Chapter 5: Aggresive Wife Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Bad Woman

Noah and Thomas soon returned to the Quincy residence. They were greeted by Colton’s long-time

doctor, Dylan Felch, and Angie. The latter was astonished to see that the little boy could make it back

alive, with no injuries. She fumed inwardly, I thought I had the perfect opportunity to get rid of him

without anyone knowing. All my efforts have gone to waste. What did I do wrong?

Noah handed Thomas to Dylan and said, “Something amazing happened to Colt. He can speak now.

Please help him to do a full body check-up.”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the news. Dylan’s eyes widened in surprise as he asked,

“Are you serious?” The man had been trying to treat Colton for five years. All of the world’s respected

doctors could not get the boy to speak. Despite this, he was promptly cured after going missing for a

day.

Thomas muttered reluctantly, “Yeah!” He had no choice but to fool everyone into thinking he had finally

recovered. He was confident that he could deceive the doctor into believing he was Colton.

Feeling eager to understand the reason behind Thomas’ sudden recovery, Dylan hurriedly carried the

boy upstairs for the medical examination. As Thomas followed the doctor, he became aware of

someone glaring at him. When he turned to look, he saw a young, stunning woman giving him a chilly

stare.

Thomas wondered, she’s definitely a bad woman. Who’s she? Did my hateful dad marry her? Is she

my stepmom?

With its well-polished hardwood floor, high ceiling, and abundance of sunlight, the Quincy residence’s

living room was as grand as its exterior. Noah sat on the couch with his long, slender legs crossed. His

powerful aura was further enhanced when he removed his black coat and rolled up the sleeves of his

fitting white shirt.

Angie sat next to him, feeling uneasy. It never occurred to her that Colton could return home unscathed

and with the ability to speak. She thought, the boy knows too many of my dark secrets; he may even

know that I’m responsible for the incident at the cemetery. I can’t sit here and do nothing. He may

reveal all my secrets!

Angie pretended to be concerned about Thomas and asked, “What happened to Colt, Noah? Who was

the woman who abducted him?” She bit her lip and her eyes reddened as she continued, “What did she

do Colt? How did he learn to speak in just a day? Something weird is going on. We can’t let her off so

easily.”

Noah became increasingly annoyed when he heard Angie’s incessant questioning. He closed his eyes

and snapped, “I know what to do. It’s late. You should head home and get some rest.”

The woman was still afraid that the boy would reveal the truth. As a result, she reasoned that it was

best to keep an eye on him to err on the side of caution. “Can I stay for the night, Noah? I’m worried

about Colt.”

Apart from keeping a watchful eye on Thomas, Angie wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to

Noah. They were about to marry, but he had not even held her hand once. In addition, he became even

more hostile to her after the incident involving the young boy.

Noah was not in the mood to deal with Angie’s willful behavior. He glanced at her and warned, “Go

home!”

Angie knew that the man was about to explode in anger. Hence, she decided to obey his instructions

and hurriedly left the Quincy residence.

Once Angie got into her car, her worried expression turned sinister. She threw her bag on the car seat

and yelled at her assistant, Ronald Klish. “What the hell is going on? Didn’t you say that the punk was

thrown down the hill? Why does he look perfectly fine?”

The woman fumed inwardly, not only does Colton look all right, he can even speak! He’s like a walking

time bomb. If the punk reveals my secrets, all of my efforts will have been for nothing.

Colton’s return had also left Ronald feeling perplexed. “Cool down, Ms. Angie. There’s something odd

about the matter. Our men have confirmed that the boy was pushed down the hill. I’ve also discovered

that the mysterious woman has nothing to do with Colton’s rescue.”

“How’s that possible? Hurry get to the bottom of this matter!” Angie shrieked.

“Yes!” Ronald replied. After a short pause, he continued, “There’s another matter, Ms. Angie.”

She asked irritably, “What’s wrong now?”

Ronald stammered, “The… the organizers of the charity dinner informed that you have been blacklisted

from future charity events. The news has also been announced on various websites, and it’s trending

on social media.

Angie was simmering with anger as she took out her tablet and read through the trending topics on

social media.

Breaking news! Imperia’s charitable princess, Angie Grant, is a fraud!

Discover Angie Grant’s true identity!

The liar, Angie Grant, has been blacklisted from charity events!

Angie Grant has been kicked out of the charity event’s invitees list!

As Angie continued to read the harsh comments from the netizens, a wave of rage washed over her.

She yelled, “I want to know who’s responsible for this right now!” Her hands started trembling, but this

time it was out of fear. She knew in her heart that she was guilty of all charges. She had spent all these

years using Gordon’s name to perform acts of charity. As a result, she earned the title of “Imperia’s

charitable princess”, garnered many devoted supporters, and gained favor with the Quincy family.

Despite her charitable acts, Angie did not truly care about helping others. In fact, she believed that the

common people deserved to suffer and that it was not worth her time and effort to help them.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Angie. I have already sent out men to find out who’s responsible for this,” Ronald

assured.

The man’s words brought Angie back to her senses. She glared at him and instructed, “Contact the

charity dinner organizers and request that they reinstate my name on the guest list. I must attend the

charity dinner no matter what.”

Angie made a pact with Noah that they would marry once she was crowned the Global Ambassador for

Philanthropy. She had spent all of her time and energy persuading the man to agree to the marriage.

Hence, she could not stand anyone or anything standing in her way of joining the Quincy family.

I’ll get rid of anyone who tries to hinder my progress. They’ll face the same fate as the old man and

Madeline.

Meanwhile, Colton was still in a coma at the hospital, but his condition had stabilized. Madeline stayed

by his side the entire time to keep him company. She browsed through the headlines on her laptop and

realized that the hateful comments for Angie were increasing. She leaned into the couch and thought in

satisfaction, it’s been five years since we last met, Angie Grant. I hope you like my gift. It’s all right if

you don’t. This is just the beginning. I’ll make sure you know what it feels like to be abandoned and hurt

by the person you love.

Madeline raised her hand and signaled to Albert. “Proceed to the next step, one hour later.”
