Chapter 260
"Mr. Quincy, is Ms. Madeline alright?" Rowan interrupted Noah''s thoughts.
Noah frowned and looked at him; Rowan had been mentioning Madeline''s name several times tonight.
He was dissatisfied with it.
"Mr. Sce, do you know my wife?"
"Yes, I happened to meet a group of hooligans and almost got killed by them. Ms. Madeline helped me
escape the danger. I was nning to visit her to express my thanks." Rowan smiled subconsciously
while talking about Madeline.
Noah could tell something was wrong at a nce.
He realised that he had overlooked something. It was rumoured that the Sce family overindulged
Annalise, especially her three brothers. They would hold a grand birthday celebration for her and give
her treasures all around the world.
But the man who doted on Annalise was hinting that the Sce family would not entrust their business
to her.
Apart from ensuring the benefits for all, is there an alternative motive?
"Here are some gifts I prepared for Ms. Madeline; could you please pass them to her?" Rowan
signalled his bodyguards, and each of them walked forward with a gift box.
Noah nced at the packaging of each gift box, and she knew that all of them were expensive.
Be it an expression of apology or gratitude, these gifts are too much.
"Mr. Sce, you don''t have to do this. My wife is afraid of trouble. It might be your unintentional move,
but she would be bothered by it. It will create trouble for her."
"I insist on doing these for her. Please ask her to take it lightly. She can keep the ones she likes, and
donates the rest to the Charity Association."
"My wife has always epted gifts from me only; it would be better for you to donate all of them."
Noah rejected him coldly and left the hospital.
A man in ck entered the ward through the window after Noah had left.
"Did you get it?" Rowan tried to control his emotions, but his expression showed that he was excited.
"Mr. Sce, Ms. Madeline''s room was awfully clean. There''s not even one strand of hair in sight. It was
as if she were deliberately on guard."
"O-Oh… really? You should go get some good rest." Rowan sighed in disappointment.
"Ro, Ro… Are you here?" Annalise''s voice came from outside the door.
The man in ck left on Rowan''s order.
"What''s wrong?"
"Ro, I''m afraid. The moment I closed my eyes, I would see uncontained fire." Annalise threw herself
into his arms. Actually, she was rarely so close to her brothers.

But tonight, she was terrified tonight, not only of the fire, and also the man that almost sexually
assaulted her.
She kept seeing his perverted smile as he tore her clothes.
Rowan went stiff when he was hugged by her. He was stunned and then he said, "Everything''s alright
now, we will be back to Uranica tomorrow."
"Back to Uranica? I refuse to!" She was taken aback.
Rowan glowered, and he said, "Grandpa is worried about you upon hearing the incident. He asked me
to bring you back. Anna, you''re always reasonable."
Annalise had to continue her act as an obedient girl. She lowered her head and muttered, "I haven''t
gotten the Global Ambassador for Phnthropy; I don''t want to disappoint Grandpa."
"Anna, the Charity Association announced Ms. Taylor as their ambassador. It''s meaningless for you to
stay back." Rowan tried to persuade her.
Annalise made up her mind to stay, so she said, "Maybe if I stay and do more good deeds, they will
make me a charity ambassador next year. Ro, I don''t want to fail and run away from it; Grandpa would
be sad."
"Did you stay because of Noah?" Rowan directly asked her.
Even though he had doubts about Annalise now, he still used to pamper her for more than ten years.
He felt it was harsh to do a paternity test with her again.
He was scared to hurt her, yet he was scared that he guessed correctly.
Annalise blushed a little, and then she knelt down and said, "Ro, I''ve never begged you for anything.
Just this time, I really need your help. I''m madly in love with Noah; I want to marry him."
"But he is married with three children."
"Ever since I''ve returned to the Sce family, everyone has told me that I''m his fiancée. I was always
hoping to grow up faster so I could marry him. It''s Madeline''s fault! She tricked Naoh into marrying her
with her pregnancy!"
She continued to say, "Ro, she''s the one that stole Noah from me. She should return him to me."
Annalise pulled Rowan''s trousers, and tears streamed down her face.
"Anna, it still doesn''t change the fact that he''s married. You''re the daughter of the Sce family; you
don''t have to be so stubborn and narrow-minded; there''s always a better man out there."
"I don''t care! I want him and only him! Ro, I would rather die if you won''t help me out!" Annalise dashed
to the window after yelling at Rowan.
Fortunately, the bodyguard dragged her away instantly.
"Okay… I promise to let you stay, but if you ever try to hurt Madeline again, no one can save you! Not
even me and grandpa. Grandpa did love you very much, but not at the cost of the Sce Corporation.
Rowan''s words were a bit harsh, and her face turned pale upon hearing them. She clenched her fists to
suppress her anger.
In the rose castle in Skeynia, Joseph was sitting on a couch miserably. Half of his hair was burned, and
several burned injuries could be seen all over his body.
He held a burnt ne in his hand. He smoldered with resentment.
"Sir, Madam''s favorite garden was destroyed, and there is not a single flower left." Fred''s condition was
worsepared to Joseph''s, and he was dissatisfied.
We were so close to killing Noah tonight, but just because Sir couldn''t bring himself to hurt Madeline, all
our efforts went down the drain.
"Noah Quincy, well done." Joseph gritted his teeth as he spoke. He kicked over the coffee table in front
of him.
The ss shattered all over the floor.
"Our cooperation with the Sce Corporation waspletely cut off." Madeline was behind it.
"How did Maddie know the people from the Sce family?" Joseph was furious; nothing went his way
tonight.
