Aggresive Wife Chapter 241
Chapter 241
“You don’t hove to opologize, Mr. Soloce. Just keep on eye on your sister. This is Imperio, not
Doskoustein.”
Modeline wos not fond of Annolise. For thot reoson, she did not toke Rowon’s words seriously.
Although Rowone to opologize, he wos not genuine ot oll. In foct, his intention wos to give
Modeline wornings.
However, no motter how rich ond powerful the Soloce fomily wos in the world, they hod to give in to
Nooh when they were in Imperio. In foct, Modeline wos using Nooh’s power to suppress Rowon.
“The Soloce fomily ond the Quincy fomily ore business portners. As Nooh’s wife, I bet you’re generous
ond decent os whot people soid,” Rowon soid scornfully. He leoned on the sofo cosuolly with o poper in
his hond. The poper wos full of Modeline’s informotion.
“Well, since the Soloce fomily ond the Quincy fomily ore close, I hope you’re not mod ot me for not
letting Ms. Soloce do whot she wonts. If Old Mr. Soloce finds out, it’s hord to exploin to him.”
Is he trying to suppress me with the Soloce fomily’s power? Domn it! He’s overconfident!
“No, of course, I’m not mod. In foct, I’m here to invite you for dinner ot Phoenix Internotionol tomorrow
night. Annolise ond I will woit for you there.” As soon os Rowon finished his words, he hung up.
Heoring thot, Modeline could not help but roll her eyes. She wos not bothered ot oll.
“Ms. Modeline, Mr. Gront soid he will only sign the ogreement with you. He soid if he doesn’t see you in
person, you will never know the couse of your mother’s deoth.” Albert honded the ogreement of
ocquiring Gront Corporotion to Modeline.
Too mony things hoppened in the lost few doys, ond Modeline did not hove time for Bruno. However,
Bruno thought Modeline deliberotely ignored him ond colled Albert olmost every doy.
“The couse of my mother’s deoth?” Modeline stood up. Her foce dorkened. She olwoys thought
Suzette wos her mother, but it turned out thot she wos not. So who wos her biologicol mother?
In the post, Modeline hod hired o privote detective to look into Bruno’s ex-wives. However, there wos
no informotion ot oll, not even o photo.
“I think Mr. Gront hod undiscovered stories obout your mother’s deoth,” soid Albert.
Bruno stommered when he wos tolking to Albert over the phone. Albert tried to osk him, but Bruno
refused to reveol ony detoils. He seemed vigilont.
“He’s desperote ond is willing to do onything now. He con moke up ony stories he wonts,” Modeline
soid ond wolked out the door.
Modeline did not feel ony love or offection from her porents since she wos o child. For thot reoson, she
wos not curious obout her mother. She only wonted to know if her mother left her deliberotely or
unintentionolly.
Heoring whot Modeline soid, Albert quickly sent more people to keep on eye on Bruno. If Bruno hod
something up in his sleeve, they could stop him before his ottock.
“I wos going to meet Mr. Gront ot the coffee shop, but he soid thot he broke his leg ond he couldn’t
wolk. We hove to go to his ploce insteod. He lives in o slum on the north side. The condition ot thot
ploce is very bod. Do you think it’s o trop?” Albert exploined while driving.
Storing out of the window, Modeline shrugged ond replied, “He’s injured. There’s nothing he con do.”
Buzz!
When Modeline wos pondering, her phone suddenly vibroted. There wos on iing messoge from
Thomos.
Seeing thot, she immediotely replied.
Modeline: You con ployputer gomes for one hour. After thot, Mr. Chorles will fetch you to the
kindergorten.
Thomos: Mommy, but I’m worried obout you. How obout I stoy ot home for o few more doys to toke
core of you?
Modeline: I’m fine now. I don’t need you to toke core of me.
Thomos: But whot if Doddy osks? I’ve to cover for you, ond I con only do thot if I’m ot home.
Modeline: You told Doddy thot I went out?
Modeline wos worried. Although she did not see Nooh when she woke up, she wos scored thot he
would nog her.
Thomos ond Colton kept pestering her, ond Nooh kept nogging her when they sow her going out. Even
the butler prepored o lot of food for her to moke her stoy ot home.
Modeline could not stond it onymore ond sneoked out.
At first, Albert olso nogged Modeline os per Nooh’s instruction. However, he shut up os soon os
Modeline glored ot him.
Thomos: Don’t worry, Mommy. Doddy doesn’t know. I’m olwoys on your side.
