Chapter 40 Sebastian's Logic

• "Because Madeline isn't a b*stard. She's Michael and Crystal's biological daughter! Joel and Quincy aren't b*stards either—they're Madeline and Sebastian's biological sons!" Nigel growled.
• Phoebe was too stunned to speak. She had been leaning forward against the table, but now, she fell back onto her seat. "What did you just say, Nigel? A-Are you drunk? Did you go drinking? W-Why are you spitting nonsense?"
• "I'm not saying nonsense. Everything that I'm telling you is true…" Nigel waved his hand around dejectedly. "I'm really tired, Phoebe… We're different. You're a housewife who enjoys the life of a wealthy woman, and all you do is eat, drink, and sleep. I have to work, and I'm really tired… I don't expect you to take any of the burdens off my shoulders, but I just want you to stop causing trouble for me, okay? If you really want to get out, just give Madeline a call and beg her to put in a good word for you. You need to make sure she gives in and agrees so that you can get out of there soon. I can't think of any more ideas apart from that."
