Chapter 144
Bruno felt like the unluckiest man alive. Angie provoked Noah's ire and left him where he was now. To
think the murderer, Madeline, was still alive.
Her survival meant adding insult to injury!
He looked at Kingsley, wishing the butler would offer him a negative answer, but unfortunately, Kingsley
excitedly emphasized it to him again.
"You didn't hear me wrong, sir. Ms. Madeline is back. Mr. Quincy also made an announcement
declaring her his wife and the lady of the Quincy household!"
"What?!" Was Noah right in the head?
Noah hated Madeline but he was now acknowledging her as his wife?
Bruno was perplexed.
He nearly couldn't withstand the stimulation. He felt as if he was going to experience a stroke.
Kingsley's words, however, did pique his interest. He dragged the man inside to listen to what else he
had to say.
"Please calm down, Mr. Grant. This is the video that has been going viral. See for yourself!"
Kingsley didn't hesitate to show Bruno the clip.
He felt as if he had come back to life when he heard for himself how Noah declared Madeline to be his
wife.
Madeline is my daughter. If she's Mrs. Quincy, doesn't that make me the patriarch of the Quincy family?
Haha, I'm a father-in-law. I even have grandsons!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was in such overwhelming joy, he kept asking Kingsley if it was true.
"You're not lying to me, Kingsley?"
"Pack up, sir. The Grants are saved now!"
"That's right, the young madame of the Quincy family is my daughter. Everyone is going to want to
invest in us."
Bruno immediately groomed himself in anticipation of his meeting with Madeline where she would
convince Noah to bring the Grant family into the fold.
He could perhaps even snag himself a few big projects!
He was already calculating his next move as he washed up. Madeline had always been the softer of his
two daughters, making her more pliable and easy to control.
She had even given birth to Noah's son. It was only natural for half of the Quincy family assets to be
rightfully his.
He was confident that Madeline wouldn't say no as long as he asked.
Just thinking about it left him in high spirits!
……
Maple Forest Villa.
Madeline hadn't quite expected Noah to be quite so cooperative to allow her to take both children with
her.
The two kids had tired themselves out after their long frolic in the mountains. She tried to put them to
rest when they returned.
The children, however, seemed to have made up their minds to sleep with her.
She had no choice but to take them upstairs to sleep with either child snuggling up to her sides.
Noah had agreed to get along with her peacefully after the children's identities were revealed, so she
slept extraordinarily well.
It was a pity a loud noise jolted her awake from her pleasant dreams.
She dazedly sat up to find the children still asleep. After dressing herself, she went downstairs.
Bruno was standing in the lounge with his head held high, irritable because Albert stopped him in his
tracks.
"Who do you think you are? This is my daughter's home? Why wouldn't I be allowed here? I don't need
the permission of an outsider like you. What a joke."
He had a finger jabbed right into Albert's face as if he hadn't been an outsider in Madeline's life.
Albert remained humble and courteous but he didn't have the slightest intention of giving in.
He followed Madeline to Imperia and was more than aware of what kind of man Bruno was.
His rush here was fueled by nothing but his desire to wrangle his latest cash cow.
A man like him wasn't worthy of being her father.
It was only because of Madeline's care and dignity that he did not throw Bruno out.
"Mr. Grant, as I said, Ms. Grant is resting. Please come back another day, or wait in the foyer."
"I'm a father who wants to see his daughter and I have to sit here and wait? You're too much! Have
Madeline come see me now! She's alive but doesn't even care to come to see us? Where is her
conscience?!"
Bruno cursed as worry overcame him.
He was worried that Madeline had changed and was avoiding him on purpose.
"If you won't go, I will!" He decided to barge in himself when Albert refused to make way.
"Albert, what is all this racket? Don't you know the children are asleep?" Madeline dragged her feet
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdownstairs bundled up in a jacket. She had long heard Bruno's deliberate loud rebuke.
Albert caught on and took on the role of an incompetent and humble butler.
"My apologies, Ms. Madeline. Mr. Grant here insisted on barging in despite knowing you and the young
sirs are resting…" Albert seemed embarrassed as he pitifully explained himself.
Before he could finish, Bruno pushed him aside.
Albert wanted to step forward to stop him, but noticed Madeline's wink and backed away.
"Madeline. My darling Madeline. You really are alive. I missed you!" He rushed up to her to grab her
hand but she stepped back.
"Who are you?" She narrowed her eyes and asked doubtfully.
"Madeline. It's me, your Dad. Don't you remember me?"
"Dad? I had a Dad five years ago but he believed me to be a murderer. He was afraid I would drag him
down and openly declared that he disowned me. I reckon he's too embarrassed to even come to see
me. Sir, I advise you to stop barging into homes and trying to fool everyone!"
She declared with a placid expression before yawning and turning to leave.
Bruno wasn't going to give up his opportunity to affirm his identity and got in her way.
"Madeline, look at me. I am your father. I was wrong for not believing you back then. I'm here now.
Forgive your old man?"
He excitedly grabbed her by her arm, aggravating her injuries.
"Let go! You're hurting me!" The injury on her arm was almost healed, but the wound had come open
early that morning when she expended too much force to hold onto Noah.
She treated it when she got back and was being careful with it. Bruno haphazardly grabbing onto her
was unexpected.
Blood began to ooze. She started to sweat profusely.
