Chapter 229 âHaha, wallet? What wallet? I only remember that youâve not handed in your protection racket. Since you have come, give me all your valuables now, or else donât blame me for attacking.â
âLet me repeat myself. Give me back my wallet.â Rowan scowled at him.
âDo you understand, bastard? I want you to hand in the protection racket. Donât even think about getting back your wallet. You must be dreaming...Ouch!â
Tony was furious, just as he was rushing over to grab Rowanâs collar. He was seized in the wrist and let out a horrifying scream.
He did not even see Rowan making a move. He only felt a numbing pain on his wrist and saw a red wound appearing.
In a few seconds, Tony felt immense pain in areas where the arteries were located.
Fresh blood was gushing out from all the wounds, and he looked like a human blood fountain.
All the people that were at the scene were shocked.
âYou...what did you do to me?!â
Tony trembled in fear as he glanced at him.
Just as he was talking, he felt blood gushing out from his neck as well.
His face has turned as pale as paper.
There was only one thought in his head.
Run!
However, his body did not respond to his orders, and his legs went numb from being too scared.
Tonyâs hands were covered in blood, and he slowly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood off his hand thoroughly.
âGive me back my wallet,â Rowan repeated.
Tony just wanted to live.
Rowan frowned at him and threw some cash from his wallet to the floor.
âPretending to be the Quincy will only make you die faster. Take this money, and never show up again.â
After leaving Rowan, Madeline went to Cambria Bar to find Elise.
Although she did not like going to the bar, she felt bad for leaving Elise alone.
After the incident with Rowan, Madeline felt more cheerful and no longer felt heated and it made her more energetic.
She was also craving for Eliseâs cooking.
A few minutes later, Madeline pulled Elise, who was having fun on the dance floor, out of the bar.
âMaddie, itâs been quite some time since I came to a bar. Iâm not satisfied yet, I havenât even drunk!â
âStop that. Letâs go and have some ârealâ fun!â
âWhat do you mean?â Elise was confused.
Madeline started the engine and drove off without telling her where.
Although she didnât know where she was going to be âkidnappedâ to, she realized that Madelineâs mood was better.
As long as Maddie was happier, Elise did not mind accompanying her everywhere Maddie went!
However, ten minutes later, Elise regretted her decision when she saw Madeline parked in front of the market.
âMaddie, I donât think itâs appropriate to go to the market with mini skirts...â
âOf course, but Iâm a bit hungry.â
âUh, okay, if you say so!â Elise was willing to accompany Madeline.
That was the first time Madeline went to a market since she came back from overseas. She felt at ease when she saw the hectic crowd in the market and smelled the air filled with smoke from food.
âMaddie, I do feel a bit hungry after coming in. Do you reckon we should order some crayfish before going back?â
At the market, there were a lot of stalls selling seafood.
Fresh seafood that was sold to customers was cooked immediately on the spot, sometimes the food in the market tasted better than a regular restaurant.
As soon as she entered the market, she could smell the aroma of food and salivate at the sight of crayfish sold at a stall nearby.
âOkay, letâs go have some crayfish.â
âHow about some barbeque?â
âI heard that the grilled sweet potatoes here are pretty good, it was even on the list of must-eat restaurants on the internet!â
âOkay, weâll buy whatever you want!â
âHmm, Maddie, are you over it?â
âI havenât said yes to Noah, but he has the right to love someone else, and if thatâs the case then great! I will leave with the children, and we will live our separate lives.â
âPity Noah!â Elise could not help but shake her head.
It was obvious that Maddie had not gotten over him. There were so many men out there, and there will be someone better than Noah!
No matter who Madeline loves, I will support her!
Elise thought to herself while peeling the shrimp and putting them into Madelineâs plate.
âCome, Maddie. Thereâs nothing a meal of crayfish canât solve! If there is, then have two meals!â
Madeline laughed at her words.
While at the same time, Noah and Dylan were hiding behind a pile of spinach at a stall. They were stalking the two ladies.
âNoah, I donât think itâs a good idea to stalk them,â Dylan asked in a low voice while hiding behind Noah. His head popped out behind Noahâs shoulder while grabbing his arm.
