Aggresive Wife Chapter 71
The headlines that Madeline had just read were Top 3 trending headlines on Facebook at the moment.
The fourth headline was even more scandalous.
âWedding Bells for Noah Quincy? Exclusive Family Portrait!â
The fourth headline was similar to the first three, all of which made the story of Noah Quincy cheating
on his fiancée sound more credible. Madeline was initially confused, but she calmed down very quickly
and could even laugh to herself at one point. She had found the keyword in all of these articles after
she had re-read them â âlast nightâ.
Last night, Madeline had seen Angie Grant kissing another man with her own eyes. The man had led
her away after that. Madeline even thought that perhaps Angie had found herself a new man. How did
Noah end up being the scapegoat for this man?
âMommy, how are you still able to laugh?â Thomas asked out of concern, his face etched with anger
and worry. Children could never quite hide their emotions as well as their adult parents could. His fiery
anger was directed at the person who tried to slander his mother. He quickly took out his high-tech
childrenâs laptop from his backpack, typing swiftly with his chubby little fingers. Just a moment later, all
the trending search articles that Suzette Grant had paid $10 million to promote had been bumped to
the bottom. When someone tried to click on the article, they would be automatically redirected to an
error 404 page.
Madeline did not mind being gossiped about on the internet, but she was still touched as she watched
her son working hard to minimize her exposure. She too had another weapon in hand, in the form of
the media company that she got Albert to set up back then to go against Angie. However, the
Facebook articles made Madeline recall something else from last night too. During the cake cutting
ceremony, Noah Quincy had already left the Quincy residence. What time did he leave, and where did
he go? Why did he have to conceal his movements? There was something fishy about this!
â¦â¦
All the trending articles that Angie and Suzette had promoted were taken down in less than an hour.
However, many netizens had already seen and read the articles while they were up. One such person
was Bruno Grant, Angieâs doting father. The moment he had read the article, he was ready to go to war
with whoever who caused his daughterâs misery.
âAngie, are the articles true? You let Noah sleep with you and dump you right after?â he asked Angie
through the phone.
âDad, itâs not my fault. Itâs Noah who cancelled the wedding!â Angie retorted shamefully. Her fatherâs
words had stung more than she had expected.
âSo, was it Noah you were with last night? Are you 100% sure?â Bruno sounded surprised and
confused.
âOf course, Dad! Who else could it be besides Noah? What do you mean by that? Do you not trust your
own daughter even though my name has been tarnished and dragged through the mood?â Angie cried,
feeling betrayed by her fatherâs line of questioning. Everyone in Imperia now knew that she had slept
with Noah Quincy. How was she going to live this down?
âAre you sure there was no one elseâ¦? That canât beâ¦â Bruno was muttering to himself more than he
was talking to Angie. His heart raced as he sensed something amiss, like a bad omen about to come
true.
Very quickly, Bruno took out his phone and opened an app to check his bank account balance. The
$1million he had asked for was still there. However, the remaining balance that was supposed to be
transferred over by this morning was nowhere to be seen. Bruno panicked slightly, wondering what had
changed since last night.
As he thought about the last nightâs turn of events, his phone rang in his pocket. The caller ID showed
Jerry Lowe was calling. Bruno picked up the call hastily, but before he could say anything, Jerryâs angry
voice assaulted his ears first.
âBruno Grant, are you messing with me? Did your daughter sleep with two men last night? Itâs a waste
sheâs not a prostitute!â Jerry cursed.
âJerry, there must be some kind of misunderstanding, Iâm sureâ¦â Bruno began.
âMisunderstanding? The headlines on Facebook are as clear as day! Your daughter spent the night
with me, then left halfway to service Noah Quincy instead. If sheâs not a whore, I donât know who is!â
Jerry blustered.
Bruno heard all the vile words Jerry used to describe his daughter, but he was in no position to say
anything to defend her. He made the decision to send his daughter into Jerryâs arms last night. Jerry
Lowe had agreed to give him $100million as capital for him to expand his business in return for his
daughter. He had also given him the $1million as an engagement deposit, but he insisted on âtrying the
goodsâ first. Bruno had complied with his request without hesitation. When he heard that Angie had
gone to the dinner party at the Quincys, he immediately called Jerry and told him when and where to
show up.
Everything had gone smoothly last night, so what went wrong? Bruno had even told Jerry about the
âhappy pillâ he had put in Angieâs purse last night.
âMr. Lowe, donât panic. Iâm very sure thereâs definitely a misunderstanding somewhere. Our Angie is
not like what you described at all. These headlines on Facebook must be a tactic that someone is using
to defame her. I hope you can understand the situation and be on her side, sir. After all, weâre going to
be a family soon, right?â Jerry assuaged.
He still did not have a clue as to what went wrong, but the Lowes were his lifeline and he could not
afford to destroy their relationship.
âYou wretched family! She was so sweet and compliant in my arms last night, but I bet she was even
sweeter to Noah Quincy. You think anyone would want to marry a used thing like her? Iâve been taken
for a fool!â Jerry continued his verbal abuse.
âMr. Lowe, please donât do this. I will find out who is behind all this and make it go away, I promise!â
Bruno tried to pacify the situation.
âNow, thatâs more like it!â Jerry finally succumbed to Brunoâs pleas.
âExactly, Mr. Lowe. Did Angie⦠satisfy you last night?â Bruno sensed an opening and went for it.
âAbout the $100million investmentâ¦â
âDid you hit your head on the ground and hurt your brain? Do you think Iâd still give you the money now
that things are like this? Dream on!â Jerry hung up the phone abruptly.
âMr. Lowe⦠Mr. Lowe, hello??â Bruno was about to continue when he realized Jerry had hung up.
Bruno was utterly defeated. Nothing could turn his mood around until he found out who was behind
this.
Hold up⦠When he was talking to Angie on the phone, she did not seem to mind the headlines per
seâ¦Unlessâ¦
A scary thought suddenly bubbled in his mind.
