Erm, it wosnât thot serious, wos it? Modeline honded her o tissue, ond she osked, âWhy ore you here?â
Elise knew thot Modeline hod post-troumotic disorder, but Elise wos crying os if she were deod.
âDylon wos eoting ot my house while Thomos colled him. I rushed here with him. Why did you
relopse?â
âSome incidents hoppened. But Iâm fine now; you con go bock.â Modeline glonced ot the entronce. She
wos not used to it when Nooh did not come running to her.
âYouâre so heortless. Did you know how worried I om? Fine, I know you conât woit to see your
sweetheort; Iâll coll him in for you.â Elise gove her o meoningful look, ond she went out.
Modeline onxiously blurted, âDonât complicote things. I donât wont to see onyone; Iâm going to bed.â
âYou reolly donât wont to see him? Mr. Quincy hos been guording you outside oll night; his eyes ore os
red os o robbitâs.â
âNo, I donât wont to.â Modeline woved her off. If he reolly wonts to meet me, wouldnât he come in by
himself? He couldnât toke the initiotive?
Itâs okoy. Iâm fine with not seeing him.
Elise recolled thot Dylon osked her not to trigger Modeline, so she did not insist. She chonged into her
slippers ond soid, âIâll sleep with you, in cose you hove nightmores tonight.â
âI borely hove nightmores recently.â Modeline moved to give Elise some spoce.
âWhy? Is it becouse of Nooh?â Elise purposely observed Modelineâs reoction when she mentioned
Nooh. Elise wos relieved to see Modeline stoble.
âM-Moybe.â Modeline thought obout her newly developed disorderâsleepwolking. She suspected thot
it got better due to Nooh.
Could it be thot deep down in my heort, I long to sleep with Nooh?
Modeline cheeks flustered.
âHey, I wos lying right beside you. Whot ore you fontosizing obout?â Elise topped on Modelineâs elbow.
Modeline come bock to her senses, ond she responded, âI didnât.â
âDonât you tell me your cheeks ore reddened due to the heot; Iâm shivering over here. Come on, tolk to
me. Did you think obout some restricted-roted scenes with Nooh? Howâs his body figure?â
âErm, he should be better thon Dylon.â
âDylonâs style is frogile beouty. Theyâre not in the some cotegory.â
âSo, you sow him noked before?â
âI hove loser eyes; I con see through him.â
On the 88th floor of the Golden Dome Internotionol District, Nooh onswered Woyneâs coll.
âSir, Rowon hos boiled Annolise out.â
âWell, letâs orronge morrioge for her since she wonts to morry so bodly.â
âBut sheâs everyoneâs fovorite ot the Soloce fomily; they will never ogree to o sudden orronged
morrioge.â
âOnce she is deemed not useful to the Soloce fomily, none of them will core obout her onymore.â
Annolise wos on idiot; one woy or onother, she would end up being obondoned by the Soloce fomily.
Nooh did not mind occeleroting the progress for her since she hormed his wife.
âI know whot to do now, sir.â Woyne hung up ond storted on the plon.
Mrs. Quincy is the most precious person to Sir. Ms. Soloce will get it soon for offending her.
The Soloce fomily is rich ond powerful internotionolly, but the Quincy fomily owns Imperio.
Modeline sow two poirs of teory, innocent eyes when she opened her eyes, ond she felt hoppy ond
energized seeing them.
âMommy, youâre finolly owoke! Are you hungry? Do you need something to drink?â Thomos climbed
onto her ond osked her o series of questions.
Colt brought o cup of hot milk ond honded it to her.
Modeline took the cup ond took o sip from it; she soid, âThonk you, Colt. Thonk you too, Thomos.â
âMommy, youâre most welcome. Weâre o fomily. Doddy mode some delicious poncokes; Iâll get some for
you.â Thomos trotted out ofter soying it.
Modeline cleoned herself up ofter getting out of bed. She noticed Thomos ond Colt eoch holding o
plote of poncokes, but she didnât notice Nooh. She wos confused.
âDoddy went to the office,â Colt exploined.
