Chapter 69
Noah was in an extremely good mood in the Quinton Corporation headquarters today, and his
productivity increased significantly as a result. Very likely, he had not realized that his mind was
completely upied with the fact that his son was now at Madeline''s ce, and he had to finish his
work as soon as possible so he could pick him up.
As a result, when Wayne rushed in frantically with a tabletputer in one hand, he was confronted by
the sight of his boss looking into the distance with a rxed expression and a faint smile.
For a moment, Wayne thought he was dreaming.
"Sir…"
"Yes?" When Noah turned around, he was no longer smiling, and his expression was once more aloof
as usual.
Wayne pulled himself together, certain that he had definitely been imagining things. Hurriedly, he thrust
the tablet onto Noah''s desk. "Sir, we have a problem. There''s a hot topic trending on social media right
now, saying…well, you''d better have a look at it yourself."
His assistant''s awkward expression gave Noah pause, and his expression darkened.
However, all he did was click on the tablet screen. Immediately, a headline popped up, stating boldly,
"The Perfect Couple! Imperia''s Most Eligible Millionaire Noah Quincy To Tie The Knot Soon!" It was the
hottest topic trending on social media right now.
Not only that, the headline was gged with a shing red "Hot Topic!" icon.
Noah clicked on the headline, and a carefully edited photograph popped up. It was the picture that the
photographer had taken of him, Colton, and Madelinest night. He stopped scrolling and looked at the
picture for a moment, then continued reading the rest of the article.
When he saw the multiple well wishes and congrattory messages responding to the article, he could
not help smiling very faintly.
Wayne, who was standing nearby and as nervous as if he were walking on eggshells, caught sight of
Noah''s smiling expression. Immediately his heart began thudding hard in his chest.
Noah was absolutely furious; there was no doubt about it! The signs were unmistakable.
Wayne was aware he should have taken steps to suppress that headline first before telling Noah about
it! The media was truly bing far too bold these days; this rumor was far too outrageous for words!
"Sir, I''ll call them up and make them take down that headline! I''ve already checked; the organization
responsible for it is Gxy Media. Are we going to buy them over as usual or sue them into
bankruptcy?" Seeing that Noah continued to remain silent, Wayne broke out into a cold sweat and
hurriedly tried to save his own skin.
"Good job. The headline can stay up."
"Excuse me?" Wayne could hardly believe his ears.
"Oh, before I forget. Gxy Media is a privatepany?"

"Yes, it''s only been around for less than a year, ording to what I''ve been able to dig up." To Wayne,
Gxy Media was a brash young upstart in the business world; it was high time to teach them the
consequences of reckless actions!
"Give them some funding, and let them continue what they''re doing."
"Sir…let me get this straight. You''re not only going to let them keep that headline up, but you''re also
going to invest in them?"
Wayne could not make head or tail of his employer''s odd behavior. Didn''t Noah detest it when people
spread false rumors about him? In fact, he hated it most when it was rumors of marriage. In the past,
many women had tried to use the gossip tabloids to worm their way into bing Noah''s significant
other. Angie aside, every single one of those women had not fared well; they had either been shunned
into obscurity or sacked from their jobs. Some of them had even been transferred to the coal mines of
Alewell!
What on earth was going on?
"Did I not express myself clearly enough? Or have you be bored with this job, so your work
performance is suffering? Do you want to be transferred to Alewell to dig irrigation canals?" Wayne''s
hesitation finally seeded in drawing Noah''s attention.
"I''ll get in touch with Gxy Media right away!" Wayne turned and fled from the room.
Noah was in an expansive mood, so he did not nitpick at his assistant. Instead, he continued scrolling
down the responses to the headline and reading with great satisfaction.
…
Suzette and Angie waited in the living room of the Quincy residence for two hours, but Noah still did not
put in an appearance.
Suzette felt increasingly certain that something was not right. The servants were all busy with their
allotted tasks and ignored both of them. Furthermore, nobody was willing to speak to the pair at all and
gave them the strangest nces.
"Mom, something feels off about this. Why hasn''t Noah shown up yet? Do you think he''s choosing to
deny the entire matter?"
"Does he think he can deny something like this just because he chooses to turn a blind eye? Don''t
worry, we''ll wait a little longer." Suzette could see that something was wrong, but this was a golden
opportunity. If they didn''t take advantage of it, Angie might never be able to be part of the Quincy
family.
No matter what, Suzette wanted Noah here to exin himself!
She could not sit still any longer. Just as she got up, intending to look for the butler, she found that Mr.
Charles had taken the initiative to approach her first, a clean set of clothes over one arm.
"I apologize for the long wait, Mrs. Grant and Ms. Grant. Mr. Noah has instructed me to prepare this set
of clothes for Ms. Grant." Mr. Charles was scrupulously polite. He gestured to the maid standing beside
him, and she presented Angie with a white dress.
The garment was simple and elegant in design; it was undoubtedly expensive.
Angie''s eyes lit up immediately when she saw her present. Noah had taken the time to prepare a dress
for her! Did that mean she had finally seeded in her scheme? At this point, she practically saw
herself as the young mistress of the Quincy household already, and her mind was busy with fantasies
of the prestige and respect she would gain.
It was too delightful for words!
"Oh my, this is a beautiful dress! Noah''s so thoughtful!" When Suzette saw the dress, she was ecstatic
and could not stop herself from gushing.
"Mr. Charles, where''s Noah? When can I see him?" Angie enquired in a gentle, somewhat shy voice.
Even though she was deliriously happy, she still had to maintain her facade as a gentle, well-breddy
of quality.
She had expected Mr. Charles to treat her with a little more courtesy since she was practically Mrs.
Noah Quincy already, but the butler did not even look at her. His attitude toward her was just as coldly
dignified as before.
"Ms. Grant, once you''ve changed into the dress, you may return home. Treat it as a sign of Mr. Noah''s
courtesy to you."
"What do you mean, Mr. Charles?"
"That''s right! What do you mean by asking her to change and then leave? Are the Quincies trying to
shirk responsibility for the matter?"
"Mr. Noah said that he was not here in the vist night. Those were his exact words. Ms. Grant is the
person best acquainted with the situation and what happened. However, since this took ce within the
vi''s grounds, we will do our best to fulfill whatever she might want or need."
"Noah wasn''t here in the vi? What nonsense is this? Last night he was with me the entire time! How
could I be mistaken about that?" Angie felt as if she had been struck by a thunderp at Mr. Charles''s
words.
What sort of ridiculous excuse was that?
She and Noah had experienced unbridled passion thatsted all through the night. Had he woken up
earlier and thought of this sorry excuse to dismiss her?
How dare he!
"I''ve already conveyed Mr. Noah''s message as requested, Mrs. Grant and Ms. Grant. He also hopes
that the Grant family will consider its reputation and not involve the Quincy family any further." Mr.
Charles remained courteous as always. With a slight nod, he turned to leave.
However, before he could depart, Suzette sprang forward and caught hold of his arm.
"Nonsense! Does Noah Quincy think he can drop his pants without consequences and expect Angie to
stay quiet? He must be dreaming! Ask Noah toe out here right now and give me an exnation, or
I won''t leave!"
