Chapter 334: Chapter 334

Half an hour later, Madeline received a group of photos that featured Noah. She zoomed into those

photos to check them out, and though she wanted to sneer at him acting all cool, she had to admit that

he really had the perfect face!

When she was checking the last photo, she felt that all the blood in her body seemed to all rush to her

head.

In the photo, Noah looked like he was pushed by someone, and just as he was falling into the bathtub,

the camera was able to capture his wet shirt which failed to conceal his perfect abdomen. His private

part was bulging as if the sheer size was going to tear his pants apart at any moment.

This could not be a photo taken by Mackenzie!

“Dylan forced me to take such photos. You better keep them safe and not let anyone see it.”

Immediately, Noah’s message came.

Madeline replied to him, “It’s such a private photo. Are you sure you didn’t just send it to me by

mistake?”

Noah snatched his phone back from Dylan and glared at him. Dylan then waved his hand innocently

before looking for Mackenzie to have some fun together.

“Who else would I send such photos to? Other than sending them to you.”

Madeline’s heart began to pound. She changed the topic, “Mr. Quincy, do you have too much time on

your hands?”

“I am focusing on a biotechnology project lately, but I’ve handed most of the job to Lucas.”

Biotechnology project? Madeline immediately thought of Natalia. She had seen Natalia going to the

Quincy residence twice.

“Then I hope that your project will go well and you will earn a lot of money,” Madeline was about to

hang up after saying that.

Suddenly, Noah called out in a serious tone, “Madeline.”

“Yeah?” Madeline replied softly, and she did not tease him for it.

“I will always be by your side. Always,” No matter the outcome of her treatment, and no matter if she

would forgive him or not, he decided to stay by her side forever.

Madeline felt something touching her heart. Some emotion was coursing through her.

“Even if I don’t stand by you somehow?”

She tested him, but she felt that her palms were sweaty now.

Noah’s voice was tender as if a cello was being played gently, “As long as I can see you, nothing else

matters.”

A smile formed on her face, but she did not make any sound. She could not figure out why she felt

happy, and she also felt sorrow in her heart.

“If you have so much time to take such photos, you should earn more money. After all, I am still the

owner of the stocks of the Quinton Corporation.”

She suddenly understood the reason someone as arrogant as him would send so many photos to her.

He must have felt wary and worried that he could not see her, and he was afraid that she would forget

about him.

However, she never forgot his face in the past five years. How could she forget about him when it was

just a few days that they had not seen each other?

She had a feeling that she would never, ever forget his face.

“You are right.”

Nooh hung up, ond he immediotely drogged Dylon from Mockenzie’s room, “How con I see Modeline

ogoin?”

He wos no soint. He did not wont his wife to look for him in photos when she wos missing him.

Perhops, it wos even conceited for him to ossume thot she wos missing him.

This wos becouse he reolized thot he wos not os confident ond ot eose os he hod mode it out to be.

Whenever he thought of the Soloce brothers who were olwoys oround Modeline, he would feel

frustroted. Now thot Joseph hod set his eyes on her, ond not to mention Trenton too, he wos ofroid thot

he would reolly lose her if he did nothing ond just idle in his monsion.

“You hove to eliminote oll viruses in your body.”

“How con I do thot? You better tell me now!’

“You’re still recovering from your injury. We con only think obout thot once your wounds ore olmost

recovered, or else the procedure will hurt you.”

“Zeke’s birthdoy is next month. It’s just oround the corner. I hove to be with the kids ond Modeline on

thot doy,” Nooh wos determined to moke sure thot he could receive his treotment os soon os possible,

ond he wos not giving Dylon ony choice but to find woys to speed up the treotment.

Dylon rubbed his nose ond muttered, “Aren’t those photos good enough? You seem to be enjoying

yourself o lot in the photo shoot.”

“She only needs o few minutes to toke o look ot the photos I’ve spent hours toking. Then, she would

hove time to do some cooking with Oscor, besides hoving o coffee with Rowon ond ploying golf with

Alexonder…”

“Alright, I get your point. I will look into the procedure more bock in my lob loter,” Dylon scrotched his

heod os he silently cursed ot him for being so determined obout seeing her.

Wos Nooh’s life or the foct thot Nooh hod to ottend his kid’s birthdoy porty more importont?

Mockenzie wos still ot o tender oge. He would hove mony chonces to celebrote her birthdoy in the

future.

After Dylon hod left, Nooh stood in front of the French window. He wos colling Woyne.

“Hove you found out obout thot? Did Trenton reolly return to Imperio on thot doy?”

“I’ve investigoted thot motter thoroughly. Every yeor when it wos time for the kids’ birthdoy, Trenton

would personolly give them gifts. This hoppened every yeor from the doy they were born until lost yeor.

He never missed the dote.”

Woyne omitted the port obout how Trenton’s gifts were olwoys expensive ond thoughtful. The kids were

huge fons of those gifts.

“Did Mrs. Quincy occept the gifts?” Nooh osked coldly.

Woyne onswered corefully, “At first, they got olong quite well, but for some reoson, their relotionship

turned sour ofter thot. Mrs. Quincy did not occept his gifts onymore ever since, ond she used to throw

them owoy. However, it seems thot Trenton hos some woys with words ond he wos oble to moke those

kids hoppy every time, so Mrs. Quincy stopped throwing owoy the gifts in feor of the kids getting upset.”

