Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 527 Aren’t You Underestimating Mr. Quincy

Noah moved toward Shane and took off the tape plastered over his mouth.

Shane was about to shout for help but stopped when he met Madeline's gaze. He had a dawning realization as he noticed the enigmatic look in her eyes.

Madeline is very different from Eliza. She is far more cold-hearted than her mother. If I insist on making her an enemy, I might end up putting Wilda in danger instead.

Madeline detected a hint of resignation in Shane's eyes. She said, "After Eliza had gone missing, the Solace family moved all the way to Uranica. Still, they had a hard time starting over there. On the contrary, the Harvey family became even more prosperous and successful as time went on. I believe you have a hand in making that happen, Mr. Harvey?"

Shane merely looked at Madeline and waited for her to continue. However, Madeline stared back at the man as she wanted his confirmation.

After a long pause, Noah broke the silence and said, "We'll leave as soon as you tell us who you're working with."

"You're both young and hot-blooded. You think you can do just about anything. However, there are always those who are more powerful and capable than you are." Shane let out a heavy sigh.

"You think we don't stand a chance against those people," Madeline concluded from his words.

Shane finally decided to tell them the truth, "That's right. You don't stand a chance against those men. I'm certain they've kept a close watch over your every movement ever since you stepped foot in Yashal."

Since Shane was ready to talk to them, Madeline had Lone Wolf help the old man get to his feet and sit on a chair. Then, they offered him some water.

Shane took a big gulp of water and cleared his throat. "Those people made me hold this birthday party to lure all of you here. They want to force you into doing what they want by threatening to harm your children."

"What is it that they want from her?" Noah asked anxiously. He had been worrying ceaselessly about what these people were trying to do to Madeline.

"They want her to do a body check-up." Shane was only informed that much. Those secretive people sent a machine and several shady-looking doctors to his house. They told him that those were for Madeline's check-up.

I don't think it'll be just a simple body check-up.

Madeline turned her head and met Noah's gaze.
