Chapter 78
Angie was furious when she heard about the news.
"I knew that guy wasn't dependable, but you two didn't listen and kept trying to push your daughter down a fire pit!"
Angie had returned to the apartment and sat on the couch, venting her anger. Although she wanted to get some money from Jerry to return to her luxurious life, she always felt he was not good enough for her. The one in her heart had always been Noah!
Now that she had something that could be used against Madeline, she might be able to make a comeback and return to the peak.
After hesitating a moment, Angie went to her room to dress up. After putting on her makeup, she rushed toward Quinton Corporation. Noah should be in his office at this time…
"Noah! Noah, I'm here!"
The Quinton Corporation, where she could once freely enter, had become a forbidden area to Angie. The bodyguards under Wayne were all on guard when they saw her.
Angie was forced to wait outside under the sun for three hours. It made her lips dry, and she almost fainted. When she finally saw that familiar figure, she could not help but cry.
Noah did not even look back, but his eyes were filled with disgust. "Why are you here?"
Angie was already in front of him, so he could not dodge and finally spoke. However, his dark eyes carried a bone-piercing coldness.
The coldness and indifference in Noah's eyes made Angie instantly disappointed...
"Noah, I have something to tell you! The current Madeline is actually the same as the past Madeline! She didn't die! You must stay away from her. She harmed Grandpa, so she might make a move on you too! She has always been wicked and could do anything…"
Angie held the last bargaining chip and continued with her old tricks. She kept framing Madeline, trying to arouse the hatred in Noah's heart, so she could use him to get rid of Madeline. She continuously talked about the past and the "crimes" that Madeline had committed. However, she did not realize Noah's expression had worsened.
"Angie, you better know your place. Otherwise, your situation will be much worse than now!"
Noah shouted and interrupted Angie, who was sobbing. He had felt guilty for wronging Madeline in the past, so he naturally would not allow others to slander her.
Angie was frightened by his shout and was immediately stunned. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with confusion, but she dared not say another word. After all, Madeline's so-called crimes were all fabricated…
However, why did Noah seem unsurprised that Madeline did not die?
Could it be that he already knows Madeline's true identity and the truth of the past? Does this mean that he knows everything now?!
Seeing Noah's dark expression, Angie felt guilty and frightened. How could she still dare to speak? She could only freeze in place in shock.
"Noah, I beg you. For the sake of our years of friendship, please don't treat me so coldly. It's fine even if we're only ordinary friends, so it won't be too embarrassing. The Grant family would also have a strand
of hope…"
Angie was unsure of how much Noah knew, so she did not dare to be reckless. She could only settle for less and beg Noah to leave some hope for the Grant family."
Angie cried so much that her voice became hoarse, and Noah's cold eyes finally revealed a hint of pity.
"If you know your place, from now on, everything in the past will be forgiven, and the Quincy family won't make it hard for you too." Although Noah still had a dark expression, he still showed some mercy…
Angie was unsatisfied inside but did not dare to be greedy anymore. "Noah, don't worry. I'll… I'll be obedient and not cause any trouble for you.
"Of course, it's on the premise that Grandpa's matter doesn't have anything to do with you or the Grant family." As Angie was pretending to be innocent, Noah's voice sounded. His words were like lighting, instantly stunning her.
"I… It's Madeline who harmed Grandpa. It doesn't have anything to do with me…" Her heart was by her throat, and she was so frightened that she could force herself to hold on.
Noah's patience was soon exhausted, so how could he allow Angie to continue pestering him? He turned around, went into the car, closed the car windows, and left ruthlessly.
"Sir, where are we going? Are we going home?" Wayne looked behind from the front passenger seat and waited for Noah's orders.
"Go to the Maple Forest Villa," Noah said indifferently.
Wayne was so shocked that he thought he misheard Noah.
"Huh?" Wayne mustered the courage to ask him again.
"Wayne, if you have hearing problems, you can retire earlier and go back to Alewell to work in the fields," Noah spoke calmly, but his words stunned Wayne.
It was not easy for him to calm himself before he turned to the driver and said, "To the Maple Forest Villa. Quickly!"
Wayne was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. He was afraid that if he was a second too late, he would be arranged to go to Alewell. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After half an hour, they arrived at the Maple Forest Villa.
Under the anxious gazes of Wayne and the bodyguards, Noah rang the doorbell for the first time ever.
"Didn't you say you'll only come over after you finish working? Why are you here so…" When Madeline heard the doorbell ring as she cooked steak, she thought Elise had come over earlier.
However, she discovered it was Noah when she opened the door.
Madeline's smile froze as she said, "Mr. Quincy, why are you here? Could it be that you have brain problems after injuring your abdomen and can't find your house?"
Madeline's slender body blocked the door as her hand held the doorknob tightly. It was clear that she did not plan on letting Noah in.
She had felt guilty after he blocked the attack on her. However, he appeared in front of her again, and it was only two hours since she treated him. Moreover, he was persistent and kept teasing her.
Madeline kept dodging Noah until it was finally time for Noah to return to the company for the board meeting. Thinking that she finally escaped, that persistent bastard soon came over again.
"Why does it seem like Ms. Madeline doesn't welcome me? Aren't you too heartless? I'm considered your savior!" Upon seeing that the door was about to be closed again, Noah spoke while being on moral high ground.
"Mhmm, you've indeed saved me, so I'm grateful to you. However, you did it voluntarily, and your injury seems much better now, so you have to keep bothering me, right?"
Madeline did not plan on showing any mercy to Noah.
