Aggressive Wife

Chapter 268

"Mr. Solace, you've trained your men well!" Noah said sarcastically in an angry tone, and he approached Liam furiously.

Liam was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

"Is this usually how you provoke Ms. Solace? Her personality had drastically shifted. Do you want to leave the Solace family right away, or do you want to face punishment from the Old Mr. Solace?" Rowan was displeased with Liam a long time ago, so he used this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"Mr. Solace, please forgive me this time; I won't dare again!" Liam begged Rowan while signaling Annalise.

She then realized that Liam had deliberately gotten himself punished so that Rowan did not need to punish her.

The daughter of the bitch is indeed my enemy too!

"The Solace family can't tolerate an uneducated person like you; you should leave." Rowan shook Liam away.

Once he had left, his life and fate would be fully dependent on Noah's decision.

"Mackenzie, please forgive me. I was wrong. I was totally wrong. Please ask Mr. Quincy to spare me!" Liam knelt down, and he begged Mackenzie instead of Noah.

She was confused and did not know how to react.

Liam's action had officially enraged Noah. Noah raised his hand, and his bodyguards stepped forward and covered Liam's mouth and dragged him away.

Annalise had tears in her eyes; she was merely looking from afar but did not dare to intercede.

She was afraid to waste Liam's sacrifices, and she was even afraid of provoking Noah. She was worried that Grandpa would come to Imperia if the situation worsened.

If Grandpa saw Mackenzie's face, he might...

"Zeke, it's not safe here. Let's go home." Noah insisted on taking Mackenzie home.

She turned her head and refused to look at him. She muttered, "If you let me stay here for a few days, I won't tell my godfather that you bullied me."

Who the heck is her godfather? My men couldn't find out who he was up until now.

"Mr. Quincy, please rest assured. I'll look after her." Rowan helped Mackenzie persuade him.

Noah frowned; he was displeased.

Annalise came up with an idea, and she also persuaded Noah, "Noah, Zeke is so cute, everyone will like her and pamper her. Don't worry about leaving her here. I will definitely get along well with her."

Hmph. Once Noah is gone, Mackenzie is going to get it from me.

"You can stay here, but you have to promise me something."

Mackenzie knew Noah gave it, so she turned to look at him. She asked, "What is it?"

"You have to video call with me for half an hour every night." Noah had to find ways to ease the tension between Zeke and him.

"It's a deal." Mackenzie finally smiled at him.

Noah felt relieved but bitter at the same time.

Noah left two reliable bodyguards with her before leaving. He also put a tracking system in her phone so he could see where she was at all times.

Rowan had to deal with his work as soon as Noah left. He asked Mackenzie sorrily, "Zeke, do you want to play in my company?"

Mackenzie shook her head. "I'll just stay at home. Noah said he would buy me toys."

"Okay, you can go to Mr. Williams or call me if you need anything." Rowan warned Annalise not to bully Mackenzie before he left.

He was still worried when he was leaving. So, he asked his assistant, Benjamin, to come over to look after Mackenzie.

"Zeke, let's go over to the swing, shall we?" Annalise tried to bring her away from the bodyguards.

Mackenzie smiled innocently and replied, "Thanks auntie, but I want to go back to my room and wait for Noah to get me toys."

"It's still early; I'll push you in the swing." She grabbed her wrist forcefully. Ha! You're so tiny and fragile, yet you dare to provoke me? I can break your wrist easily now.

"A-Ah! Waa… Waa… Auntie, don't pinch me!" Mackenzie yelled suddenly, breaking free from Annalise's grip. She dashed into Williams' arms.

Williams was in his fifties, and he had a granddaughter who was around her age. He was concerned when he saw her weeping, and he asked, "Zeke, what's wrong?"

"Auntie pinched my arm." She showed Williams her reddened arm.

She noticed that Annalise wanted to pinch her a while ago, but before she actually pinched her, Mackenzie quickly yelled for attention. Her arm was actually red because she struggled when Noah tried to hug her.

She was born with fair skin, and as a child, her skin was tender. So, it turned red easily.

Williams served Old Mr. Solace before Rowan; he was being entrusted to serve him now. If Williams believed that she abused children, then the reputation that she built up painstakingly over the year would be gone.

"How can you lie at such a young age? Didn't your mother teach you to be honest? Mr. Williams, look at my hand; she pinched me just because I wanted to bring her over to the swing." Annalise also complained.

She revealed the scars on her hand; she had pinched her hand behind her back. It was reddened, and the skin almost peeled off.

"Erm… Zeke, did you pinch Annalise?" Williams could not tell who was telling the truth, so he asked.

Mackenzie glanced at Williams timidly, then at Annalise in fear. She held back her tears and shook her head, then she said, "I was wrong; I won't dare to do it again."

"Stop victimizing yourself; you pinched me hard just now! But I won't blame you because I promised Noah to take good care of you." Annalise knelt down and patted her on the back.

Mackenzie's body trembled, and the bodyguards quickly stopped Annalise's action.

Annalise gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take you to eat delicious food, so don't be angry with me, alright?"

"Auntie, I'm not mad at you."

"Hey, I'm young; stop calling me auntie."

"But you look older than my mom. My kindergarten teacher said we should address older women as aunties."

Annalise was extremely angry, but she suppressed her emotions and said, "Alright, it's up to you."

In the kitchen, Annalise put on gloves to take out the egg tarts from the oven. She saw Mackenzie looking at her provocatively as she tried to touch the oven.

Annalise recognised her intention immediately and placed her palms on the oven before Mackenzie could.

"Zeke, why did you push me into the oven?"

Hmph. I can also play the victim.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
