Chapter 228 âY-Yes?â
Madeline was blurred.
Before she could clarify with Elise, she continued to talk in front of everyone.
âGentlemen, could you please tell me what you would do if a lady fell in love with you while you were married?â
âIs the lady good-looking or not?â
âI have the same question; prettiness is the only thing that matters to me.â
âAs long as my wife doesnât realize, Iâll cheat as I please!â
âIf the pretty lady is willing to marry me, Iâll divorce my wife in an instant!â
Madeline was not in the mood for a game, but Elise got her attention by asking such a question.
What kind of men are they?
Theyâre Shameless!
âAll of you! Shut up!â Madeline snapped.
She knew that these men were supposed to entertain and please their customers, but she was still angry with their answers.
âMissy, why are you so angry?â
âM-Missy, donât tell me that your husband cheated on you?â Youâre so pretty, itâs not making any sense!â
âMissy, itâs about time for you to change!â âArenât you bored looking at the same old person?â
âS-so, you all think that itâs normal for men to cheat?â Madeline was overwhelmed.
âOf course itâs normal! Itâs abnormal if a man doesnât cheat! He must be poor or useless if heâs staying loyal! Ha, ha, ha!â
They all thought that Madeline would be interested in a talk, so all of them were sharing their thoughts.
âNonsenses! Cheating is the norm? If my husband dares to cheat, I will castrate him!â Elise exclaimed.
Madeline was getting agitated listening to all sorts of nonsense, and her face was grumpy as she left the private room.
âElise, I need some fresh air. Iâll go outside for a while.â
âHey, Maddie, they are all merely joking, do not listen to them!â
âUrgh! Itâs because of you all that Maddie is upset. I wanted you all to answer her doubts without talking nonsense about them.
Iâm going to sew your mouths!â
Elise admonished them sternly, and she chased after Madeline.
Madeline left the bar alone and sat down by the flower bed outside.
Without knowing it, she was restless and uneasy.
She knew that Noah would not reciprocate Annaliseâs feelings, but she was just mad.
Annalise is a noble lady; what if Noah accidentally falls for her?
W-Wait... Am I worried that Noah might like Annalise?
If it really happened, she should be relieved because Noah would no longer bother her. And she could leave him with the children.
Iâve always wanted to leave, so why am I hesitating when the chance has arrived?
Madeline was feeling lost.
Just when she was puzzled, she vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the narrow alley outside the bar.
She frowned subconsciously, and she was about to leave to prevent getting herself into trouble. She stopped when she overheard their conversation.
âYouâre in my territory; if you donât hand in the protection fee, it means that youâre offending the Quincy Family.â
Madeline was enraged when she overheard the conversation.
Letâs see, which gangster has the audacity to impose on the Quincy family?
She looked in the direction of the voice. A swarm of people surrounded a man in a suit, it seemed that they were robbing him.
Madeline ran toward them; she dragged the man out before anyone could react.
She threw some small steel balls toward the gangsters.
Smoke blurred everyoneâs vision when the steel balls hit the ground.
Madeline managed to escape with the man from the alley.
Rowan just arrived in Imperia, and he was supposed to meet up with someone.
Unfortunately, these foolish men wanted to rob him when he passed by the alley. They blocked his way, and he was about to teach them a lesson. Unexpectedly, Madeline came to his rescue.
He wanted to refuse her help instinctively, but he changed his mind upon seeing Madelineâs face.
He was being dragged all the way until they arrived at the side road off the main street.
Madeline looked around for danger, and she stopped walking when she thought it was safe.
âIt should be safe around here. Boys should be careful outside.â
Madeline checked him out subconsciously as she spoke.
He had sharp and handsome features.
He looked elegant and exquisite. He was dressed in a smart suit, and there was a gold-plated pocket watch in his pocket.
She assumed that he was a rich young man who had recently arrived in town.
Hmm... why does he look so familiar? I feel that heâs a nice person.
âAre you still shocked? Do you need me to call a taxi for you?â She asked in doubt since he was staring suspiciously at her.
âIâm safe, all thanks to you. Would you please tell me your name?â Rowan recovered from shock; he bowed slightly as a courtesy.
âWe only met by chance, so we donât have to exchange our names. Since youâre alright, itâs time for you to go home.â Madeline took a closer look at him and realized that his clothes were all clean. So she guessed that the gangsters did not manage to touch him; she would take her to leave now.
âH-Hey...â Rowan was not done talking, but Madeline left.
He stood still and watched her go with a smile on his face.
He turned around and returned to the alley.
The gangsters were still choking and coughing on the smoke, and all of them were furious. They did not think the harmless man would come back.
All of them rushed toward him.
*Dude, Iâve never seen someone as stupid as you. Why did you return after escaping? My fellows, the idiotic rich man has returned; surround him!â
Tony was the leader; he used to be in Asherâs gang.
Angieâs incident of falling off a cliff had received no attention since Asher was apprehended.
He hid in the countryside for several days. He soon came back to take over Asherâs position as the leader of the gang.
There were always rich and unconscious drunkards around the bar. They always robbed them of their money.
The rich drunkards would not look around for them even after regaining consciousness the following day.
Those rich drunkards were extremely wealthy, so they didnât mind losing money.
âI want my wallet back.â Rowan told Tony his intention right away.
Anger poured through him; he was staring at Tony.
