Chapter 60
“What?”
Noah almost believed it.
He thought she was going to reveal her true identity to him.
When he saw her smile, he knew she did it on purpose.
“Mr. Quincy, I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “love me, love my dog”. I realize that I’m interested in Mr. Quincy recently. So, I’m also investigating the matter that you’re investigating. I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”
“Madeline, you are really a sly woman.”
“Mr. Quincy, you are too humble. I’m not as sly as you. Felix doesn’t have a daughter, right?”
Madeline’s arm hurt badly. She subconsciously pressed the wound on her arm, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.
Noah looked at her without giving her a reply.
However, Madeline had figured out everything.
“Is it fun to trick me?”
She felt something was wrong. It turned out to be Noah’s trap.
She wondered when she started falling into his trap. It was either this time or back at the bar.
Madeline was angry. She walked towards the surface while holding her arm.
She didn’t realize how pale she was because of the pain of the wound.
There was a staircase from the underground pathway leading to the ground.
Madeline wobbled up the stairs. She was exhausted, yet she only walked one-third of the staircase.
When Madeline started to faint, she felt her legs being lifted. She saw the man’s face who carried her and wanted to ask him to let go. However, no words could come out of her mouth.
“Madeline? Madeline!” Noah shouted when he felt Madeline losing consciousness. Then, he ran to the hospital while carrying her in his arms.
Meanwhile, in the bungalow located at Fifth Ring Road’s Hundred Acre Garden.
Angie had been showering in her bathroom since she was picked up by Suzette.
She could still smell the sewers after showering many times. It was smelly and disgusting.
Angie was terrified when she remembered the car that vanished after rushing towards her. She wondered if she had a paranormal encounter.
Perhaps the old man from the Quincy family or Madeline was seeking vengeance.
Angie had goosebumps when she thought about it. She was so afraid that she dared not stay inside the bathroom, so she rushed out with a towel wrapped around her body. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As she was coming out of the bathroom, she screamed because she saw James in his underwear.
“Scoundrel, get out!”
Angie was so angry. She took a shampoo bottle beside her and threw it at James.
Then, she felt a chill. Her towel fell, and her naked body was exposed in front of James.
James was spacing out before he got hit by the shampoo bottle that was thrown at him. Before he could get angry, he saw Angie’s body.
“What are you looking at? Stare any longer and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
Angie could feel James’ stare and hurriedly picked up the towel to cover her body.
“Heh, I thought Ms Angie’s naked body was precious. Turns out I get to see it for free.”
James’ was staring up and down Angie’s body as he teased her.
“Get out!”
“Come on, Ms. Angie. This is my house. You are the one who should get out. Get out now!”
“How dare you!”
“There’s no need to cover yourself. Your body is not as nice as Suzette’s. Do you think I’ll be interested in you?”
“James, you are such a jerk!”
“Slap!” Angie felt a buzz in his head. She was dumbfounded by the slap.
“I’ll break your leg if you dare scold me again! Don’t even think of seducing me with your naked body! Compared to you, I have my own principles! Are you done showering? If you’re done, get out! I’m not done yet!”
Angie was thrown out of the bathroom by James.
Angie was filled with rage after being insulted. She was so aggrieved.
She was supposed to be the noblest woman in Imperia, yet she had to be bullied by this man.
As Angie was imagining herself rushing into the bathroom and stabbing James to death, the bathroom door opened.
When she saw James walking out, she stood still because she was feeling guilty perhaps.
“Don’t block my way! Get lost!” James kicked Angie before she could even scold him.
“How dare you assault me! Aren’t you afraid that I might complain to my mother? What do you think my mother will do if I tell her you are interested in me?” Angie stared at James viciously as she tried her best to get even with him. She even mentioned Suzette.
When James heard her, he was stunned. Then, he laughed.
“Ms. Angie. Good idea. Go ahead. I’ll be waiting. Let’s see who your mother will believe.”
Angie was surprised by how relaxed James was. She wondered how this ugly man with no future had the confidence to think Suzette would choose to believe him over her.
“Let me warn you, Brat. I like your mother. Unfortunately, you are not my child. I won’t allow you to make a mess on my territory. If you want to stay here, just be obedient. Otherwise, you can get out of this place right now!”
James approached Angie and threatened her with a low voice.
Angie felt scared. She leaned back subconsciously and was forced into the corner. She tried to punch James, but James caught her wrist.
“You better save your strength. Otherwise, you might not even get to eat!”
James shook Angie’s hand off and walked away casually.
Angie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw James leaving. Before she could catch her breath, James returned.
“Nothing on your body is real. Does someone like you fantasize about marrying into a rich family? Is daydreaming a trend nowadays?”
“James, you’re such a jerk!” Angie scolded.
She was trembling when she saw James.
“You don’t need to know whether I’m a jerk or not. I just need your mother to know that. Go and wear some clothes. If you get a cold and die, there won’t be anyone to take care of you!” James said with malice.
Every word of his crushed Angie’s dignity.
When she saw James walk away, Angie fell to the floor and passed out.
