Chapter 221
Annalise was shocked beyond belief. Her hand was trembling when she pulled it back.
âNoah, what did you just call her?â
Annalise was still in a daze, but before she could get her answer, she was shoved to one side by Noah.
Madeline saw that Annalise had let go of her, so she continued walking, but her hand was abruptly
grabbed by Noah.
âMy wife, youâre hurt!â
âThis is none of your business.â Madeline wanted to retrieve her hand impatiently, but she was stopped
by the adamant Noah.
âWhat do you mean? Youâre my wife. No one in this world will care about you as much as I do.â Noah
held Madelineâs arm tenderly, and his brows were knitted into a frown. He was checking on her arm
with great concern and he appeared to be very nervous.
âNoah, your fiancée is still right here, do you realize that? Do you think it makes sense to put up such a
fake front?â Madeline stared at Noah with disappointment in her eyes.
She could not figure out her feelings sometimes. She should be facing him without any emotion, but
when Noah entered her field of vision, she couldnât help but feel wronged.
She even wanted to cry.
âWhat âfiancéeâ are you talking about?â Noah was a little lost.
âMr. Quincy, Ms. Solace here claimed that sheâs your fiancée. She brought her men and came to our
association and exerted violence. The proof is right in front of you.â Albert put in a timely comment to
flame the fire.
âMs. Madelineâs arm was hurt precisely by your fiancéeâs assistant.â
Albert dragged Liam, who was howling on the floor, to his feet and added even more evidence to the
whole argument. He was doing that to see how Noah would respond.
If Mr. Quincyâs heart was with another woman, Albert would not let him continue to mistreat her.
âWayne!â
âSir, Iâm here!â
âGo ask him which hand he has used to hurt Madeline. You know what to do.â
âYes, sir!â
Wayne was watching the whole thing like a bystander, and he was so anxious that he felt like he must
do something.
Who were those people? They had come to harm Mr. and Mrs. Quincyâs relationship, not to mention
actually hurting Mrs. Quincy physically.
Now, he had a chance to show what he could do. He must stand up for Mr. and Mrs. Quincy!
Seeing that Wayne was approaching him, Liam immediately clambered to beg for forgiveness.
âNo! Donât come near me! Ms. Solace, save me now!â
Despite his cry for help, Wayne did not even interrogate him as he proceeded to break both of his
arms.
Then, he turned around to report to Noah, âSir, I reckon that he has lost his mind because of the shock.
Thereâs no need to ask him whether he has used his left or right hand to hurt Madeline.â
âNoah, are you saying that this woman is your wife?â When Annalise saw Wayne giving Liam some
punishment, anger immediately rose in her heart. However, she couldnât just have an outburst of anger
in front of Noah, so she pretended to be ignorant about the situation.
âYes, she is indeed my wife. I wonder how you have offended my wife, Ms. Solace?â
âItâs⦠itâs a misunderstanding, I wonât mindâ¦â Annalise thought that Noah was apologizing on behalf of
Madeline, so she wanted to take this opportunity to allow things to come to a close.
However, she stopped talking abruptly and realized that Noah was actually questioning her.
She could not believe it!
âNoah, I came here just to submit my application, but I received a cold shoulder and I was also being
framed too. Liam couldnât stand to see me getting bullied, that was why he had led those men to get at
them. I really donât know that this woman here is your wife. Iâm sorry for my mistake.â
Annalise explained carefully but deep down, she felt like she was the most pitiful woman in the world.
Madeline watched her antics and almost couldnât stifle her laughter.
This woman really had the acting chops. With just a few words, she swayed the direction of the
conversation and put the blame on her again.
She claimed that Madeline was the one who first framed her with baseless accusations, which led to
her men thrashing the whole place and acting violently.
So it turned out that Annalise was the victim here?
Madeline was no longer able to suppress her mixed emotions within her.
Annalise was actually trying to seduce her husband right in front of her. Even if Madeline didnât place so
much importance on their marriage, she wouldnât want to see this deplorable bitch get her way either!
âYou seem to address him with such familiarity, donât you? I never recall that my husband has a little
sister like you. You guys donât even have the same family name. Could it be that youâre an illegitimate
daughter of the Quincy family who is missing from the family for a long time?â
âYou!â
âSo, if youâre not an illegitimate daughter, you shouldnât address my husband so casually. I havenât
gotten my divorce with Noah yet, you know. If you continue to address him like that, you remind me of
those mistresses that aristocratic people from the past used to have. Although I donât really mind one
bit, Iâm sure you donât want to call me your sister, do you?â
Madeline was not holding back.
Annaliseâs face had turned so hideous from her anger!
On the other hand, Noah was enjoying the sight of his wife fighting with another woman out of jealousy.
This ungrateful lady finally realized that she too loved him all along!
Words couldnât describe his happiness right now!
âNoah, look at her. I am the sole daughter of the Solace family no matter what, and I am an important
member of a formidable family. Are you going to let her push me around like this?â
Naturally, she knew that Noah had married some woman and even had a child, but rumor said that it
was just some random woman who hailed from the countryside.
Annalise could not even get her hands on any information on Madeline because allegedly, Madeline
was so low profile that no information on her could be found!
Madeline must have used some dirty method to make Noah marry her!
It would be likely that Noah could someday break up with her!
She was confident that someone as talented and wise as Noah would never fail to recognize which
woman would be the best one for him!
âMy wife is right, Ms. Solace. You better donât address me as such.â Noah was speaking these words to
Annalise, but his gaze never wavered from Madeline who was next to him.
There was endless affection in his eyes at the moment. It was a sight to be envious of.
âNoah, youâre really being unfair. I am the one getting bullied here, yet youâre treating me like this just
because she is your wife!â
âAnnalise, dear, do you even hear yourself? He is my husband, of course, he would be biased in my
favor. Donât you think thatâs only normal? How can you be so shameless? Even though you come from
riches, you are eager to be someoneâs mistress. You really donât know what it means to be ashamed of
yourself!â
âYou⦠Hmph, you guys are ganging up on me. I will just leave, okay?â
Annalise obviously felt that she didnât have the upper hand anymore. There was no reason for her to
stay, so it was in her best interest to leave as quickly as she could.
However, just as she was going to stomp away, she was stopped by Madeline.
âStop right there!â
âWhat do you still want?â Annalise was beyond annoyed with Madeline.
She had never suffered humiliation of this magnitude in her life.
And to top it off, she had to suffer it in front of a guy she liked!
âMs. Solace, you are the one who broke the rules first. You have caused damage to the association,
but youâre trying to just walk off. Do you think I would let you do that?â
âThatâs on you! Youâve brought it on yourself!â
âI commend you for having good taste since youâve set your eyes on my husband. You can
compensate for the damage according to the market price, I wonât pursue that. However, if you donât
agree to that, we will settle it in the police station.â
âAre you threatening me now?â
âThat barely held any threatening power. In fact, I am going to threaten you now.â
âWhat?â
âThis is a video recording of you causing damage to the association office. Ms. Solace, whether you
want to uphold your reputation or pay the price of the damage, it is entirely up to you!â
âYou are really going too far!â
âDo you finally understand now? This is what a threat sounds like.â
