Abusive Wife

Chapter 286

Madeline was still thinking about Bruno’s goal for coming to this place, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. He was very out of place.

That person was none other than Noah. He was always indifferent and cold, but he was snapping away at Mackenzie using his camera with such passion that it was as if he was possessed.

The bodyguards around him were dutifully clearing away all the journalists and reporters who were in his way.

When the reporters saw what Noah was doing, they mistakenly thought that he did not allow anyone to take photos of Mackenzie. They all kept their cameras in their camera bags.

Although it was important for them to get first-hand, exclusive news, their lives were way more important than that.

“Wait, is that Mr. Quincy? I really didn’t expect that he could be so fond of his own daughter.” Elise commented with her arms all folded.

Dylan chipped in, “You can expect him to behave like that, given how he has treated Maddie. He’s really a family man who adores his own wife and daughter.”

“Say, why are we organizing this fashion show?” Madeline changed the topic and interrupted Elise’s commentary about Noah.

Elise replied confidently, “Of course, it’s a huge advertisement for the boutique. See, isn’t the result stunning?”

“Then why do you think I have hired so many reporters? They are all deleting their photos now.” Madeline let out a sigh.

Those reporters were really cowardly. They all scrambled to delete their photos which had Mackenzie in them after Noah had shot a vehement glare at them.

This phenomenon even seemed to affect all the reporters there.

If she didn’t put this to a stop, only Noah’s camera would have the photos that had Mackenzie walking the runway in it.

Elise finally understood. Madeline and Elise turned their gaze to Dylan at the same time.

Dylan shuddered as he waved his hands wildly, “You will tell him yourself. I still want to live for many years.”

“We are not that familiar with Mr. Quincy. You know that.” Elise tried to coerce Dylan.

Madeline nodded in approval. She would not go tell Noah off herself because she knew Noah all too well. That guy must be feeling ecstatic deep down in his heart, and there was no way he would allow others to have even a photo of his precious daughter.

If she were the one to go persuade him, Noah would come up with some weird requests for her to complete before he would agree to stop his antics.

“Are you kidding me? Among us three, Maddie is the one who’s closest to him. If you don’t even dare to interrupt him, who am I to do that?” Dylan shook his head vigorously in protest.

Elise hit him on the head, “You’re useless! You can’t even repay my kindness of taking you in!”

“I never asked you to take me in in the first place!”

The two of them quickly got into an argument and Elise began chasing Dylan. They disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

This was a good development. They had not seen each other for days, but these two were getting more comfortable with each other with every passing day. Madeline took in a deep breath and decided to talk to Noah by herself.

The worst that could happen was Noah asking to hug or kiss her. That was no big deal for her.

“Ms. Madeline,” Someone blocked her way. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Madeline looked up and felt herself tensing up. It was that weird sibling duo that Rowan had brought with him.

Now, the two of them were staring intently at her, which gave her goosebumps.

To her surprise, Annalise was not with them at this moment. Madeline glanced at where they were sitting just now to check where she was.

“Annalise has accidentally dirtied her skirt. I sent the bodyguard to help get a change of attire for her.” It seemed that Rowan knew what Madeline was wondering about, so he explained to her what had happened.

It seemed like Annalise always had some problems with her skirt or dress.

Madeline displayed a faint smile and she asked in a monotone, “Mr. Solace, do you have any business with me?”

Although she used to get along quite well with Rowan, Annalise had been spoiling her plans and interfering with her life again and again. Even though she should not extend her wrath to Rowan, after

everything that had happened, she was no longer interested in talking to anyone from the Solace family.

“I am very interested in your boutique. Ms. Madeline, would you be interested in a partnership with the Solace family?”

“This boutique belongs to my friend. If you want a business partner, you should talk to her instead.” Madeline pointed at Elise who was now ducking behind people and spying on them.

“Is that so? Lorren asked me to talk to you. He said that as long as I…”

“Mr. Solace, Lorren wanted to venture into the local market with his Camelot and Hale brand. It is in your best interest to form a partnership with the likes of him. Why do you insist on talking to me about this?” Madeline interrupted him.

This was because she knew that Rowan would just spew some unconvincing excuses to explain himself.

She was not arrogant in the slightest. Everything was pointing to the fact that Rowan had some agenda in approaching her.

“Indeed, I wanted to be acquainted with you through our connection, Lorren. Ever since I returned to the country, you have shown me a lot of hospitality. I never had the chance to show my gratitude. Not only day, but my sister has also caused so much unpleasant trouble for you, which only makes it hard for me to even express my gratitude or apology.”

Rowan was being very sincere.

Madeline raised her brow a little and a smile formed on her lips, “It’s not a big deal. You don’t need to stand on ceremony, Mr. Solace.”

Rowan still did not state his true intentions, so she did not want to shoot the breeze with him anymore.

Seeing that she was leaving, one of the guys next to Rowan had an anxious expression on his face. He abruptly reached out and grabbed Madeline’s arm.

“Ms. Madeline, it seems that there’s something wrong with your body!”

If this guy didn’t look so harmless and stopped pulling her the moment she stopped in her tracks, Madeline would have thrown him to the floor.

“Are you insulting me?”

That guy looked confused as he denied, “I did not.”

“Didn’t you mean that I have some kind of illness?” Madeline took a few steps to close their gap. She was being very assertive.

The guy shook his head hastily, “I am not scolding you at all. Look, I am a doctor, and I can see that something’s off with your body. Have you been lacking sleep lately? Or will you fall asleep without any warning? It would feel like someone has pulled the plug on you all of a sudden.”

A flash of shock appeared in Madeline’s eyes. She had only disclosed her illness to Noah and people who were close to her. Even if the Solaces wanted to dig into this matter, there should not be a way for them to do so.

“This is my name card. Please believe me.” The guy handed her a name card.

It read: Alexander Solace. He really was a doctor, and he also belong to a famous biological research institute that was located overseas.

As Madeline mulled over Alexander’s identity, Elise and Dylan found Noah who was lost in his joy of taking photos of Mackenzie. Mackenzie was now taking the runway for the second time.

“What do you want?” Noah’s brows shot up and he was very impatient.

“Mr. Quincy, if you don’t stop taking photos here, you might lose your wife.” Dylan jerked his chin in Madeline’s direction.

When Noah looked in her direction, he happened to see Alexander whispering something in Madeline’s ears. Of course, he could not hear what Alexander had said, but Madeline was covering her mouth and giggling happily.

Alexander even shot a glare at Noah. The two of them appeared very intimate.

Noah felt a wave of unspeakable anger rising in him. He tossed his camera to Wayne and began stomping toward Madeline.

The moment he left, Elise immediately made an announcement to the reporters, “Mr. Quincy has some matter to deal with at the moment. I implore you guys to take more photos of our models today.”

“Ms. Elise, are you sure we are authorized to take more photos?” One of the reporters who was glared at sternly by Noah couldn’t hello but ask. He stole a glance at Wayne too.

Wayne waved his hand and said, “Do as you please.”

Only then the reporters resumed their job. They were clicking away furiously at the models on stage.
