The Love Triangle Chapter 524
In the end, Madeline found herself in the backseat of a car, heading to the wine party she had been so set against.Trevon had played his cards right, dangling the bluefin tuna, then the caviar, and raving about the celebrity chef flown in just to dazzle the high rollers. That was a one-time deal, and she was in for the ride.Trevon promised Madeline a quiet spot where she could just savor the feast without the fuss of a party. Somehow, she found herself saying yes.It was probably the little one doing somersaults in her tummy, drooling over the thought of top-notch bluefin tuna.That had to be it.They slipped into their fancy outfits at Tracy's shop, sneaking into the bash without causing a ripple.Trevon had the room all set, and Madeline kicked back, comfy and carefree.However, the star of the show, the bluefin tuna Trevon raved about, showed up fully cooked. No raw sashimi delight because Trevon was playing it safe against any pesky parasites.Madeline could not help bu

Cilix spun around to see Madeline, hand on her stomach, coming from the other end of the hallway, a sneer plastered on her face.Next to her stood Trevon, his face icy.Cilix's forehead creased with worry. "You turned down Mr. Wafford in front of everyone. Don't you see anything wrong with that? Is this the kind of manners you were taught?"What did your mom use to tell you? Sure, you're young, and it's forgivable that you didn't think this through. As your dad, it's up to me to sort these things out for you."Madeline stared at his two-faced grin, Hoyt's words echoing in her head.How dare he stand there and lecture her with such high and mighty talk?She used to think his favoritism was because of Skylar.That the tiny bit of fatherly affection he had could not reach her.Then, she got it. It had nothing to do with Skylar.From the get-go, the one who was truly selfish and unfeeling was Cilix. Without Skylar, without the Lowes, there would just be another family like the Zwi

Jay's secretary courteously showed Madeline and Trevon out. When he came back, Jay was still lost in the painting's charm.Suddenly, Jay chuckled to himself. "She's a genuine one, that girl. Doesn't seem like she's just putting on a show for me."Later that night, Trevon and Edith each called Jay in turn, their words laced with concern and defense.He had not been bothered before, but their protective tone piqued his interest.Trevon had just sent word through the grapevine. Madeline was supposed to come by and apologize to him face-to-face.It was the perfect timing for a meet-up.The secretary's lips gave a little involuntary twitch.Apologize in person? More like Trevon was treating Madeline to a meal, and the apology was just a side dish.He had seen it himself—plate after plate of perfectly good tuna, grilled to a crisp, delivered to Trevon's lounge. What a waste of perfectly good fish.It took a while, but eventually, Trevon's messenger came back with another update.He

Madeline's heart skipped a beat. She had not expected to stumble upon such a bombshell, and it was too late to sneak away unnoticed. The sound of the balcony door swinging open made the two people next to her jump. They clammed up and turned to look at her all at once. Madeline saw it was the girl who had been singing earlier and Stephen. She gave an embarrassed grin and mustered up the courage to say, "Hello, Mr. Ferguson. Good evening. I should probably get going... You guys chat." Madeline was about to retreat and close the door behind her when Stephen, with a resigned smile, stopped her, "Hold on." Madeline peeked out from the door's edge. Stephen, with a furrowed brow, asked, "What brings you here?"He had canceled the dinner to keep her from getting too tired, and there she was at an even more exhausting party.Madeline offered a sheepish smile and explained, "Well... I heard the bluefin tuna here was out of this world, so I thought I'd give it a try." Stephen's exp

The 'Mr. Shaw' that Stephen mentioned was the president of a company that partnered with the Gibson Group. They were in the business of chip materials, pretty much a key supplier for the Gibson Group.Their partnership ran deep. Austin Shaw was close with Trevon's father.At the party, Trevon knew he could not just skip out on the meet-up, but to his surprise, Riley and Amelia Shaw were there too.Trevon did not think much of it at first, until Riley started nudging the idea of a marriage deal between their families.Austin seemed to be eating it up. Amelia, her cheeks all kinds of red, did not bolt, though.Then, Riley had the nerve to suggest Trevon walk Amelia home.Quick on his feet, Trevon made up some business with Jay to make his escape.However, the real mystery was how Stephen got wind of the whole thing so fast.Stephen's grin turned icy. "Mrs. Yagle's dead set on playing matchmaker for you, yet here you are, still hanging around Madeline."Madeline's face said 'shoc

Madeline knew better than to push further.However, to her surprise, Yvonne spun around and hurried back, sniffling as she confessed, "I've got a concert in two days. I can't afford to get sick."Madeline was at a loss for words."I'm freezing," Yvonne whimpered.Madeline was speechless again.Luckily, before Madeline could react, Stephen appeared with a thick coat in hand—Yvonne's coat.Once bundled up, Yvonne's warmth returned, and she grudgingly mumbled her thanks while still avoiding eye contact with Stephen.Stephen, a bit helpless, offered, "Come on. I'll drive you home."Yvonne hummed, not objecting, but her eyes darted between Madeline and Stephen, clearly trying to figure out what was going on between them.Why was he so attentive to a woman who was expecting?She had not caught wind of Stephen tying the knot.Then, there was Trevon.Why on earth had Trevon sent her an invite?It was all a big mess. She just could not wrap her head around it.Even after hopping i