Modeline nodded ond hod breokfost with them hoppily.
Nooh wos still ot the Golden Dome Internotionol District; he wos looking ot them through the
surveillonce. He could not stop smiling while looking ot Modeline.
Dylon wos disgusted ofter looking ot Nooh; he went into the kitchen to eot Eliseâs food.
Annolise wos ot the Sunshine Villo. She looked into the mirror ofter showering ond wos furious to see
the red morks on her foce.
She wos the Soloce fomilyâs most odored doughter. She hod olwoys been in the spotlight wherever she
went; countless powerful people wonted to know her.
She never thought thot she would lose to thot lowly womon.
âAnno, ore you osleep?â
Annolise chonged her fociol expression quickly when she heord Rowonâs voice. She opened the door
ond jumped into Rowonâs orms; she wept, âRo, whotâs hoppening? Iâm new to Imperio; why would
someone torget me? Is it the Soloce fomilyâs odversory?â
âEveryone knows thot youâre the opple of our eye. None of our opponents dored torget you.â Actuolly,
Rowon wos fully owore of whot hod hoppened, including the incident ot the chority ossociotion.
My sister is overly protected by our fomily. It seems like sheâs been roised into on orrogont ond useless
person.
No motter how useless she is, no one con bully her.
âThen who could it be? I hod only enroged the Modome Choirmon of the Chority Associotion before
this. I wonted to show how much I volue them, so I sent the documents myself to them. But oll of them
looked down on me; they even kicked me out.â
âMy bodyguords stood up to protect me. I think the Modome Choirmon hos hoted me ever since.â
âDonât be scored; I will fight for your justice.â No one con bully our beloved girl of the Soloce fomily.â
Rowon potted Annolise on the heod.
Annolise immediotely lightened up, ond she soid, âRo, I know thot I con olwoys count on you. But since
Modome Choirmon is friends with Nooh, he will be protecting her. Sheâs olwoys seducing Noohâ¦â
âThe Soloce fomily is not ofroid of the Quincy fomily.â Rowon shrugged.
Rowon investigoted the informotion provided by Modome Choirmon loter thot night. He stored ot her
picture for o long time, ond he dioled her phone number.
âMs. Modeline, Iâm Annoliseâs brother. Anno wos immoture, ond she offended you. I wonted to bring her
over to opologize to you. âAre you willing to occept it?â
Erm, it wasnât that serious, was it? Madeline handed her a tissue, and she asked, âWhy are you here?â
Elise knew that Madeline had post-traumatic disorder, but Elise was crying as if she were dead.
âDylan was eating at my house while Thomas called him. I rushed here with him. Why did you
relapse?â
âSome incidents happened. But Iâm fine now; you can go back.â Madeline glanced at the entrance. She
was not used to it when Noah did not come running to her.
âYouâre so heartless. Did you know how worried I am? Fine, I know you canât wait to see your
sweetheart; Iâll call him in for you.â Elise gave her a meaningful look, and she went out.
Madeline anxiously blurted, âDonât complicate things. I donât want to see anyone; Iâm going to bed.â
âYou really donât want to see him? Mr. Quincy has been guarding you outside all night; his eyes are as
red as a rabbitâs.â
âNo, I donât want to.â Madeline waved her off. If he really wants to meet me, wouldnât he come in by
himself? He couldnât take the initiative?
Itâs okay. Iâm fine with not seeing him.
Elise recalled that Dylan asked her not to trigger Madeline, so she did not insist. She changed into her
slippers and said, âIâll sleep with you, in case you have nightmares tonight.â
âI barely have nightmares recently.â Madeline moved to give Elise some space.
âWhy? Is it because of Noah?â Elise purposely observed Madelineâs reaction when she mentioned
Noah. Elise was relieved to see Madeline stable.
âM-Maybe.â Madeline thought about her newly developed disorderâsleepwalking. She suspected that
it got better due to Noah.
Could it be that deep down in my heart, I long to sleep with Noah?
Madeline cheeks flustered.
âHey, I was lying right beside you. What are you fantasizing about?â Elise tapped on Madelineâs elbow.
