The Love Triangle Chapter 35
Madeline's artistic alias, Lily Mora, may not have been a household name, but she had her share of die-hard fans.In that tight-knit community, each piece's art style and intricacies were everything.The character revealed at the press conference screamed Lily Mora's signature touch.Toss that tidbit into any fan forum, and they would usually get a few chuckles and nothing more.However, a handful of art students in the group took a closer look. They compared the new character with Lydia and Lily Mora's past works and were convinced that Lily Mora had to be the true artist behind it.They sent a private message to Lily Mora to seek confirmation. Madeline, confined to her hospital bed, could not possibly respond.So, they turned to Skylandia's official channels, armed with the buzzword 'Skylandia's breathtaking character'.The Skylandia launch was the talk of the gaming world.The gaming industry was booming with new games popping up every day, but a bona fide AAA game? Those we

Wren desperately glanced at Lydia for backup.She put together the presentation deck, but Lydia told her to do it that way. When Wren suggested using Lydia's character, Camden was unhappy and chose Lily Mora's instead.Lydia had kept quiet, but she had Wren switch the credit to her name later on.Wren objected, but Lydia had brushed it off, saying Lily Mora was just a small-time artist and no one would make a big deal about it.However, Lydia was the boss, and Wren, just an assistant, had to follow orders.When the situation spiraled, Wren was just as panicked.Lydia muttered 'idiot' under her breath and said with a grave expression, "What's done is done. 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

Lydia's handling of Lily Mora's situation was less than honorable.Trevon was aware of her ambition to rise to fame quickly on the home front, but she had miscalculated the severity of the situation.The advancement of the internet left many dark secrets nowhere to hide.Honesty was always the best policy."Lily Mora's got some serious talent with a brush. 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

Despite Trevon's efforts to keep the Luxuria Supper House debacle under wraps, Edith got wind of it. Ryan kept tabs on Trevon and Madeline. 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. He needs to come back immediately."Trevon's mind was set on divorce, and it was crucial to stop him before he could go through with it.As luck would have it, Edith was not ready to deal with that yet because the Skylandia debacle had just blown up.Edith took one look at the

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

Trevon, fighting off a wave of nausea, dialed a number."I need Madeline's medical records from the hospital today."Once he had given the order, he knew it was not the time to seek out Madeline, so he retreated to his room to rest.The nausea was relentless.He had just missed Madeline and Yeneth's chat about Lily Mora."The company wants to offer you the role of a featured artist. 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. However, Lydia's latest move was unexpectedly underhanded.Becoming a featured artist would mean falling under Lydia's command—the art director she wanted to avoid.Madeline was not naive. She had never been part of the corporate world, but she was not clueless.Lydia had to despise her after what happened, and would surely make her life difficult.That kind of str

Trevon's voice was surprisingly gentle.Before Madeline could respond, a wave of nausea hit her hard, and she bolted for the bathroom to throw up.Trevon turned pale and clenched his fists tightly, barely managing to stop himself from vomiting.Why did he have to feel her nausea as if it were his own? He would rather deal with physical pain than that invisible, gut-wrenching sensation.After what felt like an eternity, Madeline's stomach finally settled. She wiped her mouth with a tissue that had mysteriously appeared before her. Looking up, she offered a weak but heartfelt "Thank you" to Trevon, who had braved the unpleasantness to bring her the tissue.Discomfort crossed Trevon's face as he replied coldly, "Just don't make me watch."Madeline was left speechless.She had to admit, the man had a sharp tongue. His handsome face and long legs must have blinded her in the past.Madeline had just finished sprucing up the bathroom when she returned and dropped the bombshell."We g

A collective sigh of relief swept through the project team.It was not long before the Skylandia project team made a flourishing announcement.[Thrilled to have Lily Mora join the 'Skylandia' team.]Lily Mora's response was equally gracious.[Happy to clear up the misunderstanding. Excited to collaborate!]There was Bernard, quietly hitting 'like' on her post, as if his silent endorsement meant everything.Yahir was at it again, stirring up chaos before he dialed Trevon's number."You're in my debt now, buddy. How do you plan to make it up to me?"Trevon was already distracted. His productivity tanked due to the emotional turmoil Madeline put him in.He tossed the paperwork aside and asked over the phone, "What's it gonna take?"With a sly laugh, Yahir replied, "Come on. We're the champs. What are we doing holed up in this backwater town? Rent me a floor in the Redenbaugh City office building downtown. It'll give me a reason to come back and hang out with you."Trevon mulled
