Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 525

Nathan stormed over with a determined stride, his eyes instantly locking onto the credit card. Without hesitation, he snatched it up and, right in front of the two women, snapped it in half before tossing it into the trash can.

Having done that, he reached out and grabbed Janice by the arm, pulling her up. He quickly adjusted his grip to her wrist and began to lead her away.

"Nathan."

Madeleine jumped up, hurrying forward to block his path.

"Nathan, can we talk?"

Her eyes were red-rimmed and glistening with unshed tears. Watching Nathan walk in, not even sparing her a glance before pulling Janice away, filled her with a bitter sense of jealousy and pain.

Janice was also struggling to break free from Nathan's iron grip, which felt like a vice around her wrist.

Where was Lucy?

Lucinda had wisely kept out of sight, spotting her father marching in with a small army of bodyguards. She knew better than to interfere, but she watched her parents' every move from a safe distance.

As for Kayla and Ashley, they had deliberately tipped Madeleine off about Janice's whereabouts, hoping she would take care of Janice for them. Now, they were likely hiding somewhere, enjoying the show.

"Ms. Porter, there's nothing for us to discuss right now."

Nathan's voice was low and steady, his expression stony as he addressed Madeleine with a formality that shattered her heart.

Tears welled up as she choked out, "Nathan, I know I was wrong, but it was because I loved you too much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have resorted to such measures. I made a mistake, I truly did. Can't you forgive me?"

"The only person I've ever loved is you. I've never cared for Hayden. That night was his doing. He's always coveted me, so he, Nathan, I made a mistake, but if it weren't for Hayden's scheming, we wouldn't be in this situation."

She reached to touch Nathan's hand, only for him to pull away.

Tears glistened in her eyes. "Nathan, you won't even let me touch you? Do you think I'm tainted?"

"Nathan, let me go. I have no interest in watching you both play out your drama."

Janice's nails dug into Nathan's hand, drawing blood, but he didn't let go.

Keeping a firm hold on his wife's hand, Nathan instructed one of his bodyguards, "Go find my daughter."

The bodyguard quickly left to fetch Lucinda.

The patrons in the coffee shop had pieced together the story. The man who had entered like a king was none other than the head of the Blue family, the ruler of their world.

And there was his wife and Madeleine. A classic love triangle. Everyone loves a bit of gossip.

Heads turned and ears perked up, eager to catch every word of this juicy drama.

Lucinda soon entered the scene.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Feigning ignorance to avoid her mother's wrath later, Lucinda knew Madeleine was a thorn best dealt with by her father. After all, any third-party interference in her relationship with Stefan was always handled by Stefan himself.
