Chapter 32 What Else Is Owed?

The hallway of the hospital.

Noah was welcomed by Angie’s powerful screams the moment he stepped foot onto the floor of her ward.

He had never heard the meek woman make that kind of noise.

“It’s daylight robbery! A billion dollars! I can’t believe you’d demand that!

“And you want my company? Have you no shame?

“Get out! Get out of my room! Get out now!”

Behind Noah, Wayne rubbed his nose.

Judging by her thundering voice, Ms. Grant appeared alive and well.

The situation at the door seemed out of hand.

Madeline stood by the door while Albert tried his earnest to keep the door from closing. Looking disheveled, Angie menacingly pried open Albert’s fingers.

Noah went up and stood next to Madeline. With downcast eyes, he shifted his gaze past her heaving chest and onto the document in her hand. He narrowed his eyes. “You’re asking for a billion dollars in compensation?”

Keeping her head down, Madeline flicked the paper and replied in a flat tone, “What? Are you planning to pay for Ms. Angie?

“Aw~ It’s enviable that your relationship with Ms. Angie is going strong.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Madeline fixated on Noah with her sultry eyes while handing the document over to him without qualms.

Noah took a glance at the paper, reading the woman’s greediness between the lines.

“Shareholding rights can be used to offset the damages in the event the person responsible has no means to pay?

“Madeline, are you trying to get a piece of Grant Corporation?”

Madeline was forthcoming with her intentions. “You’re a smart man, Mr. Quincy. It saves me time and effort to chat with you, but I’m sure the Quincies can reach into their deep pockets to save Grant Corporation.”

“Ha. You have game, Madeline.”

The woman ruined Angie and took advantage of her in the hospital. Noah found it hard to believe that there was nothing going on between these women.

With a fake smile plastered across her face, Madeline took a step forward and turned the contract in Noah’s hand to the page with bank details. “You flatter me. This is my bank account number. I’d appreciate it if the amount is paid in full. I don’t like to be owed money.”

Noah did not bargain down the price and simply tossed the document to Wayne to handle the payment.

Madeline should be feeling over the moon for receiving the full payment of a billion dollars right there and then. For some reason, it drove Madeline up the

wall that Noah went to bat for Angie.

He still had her back even though Angie was ruined. He did not bat an eyelid at forking out a billion dollars.

With Madeline’s face sinking despite getting the money, Noah drew close and hovered against her ear.

His husky and sensual voice sent tingles to Madeline’s every being.

“What else does Angie owe you other than the billion dollars?”

Pushing him away, Madeline took a step back.

“What are you talking about, Mr. Quincy? I don’t get you…” Madeline played innocent as she lifted her head to look at him and blatantly lied.

Noah studied her face as though trying to read her mind through his dim eyes.

Just then, Angie, who was

eavesdropping from behind the door, acted like she had just seen Noah at the door. She opened the door and rushed

out in tears.

“Noah?

“You’re finally here, Noah!”

Having approached Noah, Angie was about to play the poor damsel in distress and fall into Noah’s arms when the latter took a step back. Angie lost her footing and fell flat on the cold marble tiles of the hospital floor with a thud. She was like a dead fish plopped onto a chopping board.

“Hahaha!”

Madeline was in stitches.

Wayne was observant and sensible enough to rush over and help Angie up.

Despite aching all over from the fall, Angie would not blame Noah for it. She accepted Wayne’s gesture of helping her up.

She then fragilely drew near to Noah. Nerving herself, she grabbed his arm.

“Boo hoo. Noah, I knew you’d come and

see me. That woman hit me and blackmailed me. You got to do something about it!”

Since Madeline got the money, she wanted to leave the matter at that so as not to make it look like she and Angie had bad blood. To Madeline’s surprise, Angie pointed the finger at her just as Madeline was leaving.

“Are you saying that you don’t want me to go? Alright then. I’ll stay and be the witness to your shady charity dealings. I have time anyway.”

Composed, Madeline sauntered toward Angie.

Angie turned black in the face.

The woman had it in for her!

Madeline had the nerve to bring up the charity in Noah’s presence.

Angie blamed herself for not putting up until the wretched woman had disappeared.

She wished she could turn back time.

Noah, the thing that happened during the charity event is on me. The situation got out of hand because I didn’t manage my people well. I had no idea they would have the audacity to go behind my back and pull that stunt!”

Madeline jumped in. “Oh, my. Are you saying that our charitable princess was framed? It didn’t seem so.”

“Madeline, you…” Angie’s face turned pale from anger. Her eyes were about to roll to the back of her head as her body gave out.

“I’m talking to you. Don’t play dead. I’m not Mr. Quincy. The damsel in distress act doesn’t work on me. You were trying to kill me with your claws a minute ago. Look, my hand’s bleeding.”

Looking nervous, Madeline walked up and pricked Angie with a needle. Angle cried out in pain.

There was a bleeding scratch on Madeline’s hand. It irked Noah that Madeline flashed her arm around him.

Madeline was throwing shade at him.

How did she know that Angie loved to put up a fragile front before him?

With that in mind, Noah’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach.

Angie hated Madeline’s guts for stopping her fainting spell.

She wanted nothing more than to rip Madeline apart if Noah was not around.

“You got what you came here for, Ms. Grant. You should leave,” Noah said to end the war between the two women.

“No problem. I should leave you to catch up with your sister-in-law, Mr. Quincy.” Madeline smiled before turning on her heel and leaving.

Angie was hopping mad!

“Look at the woman, Noah!”

Angie was resentful. What did she mean by sister-in-law?

Noah was hers, to begin with!

All women with the name Madeline

should die for all she cared!
