Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 361

That's how it was. He didn't know when he would cradle his grandchild in his arms. The anticipation of becoming a grandfather was a sweet torture.

Keith grunted in acknowledgment, watching as his father and Pete hurriedly left the office.

His father didn't tell him, but Keith could make a fair guess. Last night, his father had been tricked by Madeleine, Keith had to rush him to the hospital. He had no idea what kind of scandal Madeleine had stirred up at their home.

Keith laughed abruptly, "Such a fascinating drama, and Dad won't even let me go home to watch."

But someone would bring him the juicy details, he was sure of it.

However, when Ashley found out that her husband had spent the night with Madeleine, she stormed to the main house, shouting as soon as she entered, "Hayden, get out here now, Madeleine, you wretched woman, how dare you seduce my husband!"

"Madam Ashley, Madam."

The housekeepers tried to stop her, but Ashley was unstoppable. Even a team of strong men wouldn't have been able to hold her back.

She pushed past everyone, none of the housekeepers daring to restrain her too forcefully for fear of hurting her. She stomped upstairs where Hayden and Madeleine were.

Madeleine woke up to see Ashley's furious face. She was first startled, then bashfully pleased. Despite feeling sore and achy, the thought that she had finally consummated her relationship with Nathan and her imminent marriage into the Blue family made her heart light up as bright as the morning sun.

However, her joy didn't last long. She screamed seeing Hayden in front of her.

Hayden!

How could it be Hayden!

Madeleine understood everything seeing Hayden in disarray.

She screamed, throwing herself at Hayden, hitting him while cursing, "Hayden, you beast! I'm your future sister-in-law. How dare you do this to me! I'll kill you, you bastard!"

Thinking she had been intimate with Hayden, someone she despised from the bottom of her heart, Madeleine felt as if the sky was falling. She knew about Hayden's promiscuous affairs outside. She wouldn't even let him touch her shoes, replaceing him repulsive.

And he dared to defile her!

She would not let this slide!

"Madeleine, Madeleine."

Savannah knew her youngest son had stirred a hornet's nest, but he was still her son, and she felt distressed. She tried to pull Madeleine off Hayden, but she was old and couldn't manage it.

Madeleine was kicking and punching Hayden, and even with Hayden's parents' attempts to intervene, they couldn't separate her from him.

Exhausted, Madeleine collapsed on the floor, weeping bitterly. She had no idea how this could have happened.

Just before she lost consciousness, Nathan had just come out of the bathroom. Did Nathan suddenly have to leave, and Hayden took advantage of her?

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open by Ashley. Ashley came in like a storm, grabbing Madeleine by her hair, and started hitting her.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Ashley's slaps sounded like firecrackers going off. By the time the old couple came to their senses, Ashley had already swelled Madeleine's face.

Ashley was not satisfied with just bruising Madeleine's face. She scratched, hit, and even bit Madeleine, dragging her out of the room by her leg, shouting, "Since you like to seduce men so much, everyone should see your shameless face."

Madeleine tried her best to break free from Ashley, but she couldn't.

Ashley was crazier than her.

She had completely lost her mind.

"Madam Ashley!"

Hayden and his parents rushed forward, one to hold Ashley back, and another to cover Madeleine with a blanket, then helping her up.

"Let me go, let me go, I want to drag this woman out, let everyone spit on her till she drowns, this shameless woman!"

Ashley was held by her husband, but she kept kicking, trying to hit Madeleine.

Savannah protected Madeleine, panting heavily.

What was happening!

"Where's Nathan, call Nathan back!"

Savannah ordered loudly.

The housekeepers downstairs didn't dare to come up. Hearing the old lady's shout, one of them replied, "We've already informed the master, he's on his way back."

"Hayden, you've wronged me, haven't you? I've been married to you for over twenty years, given birth to your children, managed this house, and you dare to fool around with that woman. She's your brother's wife, you bastard!"

Unable to break free, Ashley turned around and started crying and cursing at her husband.

Hayden didn't dare to let go for a moment.

"Honey, just calm down. It was just an accident. I swear, I didn't mean for it to happen. It was Madeleine, she wouldn't let go, she kissed me first and I couldn't resist."

"Hayden, you're a damned liar!"

Madeleine's voice echoed with fury.

"It was you who initiated things. Nathan was sick last night, Keith took him to the hospital. Nathan asked me to escort you home to the Porter estate. But you were the one wrapping your arms around me, kissing me first. That's why all this happened."

Madeleine's face turned ashen.

Through Hayden's confession, she understood everything.

Nathan had realized he was being tricked and feigned sickness as an excuse to have Keith take him to the hospital. He still cared about her enough to have Hayden escort her home.

It was her who, intoxicated by the moment, lost control and made a move on Hayden. Hayden, not exactly a gentleman, couldn't resist her advances and her wild actions.

Why did this happen?

Why?

Her reputation was ruined.

When Nathan found out, would he still marry her?

What man would willingly accept being cuckolded?

Especially when the man she cuckolded him with was his own flesh and blood, his brother.

Madeleine's face paled drastically, and a surge of anger and frustration overwhelmed her. Her vision blacked out, and she fainted.
