Chapter 199
Joseph stared at the message on the phone. Soon, he showed a wanton and arrogant smile on his gloomy face.
“Hahaha, what an amazing woman! She’s interesting!” Joseph laughed as if he was in a good mood for an instant.
Fred watched Joseph from the side and felt nervous in his heart.
“Sir, it was my negligence. I didn’t realize someone had planted a bomb in the car,” said Fred while trembling in fear.
“Forget it. Maddie’s means are superb. You could hardly notice what she did. You’re injured. Go to a nearby hospital for treatment first.” Joseph glanced at Fred, who lowered his head and admitted his mistake. But Joseph did not scold Fred as he was in a good mood. Joseph only cared about Fred’s injuries.
“No need, Sir. It’s just a little injury. It doesn’t matter.” Fred refused.
“Just do what I said!” Joseph’s face suddenly darkened.
“Yes, Sir.”

After dinner, Madeline took a bubble bath in the bathtub. As Lone Wolf entered her bathroom once, she asked Andy to bring a team of people to disinfect and check the bathroom before she returned to Maple Forest Villa. There was nothing wrong, but the smell of the disinfectant was too strong. Madeline needed to put a lot of essences to cover the smell.
At this moment, Madeline was lying in the bathtub and looking at her phone. Albert had sent her the photo of the scene outside the Enchanteur Bar. Looking at Joseph’s crazy look, Madeline gave Albert a thumbs up. “Well done!”
Albert found a secluded place and called Madeline. He said, “Ms. Madeline, Joseph was so angry that he would not let us go. I’ve already increased the security measures around the villa. But when I sent people, I found Mr. Quincy’s people were nearby. The number of their people is more than ours…”
“Since the Quincy family’s bodyguards are here, let’s remove some of our people. So we’ll not be exposed.” After thinking about it, Madeline felt it was better to keep a low profile now.
“Okay, Ms. Madeline.”
“And also, Joseph and Angie seem to be related. Investigate carefully to see if you can find any clues.”
If Joseph and Angie were related, then it was likely that Joseph was also inseparable from the murder of Old Mr. Quincy. As for Joseph’s background, Madeline would also investigate it, but no one knew this matter better than Noah. She wondered what Noah meant when he said it was not the time yet on the way back.
Madeline thought wildly and reminded Albert of some small matters. Then, she hung up the phone and enjoyed her bath time comfortably. It was just that Madeline lay down in the bathtub and was about to watch a drama. Suddenly, she heard movement in the room. There was someone who had broken in.
Madeline instantly became alert. She quickly picked up the bathrobe on the side and put it on. After that, Madeline walked carefully toward the bathroom door. She put her ear on the door to listen to the movement outside. However, after she waited for a while, she heard nothing outside.
Did I hear wrong just now? Madeline was puzzled. She carefully turned the door handle.
Phew, there is indeed no one. I might have hallucinated just now. Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and went to the cloakroom. After putting on pajamas, she turned off the light and lay on the bed.
As soon as Madeline lay down, she felt someone turn over and hug her. Feeling a warm breath, she subconsciously exclaimed.
“Ah!”
“Hey, don’t make noise. I just want to hug you…”
“Noah?”
