Aggressive Wife

Chapter 66

The Quincy residence.

After Noah greeted a few guests, he went into the study as he allowed Mr. Charles to be in charge of the banquet. The large display in the room lit up before him. It showed live surveillance footage of the different locations in the residence.

Noah immediately noticed the footage of Madeline and Thomas. He enlarged it and watched them as if it was a movie. He felt moved to see Colt leading Madeline around the place joyfully.

Noah had never seen Colt getting close to a woman before. He had the urge to join them in the banquet. However, he was afraid to do so.

Noah was worried that Madeline would feel threatened and distance herself from him. It would ruin Colt's birthday. Therefore, he decided to suppress his desires and observe them on the screen instead.

A sudden knock on the door alerted Noah. He swiftly switched the footage and sat down at his desk before letting the person outside in.

Wayne walked into the room hurriedly and said, "Mr. Quincy, Felix is awake."

"No time to waste," Noah said as he stood up. He walked towards the elevator beside the cupboard that was opposite his desk.

"Mr. Quincy, it's Colton's birthday today. Perhaps you should stay," Wayne said. He was aware that Felix was important to Noah, but Colton was even more important to him.

Noah hesitated for a moment. He said, "He'll have a great time as long as Madeline is by his side. Stay here and make sure that no one notices that I'm gone."

"Mr. Quincy, Mr. Charles is already in charge, allow me to accompany you instead," Wayne said. "There's no need for that," Noah replied. He stepped into the elevator and closed the doors.

The elevator led to the underground garage. A black Rolls Royce zoomed out from the rear exit not long after.

Angie was sneaking around the Quincy residence and finally made it in. She hid downstairs and observed Noah as he drank a glass of juice that was drugged. He walked upstairs after that.

Angie felt a burst of excitement as it went according to plan. She was worried that it would not work as it was crowded. However, Noah fell for it and went upstairs. It was the perfect opportunity.

The drug would take effect half an hour after being consumed. Therefore, she had to act quickly and follow him upstairs. Although she has been here numerous times, she was still uncertain of the interior layout.

She sneaked past the crowd and made her way to the front of the study. She was filled with joy as she was about to succeed. She gripped the doorknob and felt as if she was about to open Pandora's box in her dreams.

Before she could turn the door knob, a person embraced her from behind. She could feel the warmth of the tight embrace and the hot breaths coming from behind. She lost her senses as she was about to speak.

Madeline and Thomas had been tailing Angie to the residence. However, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that Angie had gone to look for Noah.

"Shall we go upstairs and have a look?" Thomas asked. "It's best to not disturb the others," Madeline replied. "That scumbag isn't a nobody. We can't just watch from the sidelines as he gets married to my stepmom. If she mistreats me no one would come to my rescue," Thomas said.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Thomas began to put up an act. Madeline decided to go with him to prevent stirring up a scene. She could not deny the fact that Thomas was Noah's son. Besides, she was also against Noah getting married to Angie.

Thomas led Madeline upstairs. As they made it upstairs, they were greeted with the sight of Angie and a man kissing in a tight embrace. Madeline swiftly covered Thomas' eyes. The man carried Angie and fled the scene as they were noticed.

Madeline was dazed while Thomas was confused. "Mommy, now that the bad woman likes someone else, does that mean she won't get married to that scumbag?" Thomas asked. "It seems like it…" Madeline replied.

"Yay! That's great! That scumbag's wealth will be mine in the future!" Thomas uttered joyfully. Madeline was taken aback and quickly covered his mouth. "Keep it down…" she said.

The Golden Dome International District.

Noah went to the medical laboratory intensive care unit on the 86th floor. Felix had tubes connected all over his body as he lay in the hospital bed feebly.

Dylan and the medical staff did their best to keep Felix alive. However, the grim reaper could take his life at any moment.

Felix was seemingly desperate to speak as he saw that Noah had arrived. "Mr. Turner, do you still recognize me?" Noah asked. Felix looked at him and nodded.

"Mr. Turner, did Madeline kill my grandpa?" Noah continued. Before Noah entered the ward, Dylan had urged him to ask all the questions he had as Felix was running out of time. Therefore, Noah had to get straight to the point.

"No…" Felix muttered. "No? Are you saying that it wasn't Madeline?" Noah asked. Felix nodded in response. Noah let out a breath of relief but it was followed by a sense of realization. He had wronged Madeline.

"Do you know who killed my grandpa?" Noah continued. Felix was agitated as if he suddenly remembered something. "Who is it?" Noah asked. "It was…" Felix was unable to finish his words.

The heart rate monitor sounded as he flatlined. Dylan and the medical staff attempted to revive him.

Noah walked outside as he was lost in his thoughts.

It wasn't Madeline after all! How is that possible? It was her in the surveillance footage!
