Chapter 240


    Erm, it wasn''t that serious, was it? Madeline handed her a tissue, and she asked, "Why are you here?"


    Elise knew that Madeline had post-traumatic disorder, but Elise was crying as if she were dead.


    "Dn was eating at my house while Thomas called him. I rushed here with him. Why did you


    rpse?"


    "Some incidents happened. But I''m fine now; you can go back." Madeline nced at the entrance. She


    was not used to it when Noah did note running to her.


    "You''re so heartless. Did you know how worried I am? Fine, I know you can''t wait to see your


    sweetheart; I''ll call him in for you." Elise gave her a meaningful look, and she went out.


    Madeline anxiously blurted, "Don''tplicate things. I don''t want to see anyone; I''m going to bed."


    "You really don''t want to see him? Mr. Quincy has been guarding you outside all night; his eyes are as


    red as a rabbit''s."


    "No, I don''t want to." Madeline waved her off. If he really wants to meet me, wouldn''t hee in by


    himself? He couldn''t take the initiative?

    It''s okay. I''m fine with not seeing him.


    Elise recalled that Dn asked her not to trigger Madeline, so she did not insist. She changed into her


    slippers and said, "I''ll sleep with you, in case you have nightmares tonight."


    "I barely have nightmares recently." Madeline moved to give Elise some space.


    "Why? Is it because of Noah?" Elise purposely observed Madeline''s reaction when she mentioned


    Noah. Elise was relieved to see Madeline stable.


    "M-Maybe." Madeline thought about her newly developed disorder—sleepwalking. She suspected that


    it got better due to Noah.


    Could it be that deep down in my heart, I long to sleep with Noah?


    Madeline cheeks flustered.


    "Hey, I was lying right beside you. What are you fantasizing about?" Elise tapped on Madeline''s elbow.


    Madeline came back to her senses, and she responded, "I didn''t."


    "Don''t you tell me your cheeks are reddened due to the heat; I''m shivering over here. Come on, talk to


    me. Did you think about some restricted-rated scenes with Noah? How''s his body figure?"


    "Erm, he should be better than Dn."


    "Dn''s style is fragile beauty. They''re not in the same category."


    "So, you saw him naked before?"


    "I haveser eyes; I can see through him."


    On the 88th floor of the Golden Dome International District, Noah answered Wayne''s call.


    "Sir, Rowan has bailed Annalise out."


    "Well, let''s arrange marriage for her since she wants to marry so badly."


    "But she''s everyone''s favorite at the Sce family; they will never agree to a sudden arranged


    marriage."


    "Once she is deemed not useful to the Sce family, none of them will care about her anymore."


    Annalise was an idiot; one way or another, she would end up being abandoned by the Sce family.


    Noah did not mind elerating the progress for her since she harmed his wife.


    "I know what to do now, sir." Wayne hung up and started on the n.


    Mrs. Quincy is the most precious person to Sir. Ms. Sce will get it soon for offending her.


    The Sce family is rich and powerful internationally, but the Quincy family owns Imperia.


    Madeline saw two pairs of teary, innocent eyes when she opened her eyes, and she felt happy and


    energized seeing them.


    "Mommy, you''re finally awake! Are you hungry? Do you need something to drink?" Thomas climbed


    onto her and asked her a series of questions.


    Colt brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to her.


    Madeline took the cup and took a sip from it; she said, "Thank you, Colt. Thank you too, Thomas."


    "Mommy, you''re most wee. We''re a family. Daddy made some delicious pancakes; I''ll get some for


    you." Thomas trotted out after saying it.


    Madeline cleaned herself up after getting out of bed. She noticed Thomas and Colt each holding a


    te of pancakes, but she didn''t notice Noah. She was confused.


    "Daddy went to the office," Colt exined.


    Madeline nodded and had breakfast with them happily.


    Noah was still at the Golden Dome International District; he was looking at them through the


    surveince. He could not stop smiling while looking at Madeline.


    Dn was disgusted after looking at Noah; he went into the kitchen to eat Elise''s food.


    "Dn''s style is fragile beauty. They''re not in the same category."


    Annalise was at the Sunshine Vi. She looked into the mirror after showering and was furious to see


    the red marks on her face.


    She was the Sce family''s most adored daughter. She had always been in the spotlight wherever she


    went; countless powerful people wanted to know her.


    She never thought that she would lose to that lowly woman.


    "Anna, are you asleep?"


    Annalise changed her facial expression quickly when she heard Rowan''s voice. She opened the door


    and jumped into Rowan''s arms; she wept, "Ro, what''s happening? I''m new to Imperia; why would


    someone target me? Is it the Sce family''s adversary?"


    "Everyone knows that you''re the apple of our eye. None of our opponents dared target you." Actually,


    Rowan was fully aware of what had happened, including the incident at the charity association.


    My sister is overly protected by our family. It seems like she''s been raised into an arrogant and useless


    person.


    No matter how useless she is, no one can bully her.


    "Then who could it be? I had only enraged the Madame Chairman of the Charity Association before


    this. I wanted to show how much I value them, so I sent the documents myself to them. But all of them


    looked down on me; they even kicked me out."


    "My bodyguards stood up to protect me. I think the Madame Chairman has hated me ever since."


    "Don''t be scared; I will fight for your justice." No one can bully our beloved girl of the Sce family."


    Rowan patted Annalise on the head.


    Annalise immediately lightened up, and she said, "Ro, I know that I can always count on you. But since


    Madame Chairman is friends with Noah, he will be protecting her. She''s always seducing Noah…"


    "The Sce family is not afraid of the Quincy family." Rowan shrugged.


    Rowan investigated the information provided by Madame Chairmanter that night. He stared at her


    picture for a long time, and he dialed her phone number.


    "Ms. Madeline, I''m Annalise''s brother. Anna was immature, and she offended you. I wanted to bring her


    over to apologize to you. "Are you willing to ept it?"
