Chapter 77
"I… I don't know. It doesn't have anything to do with me…" Facing Madeline's cold, anger-
filled eyes, Angie was stunned.
She became more convinced this woman was her dead sister, who disappeared after
being framed by her. However, in this situation, she was no longer in the mood to find out
why Madeline, who should have been dead, was alive and well.
Angie only felt chills invading her body as she was in deep fear. She subconsciously shook
her head to deny it, unwilling to admit that she had harmed Gordon.
"Hah! Angie, do you think you can escape the punishment if you don't admit it? Just wait,
and you'll soon receive the retribution you deserve!" Madeline leaned closer to her "sister"
with a cold voice and indifferent eyes as if she were the Queen of Hell.
Facing such overwhelming fear, Angie's face turned as pale as paper, and she became
short of breath.
"You're… You're spouting nonsense! I'll tear your mouth out!" Angie glared at Madeline and
reached out, wanting to scratch her, but she could not even touch Madeline's hair at all.
Madeline enjoyed Angie's frightened and almost desperate expression. She only turned
away and left after she got tired of it.
At the Maple Forest Villa, Madeline leaned over to unlock the door. However, she frowned
the moment she stepped into the house.
Did someone break in?! Madeline immediately became alert and subconsciously lightened
her steps while reaching out to her back.
Suddenly, a black figure jumped out from the corner and kicked straight at her chest. His
movements were so quick that they almost created an afterimage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadeline did not have the time to make a move, so she only retreated while standing on
guard. However, this gave the assassin a chance.
Before she could take out her self-defense weapon, a bright blade was already in front of
her, shining with a cold light. Madeline tried to dodge, but the assassin had gained the
upper hand, so he naturally refused to let her go.
After fighting for a while, Madeline gradually became tired. Albert and Andy were not
there, so she did not have anyone to help her.
The masked man in black got closer and he could almost take Madeline's life. He did not
even bother to cover the symbol on his hand, letting it be exposed.
The dagger in his hand slashed upward and downwards time after time, and every move
was deadly.
Madeline had been forced to a corner. She was inevitably flustered, and sweat flowed
down her forehead.
At that critical moment, a familiar figure rushed in and blocked the attack for her.
Without waiting for her reaction, he attacked the assassin fiercely. After fighting for a
while, the assassin finally retreated and escaped from the window.
"Are you alright?" Noah looked at Madeline from head to toe. His eyes were filled with
anxiousness, afraid that she would be injured.
"I'm fine, but you don't seem fine, Mr. Quincy…" Madeline stared at the bloodstain on
Noah's white shirt, and her heart immediately tightened.
Noah was really weird. The injured one was him, but he still checked on her first.
"Hurry up and sit down! I'll help treat your injuries!" Worried that Noah would die of
excessive blood loss, Madeline did not dare to waste time and hurriedly made him sit
down. She then rushed to find the first-aid kit. Although her movements seemed steady,
she was a little more flustered compared to the past.
Noah used to be disgusted at the sight of Madeline, so why was he willing to take the
attack for her? However, she wondered what Noah would think if he discovered she was
the Madeline back then.
She carefully unbuttoned his bloodstained shirt, and a clear injury appeared before her
eyes. Madeline had mixed feelings about it.
"Noah, are you giving up your life?"
Madeline's fingers trembled as she took out the top-grade ointment that Andy obtained
from the headquarters. She carefully spread the ointment on Noah's injury, and could not
help but complain softly.
"I want my life, but even more, I want your heart…"
Noah's lips were pale, and he seemed weaker now, but that did not stop him from flirting
with her.
Madeline's expression darkened. "Your blood is almost drained, but you're still spouting
nonsense. It seems that your endurance is unmatched, Mr. Quincy."
Seeing that he was still teasing her even at the brink of death refreshed Madeline's
understanding of Noah. When did the honorable Mr. Quincy become so mischievous?
"I meant everything I said. Do you not believe it, Ms. Madeline?" Taking advantage of
Madeline's nervousness, Noah continued teasing her. His usually indifferent eyes were
filled with gentleness.
What he said was indeed the truth. All he wanted now was Madeline's sincerity. He used to
snort and trample on it, but it was now something he could not obtain.
"Alright, it's better for you to speak less and save more energy to heal your injuries, Mr.
Quincy." Madeline dodged Noah's sincere eyes and quickly bandaged his injury. She even
tied a dead knot as if she was taking revenge on him.
"Ouch…" Her additional strength made Noah cringe in pain, but not a single trace of anger
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould be seen in his eyes. This was nothing compared to what Madeline had to endure in
the past, so how could he complain?
Meanwhile, in the living room of the Lowe family's villa, Mrs. Lowe shut the laptop and
glared at her son angrily. "Jerry, are all the women in the world dead? Why do you have to
fall for that scumbag?!" Thinking that Angie was about to join their family, Mrs. Lowe was
so angry that she felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.
"Mom, everyone on the internet is nonsense. Angie loves me. Otherwise, she wouldn't try
to commit suicide because of me. Besides, I've already slept with her, so I have to take
responsibility for her." Jerry was obsessed with her beauty and kept defending Angie. He
did care that his mother was about to faint in anger.
"You bastard! You're being deceived! As long as I'm around, don't even think of letting
Angie in here! If you continue being obsessed with her, I'll ask someone to suspend your
card! You can suffer together with that bitch!" Mrs. Lowe shouted. She regretted not
properly educating her son when he was young. Otherwise, he would not be this stupid
now, willingly falling into a trap.
After that, she turned around and instructed the butler, who was at the side, "What are
you waiting for? Hurry up and lock this idiot away, just in case he continues to embarrass
the Lowe family!"
Once Mrs. Lowe gave the order, Jerry was soon carried upstairs by the bodyguards and
locked into his room. Even his phone had been confiscated.
Of course, he also lost the right to use the Lowe family's wealth as Mrs. Lowe had asked
the bank to suspend all of Jerry's cards…
Bruno, who was dreaming of making a comeback by relying on the Lowe family, did not
receive any money even after waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Lowe has agreed, so why isn't there any news from him? Could it be that something
has gone wrong again?" Bruno anxiously muttered as he was almost going crazy.
