Aggressive Wife

Chapter 241

"You don't have to apologize, Mr. Solace. Just keep an eye on your sister. This is Imperia, not Doskoustein.”

Madeline was not fond of Annalise. For that reason, she did not take Rowan’s words seriously. Although Rowan came to apologize, he was not genuine at all. In fact, his intention was to give Madeline warnings.

However, no matter how rich and powerful the Solace family was in the world, they had to give in to Noah when they were in Imperia. In fact, Madeline was using Noah’s power to suppress Rowan. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“The Solace family and the Quincy family are business partners. As Noah’s wife, I bet you’re generous and decent as what people said,” Rowan said scornfully. He leaned on the sofa casually with a paper in his hand. The paper was full of Madeline’s information.

“Well, since the Solace family and the Quincy family are close, I hope you’re not mad at me for not letting Ms. Solace do what she wants. If Old Mr. Solace finds out, it’s hard to explain to him.”

Is he trying to suppress me with the Solace family’s power? Damn it! He’s overconfident!

“No, of course, I’m not mad. In fact, I’m here to invite you for dinner at Phoenix International tomorrow night. Annalise and I will wait for you there.” As soon as Rowan finished his words, he hung up.

Hearing that, Madeline could not help but roll her eyes. She was not bothered at all.

“Ms. Madeline, Mr. Grant said he will only sign the agreement with you. He said if he doesn’t see you in person, you will never know the cause of your mother’s death.” Albert handed the agreement of acquiring Grant Corporation to Madeline.

Too many things happened in the last few days, and Madeline did not have time for Bruno. However, Bruno thought Madeline deliberately ignored him and called Albert almost every day.

"The cause of my mother's death?" Madeline stood up. Her face darkened. She always thought Suzette was her mother, but it turned out that she was not. So who was her biological mother?

In the past, Madeline had hired a private detective to look into Bruno’s ex-wives. However, there was no information at all, not even a photo.

“I think Mr. Grant had undiscovered stories about your mother’s death,” said Albert.

Bruno stammered when he was talking to Albert over the phone. Albert tried to ask him, but Bruno refused to reveal any details. He seemed vigilant.

“He’s desperate and is willing to do anything now. He can make up any stories he wants,” Madeline said and walked out the door.

Madeline did not feel any love or affection from her parents since she was a child. For that reason, she was not curious about her mother. She only wanted to know if her mother left her deliberately or unintentionally.

Hearing what Madeline said, Albert quickly sent more people to keep an eye on Bruno. If Bruno had something up in his sleeve, they could stop him before his attack.

“I was going to meet Mr. Grant at the coffee shop, but he said that he broke his leg and he couldn't walk. We have to go to his place instead. He lives in a slum on the north side. The condition at that place is very bad. Do you think it’s a trap?” Albert explained while driving.

Staring out of the window, Madeline shrugged and replied, “He’s injured. There’s nothing he can do.”

Buzz!

When Madeline was pondering, her phone suddenly vibrated. There was an incoming message from Thomas.

Seeing that, she immediately replied.

Madeline: You can play computer games for one hour. After that, Mr. Charles will fetch you to the kindergarten.

Thomas: Mommy, but I’m worried about you. How about I stay at home for a few more days to take care of you?

Madeline: I’m fine now. I don’t need you to take care of me.

Thomas: But what if Daddy asks? I’ve to cover for you, and I can only do that if I’m at home.

Madeline: You told Daddy that I went out?

Madeline was worried. Although she did not see Noah when she woke up, she was scared that he would nag her.

Thomas and Colton kept pestering her, and Noah kept nagging her when they saw her going out. Even the butler prepared a lot of food for her to make her stay at home.

Madeline could not stand it anymore and sneaked out.

At first, Albert also nagged Madeline as per Noah’s instruction. However, he shut up as soon as Madeline glared at him.

Thomas: Don’t worry, Mommy. Daddy doesn’t know. I’m always on your side.

Madeline: Okay. You can have fun on the computer for another half an hour.

Thomas: No, Mommy, please.

Madeline: The decision is final.

“Ms. Madeline, we’re here.” Albert opened the door.

Madeline was dumbfounded when she saw what was in front of her. The place was more shabby than she imagined. It was deserted.

“He’s desperate and is willing to do anything now. He can make up any stories he wants,” Madeline said and walked out the door.

The infrastructure in the area was poor, and the people living in the slum were in poverty. There was excrement and garbage everywhere. Not only that, there was not even a clean pavement to walk on.

As far as Madeline knew, Bruno sold two of his houses. He should not have ended up in a place like this.

“Mrs. Grant cheated all his money, and when Mr. Grant and Kingsley went to ask for it, Mrs. Grant asked his men to break Mr. Grant’s leg,” Albert explained when he saw that Madeline was puzzled.

Hearing that, Madeline had mixed feelings. Bruno adored Suzette so much. How could a shrewd man like Bruno be deceived by his own woman?

“I think Mr. Grant wants you to help Kingsley. Heard that he’s sick.” Albert was startled too when he found out Bruno, a selfish man would think for others.

Madeline could not help but frown. However, a homeless man opposite her kept staring at her. She felt uncomfortable.

When Madeline was still hesitating about whether to let Albert bring Bruno out, she heard a screech of brakes and footsteps behind her.

Madeline was shocked. She grabbed the dagger in her pocket. However, when she saw the familiar Maybach, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down the dagger in her hand.

“Mrs. Quincy, please wait a moment." Wayne hurried into the building with his men. After a moment, they carried Bruno and Kingsley out with stretchers.

Madeline glanced at the Maybach several times. It was parked quite a distance away. She was not sure if there was anyone in the car.

“Didn’t you say you want to acquire Grant Corporation? Where’s the agreement? I can sign the agreement now but I want to get the money right away!”

Lying on the stretcher, Bruno seemed to lose a lot of weight. Not only was his hair messy, but he also had a lot of gray hair.

Kingsley, lying next to Bruno, was in a bad condition. He looked sick. It seemed that he was dying.

“What do you want the money for? Do you still want to make a comeback?" Madeline glared at Bruno.

"It's none of your business! Just give me the money!" Bruno did not trust anyone now. Even his wife wanted him to die. Only Kingsley was loyal to him. For that reason, he wanted to save Kingsley no matter what.
