Chapter 281
The few indecent guys would never expect Madeline to suddenly shoot up from the floor and kick two
of the guys without warning after doing a backflip. She was still in a dizzy state a moment ago.
“Damn you, you f*cking b*tch, you think you are hot stuff, huh? Go get her, boys!” A guy who looked
like the leader of the pack had his chin kicked hard by Madeline. It seemed that he had lost some teeth.
In a fit of rage, he bellowed and called for his men to go at Madeline all at once.
“Are these all your men? Annalise is really looking down on me.”
Madeline was able to fend off all the guys without any problem. She stood up and was about to leave.
“Stop right there! Or else I will slit her throat!” Suddenly, one of them pressed a knife against
Mackenzie’s neck. Mackenzie was unconscious right now.
“Whose neck do you think you are trying to slit?” Mackenzie suddenly opened her eyes and she even
made a face at the gangster too. That gangster almost stumbled to the floor because he was so
shocked.
Before he could react, Mackenzie pushed a button on her bracelet, which sprung open to produce a
make-believe blade. She got behind that person and was now the one who was holding him hostage.
However, she didn’t slit his throat. The edge of the blade was dipped in knockout narcotics. Only a very
tiny amount was required to render someone unconscious for a few hours.
“Miss Spiky Hair seems like she has her hands full to prepare all of this, but is this all she got?”
Mackenzie kicked at the gangster who was now sprawled on the floor with a disdainful expression.
Actually, when Annalise first appeared in this restaurant and tried to force her way to be around the
same dining table with them, Madeline sensed that something was off.
However, she didn’t want to take risks and find out what Annalise was planning because the children
were with her.
However, Mackenzie’s senses were sharp too. She had a feeling that Annalise was going to cause
some trouble by offering herself to join their meal gathering. This was a good opportunity for her to
catch Annalise red-handed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a good chance to show Noah, that scumbag, the true nature of Annalise who was pursuing him.
Therefore, the mother and daughter duo were simply watching everything unravel in front of their eyes
a while ago. When Noah was scalded by hot water because of crashing into that waiter, they were a
little caught off guard. Didn’t Annalise love Noah so much? How could she put him in harm’s way?
In fact, what had happened was a mistake. The waiter initially planned to pour some wine onto Noah so
that he had to go away to change his clothes.
He didn’t expect Noah to block the incoming hot water with his own body just to protect Mackenzie.
Nevertheless, he managed to achieve the goal of separating Madeline and Noah.
After that, the manager of the restaurant kicked the waiter out of the suite, which aroused some
suspicions on Thomas’ part. He secretly slipped out of the suite to follow the waiter, and Colton did the
same too because he was worried about Thomas.
Madeline was worried about her two sons, and she was about to leave with Mackenzie after settling the
score with these gangsters.
However, to her surprise, the door was tightly shut.
Madeline tried many different methods but the door was as sturdy as a rock. She examined the door
carefully and found that it had been special reinforced. This was a type of door that couldn’t be opened
no matter what after it was locked.
Madeline gasped in her heart. All of a sudden, she had a very bad feeling.
To make things worse, she felt that her eyes were closing. It was as if she was sick.
It was bad luck that her sickness was relapsing at this exact moment. How she wished that she was
sick at any other time!
As Madeline continued to curse Lone Wolf who was the one who had injected this drug into her, she
didn’t stop finding ways to get out of this place.
Mackenzie was trying to look for ways to get her phone connected, but to her anguish, she discovered
that her toy phone and Madeline’s phone both were in an area with no telecommunication signal.
“Mommy, what’s wrong with you?” Mackenzie noticed that Madeline could barely open her eyes, so she
stopped fidgeting with the phones and helped her to sit down on a sofa.
Before Madeline could say something, she smelled a strange scent in the air. She looked around and
saw that there were billowing smoke coming from the four corners of the suite.
“Zeke, take out your gas mask!”
Mackenzie always carried with her a backpack, and there should be all kinds of emergency tools or
equipment in there. She knew that there was a gas mask in it.
After wearing the gas mask, she dipped her handkerchief in some water that was already on the table,
and she quickly clasp the handkerchief onto Madeline’s nose and mouth.
Madeline felt like she was at her limit, but she couldn’t just fall unconscious just yet. What would
happen to Mackenzie if she really lose consciousness?
“Mommy, don’t worry, I will think of a way to get us out of here,” Mackenzie had saw Madeline fall
unconscious like this before, so she knew that her mommy was sick now. After making sure she was
positioned properly on the sofa, she darted off and started to look for ways to escape.
Madeline was struggling to stay awake. She slice her thigh slightly with the knife she had brought out of
that suite. The pain forced her to stay conscious.
The smoke was starting to get thicker, and there was barely any visibility at all. Even if the inferno didn’t
kill them, they would suffocate to their death soon.
She didn’t believe that such an ingenious method was something Annalise was capable of executing.
From the looks of things, there were multiple parties who were trying to get at them. She had to admit
that she was careless to allow things to worsen to such a situation.
She had to get out as soon as possible to check on Thomas and Colton. She had to make sure that
they were out of harm’s way.
Madeline scratched the door with her diamond ring, but her effort barely put a dent in the door.
Suddenly, the sound of a chainsaw came from the direction of the ceiling. She quickly grabbed
Mackenzie and ducked out of the way.
“Mommy, get up here, quick!” After a few minutes, Thomas’ face appeared above them.
Madeline’s heart jumped up in joy as she stepped onto the sofa and passed Mackenzie to them.
However, once Mackenzie was rescued, she couldn’t support her own weight anymore. She collapsed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto the sofa.
“Mommy!” Thomas shouted frantically and he was about to jump down to save her.
Madeline quickly stopped him, “Thomas, get out of here with Zeke! This is an order!”
“No, I am not going to abandon you, mommy! We will escape together!”
“I said, this is an order!” Madeline tried her very best to sound stern. Her strength had almost drained
completely out of her body.
She could feel how venomous these smoke were. She didn’t think it was wise for Thomas to come
down here.
“Pretty lady, why are you always in such a mess every time I see you?”
Suddenly, a golden thread was tied around Madeline’s waist. Just before she closed her eyes, she
vaguely saw a smug-looking face above her.
That man’s brows were shooting up as he continued, “Pretty lady, now it’s your turn to owe me a favor.”
Lone Wolf rescued Madeline, and at that exact moment Noah arrived at the scene too.
Noah was obviously misled by what he saw. He thought that Lone Wolf was the one who had held
Madeline and the children hostage.
Lone Wolf didn’t even try to explain himself as he darted off with Madeline on his back.
Before he ran away, he shoved all three children in Noah’s direction.
Noah was able to make sure the kids didn’t fall down in the nick of time, and he immediately heard
Lone Wolf’s voice from afar.
“Mr. Quincy, since you’re always a player, you have now hurt my pretty lady! If you don’t intend to treat
her like a princess, I will be the one to bring her away from you!”
“Lone Wolf, if you dare to even lift a finger at my wife, I will make sure to carve your body into a million
pieces.” Noah’s eyes were brimming with coldness and anger as he led his men toward Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf wasn’t running at his top speed. It was as if he was deliberately leading Noah and his men
around.
“Even if I didn’t do anything to her, you would still kill me, no? If the same fate would befall me anyway,
I would rather treat myself nicely before my death!”
After saying that, Lone Wolf completely disappeared.
Noah checked the surveillance videos that had footage of this area, yet he couldn’t see any sign of him.
It was as if he had disappeared into thin air together with Madeline.
