Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 523 A Trap

Shane was taken aback by Noah's unwavering support for Madeline. No matter how he tried to sow discord, it was useless. He looked Noah in the eyes and displayed a somewhat perplexed expression.

Shane claimed, "We have always taken care of the property your parents left behind. It's a mess after so many years have passed."

Once more, Madeline threw several papers in Shane's direction. She wanted to demonstrate to him that she had carefully arranged the accounts and he should stop making excuses.

Shane's complexion turned ghastly pale, but he refused to give in.

"If you don't want to give them to me, just answer a few questions honestly, and I'll let you go," Madeline said as she backed away.

Madeline thought it was useless to keep pressing Shane. She might push him into a corner. She, therefore, gave him some space to catch his breath.

Shane's expression softened slightly.

Madeline was somewhat puzzled.

They shouldn't value my parents' property as highly given their wealth, right? They also gave Wilda control over all of those assets when she turned eighteen years old.

"What do you want to ask?"

The way Madeline was looking at him made Shane feel uneasy. He had the impression that Madeline could read all of his thoughts from the way she was looking at him. Shane encouraged Madeline to ask as he inadvertently turned his head away.

Madeline exchanged glances with Noah.

Noah gave her a light nod.

Madeline then started to ask, "You shut down a biotechnology company that was registered in my mother's name the moment she vanished. Why?"

Noah had been silently observing Shane's expression, so he did not miss the panic and fear that flashed through his eyes.

After briefly calming down, Shane replied, "Each year, that business lost money. It would have kept losing money if I hadn't ended it."

Madeline replied, "There's no need to waste any more time because you weren't sincere enough to speak with us."

Madeline stared at Shane for a few seconds, then she waved her hand.
