Chapter 279


    God damn it, does she think that I’m a pushover? Madeline who was watching from the sidelines was


    suddenly attacked out of the blue. She snickered coldly while pping Annalise’s hand away, “Too bad,


    I am indeed a wayward person.”


    After leaving such a remark, she was about to enter the suite with her children.


    “I don’t see any discerning qualities in her that Mr. Quincy would fall for. Not only she is a ygirl, but


    she is also immature.”


    “Why Mr. Quincy has his eyes on her, you ask? She must be so good in bed.”


    When two women who stood not too far from them heard what Annalise had said, they began to


    whisper amongst themselves.


    “Miss Spiky Hair, my daddy doesn’t want to have a meal with you, yet you won’t stop pestering him. My


    daddy is the one who doesn’t want you toe, so maybe you should criticize him. Why did you


    criticize mommy instead?”


    Thomas stared at Annalise with an innocent expression on his face.


    When he referred to Annalise as Miss Spiky Hair, those two women failed to muffle theirughter.


    “Are you here to perform the arts of face-changing, like those people with masks on? You are really a


    forgiving person. After getting turned down by my dad so many times, not only you are not angry, you


    even put on such incredulous makeup just to make my daddy happy.”


    Colton chipped in too to add some ir to their acting.


    When Annalise was talking to Madeline a while ago, she managed to maintain her gentleposure


    throughout their conversation, but the moment she heard Thomas’ment, her face immediately


    turned hideous. Wasn’t this what an aforementioned mask performance would look like?


    What’s more, her makeup was really colorful, which only served to add more truth to Thomas’


    argument.


    Some people evenughed out loud.


    “Who’s thisdy here? She is shameless enough to pester Mr. Quincy while she is looking like that. I


    almost wanted to gouge my eyes out at such a sight.”


    “You’re right, she looks like a clown while standing beside Mrs. Quincy.”


    “Now that I think of what she said, she sounded like b*tch.”


    When Annalise heard those people discussing her, her anger almost reached its limit.


    “Ms. Madeline, do you even know how to educate your children? I should teach them a lesson instead!”


    As Annalise bellowed, sheshed out at Thomas and Colton.


    Madeline grabbed her wrist and warned her with a frosty look on her face, “Annalise, if you dare to


    even touch my children, be prepared to face the consequences.”


    “They are the ones who arecking in manners! Look at them, they don’t behave like how Noah’s child


    should behave. They don’t even…” Annalise stopped herself from spewing even more vilements


    because of Noah’s presence there.


    However, she couldn''t just let this slide when she was angered so much. She lifted her leg and was


    about tond a kick on Thomas.


    Just as she lifted her right leg, she suddenly lost her bnce because she couldn’t feel her left leg. She


    fell onto the ground.


    It just so happened that a waiter was passing by them with a tray of mushroom soup. When Annalise


    fell, she crashed into that waiter which resulted in the mushroom soup getting poured all over her.


    “Oh, my God! I will kill you!” Annalise immediately lost her mind. Ever since she bumped into Madeline


    and her three children, her life had been hellish.


    Noah was discussing business matters with Rowan, and he only saw that Madeline was in a


    conversation with Annalise. However, he didn’t pay attention to what they were actually talking about.


    Now that he saw Annalise falling down, he swooped in and took Madeline into his embrace so that the


    soup wouldn’t stain her.


    When Rowan saw what had happened, he froze.


    Annalise was really doing extraordinarily embarrassing things every single day.


    “Noah, Madeline pushed me purposely,” Annalise spoke up first and pretended that she was the victim.


    However, Noah didn’t even look at her as he examined Madeline. He asked, “Are you alright?”


    Madeline shook her head. If it was not for Rowan’s sake, she really wanted to make Annalise


    disappear forever from Imperia.


    She wished for that to happen not because she actually hated Annalise. It was just that Annalise was


    too big of an annoyance. She was like an incessant fly that pestered and bothered her.


    “Annalise, don’t talk nonsense.” Rowan helped Annalise to her feet.


    Annalise felt that she was wronged, seeing that her own brother didn’t believe her, “Ro, how can you


    side with her too? What kind of drug has she given to you guys? Why are you guys only listening to


    her?”


    “Mr. Quincy, I am sorry for this fiasco and the trouble that we have caused you. I’ll go home with


    Annalise first.” No matter how thick-skinned Rowan was, she was not shameless enough to stay here


    anymore even though he still wanted to find out Madeline and her daughter’s origin.