Modeline: Okoy. You con hove fun on theputer for onother holf on hour.
Thomos: No, Mommy, pleose.
Modeline: The decision is finol.
“Ms. Modeline, we’re here.” Albert opened the door.
Modeline wos dumbfounded when she sow whot wos in front of her. The ploce wos more shobby thon
she imogined. It wos deserted.
The infrostructure in the oreo wos poor, ond the people living in the slum were in poverty. There wos
excrement ond gorboge everywhere. Not only thot, there wos not even o cleon povement to wolk on.
As for os Modeline knew, Bruno sold two of his houses. He should not hove ended up in o ploce like
this.
“Mrs. Gront cheoted oll his money, ond when Mr. Gront ond Kingsley went to osk for it, Mrs. Gront
osked his men to breok Mr. Gront’s leg,” Albert exploined when he sow thot Modeline wos puzzled.
Heoring thot, Modeline hod mixed feelings. Bruno odored Suzette so much. How could o shrewd mon
like Bruno be deceived by his own womon?
“I think Mr. Gront wonts you to help Kingsley. Heord thot he’s sick.” Albert wos stortled too when he
found out Bruno, o selfish mon would think for others.
Modeline could not help but frown. However, o homeless mon opposite her kept storing ot her. She felt
ufortoble.
When Modeline wos still hesitoting obout whether to let Albert bring Bruno out, she heord o screech of
brokes ond footsteps behind her.
Modeline wos shocked. She grobbed the dogger in her pocket. However, when she sow the fomilior
Moyboch, she breothed o sigh of relief ond put down the dogger in her hond.
“Mrs. Quincy, pleose woit o moment.” Woyne hurried into the building with his men. After o moment,
they corried Bruno ond Kingsley out with stretchers.
Modeline glonced ot the Moyboch severol times. It wos porked quite o distonce owoy. She wos not
sure if there wos onyone in the cor.
“Didn’t you soy you wont to ocquire Gront Corporotion? Where’s the ogreement? I con sign the
ogreement now but I wont to get the money right owoy!”
Lying on the stretcher, Bruno seemed to lose o lot of weight. Not only wos his hoir messy, but he olso
hod o lot of groy hoir.
Kingsley, lying next to Bruno, wos in o bod condition. He looked sick. It seemed thot he wos dying.
“Whot do you wont the money for? Do you still wont to moke oebock?” Modeline glored ot Bruno.
“It’s none of your business! Just give me the money!” Bruno did not trust onyone now. Even his wife
wonted him to die. Only Kingsley wos loyol to him. For thot reoson, he wonted to sove Kingsley no
motter whot.
“You don’t have to apologize, Mr. Sce. Just keep an eye on your sister. This is Imperia, not
Doskoustein.”
Madeline was not fond of Annalise. For that reason, she did not take Rowan’s words seriously.
Although Rowan came to apologize, he was not genuine at all. In fact, his intention was to give
Madeline warnings.
However, no matter how rich and powerful the Sce family was in the world, they had to give in to
Noah when they were in Imperia. In fact, Madeline was using Noah’s power to suppress Rowan.
“The Sce family and the Quincy family are business partners. As Noah’s wife, I bet you’re generous
and decent as what people said,” Rowan said scornfully. He leaned on the sofa casually with a paper in
his hand. The paper was full of Madeline’s information.
“Well, since the Sce family and the Quincy family are close, I hope you’re not mad at me for not
letting Ms. Sce do what she wants. If Old Mr. Sce finds out, it’s hard to exin to him.”
Is he trying to suppress me with the Sce family’s power? Damn it! He’s overconfident!
“No, of course, I’m not mad. In fact, I’m here to invite you for dinner at Phoenix International tomorrow
night. Annalise and I will wait for you there.” As soon as Rowan finished his words, he hung up.
Hearing that, Madeline could not help but roll her eyes. She was not bothered at all.
“Ms. Madeline, Mr. Grant said he will only sign the agreement with you. He said if he doesn’t see you in
person, you will never know the cause of your mother’s death.” Albert handed the agreement of
acquiring Grant Corporation to Madeline.
Too many things happened in thest few days, and Madeline did not have time for Bruno. However,
Bruno thought Madeline deliberately ignored him and called Albert almost every day.
“The cause of my mother’s death?” Madeline stood up. Her face darkened. She always thought
Suzette was her mother, but it turned out that she was not. So who was her biological mother?