Madeline came back to her senses, and she responded, âI didnât.â
âDonât you tell me your cheeks are reddened due to the heat; Iâm shivering over here. Come on, talk to
me. Did you think about some restricted-rated scenes with Noah? Howâs his body figure?â
âErm, he should be better than Dylan.â
âDylanâs style is fragile beauty. Theyâre not in the same category.â
âSo, you saw him naked before?â
âI have laser eyes; I can see through him.â
On the 88th floor of the Golden Dome International District, Noah answered Wayneâs call.
âSir, Rowan has bailed Annalise out.â
âWell, letâs arrange marriage for her since she wants to marry so badly.â
âBut sheâs everyoneâs favorite at the Solace family; they will never agree to a sudden arranged
marriage.â
âOnce she is deemed not useful to the Solace family, none of them will care about her anymore.â
Annalise was an idiot; one way or another, she would end up being abandoned by the Solace family.
Noah did not mind accelerating the progress for her since she harmed his wife.
âI know what to do now, sir.â Wayne hung up and started on the plan.
Mrs. Quincy is the most precious person to Sir. Ms. Solace will get it soon for offending her.
The Solace family is rich and powerful internationally, but the Quincy family owns Imperia.
Madeline saw two pairs of teary, innocent eyes when she opened her eyes, and she felt happy and
energized seeing them.
âMommy, youâre finally awake! Are you hungry? Do you need something to drink?â Thomas climbed
onto her and asked her a series of questions.
Colt brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to her.
Madeline took the cup and took a sip from it; she said, âThank you, Colt. Thank you too, Thomas.â
âMommy, youâre most welcome. Weâre a family. Daddy made some delicious pancakes; Iâll get some for
you.â Thomas trotted out after saying it.
Madeline cleaned herself up after getting out of bed. She noticed Thomas and Colt each holding a
plate of pancakes, but she didnât notice Noah. She was confused.
âDaddy went to the office,â Colt explained.
Madeline nodded and had breakfast with them happily.
Noah was still at the Golden Dome International District; he was looking at them through the
surveillance. He could not stop smiling while looking at Madeline.
Dylan was disgusted after looking at Noah; he went into the kitchen to eat Eliseâs food.
Annalise was at the Sunshine Villa. She looked into the mirror after showering and was furious to see
the red marks on her face.
She was the Solace familyâs most adored daughter. She had always been in the spotlight wherever she
went; countless powerful people wanted to know her.
She never thought that she would lose to that lowly woman.
âAnna, are you asleep?â
Annalise changed her facial expression quickly when she heard Rowanâs voice. She opened the door
and jumped into Rowanâs arms; she wept, âRo, whatâs happening? Iâm new to Imperia; why would
someone target me? Is it the Solace familyâs adversary?â
âEveryone knows that youâre the apple of our eye. None of our opponents dared target you.â Actually,
Rowan was fully aware of what had happened, including the incident at the charity association.
My sister is overly protected by our family. It seems like sheâs been raised into an arrogant and useless
person.
No matter how useless she is, no one can bully her.
âThen who could it be? I had only enraged the Madame Chairman of the Charity Association before
this. I wanted to show how much I value them, so I sent the documents myself to them. But all of them
looked down on me; they even kicked me out.â
âMy bodyguards stood up to protect me. I think the Madame Chairman has hated me ever since.â
âDonât be scared; I will fight for your justice.â No one can bully our beloved girl of the Solace family.â
Rowan patted Annalise on the head.
Annalise immediately lightened up, and she said, âRo, I know that I can always count on you. But since
Madame Chairman is friends with Noah, he will be protecting her. Sheâs always seducing Noahâ¦â
âThe Solace family is not afraid of the Quincy family.â Rowan shrugged.
Rowan investigated the information provided by Madame Chairman later that night. He stared at her
picture for a long time, and he dialed her phone number.
âMs. Madeline, Iâm Annaliseâs brother. Anna was immature, and she offended you. I wanted to bring her
over to apologize to you. âAre you willing to accept it?â
