The Love Triangle Chapter 77
His response was met with a pillow to the face.Madeline, livid, hurled it straight at him. The blow actually hurt Trevon, who quickly snatched the pillow away and seized Madeline's hand, pinning her to the bed. "Madeline, I'm warning you, stop pushing my buttons!"In doing so, he yanked away the blanket, leaving her completely bare.Madeline was a mix of rage, frustration, and shame, and she broke down crying."Trevon, you're a creep! A jerk! A total loser! Why don't you just drop dead!" She sobbed uncontrollably, her words laced with venom.Trevon felt like his head was about to explode with frustration, unable to focus on Madeline's seductive presence. "Enough," he snapped.Madeline's glare could have cut glass, her tears still falling steadily. His anger dissipated, replaced by a softer tone, "I didn't mean to. How was I to know you'd change without shutting the door?"I've seen it all. It's not like I can gouge my eyes out for you. Or maybe I should strip too, let you have

The next morning, Madeline and Trevon opened their doors at the exact same moment, as if drawn by an unseen force. The instant Madeline laid eyes on him, she let out a derisive snort and averted her gaze.Trevon's jaw tightened with annoyance. She could really get under his skin.There was Madeline, sipping her water, when Trevon approached, his expression icy. "You were home all day and couldn't even clean up a bit? This place is a disaster. And make sure you wash the clothes I left out."Madeline, barely out of bed and already in a sour mood, responded with a sharp "hmph" and slammed her water glass down on the table. "Mr. Gibson, I'm not your maid."Trevon shot back, "You're the one who said you didn't need a maid, that you could handle it."She had said that, had she not? Madeline wished she could go back in time and give herself a good slap. "Regardless, I'm done with it now!""You!"Without another word, Madeline slammed the door shut, leaving Trevon to stew. He could grin

Madeline gave a nod. "I'll see if my senior, Caleb, has a moment."Yeneth teased, "Look at you, casually hitting up your senior. I like it."Madeline shot her a look. "Cut the snark. He was a huge help while I was in the hospital. Without him, everyone would've known about the baby. I owe him thanks.""Don't give me that. You can't tell me you're clueless about how he feels." Yaneth said.That was the unspoken crush that had not wavered since their college days.Madeline paused, her voice softening. "You know my deal. No money, a sick mom to care for. If Madam Gibson hadn't pushed for it, using the excuse of chasing away bad luck, I'd never have made it into the Gibson family."Three years on, nothing's better. Now I'm a divorced mom with a kid in tow. Think I stand a chance with the Jabs family, another high-society clan?""Who knows, maybe the Jabs are different from the Gibsons. Plus, you're a senior..."Madeline quickly covered her mouth. "All these fancy families, scratch

So, her heartfelt plea was all about getting those papers.Madeline could not help but smile at the irony. "With all your charm, Ms. Sanders, why don't you ask grandma yourself? You're so devoted to Mr. Gibson, and with grandma's soft spot for her grandson, she's bound to say yes."Lydia's fists were balled up tight as she spat out, "So, Madeline, you're really not going to do us this solid? How can you be so wrapped up in yourself? Your selfishness is screwing all three of us over!"The whole table was stunned into silence by her outburst."Ugh, I'm about to hurl my dinner." Yeneth could not take it anymore and blurted out, "Will you let us eat in peace!"Caleb signaled for the waiter. "Could we get a quiet booth, please?"The waiter, looking sorry, quickly bowed and went to set it up. Trevon dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "Forget it." Lydia opened her mouth to argue, but Trevon's frosty stare stopped her abruptly. She was seething inside. She was always the one f

The news was a ray of hope for Madeline, but the looming concern was the cost. Don't stress about the money. You can pay me back whenever you're able to."Madeline winced inwardly, thirty thousand dollars for the medicine was way beyond her means."However, there's something I'd like to ask you," Caleb said, changing the subject."My mentor is really interested in your mom's condition and wants to examine it closely. The hospital records I've seen are only recent. Is there any chance you could dig up her older medical records?"Madeline paused, recalling the stack of papers tucked away in Bella's belongings."I'll get them sorted out and to you today," she promised.Caleb nodded, his gratitude evident.Madeline softly shook her head. "The thanks should really come from me. I don't know who your mentor is, but they must be something special. Having such an amazing doctor look after my mom's condition is a true gift."She blushed slightly. "You've done so much for me, and I feel

Madeline paused, at a loss for words, and could only offer a smile.Edith caught the awkwardness of her previous comment and quickly corrected herself, addressing Yanick, "You better stick around this time. Your mom's lined up a bunch of dates for you. Time to meet some ladies and settle down."Yanick's skin crawled at the thought, but he leaned in with a cheeky smile, "Not a fan of those girls. I think Madeline's pretty great."His eyes flicked over Madeline as he spoke.Madeline tensed up. What kind of nonsense was he spouting? Before she could gather her thoughts, Yanick went on, "Grandma even had the tarot cards read to find me the right one."So that's what he was getting at? Madeline let out a relieved breath.Edith chuckled. "You're okay with that? Then I might just find the perfect day to trek up the mountain and see what the tarot cards say."Yanick leaped to his feet. "After seeing the Northern Lights, Grandma claims she's old but now she's more spry than ever, ready t

Madeline shook her head with conviction. "How could I ever resent you, Grandma? You were there for me when I felt so alone. Without you, my mom and I would be lost. She wouldn't have the care she needs, Sanders wouldn't cover her medical bills, and I wouldn't have the life I have now."She would not have spent those three years close to Trevon. Even though she was upset with Trevon, she never thought he owed her anything. It was just hard to accept his favoritism."After three years, Trevon and I never grew close, his heart was always with Lydia. I've accepted that, and moved on. That's why I'm asking you, Grandma, to give us your blessing, for Trevon and me."Edith's hand shook ever so slightly. "Are you sure this is what you want?"Madeline gave a nod, her smile a blend of warmth and determination. She was set on getting a divorce. Edith felt a sharp twinge in her heart as she noticed that, her eyes misting over. "Madeline..."She was such a wonderful person, Edith hated to see

With a casual authority in his voice, Trevon replaced the juice with a cup of warm water, a thoughtful gesture that was all too uncommon.Madeline eyed the warm water in her hands and let out a soft laugh. Why not indulge him that once? She took a sip of the bland water, giving him that much.Madeline pulled out her ID and handed it over to Trevon with deliberate slowness. "Grandma's already given me the papers. It's time we get divorced."Trevon froze, caught off guard. She had cleaned up the house and even fixed him a glass of juice. He had thought maybe she was softening up, ready to back down. Their marriage was beyond saving, but Madeline had been there for him for three years. He did not want their last moments to be a bitter battle.It was a relief that Madeline seemed to be the one conceding. He could use that as a chance to bow out gracefully, to treat her well before they parted ways. However, then, Madeline brought out her ID again, mentioning divorce. What was she getti

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

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
