Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 317 Reading Between the Lines

Eventually, Oscar managed to get Annalise, who was still throwing a tantrum, seated in his car.

I just bought this car, and she's stinking it up already. Looks like I'll have to buy a new one.

"Are you happy now, Oscar?" Annalise wiped the tears from her face and glared at Oscar accusingly.

Oscar raised his eyebrows and smirked coldly. "I think I'd consider our family unlucky to have someone as useless as you in it."

"Why are you scolding me too? What have I done wrong? I'm supposed to be Noah's future bride! Why didn't they flatter me like what they did to Madeline? Why don't they fear me at all?"

"Because you're an idiot! Why would anyone flatter you when you have nothing worth flattering about? Is it just because you know how to throw tantrums in a cute way? Or is it because you can spew filthy language from the same mouth born with a silver spoon? Or your pathetic attempt at plotting against her?"

Oscar's expression was cold and harsh, and his words were even more so.

"No! You all have been charmed by Madeline, that seductress!" Annalise yelled stubbornly.

Oscar shook his head and sighed. He could not be bothered to speak another word to her, though he had to consider that she had taken care of their grandfather for many years.

"Even if you're right, have you ever wondered why she can seduce everyone you care about, but they all seem to hate you instead?"

That question was exactly Achilles' heel. Indeed, she had been frustrated lately because Madeline had taken away everything that was supposed to belong to her, but she did not understand how Madeline could have done that.

She was the only daughter of the Solace family and a respected socialite. Why would she lose to her?

Oscar saw that his younger sister was not totally hopeless. He continued, "You're the daughter of the Solace family, but you have no career and understand nothing of the family business. As much as Grandfather might adore you, he'll eventually have to marry you off with a lavish dowry."
