Chapter 66
The Quincy residence.
After Noah greeted a few guests, he went into the study as he allowed Mr. Charles to be in charge of
the banquet. The large display in the room lit up before him. It showed live surveillance footage of the
different locations in the residence.
Noah immediately noticed the footage of Madeline and Thomas. He enlarged it and watched them as if
it was a movie. He felt moved to see Colt leading Madeline around the place joyfully.
Noah had never seen Colt getting close to a woman before. He had the urge to join them in the
banquet. However, he was afraid to do so.
Noah was worried that Madeline would feel threatened and distance herself from him. It would ruin
Coltâs birthday. Therefore, he decided to suppress his desires and observe them on the screen instead.
A sudden knock on the door alerted Noah. He swiftly switched the footage and sat down at his desk
before letting the person outside in.
Wayne walked into the room hurriedly and said, âMr. Quincy, Felix is awake.â
âNo time to waste,â Noah said as he stood up. He walked towards the elevator beside the cupboard
that was opposite his desk.
âMr. Quincy, itâs Coltonâs birthday today. Perhaps you should stay,â Wayne said. He was aware that
Felix was important to Noah, but Colton was even more important to him.
Noah hesitated for a moment. He said, âHeâll have a great time as long as Madeline is by his side. Stay
here and make sure that no one notices that Iâm gone.â
âMr. Quincy, Mr. Charles is already in charge, allow me to accompany you instead,â Wayne said.
âThereâs no need for that,â Noah replied. He stepped into the elevator and closed the doors.
The elevator led to the underground garage. A black Rolls Royce zoomed out from the rear exit not
long after.
Angie was sneaking around the Quincy residence and finally made it in. She hid downstairs and
observed Noah as he drank a glass of juice that was drugged. He walked upstairs after that.
Angie felt a burst of excitement as it went according to plan. She was worried that it would not work as
it was crowded. However, Noah fell for it and went upstairs. It was the perfect opportunity.
The drug would take effect half an hour after being consumed. Therefore, she had to act quickly and
follow him upstairs. Although she has been here numerous times, she was still uncertain of the interior
layout.
She sneaked past the crowd and made her way to the front of the study. She was filled with joy as she
was about to succeed. She gripped the doorknob and felt as if she was about to open Pandoraâs box in
her dreams.
Before she could turn the door knob, a person embraced her from behind. She could feel the warmth of
the tight embrace and the hot breaths coming from behind. She lost her senses as she was about to
speak.
Madeline and Thomas had been tailing Angie to the residence. However, she disappeared in the blink
of an eye. It was obvious that Angie had gone to look for Noah.
âShall we go upstairs and have a look?â Thomas asked. âItâs best to not disturb the others,â Madeline
replied. âThat scumbag isnât a nobody. We canât just watch from the sidelines as he gets married to my
stepmom. If she mistreats me no one would come to my rescue,â Thomas said.
Thomas began to put up an act. Madeline decided to go with him to prevent stirring up a scene. She
could not deny the fact that Thomas was Noahâs son. Besides, she was also against Noah getting
married to Angie.
Thomas led Madeline upstairs. As they made it upstairs, they were greeted with the sight of Angie and
a man kissing in a tight embrace. Madeline swiftly covered Thomasâ eyes. The man carried Angie and
fled the scene as they were noticed.
Madeline was dazed while Thomas was confused. âMommy, now that the bad woman likes someone
else, does that mean she wonât get married to that scumbag?â Thomas asked. âIt seems like itâ¦â
Madeline replied.
âYay! Thatâs great! That scumbagâs wealth will be mine in the future!â Thomas uttered joyfully. Madeline
was taken aback and quickly covered his mouth. âKeep it downâ¦â she said.
The Golden Dome International District.
Noah went to the medical laboratory intensive care unit on the 86th floor. Felix had tubes connected all
over his body as he lay in the hospital bed feebly.
Dylan and the medical staff did their best to keep Felix alive. However, the grim reaper could take his
life at any moment.
Felix was seemingly desperate to speak as he saw that Noah had arrived. âMr. Turner, do you still
recognize me?â Noah asked. Felix looked at him and nodded.
âMr. Turner, did Madeline kill my grandpa?â Noah continued. Before Noah entered the ward, Dylan had
urged him to ask all the questions he had as Felix was running out of time. Therefore, Noah had to get
straight to the point.
âNoâ¦â Felix muttered. âNo? Are you saying that it wasnât Madeline?â Noah asked. Felix nodded in
response. Noah let out a breath of relief but it was followed by a sense of realization. He had wronged
Madeline.
âDo you know who killed my grandpa?â Noah continued. Felix was agitated as if he suddenly
remembered something. âWho is it?â Noah asked. âIt wasâ¦â Felix was unable to finish his words.
The heart rate monitor sounded as he flatlined. Dylan and the medical staff attempted to revive him.
Noah walked outside as he was lost in his thoughts.
It wasnât Madeline after all! How is that possible? It was her in the surveillance footage!