It seemed thot from the look of things, Trenton wos no ordinory opponent. He hod on ulterior motive for

doing this!

Noah hung up, and he immediately dragged Dylan from Mackenzie’s room, “How can I see Madeline

again?”

He was no saint. He did not want his wife to look for him in photos when she was missing him.

Perhaps, it was even conceited for him to assume that she was missing him.

This was because he realized that he was not as confident and at ease as he had made it out to be.

Whenever he thought of the Solace brothers who were always around Madeline, he would feel

frustrated. Now that Joseph had set his eyes on her, and not to mention Trenton too, he was afraid that

he would really lose her if he did nothing and just idle in his mansion.

“You have to eliminate all viruses in your body.”

“How can I do that? You better tell me now!’

“You’re still recovering from your injury. We can only think about that once your wounds are almost

recovered, or else the procedure will hurt you.”

“Zeke’s birthday is next month. It’s just around the corner. I have to be with the kids and Madeline on

that day,” Noah was determined to make sure that he could receive his treatment as soon as possible,

and he was not giving Dylan any choice but to find ways to speed up the treatment.

Dylan rubbed his nose and muttered, “Aren’t those photos good enough? You seem to be enjoying

yourself a lot in the photo shoot.”

“She only needs a few minutes to take a look at the photos I’ve spent hours taking. Then, she would

have time to do some cooking with Oscar, besides having a coffee with Rowan and playing golf with

Alexander…”

“Alright, I get your point. I will look into the procedure more back in my lab later,” Dylan scratched his

head as he silently cursed at him for being so determined about seeing her.

Was Noah’s life or the fact that Noah had to attend his kid’s birthday party more important?

Mackenzie was still at a tender age. He would have many chances to celebrate her birthday in the

future.

After Dylan had left, Noah stood in front of the French window. He was calling Wayne.

“Have you found out about that? Did Trenton really return to Imperia on that day?”

“I’ve investigated that matter thoroughly. Every year when it was time for the kids’ birthday, Trenton

would personally give them gifts. This happened every year from the day they were born until last year.

He never missed the date.”

Wayne omitted the part about how Trenton’s gifts were always expensive and thoughtful. The kids were

huge fans of those gifts.

“Did Mrs. Quincy accept the gifts?” Noah asked coldly.

Wayne answered carefully, “At first, they got along quite well, but for some reason, their relationship

turned sour after that. Mrs. Quincy did not accept his gifts anymore ever since, and she used to throw

them away. However, it seems that Trenton has some ways with words and he was able to make those

kids happy every time, so Mrs. Quincy stopped throwing away the gifts in fear of the kids getting upset.”

It seemed that from the look of things, Trenton was no ordinary opponent. He had an ulterior motive for

doing this!

Noah never knew about Trenton’s age when he was still young, which always bothered him. Now that

he learned that Trenton was actually still a young man, everything finally made sense.

“Do whatever it takes to stop him from coming back to Imperia, especially on the day of the kids’

birthday.”

Noah had decided to hold a grand celebration for Mackenzie, Thomas, and Colton. He wanted to take

that opportunity to announce to the whole of Imperia that those kids were his own.

He could not allow Trenton to spoil the party.

“Mr. Quincy, Fred is on the run lately as he did not return to Joseph’s side. We don’t know his

whereabouts right now,” Wayne felt that this was his responsibility. He failed to keep an eye on Fred.

If Fred decided to lurk in the dark and take his sweet time to exact revenge on Madeline, they would

always have to be on the lookout for him. They would be at a disadvantage.

“Send more men to look for him, but don’t ruffle the bushes too much. Keep an eye on the people that

he’s dealing with,” Noah knew that Madeline had caught a lot of Joseph’s men, so she must have

known something about Joseph and Trenton.

Fred had succumbed to Madeline this time, and even if he was able to crawl back to Joseph’s side,

Joseph would not accept him anymore. His only moves left were to complain about the situation to

either Joseph’s dad or Trenton.

Unfortunately, those two were not able to do much for Fred.

Joseph’s father had the grand goal of taking the Quinton Corporation back from Noah, and when he

had not achieved his goal yet, there was no way he would randomly start a war just for Fred’s sake.

On the other hand, it was clear as day how Trenton felt toward Madeline. There was no way he would

hurt Madeline just because of Fred.

Therefore, Noah surmised that all he needed to do was to send more people to watch Fred.

On Madeline’s side, she did not actually let Fred walk by mistake. She had allowed him to escape just

to send some people to tail him. She wanted to know who he was talking to lately.

In this department, the two of them really saw eye to eye.

At night, after washing up, Madeline retired to her bed and was about to sleep when she saw a bulging

part on her bed. When she took away the blanket, it revealed Thomas who was hiding underneath it.

He had a playful smile on his face.

“Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight.”

Madeline looked into his eager eyes and knew that he must have done something wrong.

“What have you done with my phone?”

“Mommy, I swear that I did not do that on purpose. Auntie Elise asked me to send daddy’s private

photos to her, and I accidentally sent it in the group chat.”

Group chat? Madeline took her phone and checked it. She saw that those selfies and explicit photos of

Noah had been sent to all her contacts and group chats on her phone. This included her group chat for

work.

Right now, her phone was vibrating non-stop with the bombardment of new messages.