After her explanation, Yvonne took a moment to gauge their reactions.Madeline was poker-faced, impossible to read, but Stephen could not hide his scoff.Yvonne was left scratching her head at their responses.What was that all about?Stephen cut to the chase. "Just keep your distance from Trevon, alright?"A thrill shot through Yvonne. Was he actually concerned about her?A wistful sadness crossed her face. "You think I have any power to fight back? I'm just a singer with no influence or connections. Trevon's the money man. If he says to go west, I wouldn't dare to head east."Yvonne nearly jumped out of her skin when she got Trevon's invite.She had never even met the guy, but out of the blue, her agent told her to switch her concert to Redenbaugh City.She was not thrilled about it."The big shot financier calls the shots," her agent explained.That was when it hit her. The Gibson Group had thrown a ton of sponsorship cash her way, with one string attached—she had to play

Amelia massaged her swollen ankle, looking up through tears to glare at Trevon.She was sure that he had not even tried to catch her.If he had not popped up out of nowhere, she would not have crashed into him and hit the ground, right?Trevon did not even bother to offer her a hand. That was just too much!However, with all the whispers she had heard about Trevon, Amelia bit back her anger, her eyes watery as she said, "Trevon, my foot's killing me."Trevon's frown was a deep crease on his forehead. He was planning to pass her off to Daniel, but Riley was already there with Austin in tow.Riley was clearly annoyed. "What are you waiting for? Help Amelia up now!"Trevon stayed put.Daniel got a couple of waitresses to help Amelia to her feet and sent someone for first aid.Her ankle was puffed up like a balloon, sending sharp jolts of pain with every little move.Austin winced in empathy. "This looks bad. We need to get her to a hospital.""Yeah, better safe than sorry in ca

That batch of red wine did not look too strong, but it packed a punch.As the trio kept drinking, they slowly started to feel the buzz.Yeneth, glass in hand, her cheeks a rosy red, ranted, "Don't employees' lives count for anything? Overtime, day in and day out! It's enough to wear out a horse!"That darn Camden, always harping on about performance, about profits! Is game development just about the bottom line? What happened to the heart? Rubbish!"For a moment, she thought she saw Camden's face, and in a fit of anger, Yeneth tried to slap it away, nearly tumbling into her wine glass instead.Madeline, startled, rushed to steady her.Yeneth, still wobbly, stood up on her own, fixing Trevon with a steely gaze and said icily, "You're just another greedy capitalist."Trevon sat there, calm and collected, but his delayed movements and the occasional glint of bewilderment in his eyes betrayed his inebriation to Madeline.When Yeneth spoke up, he turned his head slowly, locking eyes

Madeline, caught up in the conversation with Caleb and Yeneth, turned around in shock at Trevon's question.He had just declared he would not touch a drop, and he was suddenly reaching for the wine?However, she let it go without a question.The red wine was smooth and inviting. If he felt like drinking, why not?Trevon grunted a greeting into his phone. "Mr. Caleb Jabs."Caleb snapped out of his reverie, returning the greeting with a subdued nod, his gaze deepening.Yeneth, caught between awkwardness and concern, glanced at Caleb. She was about to speak when a glamorous doctor in a white coat appeared beside him on the screen.The doctor, Camila Jervis, peered at the screen, her smile teasing. "Mr. Caleb Jabs, are you chatting with your girlfriend?"Two women were on the screen, leaving it unclear whom she meant.Caleb shook his head, offering no explanation, and instead asked, "Dr. Jervis, what's up?"Camila arched an eyebrow, not prying further. "The professor's ready to s

Yahir sipped his cola, feeling utterly dejected.He had bolted from the Lewis family feast, even at the risk of getting caught, just to pocket two bottles of Lafite.They were not the prized '1982' edition, but they were still pretty decent.His mom's constant marriage talk was a drag, but her taste in wine was impeccable. He was all set for a night of no-holds-barred drinking with Trevon.However, Trevon dragged him over to Madeline's, and under the pretext of her pregnancy, confiscated all the wine.Then, it sat tauntingly in the wine cabinet.Yahir gazed at it, each bottle seeming to whisper seductively."Come on, come have a taste."It was pure torture!He took another swig of cola."Whoa!"Yeneth's shout came out of nowhere.Yahir choked mid-sip.The cola fizz popped like fireworks in his throat, sending him into a coughing frenzy, his face flushing a deep crimson as the soda splashed across the floor.Madeline jumped at his coughing spectacle, hastily grabbing a tis

