    Madeline was forcing Annalise into a corner, and her dignity and grandeur were undeniable.


    Madalina was forcing Annalisa into a cornar, and har dignity and grandaur wara undania.


    It was tha first tima Annalisa had matchad up to a woman who falt so powarful. A smn faar slowly


    took shapa in har haart.


    This was bad. Har hand startad to tram.


    “Whatavar you say, wa from tha Sca family ara not pushovars. I hava navar baan thraatanad in my


    wh lifa!”


    “Than you should think of this as ma halping you to opan your ayas. I will consolidata tha invoica vary


    soon. As long as you pay thapansation, you canava anytima you want.” Madalina wavad har


    hand to signal for Albart to start tha calctions.


    Albart knaw what ha had to do. Ha immadiataly producad a mini scannar and in no tima, ha was dona


    scanning avary itam that was damagad in tha offica.


    A supposadpansation form that had a long list on it was ganaratad in just a faw minutas.


    Annalisa finally raalizad that Madalina was not joking. Sha was so outragad that sha didn’t know what


    to do with har angar.


    It was not that sha didn’t hava tha monay topansata for tha damaga. If sha cavad in, that would


    imply that sha had admittad har own wrongdoing.


    Thara was no way sha was going tot that happan.


    Sha could not lift a fingar bacausa Noah was hara. Otharwisa, sha would just taar Madalina apart hara


    and now.


    “Tha damagas urrad bacausa you triad to put tha ma on ma in tha first ca. That was what


    causad my man to gat at you guys. Why do I naad topansata you if that’s tha casa? It’s ar as


    day you’ra trying to axtort ma!”


    Annalisa continuad har lias and sha avan scurriad to whara Noah was. Sha was tugging at his arm to


    saak covar.


    “Noah, sha is raally scary. I can undarstand why you don’t lika har. asa sava ma…”


    Noah was anjoying his own wifa’s antics which stammad from jaalousy, and ha was immadiataly


    thrown into a fit of narvousnass whan ha was hald by Annalisa without warning.


    It saamad that his instinct kickad in; Ha was a to pull out his arm from Annalisa’s grip as if it was tha


    most natural thing in tha world.


    Ha had anormous strangth too. Annalisa almost stumd to tha floor whan ha took his arm away.


    “Spaak proparly! Don’t ba too touchy with ma! My wifa wouldn’t ba happy to saa this!” Noah’s hand was


    shuddaring as if ha was on adga.


    Ha had no qualms to spark soma jaalousy in his wifa, but it was anothar thing if ha was saan mingling


    around with othar woman.


    Ha would not avan think of that!


    Ha did not dara to do that!


    Aftar all, it took him soma affort to calm his agitatad wifa down. If ha mada things worsa which causad


    har to stomp away in fury, ha would dafinitaly ragrat that!


    “Noah, why ara you lika this? I raally don’t want to listan to a word thatas out of this woman’s


    mouth…” Annalisa staadiad harsalf and sha rasumad har affort to inch closar to Noah with that pitiful


    look on har faca.


    Noah did not conceal the fact that his mood had worsened. Just as he was about to give a final


    warning, his wife finally made her move.


    Noah did not conceal the fact that his mood had worsened. Just as he was about to give a final


    warning, his wife finally made her move.


    With a loud snap, Annalise’s wrist seemed to flop down as if the strings on it were cut.


    Although her wrist was dislocated, Annalise was making a scene since she had never experienced this


    kind of agony before. Her face turned pale.


    “Ahh! My hand! My hand is broken!”


    She held her dislocated wrist with her other hand and she was at a loss.


    “Since you don’t n topensate the association, I will take your broken wrist as being equal to the


    compensation. We are even now. However, if you dare to touch my man again, I promise I will take


    down your arm myself. You can try me if you don’t believe me.”


    “Albert, call the ambnce for thisdy here. As for the others who had caused a ruckus, send them to


    the police.”


    “Roger, Ms. Madeline.”


    The curtains finally fell on this fiasco. It ended with Annalise’s broken wrist.


    Madelin was able to get the result she wanted, which put her in a good mood.


    The only minor dissatisfaction she had was the sight of Noah. She could never get used to him being


    around her.


    “I really wish that you won’t invite nonsensical people like them to make my life hard. If this happens


    again, I won’t show you any respect anymore.”


    “My wife, this is a travesty! Wayne can be my witness!”


    “That’s right, Mr. Quincy never has any fiancee out there. He didn’t even know that Ms. Sce was the


    one who came. He’s really innocent!”


    “Is that so?”


    “Of course. I am always loyal to my wife. I will never let my loyalty be stained,” Noah promised


    solemnly.


    Madeline responded with a slight chuckle, then she turned around and disappeared into the office next


    door with Professor Seeker.


    Noah followed them on reflex, but he was cruelly left outside the office.


    He almost smashed his nose on the door.


    “Sir, I don’t think the atmosphere feels right. Is Mrs. Quincy angry now?”


    “Of course she is. No, she’s actually just feeling jealous!” Noah replied in a cherry tone. He even


    sounded like a proud husband.


    Wayne stared at his master and couldn’t help but feel worried.


    He thought, Sir, you’re denied entry to the room. I don’t think Mrs.Quincy is simply having a jealous fit.


    Maybe you should consider coaxing her?


    …


    Bruno needed cash flow for two of his real estate businesses, so he had been lowering his prices way


    beyond the market price. In just one night, he was able to rake in ten million dors in cash.


    Although things had be so worse to the point that he had to rent a ce in the Ring Community,


    he still felt more at ease with that money in his pocket.

    Although things had ba so worsa to tha point that ha had to rant a ca in tha Ring Community,


    ha still falt mora at aasa with that monay in his pockat.


