Chapter 5


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


    doctor, Dn Felch, and Angie. Thetter 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 Dn 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. Dn''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, Dn hurriedly carried the


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


    someone ring 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 ck coat and rolled up the sleeves of his


    fitting white shirt.


    Angie sat next to him, feeling uneasy. It never urred 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''ste. 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 nced 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 cklisted


    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 cklisted from charity events!


    Angie Grant has been kicked out of the charity event''s invitees list!Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    As Angie continued to read the harshments from theizens, 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 red 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


    Phnthropy. 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 aa at the hospital, but his condition had stabilized. Madeline stayed


    by his side the entire time to keep himpany. She browsed through the headlines on herptop and


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


    satisfaction, it''s been five years since west 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 hourter."
