Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 74

“Angie, I truly wish that were true and you had nothing to do with Grandpa’s death. You take care,” Noah ended the conversation. He took long strides toward the door and left Angie alone in the ballroom.

Angie crumbled to the ground as she watched Noah take his leave, feeling utterly crushed and defeated. At this moment, Suzette Grant, who had been hiding and observing everything all this time, came over to her daughter and extended her arm. “Angie, get yourself up first. We have to replan our strategy now that things have come to this.”

“Mom, where were you just now? You didn’t see what happened, they all ganged up against me!” Angie cried.

“Alright there, darling, don’t cry. Your father called me just now. He says there might still be a chance to turn things around,” Suzette tried to reassure her daughter.

“A chance to turn things around? For real?” Angie eyes widened with both interest and caution.

“Why would I lie to my own daughter? Come on, let’s look for your father and ask him,” she persuaded Angie, motioning for her daughter to take her hand.

“Alright, let’s go,” Angie said, feeling hopeful once again. “Oh, by the way, Noah seems to be investigating what happened years ago. Do you think he’ll trace it back to me? I’m afraid…” Angie began to ramble, but Suzette cut her off immediately.

“Shh, you stupid girl! Don’t talk about things like this in public, there may be ears around!” she admonished. “Whatever it is, always vehemently deny that that had anything to do with you, got it? Everyone who knew the truth about what happened back then are no longer around. There’s no way Noah will get to the bottom of things, don’t you worry.”

“But Mom, are they truly all dead? Are you sure?” Angie still was not convinced. She felt that Noah must have known something for him to bring the topic up at all.