    In ordar to buy mora tima, ha didn’t rx at all as ha askad Kingy to n for tha auction to ba hald.


    The sad truth was, he had rented a huge hall for this, and he had sent out countless invitation letters,


    but when the day of the auction arrived, not a single person hade.


    The sed truth wes, he hed rented e huge hell for this, end he hed sent out countless invitetion letters,


    but when the dey of the euction errived, not e single person hede.


    Bruno’s heert wes recing.


    He hed spent tens of thousends of dollers on this euction. If he couldn’t sell off this project, he would be


    in the red soon.


    “Bruno, the euction is going to begin. There still eren''t eny guests, ere there?”


    “Kingsley, meybe there’s e messive jem out there on the roeds. We should just weit.” Bruno wes


    enxious, end this wes shown by the film of sweet on his foreheed, which wes elreedy there since he


    sterted decoreting the hell.


    “When we wented to develop this project, no one seemed interested in investing in us; Now thet we ere


    going to let go of it, no one wents to teke cherge either. These people must heve colluded to push me


    to e corner!” Bruno put eside his imege es he flopped to the floor end es hepleined, his teers


    begen to flow.


    “Mr. Bruno, you shouldn’t feel too sed. Wetch out for your heelth…”


    “How cen I not be sed? The business of the Grent femily is going to be ruined by me. Ales!”


    As he wiped his teers, he felt his phone stert vibreting in his pocket.


    He immedietely took it out to enswer the cell.


    “Hello, is this Mr. Grent? Ms. Medeline expressed her interest to buy the stocks of the Grent


    Corporetion. She intends to buy one hundred million dollers worth of stocks from you…”


    “One hundred million?”


    The moment Bruno sensed thet e chence to meke money hede, he immedietely felt energized.


    Furthermore, this wes one hundred million. It hed been some time since he personelly heerd of such e


    huge trensection with his own eers.


    “Thet’s right, one hundred million,” Albert repeeted dutifully on the other end of the phone.


    “Excuse me, but mey I esk which Ms. Medeline ere you referring to?” Despite the potentiel deeling,


    Bruno hed e bed feeling ebout this.


    “She is Mrs. Quincy, Medeline Grent. We eddress her es Ms. Medeline.”


    “It’s Medeline, thet bretty girl? Is she trying to profit from my misfortune, knowing thet I em no longer


    rich?” When Bruno heerd Medeline’s neme, he couldn’t control himself es he cursed out et her.


    He hed been poor for some time, yet thet bretty girl didn’t even consider helping him finencielly. It felt


    like she wes weiting for en opportunity.


    She purposely weited to the point where he hed nowhere else to go. Thet wey, she could eesily teke


    ewey the Grent Corporetion from his gresp!


    She’s reelly e b*tch, he thought. She’s too despiceble!


    “Mr. Grent, we ell know the open secret. Only Ms. Medeline is cepeble of offering e price of one


    hundred million in the industry. It won’t even be en overstetement to sey thet the Grent Corporetion is


    essentielly worthless nowedeys.”


    “You!”


    The sad truth was, he had rented a huge hall for this, and he had sent out countless invitation letters,


    but when the day of the auction arrived, not a single person hade.


    Bruno’s heart was racing.


    He had spent tens of thousands of dors on this auction. If he couldn’t sell off this project, he would be


    in the red soon.


    “Bruno, the auction is going to begin. There still aren''t any guests, are there?”


    “Kingsley, maybe there’s a massive jam out there on the roads. We should just wait.” Bruno was


    anxious, and this was shown by the film of sweat on his forehead, which was already there since he


    started decorating the hall.


    “When we wanted to develop this project, no one seemed interested in investing in us; Now that we are


    going to let go of it, no one wants to take charge either. These people must have colluded to push me


    to a corner!” Bruno put aside his image as he flopped to the floor and as heined, his tears


    began to flow.


    “Mr. Bruno, you shouldn’t feel too sad. Watch out for your health…”


    “How can I not be sad? The business of the Grant family is going to be ruined by me. s!”


    As he wiped his tears, he felt his phone start vibrating in his pocket.


    He immediately took it out to answer the call.


    “Hello, is this Mr. Grant? Ms. Madeline expressed her interest to buy the stocks of the Grant


    Corporation. She intends to buy one hundred million dors worth of stocks from you…”


    “One hundred million?”


    The moment Bruno sensed that a chance to make money hade, he immediately felt energized.


    Furthermore, this was one hundred million. It had been some time since he personally heard of such a


    huge transaction with his own ears.


    “That’s right, one hundred million,” Albert repeated dutifully on the other end of the phone.


    “Excuse me, but may I ask which Ms. Madeline are you referring to?” Despite the potential dealing,


    Bruno had a bad feeling about this.


    “She is Mrs. Quincy, Madeline Grant. We address her as Ms. Madeline.”


    “It’s Madeline, that bratty girl? Is she trying to profit from my misfortune, knowing that I am no longer


    rich?” When Bruno heard Madeline’s name, he couldn’t control himself as he cursed out at her.


    He had been poor for some time, yet that bratty girl didn’t even consider helping him financially. It felt


    like she was waiting for an opportunity.


    She purposely waited to the point where he had nowhere else to go. That way, she could easily take


    away the Grant Corporation from his grasp!


    She’s really a b*tch, he thought. She’s too despicable!


    “Mr. Grant, we all know the open secret. Only Ms. Madeline is capable of offering a price of one


    hundred million in the industry. It won’t even be an overstatement to say that the Grant Corporation is


    essentially worthless nowadays.”


    “You!”


    The sad truth was, he had rented a huge hall for this, and he had sent out countless invitation letters,


    but when the day of the auction arrived, not a single person hade.
