Chapter 242
"Show us your bargaining chip, then I'll know how much the Grant Corporation is worth." Wayne carried
a stool out from the Maybach and placed it beside Madeline's feet. She was tired from wearing high
heels, so she sat down happily when she saw the stool.
She glanced at the Maybach and then at Wayne.
Wayne deliberately raised his head and pretended not to see it. He just won't tell me if Noah is inside
the car or not.
What is this douchebag up to?
"I don't have anything up my sleeve. Your mother died as a result of illness. I said that just to trick you
out. Don't worry; I did not wrong your mother. Back then, when she fainted in front of me, she did not
even have her identification card on her. If it wasn't for me, she could be long gone."
"Since you have nothing in return, there is no need to sign this agreement." Madeline stood up to leave.
"You! Don't you feel sorry and want to help me out when you see me in this poor state?" Bruno pushed
himself up, his gaze fixed on her. He looked a little bit scary that way.
"Didn't you completely cut off the tie between us five years ago when I was at my worst?" She used to
doubt if Bruno was her biological father, but seeing how he treated Angie, she had come to a
realization.
He was selfish and full of himself. It did not matter to him if they were his biological daughters or not.
"You're a bitch! I'll kill you!" Bruno finally revealed his true colors. He suddenly rushed toward her, and
he was raising his hand to slap her.
Wayne stood the closest to Bruno, and without hesitating, he blocked Bruno by standing in front of
Madeline.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Get out of the way!" Madeline pushed Wayne away, and Bruno almost slapped him in the face.
Bruno did not manage to slap anyone, so he was not satisfied. He dashed toward Madeline again.
Madeline locked her gaze on him, but before she could react, a figure appeared in front of her. Bruno
was flung away by his kick.
All of a sudden, a familiar hand rested on Madeline's waist.
She turned her head and looked at Noah's jawline, and she pinched his arm. "Mr. Quincy, aren't you
extremely busy? Why are you here?"
His admirer made her faint. So he had been avoiding her out of guilt. The thought of it enraged her.
Noah froze upon hearing her words. He let go of his hand, turned around, and walked away.
Madeline was dazed by his ridiculous behavior.
Sir, stop walking away! Wayne was nervous for him; he kept on hinting at Noah with meaningful looks.
But Noah was determined to follow the doctor's order, so he did not look at Wayne at all.
He walked at a very fast pace.
Those who didn't know might think that Madeline was some sort of beast that scared him away.
"Noah Quincy, you bastard!" Madeline shouted with uncontrollable anger.
Noah turned to look at her worriedly. After making sure that she was not relapsing, he resolutely
entered the car.
Luckily, I ran away quick enough; if not, I might trigger Madeline's condition again.
"Mrs. Quincy, that wasn't Sir's intention; he's just..." Wayne saw that Madeline was upset, so he quickly
explained for Noah.
Madeline waved her hand and said, "Let him be! Who spoiled him until he's like this?"
"Ms. Madeline, Bruno was holding a poisoned blade in his hand." Albert realized that something was off
the moment Madeline pushed Wayne away. He quickly ordered the bodyguards to restrain Bruno after
Noah kicked him.
Madeline was disappointed and outraged to see the blade covered in green liquid.
So this is his true intention? He tricked me into coming here to kill me? Or poisoned me to torture me?
"Take it for testing."
Madeline handed the blade to Albert, but Wayne snatched it away. He said with a playful smile, "I'll go;
I'll run fast."
She did not care much. She turned her gaze to Bruno, who was miserable and hopeless.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do so?"
"You bitch! I should have drowned you the moment you were born! You are all ungrateful! Even though
I raised you all, you all betrayed me!" Bruno was getting insane; he yelled at Madeline.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I can only force it out of you." Madeline stepped back, and Albert
stepped forward to break Bruno's prosthetic leg.
"A-Ah! Madeline, you should rot in hell!" Bruno was trembling with pain, but he refused to tell the truth.
Albert was an expert at making people confess, and he was about to increase the intensity. Suddenly,
Madeline threatened, "Uncle Kingsley has been serving you for so long, I'm sure he's willing to be
tortured in your place."
Madeline gave Albert signals, and he stepped hard on Kingsley's chest. Kingsley spit out a mouthful of
blood on the spot.
Madeline was dazed by his ridiculous behavior.
Sir, stop walking away! Wayne was nervous for him; he kept on hinting at Noah with meaningful looks.
But Noah was determined to follow the doctor's order, so he did not look at Wayne at all.
However, because the blood was dark in color, it could be seen that he was being poisoned.
"Madeline, stop! Kingsley has no grievances with you; don't you touch him!" Bruno finally panicked. He
had done all of these things to save Kingsley's life, so he would not let Madeline kill him.
"Now, are you willing to talk properly?" At the same time, Madeline signaled Andy to check up on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKingsley.
Andy diagnosed him and said, "He's been poisoned for days. It's too late if he's not treated before
today."
"I'll tell you everything! The culprit is Suzette! She came to me a while ago, cheated me out of all my
money, and even got someone to beat me up. If it wasn't for Kingsley, I would have died back then."
Bruno continued to say, "She hates you for being with Noah, and she blames you for Angie's
disappearance. So she poisoned Kingsley in order to force me to use the blade on your face."
Suzette and her daughter never learned from their lessons. They're so disgusting.
"Ask Suzette out; tell her that you've accomplished the mission." Madeline threw him a phone.
Bruno shook his head and said, "I do not have her number; she won't let me contact her. She will
contact me when she thinks it's time."
"Mrs. Quincy, the poison on the blade has been tested. It is a very corrosive poison that will slowly
corrode human skin and flesh."
"People who were poisoned could not feel anything at first, but after a day or two, they will feel pain
near the wound," Wayne continued, "They would not be able to detect anything since they did not know
they were poisoned."
"Then, the poison would slowly torture them, and it would corrode and spread throughout their bodies.
Some of them may be rotten with unpleasant smalls, and pus may flow from their wounds."
Suzette has such a vicious mind!
"This is an uncommon poison, isn't it?" Madeline was frightened upon hearing the description, but she
managed to keep her cool.
"It's a banned drug from Tanaxes; it was barely seen in our country. Sir already ordered people to look
into this matter." Wayne did not forget to take credit for Noah.
"Bring Kingsley back and treat him." Madeline frowned and walked toward the Maybach aggressively.
