The Love Triangle Chapter 550
Rosie's eyes bulged, and it took an eternity for her to exhale the breath she had been holding."I knew she was nothing but trouble, luring Yale like that. If I were you, I'd have sent her packing ages ago!"She was not about to recognize any grandkids.Yale was way out of Lacee's league, so she had no business having his baby.While all that was being said, Victor just sat there, cool as a cucumber, without budging.Hoyt, who could not stand listening to another word, went over, scooped up Lacee, and rushed her to the hospital.The whole place went topsy-turvy.Lacee really was two months along, but between her poor health and all the stress, the pregnancy was on shaky ground and ended abruptly with an accidental kick from Hoyt.Hoyt mumbled awkwardly, "I... I was just trying to kick the door."Lacee just hung her head, silent.Skylar was at a loss for words.It was a sad loss, but what was done was done."You're off the hook for work for a bit. Take it easy and recover. I

Skylar froze, her eyes locked onto Hoyt, a look of sheer disbelief plastered across her face.Hoyt let out a sharp, mocking laugh."The Sanders Group went public, and they've handed out their original shares like candy. Except for Cilix's thirty-five percent stake, the rest are in the hands of new investors."Us veterans didn't even see a dime. He's playing defense, especially against the Lowe family!"To get the company public, he's been shaking things up. He started with the factory before wheeling and dealing for raw materials. He snatched up all the assets that used to be with the Lowe and Sanders families and now, he's kicked me to the curb."There's hardly anyone from the Lowe family left in the Sanders Group. They're all getting the boot, just like me, skulking away with their tails between their legs."Skylar, you really don't see what's happening here? Cilix is cleaning house, grabbing the Sanders family by the reins. When he's done, the Sanders Group will dance to his t

Hoyt had Skylar convinced."How do I even start to gather evidence?" Skylar asked.Her circle was limited to high society women and the folks from the Lowe Clan village, none of whom could help her find what she needed.Hoyt smiled knowingly. "Leave it to the pros. If you trust me, I'll get someone on it. It'll cost a bit, though.""Money's no problem," Skylar said with a nod, rising to open a nearby cabinet.She pulled out two thick wads of cash. Each held fifteen hundred dollars, and her drawer was stuffed with them.Hoyt took a quick look before shoving the cash into his bag.Skylar caught his hand, her eyes intense. "Hoyt, you're all I've got. You'll help me out, right?"Hoyt slapped his chest confidently. "You got it, Skylar! Don't worry, I'm on it."Convinced by his promise, Skylar released his hand and slumped back onto the bed, drained."Get some rest, Skylar," Hoyt said, closing her door behind him.He felt the weight of the money in his pocket and grinned.

Madeline's expression soured.Trevon looked up in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"Madeline looked down after peeling her eyes away from Trevon, her voice distant. "The doctor said you're not supposed to use that hand."Trevon's brow creased ever so slightly. He really did not think much of the injury and hated the idea of worrying her."It's fine," he insisted.Then, ignoring his own advice, he picked up a morsel of food with his right hand and offered it to her with a spoon.Madeline was speechless.She could not resist rolling her eyes at him. "What's wrong with your left hand? Can't use that one either?"Trevon glanced at his left hand and bit his lip. Sure, it was not as handy as his right. He could grab stuff, but eating was another story.After a moment of silence, Madeline stood up, a hint of resignation in her movements. Trevon's heart skipped a beat, his eyes darkening with a mix of surprise and hopeful anticipation.Was Madeline about to feed him herself?

That was just childish. Madeline spun on her heel and left. Behind her, the two men let out a derisive snort before going their separate ways. Once inside, Madeline's phone buzzed with a message from Xoan. "Hoyt came to me with Skylar's cash. He wants me to dig into Cilix's affair and the kid he's got on the side." Madeline's eyebrow quirked up.Hoyt was on the ball, moving fast. However, that was going to be a tough nut to crack. She had had Xoan snoop around the Sanders family before and came up empty. It was only after Cilix started making moves that she had pieced together a hunch.Madeline pulled out her phone and quickly checked the Sanders Group's stock prices. They were not plummeting anymore. In fact, they were starting to bounce back.It looked like Cilix had managed the situation pretty well. Maybe the stock would even climb a little higher.She had hoped to use Cilix's dirty laundry to tank the Sanders Group, but that plan was looking pretty weak.There w

Hector and Sadie were deep in a plot for Sadie to marry Trevon when a call from home threw them for a loop.Andrew wanted them back home immediately.They exchanged puzzled looks, clueless about Andrew's sudden summons.Sadie went pale. "Stephen probably ratted us out to Grandpa. What now? If he finds out I nearly knocked a pregnant lady over, he'll have my head!"Hector, remembering Andrew's cane, felt a chill. He shot Sadie a reproachful glance. "Why'd you have to go and pull her like that?"Sadie fired back, "I was defending you, and now you're giving me grief?"Hector clammed up. He was more anxious than Sadie.Their real problem was not Madeline, it was Andrew.Andrew was a force to be reckoned with, and he did not hesitate to throw a punch. Sadie might not stand a chance against him, but Hector...He cursed Stephen for shielding Madeline so fiercely!"How did Madeline cast such a spell on our brother? He's got her back so much, he's even dragging our grandfather into th

Hector and Sadie's earlier relief was crushed under the weight of his words. They winced in pain but managed to sit up straight and still.Sophia, leaning on Joanna for support, approached Andrew. "At your age, you should be focusing on your well-being, not flying off the handle. If the kids have done wrong, teach them the right way."What's the point of all this fury? I can understand disciplining Hector, but why on earth did you hit Sadie? What's this all about?" Joanna's grip faltered for a moment, her face betraying no emotion. Hector's face was a mask of injustice.Was he not his own flesh and blood? Was it fair to hit him?However, his voice had always carried little weight in the family, so he simply bowed his head in silence.Andrew let out a heavy sigh, his mind replaying the shameful act he had just learned about. He gripped his cane tighter, the urge to deliver another round of punishment burning within him.Hector, sensing the danger, recoiled and stayed as still

Sadie chuckled awkwardly, "That can't be right."Madeline was five months along, but they had only met less than four months ago. How could Stephen be the father?Joanna was genuinely confused. "That's odd. Why's your brother so protective of her then?"Hector had not thought of that and snapped, "Madeline's a sly one. Maybe she had no shame and lured Stephen in. He's fallen under her spell!"Joanna's brow creased.She had suspected something similar. When she first returned, she had probed Stephen about it, but his response was chilly, and he did not seem to be lying.However, then again, her eldest son had always been good at hiding his feelings. If he wanted to keep a secret, she might not even notice.Could Hector be right?She decided she needed to meet Madeline herself.…When Cilix walked into the house, a little boy, about eight or nine, charged at him and hugged him tight."Daddy!"A rare smile spread across Cilix's face as he bent down and scooped the boy into his

The Love Triangle Chapter 572
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
The Love Triangle Chapter 571
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
The Love Triangle Chapter 565
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