    Back when he was still in Uranica, people would flock to him to ask for a favor or to treat him to a meal.


    This was the first time he was the one asking a favor from somebody else, and it was already


    extremely unbing of him to do this. To make things worse, Annalise had been a nuisance, which


    made him lose face.

    “I am not leaving! Ro, I barely have any chance to see Noah, I need to tell him about Madeline’s true


    colors!” Annalise was struggling to get onto her feet, but no matter how Rowan tried to drag her away,


    she wouldn’t budge an inch.


    As they continued to grapple with each other, a small crowd slowly formed around them.


    The manager of the restaurant showed himself too and politely implore the sibling to leave so that they


    wouldn’t disturb the other diners there.


    Rowan had never been so humiliated in his whole life, but no matter what, Annalise was his sister who


    he had grown up with. He wouldn’t lose his temper because of her, so his only choice was to leave with


    her as quickly as he could.


    However, Annalise was determined not to leave. This was because she had a hidden agenda.


    She only lost her temper because she was enraged by Madeline’s children.


    “Noah, I feel so sticky and ufortable now. Can you get me a change of clothes, please?” Annalise


    began her acting. she pretended to look pitiful.


    Rowan didn’t bring any bodyguards with him today, so he had to go buy some new clothes for Annalsie


    by himself.


    However, that meant he would have to leave Annalise alone here. He couldn’t feel at ease.


    “Mr. Quincy, can you…”


    “No can do.” Noah cut him off and walked into the suite with Madeline in his arms.


    Rowan felt so awkward upon hearing that.


    The three little ones followed after Noah and Madeline.


    Mackenzie turned around and saw Rowan’s disappointed expression. She tugged at Madeline’s shirt


    and said, “Mommy, I pity Uncle Rowan so much.”


    “What do you think you can do about this?” Madeline feltfortable being around Rowan for some


    reason. She wouldn’t change her perspective toward Rowan just because of Annalise.


    “Maybe we can invite him to eat with us.”


    Madeline saw that Mackenzie’s eyes were sparkling and full of life, which was a sign of her brewing


    some scheme in her mind. However, she didn’t expose Mackenzie. She simply jerked her chin in


    Noah’s direction.


    “Hey, I want to invite Uncle Rowan to have a meal with us. He used to help me before this.” Mackenzie


    shouted at Noah loudly.


    When Noah heard that Mackenzie was showing some sympathy toward Rowan, he couldn’t help but


    feel jealous. Now that she was staring at him directly to ask for his permission. However, she was still


    maintaining her strong stance, to which Noah felt amused.


    “Who are you calling now?”


    He asked purposely.


    “Of course, I am calling out to you.” Mackenzie’s face was all puffed up, and from the look on her face,


    it was as if she was thinking, Are you stupid? Why ask something so obvious?


    “I have a proper name, you know. What about this? Call me daddy, then I will consider letting them eat


    with us.”


    Mackenzie shot a look at Madeline to ask her for help, but Madeline shrugged and spread her hands.


    She was signaling for Mackenzie to make her own decision about this.


    “Zeke, daddy is someone who is soft. As long as you call him daddy, he will agree to anything. You like


    him too, right? As long as you call him daddy, he will be at your service from now on.” Thomas saw


    Noah giving him some hidden signals, but he was smart enough to know that he had to persuade


    Mackenzie.


    “Daddy loves you a lot, I am sure he will promise to do anything that you wish for,” Colton added in


    some words after receiving Noah’s hint.


    Mackenzie was fidgeting with her fingers while in a dilemma. Then, she whispered “daddy”, her voice


    so tiny that it was almost inaudible.


    “Hey! My precious darling!” Noah finally heard Mackenzie acknowledging him as her daddy. He held


    her up excitedly to celebrate.


    Mackenzie pointed at Annalise who was still screaming and crying her heart out.


    At this moment, Noah said slyly, “I said, I will consider. However, if you nt a kiss on my cheeks, I will


    for sure invite them into the suite.”


    “You liar!” Mackenzie’s cheeks were bloated as she was fuming now.


    Madeline turned her gaze from the father and daughter tandem toward Annalise and thought about


    how Annalise had no qualms disying her barbaric nature in front of Rowan just so that she was able


    to get into the suite and eat on the same table as them. Her eyes darkened as such thoughts filled her


    head.
