Chapter 261


    "Madeline did not get along with Annalise. Mr. Sce brought Annalise to apologise to her at the


    Phoenix International yesterday. The Sce family misunderstood that we set the fire."


    "They thought that we almost hurt the two of them, so they cut off their ties with us."


    "Then what does this have to do with Maddie?"


    "She had someone investigate our capital chain, so that the Sce family could find an excuse to


    terminate all cooperation with us."


    "It''s because of your incapabilities that there are traces left behind. It''s not her fault."


    Joseph had gradually calmed down.


    Fred hesitated for a long time and tried to persuade him, saying, "Sir, your father will soon know what


    happened tonight. I''m afraid you can''t cover the fact that you missed the chance to kill Noah due to


    Madeline."


    "Are you threatening me? Huh? Are you going to report to my father?" He tapped his slender fingers on


    the armrest of the sofa and stared at Fred murderously.


    Fred was down on his knees and swore, "Sir, I''m your follower, so naturally I will not betray you. I''m just


    worried for you."


    "The previous person that judged me had been thrown into the sea full of sharks."


    Fred shivered, and he was soaked in sweat upon hearing his words.


    He did not dare get up without Joseph''s permission.


    After twenty minutes, Joseph only talked again: "Since the Sce family is being dragged into this


    matter, we have to give orders for our pawn in their family."


    "Yes, Sir." Fred breathed a sigh of relief.


    "And about Lone Wolf, he''s out of our control. We don''t have to shower mercy on him and his brother


    since he''s not at our side anymore."


    "He has powerful people protecting him; I''m afraid it''s not so easy to deal with."


    "He has countless enemies worldwide; no one will know who does it." "If you can''t even do this well,


    you might as well get lost!"


    Joseph went upstairs in annoyance; he leaned against the bathroom''s door. He remembered the


    moment Madeline fell down the ss-nk road, his heart beating fast.


    She even asked Lone Wolf to rescue Noah in the time of danger. Was she certain that she could run


    away from me?


    If he had been more ruthless, he could have tampered with her parachute. Then she would be injured


    severely or end up dying.

    Maddie, is Noah so important to you?


    The next day, Madeline woke upte. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Noah''s erged,


    handsome face. She only realised that she was actually lying in his arms.


    "Are you awake? Sleep with me for a while more." Noah muttered with his eyes closed, took her into


    his arms, and hugged her tightly.


    "Where are the kids?" Madeline blushed a little, and her heart beat a little faster.


    "Thomas took them out to y."


    "When did youe back?" Madeline realised that his eyes were red when he opened them. She was


    tempted to touch and trace his eyebrows.


    "About an hour ago. Rowan injured his foot, so he asked me toe out to the hospital to make things


    clear. He said Annalise''s behaviour did not represent the Sce family.


    Noah had a headache, but he was not so sleepy after waking up.


    "Is he injured? Is it serious?" Madeline remembered that when she saw him get off the ne with


    Annalise in his arms, his legs were still fine.


    "You care about him a lot?" Noah''s face went gloomy. He did not even tell her that Rowan was injured


    because he went to look after the old couple. If I did, would she be more worried?


    Thinking about Rowan''s charismatic face, he was alerted.


    "He''s donating 5 million dors to our charity association; it''s normal for me to care about him."


    Madeline blinked slyly.


    Annalise offends me, so I take advantage of her brother. Well, it''s fair this way.


    "Hmph, it''s 10 million now. Are you going to meet him personally now?" Noah gave her a threatening


    stare.


    Madeline deliberately smiled and replied, "10 million dors? Of course, I have to pay him a visit! He''s


    such a good customer, I have to make sure he''s alright."


    "I''ve never seen you this happy when I gave you all of my money." Noah''s hand wandered around her


    waist as he spoke.


    Madeline tried to hide, but she realised that he was sexually aroused. So, she held her breath stiffly.


    "Hmm?" Noah lowered his head and kissed her reddened earlobe.


    Madeline''s mind went nk, and her face flushedpletely.


    "Who says I''m unhappy? Of course I''m happy when someone gives me money."


    "How are you going to return my favor?" Noah deliberately moved closer to her, with the tip of his nose


    against hers.


    "What do you want?" Madeline thought of giving him some advanced technological equipment. Don''t


    men love these things?


    "What do you think?" The corner of Noah''s mouth curled up into a wicked smile, and then he bit her


    earlobe.


    "Noah, don''t…" Madeline put her hand between their chests and pushed him hard.


    But Noah was jealous of Rowan, so he did not care about Madeline''s resistance. He wanted to prove


    that she belonged to him.


    He kissed her from her earlobe all the way down to her chest.


    Gradually, Madeline softened, and she held Noah''s waist without knowing.


    Her move was a signal for him to go on. He got excited, but he tried to keep his impulsion in check. He


    slowly aroused Madeline''s desire.


    "Maddie, be mine, okay?" Noah''s eyes were reflecting Madeline''s face.


    She could not make up her mind.


    Then there was an urgent knock on the door.


    "Maddie, are you in there?" Dn asked.


    Noah was irritated that Dn had interrupted them; he was fighting the urge to kill him.


    Noah got off the bed in displeasure, and Madeline wanted to follow him. But he pushed her into the


    bed.


    "Lie down."


    He would never let other men see her like this.


    "Dn Felch, this better be urgent." Noah opened the door sullenly.


    Dn was taken aback by Noah''s irritation; he nced at his pants and understood what happened.


    "Noah, s-sorry, it''s all my fault!"


    "Tell me what you want!" Noah red at him.


    "There was an ident in Elise''s store. She couldn''t reach Maddie; she was worried that Suzette


    would make a scene.


    "What happened to Elise?" Madeline went to the bathroom and sshed her face with cold water. So,


    her cheeks were not flustered now.


    Noah still hid her behind him defensively, and he gave Dn a warning look.
