Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 17

She was more than aware of the flow of the Grant family's liquid assets!

400 million was not a small sum. Even if it were to be collected within the day, it would have to be through shady means.

That was why she brought up the Quincy family to attempt to convince Bruno.

"Can you really persuade Noah to marry you with the Global Ambassador title? I've seen the way he treats you throughout the years. That's wishful thinking on your part. You forget a life still stands in between the Grant and Quincy family!"

Bruno saw through all of it. The one who caused the death of Gordon Quincy and betrayed Noah was someone from the Grant household!

Noah showed the Grants mercy for Angie's sake but having them tie the knot again wouldn't be easy!

Angie complained, "Don't you have any faith in my charms, Dad? I've done so much charity in Mr. Gordon's name. Noah might be a block of ice but he'd have to look my way at some point. I'll definitely be a lady of the Quincy family!"

"Why don't you ask Noah for the 400 million then? 400 million is a mere pocket change for them! Does he think it's beneath his dignity?"

"Dad, these are critical times! How can I ask him?! What will he think of us if he finds out we don't even have 400 million?! I don't want a marriage with no dignity. Besides, he can't find out about the charity committee or the persona I've worked so hard to create will be for nothing!"

"No! You can tell me that the world is ending tomorrow and the answer will still be no!"

That was because he did not have that much!

After Bruno made his decision, he stopped paying attention to Angie and went upstairs.

Angie was furious. Feelings of grief and indignation rushed over her.

What am I supposed to do now? Dad won't help me. How on earth am I going to get 400 million?!