Madeline swung open the kitchen door to find Yahir wrapping his arms around Yeneth from behind, as if he could not bear to let her go.Her mind, already a whirlwind of thoughts, was completely thrown."What in the world..."Madeline was puzzled as she returned from the kitchen. She had only stepped away to make a call, and then Yeneth and Yahir were locked in an embrace.Yeneth tried to explain, "Madeline, this isn't what it looks like. I was just—"However, Yahir clamped a hand over her mouth, grinning at Madeline. "We're just playing around, Madeline. Hey, do you have any wine glasses? We need four. Let's celebrate!"Trevon stepped out from behind Madeline, his composed facade unbroken. "Lost your head? She's pregnant. Think she can drink?"Yahir smacked his forehead. "Oh, man. I totally spaced on that."Once Yeneth wriggled free, she took a deep breath and delivered a sharp kick to Yahir's leg. "Get off me!"She kicked with all her might, hitting Yahir's shin and sending a

At that moment, Trevon seemed to freeze, then he straightened his posture. "Madeline, Liam's role is to be your close protection, to ensure your safety."Madeline had faced too many close calls, and he could not shake his concern for her.However, she was fiercely independent. If it were up to him, he would keep her tethered to his side.Madeline let out a derisive snort. She knew Xoan well enough to know he could dig up information on Yoana, but not with such speed and precision.Xoan claimed Liam was the one who had lent a hand.Madeline knew Liam. That had Trevon's fingerprints all over it."Do you really think I've become so dim-witted from pregnancy that I can't think straight?"Trevon looked at her, a mix of frustration and affection in his eyes.She had once been so sweet and compliant. Then, she became so sharp and quick-witted, a match even for him.However, he preferred her that way."Madeline, I'm just looking out for you."Trevon had an insatiable need to know ev
The Love Triangle Chapter 567
"Madeline, I've got the scoop on Yoana," Xoan said.Madeline was taken aback. "So soon?"Xoan let out a sly chuckle. "It wouldn't have been this quick, but Liam lent us a hand."Madeline stole a quick look at Trevon, then cast her gaze downward.Fifteen years back, Yoana was forced out of the Sanders Group—a victim of Cilix's cunning plot.It was not just a simple resignation as Bella had naively believed. Yoana was secretly saddled with a mountain of debt.Cilix did not stop there. He tarnished Yoana's name throughout the industry.She could not land a respectable job to save her life.Her personal life was total chaos.Her husband, Jim Livingston, who was once a low-level office worker, had dived into business on the back of Yoana's earnings and made a pretty penny.However, when the bill came due, Yoana hit a wall. Jim had sent all his cash back to his folks, leaving peanuts behind.Yoana was floored. A decade of hard work, and not a dime to show for it.When she begged

Madeline swung the door open to find Trevon on her doorstep, her eyebrows knitting together in a frown.Before she could get a word out, Yahir popped up from behind him with a grin. "Happy New Year, Madeline!"He waved a container of homemade goodies.Those two had nearly fought that morning, and then they were as chummy as can be—though Trevon looked like he would rather be anywhere else. However, he bit his tongue and kept quiet.With the Gibsons and the Lewises all cozied up for a New Year's feast, what on earth were those two doing there?Yahir's face fell. "Madeline, you've got no idea. My mom's a force of nature. Can you believe she's still dragging me to blind dates on New Year's Eve? I just had to bail."Madeline could not help but think about Liliana's earlier enthusiasm for rallying the troops and was at a loss for words."What about you, Trevon? What brings you here?" Madeline asked.Trevon pursed his lips. He was looking a little quiet too.Edith had been on his ca

Madeline walked into her house and immediately sensed something was up. She nudged the door wider and there was Yeneth, sparking an involuntary grin on her face."I thought you were going to be hibernating today?"Yeneth had been swamped with the Skylandia project, barely getting any sleep. She had texted Madeline about sleeping in on her day off.With a shrug and a smirk, Yeneth said, "Guess I'm just wired to work. Woke up at the crack of dawn, hung around in bed not to wake you, and by the time I showed up, you were already out and about."Madeline shut the door behind her, musing aloud."I've been turning it over in my mind. All this press and pest hunting is kid's play for the Sanders Group. To really take them on, we've got to… Yank the carpet out from under them?" Yeneth's smile was the answer Madeline needed as she shared her strategy."How's that sound?"Yeneth's thumbs-up was quick, but her frown came just as fast. "Fashion's a shark tank, and jumping in now? That's r
The Love Triangle Chapter 564
Madeline's request left Yoana taken aback.A wry smile crossed her face. "What can I possibly help you with at my age?"Madeline grasped her hand with conviction. "No, Mrs. Reed, you're the only one who can do this favor for me."Yoana looked down, her expression unreadable, and whispered, "You're giving me too much credit. Besides, with my background, there's no way I can go back to working with the Sanders Group. I have a couple of pairs of baby shoes here. Take them as a baby shower gift for your little ones."Madeline realized Yoana had gotten the wrong idea, thinking she was there about the Sanders Group or Cilix, and felt a twinge of disappointment."Mrs. Reed, please don't reject my request just yet. I'm planning to start my own fashion label. Everything Is underway, but I'm still missing one crucial piece—a designer."Madeline shared her vision.Yoana's eyebrows shot up in surprise when she heard Madeline's vision for her new company."That sounds just like the Sanders
