Chapter 553: Chapter 554

CHAPTER 554 THAT’S SWEET OF YOU, BABE

“You got one thing wrong. I’m the one leech.” Noah peevishly cut Wilda off.

In fact, Wilda’s feelings for him came out of nowhere. Noah was baffled that she got the wrong idea

about him because he never gave her the time of the day.

Later, he approached Wilda under Madeline’s instructions, but he only pretended to run into her once.

Noah never hit on her, so the look on Wilda’s face as if he dumped her was unwarranted.

Wilda widened her eyes in disbelief for a while before bursting into deranged laughter. “Haha. Had I

known you were a henpecked husband and would throw away your dignity just to please your wife, I

wouldn’t have looked at you. You make me sick.”

“Ms. Harvey, you’re full of contradictions. You look down on women who rely on men, and then you diss

men for being nice to their wives. Nothing pleases you.” Madeline tore a new one into Wilda.

Winova snickered. “It’s not that she can’t stand men who are good to their wives. She doesn’t want Mr.

Quincy to treat you well.”

“Since you are all getting along just fine, you should just stay here together forever!” Wilda snapped an

eerie look at them before taking quick paces out of there.

Madeline got a bad feeling. One step ahead of Madeline, Noah went up to grab Wilda, but an infrared

laser stopped his arm from reaching out.

Soon, the entrance of the room was covered in infrared rays.

“Sh*t! Wilda, you psycho! Let us out!” Canary freaked out. It was only a scene found in movies.

The sicko brought a dangerous weapon into the home.

Standing outside, Wilda smiled smugly. “I have lasers covering the outside of the house. Shots will be

fired at you if you try to escape.”

“Grandpa will come and save us if he doesn’t see us at the party.” It could not register in Winova’s head

that Wilda would kill them.

Wilda laughed like a mad person. “Grandpa? I’ll tell him that Mr. Quincy has invited you and Canary to

Imperia for a two-week stay. The old man won’t be missing you.”

“You have lost your mind, Winova. This is against the law. Let us out now!” Winova tried to run out in a

panic as she did not believe Wilda would harm her in front of everybody.

Quick on her feet, Madeline pulled Winova back. Winova’s affordable luxury bag flung away amid the

tussle and hit the infrared rays. Then came a shot from above. Winova would have been shot if

Madeline had not tumbled on the ground along with her.

Color drained from Canary’s face. Although the siblings had always engaged in war, it was all petty

stuff like making each other look bad. It never crossed anybody’s mind to take another life.

Despite Winova’s hatred for Wilda, Winova never once tried to kill her.

Wilda had gone mad. She must have.

Noah pulled Madeline up and gave her a disapproving glare. With a smile, Madeline gave his cheek a

squeeze. “Don’t worry. I know what I was doing. This little stunt can’t hurt me.”

“Oh, please. I nearly died, and here you are, showing off your love for each other. Have some

consideration!” Winova whined while getting up from the ground.

“Well, enjoy.” Wilda’s eyes were filled with wickedness.

Noah blurted, “Cover your noses and mouths!”

Catching a faint whiff of a fragrance, Madeline knew what was up and cursed Wilda to kingdom come

in her head. Only Wilda could come up with such a disgusting tactic.

So it seemed if she could not have it, then no one could. Wilda was a terrifying woman.

Wilda was in the middle of closing the door, not wanting to miss the drug overpowering the group when

a dark silhouette jumped behind her and put a knife to her neck.

Madeline raised a brow. Why, if it isn’t Lone Wolf?

She turned around and saw Noah looking composed. The man must have known something, so he

sent Lone Wolf away and blew his cover on purpose.

“So you knew about this?” Madeline asked curiously.

Noah chuckled. “I didn’t want you to get tired, so I found someone to do the job for you.”

“That’s sweet of you, babe.” Madeline made a face at him.

Canary and Winova got goosebumps. “Can you not be so mushy?”

“Mr. Quincy, you’re a prominent figure in Imperia. Shouldn’t you keep up with appearance?”

“Don’t I have an uxorious husband image?” Noah shrugged, replying to Canary for once.

Canary was dumbstruck. “That sounds about right. You, sir, are bad*ss.”

Noah grinned in delight before looking into Madeline’s eyes. “We can go home once Lone Wolf takes

care of the person outside.”

“Alright. You’re the boss.” Madeline compliantly held his hand. Jesus Christ. Thank goodness Noah had

something up his sleeve. Otherwise, Madeline would have to steal Wilda’s necklace and fiddle around

to retrieve the missing piece.

Things were easier with Lone Wolf taking the enemies out in the front.

“Hey, have a heart, will you? I have ears, you know.” Lone Wolf held Wilda hostage as four beefy

bodyguards stood before him.

Lone Wolf was over the moon to discover the secret behind Wilda’s necklace. He thought he finally got

the thing before Noah. However, the team of security came after him the moment he snatched the

necklace.

“Huh? You’re hurt. Stop talking and save your energy,” Madeline gave a friendly reminder.

Lone Wolf shook with fury, drawing a cut along Wilda’s neck. Blood spilled across her neck.

Feeling the bleed from her neck to her chest, Wilda believed her aorta was cut. She immediately told

the bodyguards, “Back away. I’m ordering you to back away.”

The bodyguards hesitated for a moment before carrying on ahead.

“Your security detail doesn’t seem to care about you,” Lone Wolf taunted. He then whinged, “What are

you standing there for? Aren’t you going to come and help? Don’t blame me if the stuff is stolen away.”

“We can’t get out.” Noah was honest about the situation.

Lone Wolf tightened his grip on the knife. “Turn off the infrared rays.”

Wilda nodded her head with a pale face. “I’ll make the call now.”

She dialed the number, but no one answered on the other end of the line. Did something happen?

Lone Wolf turned to Noah, and the latter simply shrugged. It was not Noah’s doing.

Still, he urged Lone Wolf, “Did you check the surveillance room?”

Lone Wolf was dumbstruck. He did check the room and saw someone sitting behind a computer and

watching porn. Since it was against his moral values, Lone Wolf beat the person up and rendered him

unconscious.

“Alright. Stop fighting. Tell them to back away.”

Madeline was stumped. It was apparent that Lone Wolf was about to do something stupid.
