Chapter 475
475–She Keeps Winning
Kaylee:
I stood among them, listening as they discussed why my husband should drop off his ex. The same ex he had been accused of looking at with dirty intentions more times than I could count.
I could not understand how Lord Eldon failed to see it. I could not understand how neither he nor Graham realized that staying
away from Madeline would protect his reputation.
But Lord Eldon disappointed me the most. I had believed he would at least tell his son to keep his distance.
Instead, he was sending him with her. And I knew exactly what Madeline was doing.
She stood there pretending she would never sit in a car with him. I knew what they had done last night.
It felt like she had trapped my husband in her spell again. Whatever hope she had given him was making him cautious.
They were careful. They did not acknowledge anything in front of others. 2
That was the frightening part.
But I was not blind. I would not be fooled.
“Mommy, can we please go? We’re tired,” Bodhi said, tugging at her hand. His eyes were almost closing.
Elara held her other hand and gently shook it.
“Look at them. I don’t think they can wait for a cab. It’s late. A cab will take too long to arrive,” Lord Eldon continued.
I clenched my jaw and shut my eyes. I turned my face to the other side.
“Fine, but we will sit in a separate car,” Madeline suggested, lifting her chin slightly.
She was becoming unbearable. Every time she acted as if she were above me, especially when these people kept giving her
attention.
Once Madeline accepted the offer, Graham moved quickly toward the bedroom. Madeline walked outside to wait near one of the
cars.
I knew they would switch vehicles the moment they were away from the mansion. Once the children fell asleep, they would sit together.
I hurried after him.
The moment I saw him spraying himself with excessive perfume, I knew.
“Why? Why do you have to take her?” I demanded.
He turned toward me and gave me a look filled with disdain. Then he faced the mirror and adjusted his hair.
“Kaylee, I told you, trust is important in a relationship,” he replied sharply. “If you cannot trust me, I cannot help you. I am an alpha. I cannot sit in silence. I have decisions to make.” 1
His tone was bitter. There was urgency in him, as if he feared something would happen and their plan would fail.
“You have not given me a single reason to trust you,” I argued. “Why do you have to go? If anything, Lord Eldon should sit in
the car. ”
Graham let out a grunt.
“You want my old father to travel back and forth for hours?” he snapped, moving past me. “Use your head p>

His behavior made it obvious. He had been waiting for a chance to be alone with her.
I stepped in his path and he nearly collided with me. He stopped himself and moved back.
The way he glared at me, it was as if he were asking what I was doing.
“What if I had hit you? You would have fallen and hurt yourself,” he shouted. “Kaylee, have you lost your mind p>
His urgency, his agitation, it all pointed to something else.
A man does not lose control simply because his wife asks questions.
“Can I come with you?” I asked in the gentlest voice I could manage, trying not to sound desperate.
But they already had plans.
“No. You’re pregnant. You can’t just move around like this. Go and rest,” he hissed. “I’ll be back. Don’t wait up for me p>
His tone carried anger. He was still upset about how I had reacted.
I followed him anyway as he hurried outside. Within minutes, the cars pulled away in two separate directions while I stood on the porch with my fists clenched.
The moment they disappeared from sight, I stormed back inside.
“What the hell was that?” I shouted at Lord Eldon.
He stopped and turned toward me, confusion crossing his face.
“Kaylee, what is this tone?” he snapped. “Go back to your room. Wait for your husband and question him. Do not raise your voice at me again p>
His sharp response made me fall silent. But inside, I was shaking with rage.
“No. I want answers,” I demanded, stepping closer to him.
He raised a hand in warning and walked swiftly into his room. The door slammed shut behind him.
I lifted my hand to knock, but voices from inside stopped me.
“Do you know what happened today?” Penny’s voice drifted through the door. “I sprained my ankle. Your daughter–in–law saw me and walked past me to her room p>
I froze.
“And guess who took care of me?” she continued. “The one you all call low class. Madeline p>
There was softness in her voice when she said Madeline’s name. 1
My world felt like it was collapsing, and I stood there unable to move.
I began to wonder if I needed to contact Silver and let her know that everything that was happening to us was because of Madeline. And that we needed to take her down together.