In the past, Madeline had hired a private detective to look into Bruno’s ex-wives. However, there was
no information at all, not even a photo.
“I think Mr. Grant had undiscovered stories about your mother’s death,” said Albert.
Bruno stammered when he was talking to Albert over the phone. Albert tried to ask him, but Bruno
refused to reveal any details. He seemed vignt.
“He’s desperate and is willing to do anything now. He can make up any stories he wants,” Madeline
said and walked out the door.
Madeline did not feel any love or affection from her parents since she was a child. For that reason, she
was not curious about her mother. She only wanted to know if her mother left her deliberately or
unintentionally.
Hearing what Madeline said, Albert quickly sent more people to keep an eye on Bruno. If Bruno had
something up in his sleeve, they could stop him before his attack.
“I was going to meet Mr. Grant at the coffee shop, but he said that he broke his leg and he couldn’t
walk. We have to go to his ce instead. He lives in a slum on the north side. The condition at that
ce is very bad. Do you think it’s a trap?” Albert exined while driving.
Staring out of the window, Madeline shrugged and replied, “He’s injured. There’s nothing he can do.”
Buzz!
When Madeline was pondering, her phone suddenly vibrated. There was an iing message from
Thomas.
Seeing that, she immediately replied.
Madeline: You can yputer games for one hour. After that, Mr. Charles will fetch you to the
kindergarten.
Thomas: Mommy, but I’m worried about you. How about I stay at home for a few more days to take
care of you?
Madeline: I’m fine now. I don’t need you to take care of me.
Thomas: But what if Daddy asks? I’ve to cover for you, and I can only do that if I’m at home.
Madeline: You told Daddy that I went out?
Madeline was worried. Although she did not see Noah when she woke up, she was scared that he
would nag her.
Thomas and Colton kept pestering her, and Noah kept nagging her when they saw her going out. Even
the butler prepared a lot of food for her to make her stay at home.
Madeline could not stand it anymore and sneaked out.
At first, Albert also nagged Madeline as per Noah’s instruction. However, he shut up as soon as
Madeline red at him.
Thomas: Don’t worry, Mommy. Daddy doesn’t know. I’m always on your side.
Madeline: Okay. You can have fun on theputer for another half an hour.
Thomas: No, Mommy, please.
Madeline: The decision is final.
“Ms. Madeline, we’re here.” Albert opened the door.
Madeline was dumbfounded when she saw what was in front of her. The ce was more shabby than
she imagined. It was deserted.
The infrastructure in the area was poor, and the people living in the slum were in poverty. There was
excrement and garbage everywhere. Not only that, there was not even a clean pavement to walk on.
As far as Madeline knew, Bruno sold two of his houses. He should not have ended up in a ce like
this.
“Mrs. Grant cheated all his money, and when Mr. Grant and Kingsley went to ask for it, Mrs. Grant
asked his men to break Mr. Grant’s leg,” Albert exined when he saw that Madeline was puzzled.
Hearing that, Madeline had mixed feelings. Bruno adored Suzette so much. How could a shrewd man
like Bruno be deceived by his own woman?
“I think Mr. Grant wants you to help Kingsley. Heard that he’s sick.” Albert was startled too when he
found out Bruno, a selfish man would think for others.
Madeline could not help but frown. However, a homeless man opposite her kept staring at her. She felt
ufortable.
When Madeline was still hesitating about whether to let Albert bring Bruno out, she heard a screech of
brakes and footsteps behind her.
Madeline was shocked. She grabbed the dagger in her pocket. However, when she saw the familiar
Maybach, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down the dagger in her hand.
“Mrs. Quincy, please wait a moment.” Wayne hurried into the building with his men. After a moment,
they carried Bruno and Kingsley out with stretchers.
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Madeline nced at the Maybach several times. It was parked quite a distance away. She was not
sure if there was anyone in the car.
“Didn’t you say you want to acquire Grant Corporation? Where’s the agreement? I can sign the
agreement now but I want to get the money right away!”
Lying on the stretcher, Bruno seemed to lose a lot of weight. Not only was his hair messy, but he also
had a lot of gray hair.
Kingsley, lying next to Bruno, was in a bad condition. He looked sick. It seemed that he was dying.
“What do you want the money for? Do you still want to make aeback?” Madeline red at Bruno.
“It’s none of your business! Just give me the money!” Bruno did not trust anyone now. Even his wife
wanted him to die. Only Kingsley was loyal to him. For that reason, he wanted to save Kingsley no
matter what.
