routine.Yahir looked puzzled. "That's it? No other conditions?"He thought they should at least negotiate a better deal for the endorsement and make some extra cash for the team.…By the time Camden and Lydia showed up, Trevon had nearly wrapped up the deal.Lydia looked like a sad puppy caught in the rain. "Trevon, if we go through with this, how will I ever make a name for myself in the art world?"Trevon

Edith was livid when she learned that Trevon had shoved Madeline and had planned to meet at the County Clerk's Office at four in the afternoon.She cursed and slapped her thigh in frustration. "That useless idiot! Is Madeline okay?"Ryan replied, "Mrs. Gibson's friend rushed her to the hospital. The doctor said she took quite a hit, so she's still in the hospital bed." Caleb had managed to keep the pregnancy a secret, preventing any rumors. Edith swore again. "Make sure Madeline gets the rest she needs to recover. Find Trevon quickly and tell him I've passed out.

His arrival was noticeable, and the pair glanced his way.Trevon quickly gathered his rage as he approached.He stopped in front of Madeline, his eyes shifting between the two, a mocking smile forming as he noticed the coat on Madeline's shoulders."Ignoring calls, and now you're home late with another guy. Still claiming you haven't moved on?"Trevon's words were harsh.Caleb instinctively moved Madeline behind him. "Trevon, don't make this any harder than it has to be! Madeline nearly ended up being admitted to the hospital because of how you shoved her. If you don't believe me, the hospital records are there to prove it."Trevon's frown was barely noticeable as he responded calmly. "I know better than anyone whether she's hurt. Why would someone like you, Mr. Caleb Jabs, need to lie for a woman?"Caleb's brow furrowed in concern. "Trevon, what's that supposed to mean? You realize Madeline was nearly—""Hey."Madeline's frail, raspy voice cut through the tension as she stepp

What's your take, Madeline?"Madeline's brow creased in thought.Ever since the incident, she grew wary of the Skylandia project, and especially Lydia.Madeline assumed her minor contracting role kept her well away from Lydia's reach.
