Chapter 210
With the turning of the door handle, the door in front was opened from the outside.
Madeline stepped back with a deep breath.
How could Joseph be so fast? Wasn’t he just returned?
"Maddie!"
"Noah, why are you here?"
"Let’s get out of here first." Noah did not answer her question, but directly took her hand and ran
towards the north side of the ancient castle all the way.
Madeline was puzzled without a word and used all her strength to follow Noah.
Noah led her to the door of a room on the north side of the first floor, came to open the door, and
walked straight in.
Madeline was just about to ask questions, until she saw him directly press the switch on the ancient
painting, and at the same time, the wall with the ancient painting suddenly moved, showing an
entrance.
"There's actually a secret tunnel here?"
"Well, I designed it."
"Huh?" That’s amazing.
She had never heard Grandpa say that before.
Madeline followed Noah along the secret tunnel all the way out of the castle.
Wayne was waiting at the exit and immediately led them to the car as soon as he saw them.
Just as they left, Joseph had already arrived at the basement.
He came back after receiving Fred’s distress signal.
Knowing that Fred had acted hastily, he was holding back his anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he saw Fred covered in blood, lying on the ground, Joseph’s expression turned ghastly.
His eyes were flaming with rage.
"Fred, I have said that leave here to Ms. Madeline tonight, what are you trying to do behind me?" Step
by step, Joseph walked down the stairs.
Soon, he was in front of Fred.
"Are you trying to kill her?"
He was very irritable, that the cane in his hand was already showing his violence.
Fred was trembling.
"No, Sir. I came here, just to help you to let Ms. Madeline that you really like her."
With all strength, Fred grabbed Joseph’s trousers and pleaded sincerely.
When he was lying here alone waiting to die, he had the will to stay alive, hence he had already
thought of countermeasures.
He had guessed Joseph’s reaction after finding out that he disobeyed the instructions.
"Oh?" Joseph was clearly not believing his story.
"I told Miss Gu that I want to kill her because the Young Master was really in love with her, so I had to
get rid of her so that the Young Master would have no stumbling blocks."
"Did she believe it?" Joseph was suddenly intrigued.
"I don't know if she believes it or not, but I did all this for you, sir. Moreover, the injuries on my body are
all thanks to Ms. Madeline, I know that Mr. Joseph cares about Ms. Madeline, so I did not fight back till
the end, otherwise, I would not have been injured like this ..."
Fred's words are all to Joseph’s concern.
Also, to prove his loyalty.
Joseph put away his cane and examined his injury. Finally, he showed a wilful smile.
"You are right. Your injury looks like done by Ms. Madeline. I had warned you that Ms. Madeline is a
very powerful woman, but you did not believe me. Goof for you to suffer this time, you deserve it."
When Joseph spoke of Madeline, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"Forget about it, let's just believe you for once, let the doctor to give you a look."
"Thank you, sir!" Fred was grateful, also secretly relieved.
Joseph turned around and went upstairs, while the bodyguards behind him helped Fred up.
“By the way, send me the surveillance video proof, I want to see what Ms. Madeline did in here just
now.” Suddenly, Joseph turned back and assigned the task to Fred.
Just now when he received Fred’s signal to rush back, Joseph thought that if Madeline hadn't left yet
and was caught by him, things would be more interesting.
But when he came back, Madeline had already disappeared.
What a waste! he clearly knew that when he entered the courtyard, Ms. Madeline was still there.
Her movement was too fast.
"Yes, sir!"
......
Madeline followed Noah’s car back to the city.
She managed to order Albert to retreat, and was trapped in the cold atmosphere in the car.
Since Noah brought her out from the secret passage of the castle, he had not spoken again. Although
he had been holding her hand tightly, Madeline could feel that Noah was unhappy.
This awkward atmosphere made her uncomfortable.
"Noah, why are you in the castle?" After thinking about it, Madeline decided to break the silence.
"To find you."
"Erm ... I just found that castle was quite nice, so I went in to have a look out of curiosity."
"You think I will believe what you just said?"
"..."

"Well, actually I suspected that Joseph had something to do with grandfather's death, so I went to
investigate, only it seems my intention was discovered by Joseph beforehand, my effort is wasted."
The empty castle with no one, and Angie was also full of lies to defend Joseph.
Obviously, this was set up in advance, just to let her fall into the trap.
“Maddie, I know you're thinking about investigating your grandfather’s death, but Joseph is an
extremely dangerous man, can you please stay away from him in the future?”
Noah was somehow mad, but he still sounded gentle to her.
"Noah, why aren’t you surprised?"
"Hmm?"
"I said, I suspected Joseph was related to Grandpa’s death, why are you not surprised at all, as if ..."
"You already knew that right?" Madeline immediately came to this conclusion.
It’s true, with Noah’s ability, Joseph would be investigated as long as he landed on Imperia.
Noah’s expression was unclear. It was only after a long time that he spoke.
"I also have my suspicions, but have not yet found any strong evidence, I will continue to investigate
this."
"Then I'm going with you!" Madeline decided right away.
"No, as I said, this man is too dangerous, I don't want you to be in danger."
"Then I don't want you to be in danger either, two is better than one!"
Madeline vowed to show her firm attitude, she was worried that his investigation of her grandfather's
death was kept away from her, just to protect her.
Her small face went red due to anxiety.
Noah could not help but freeze when he heard her say so. He gazed at her and suddenly laughed,
His eyes shined like sprinkling stars, even though they looked gloomy just now.
His slender fingers gently pinched her reddened cheeks.
"So, you actually cared about me huh?"
