Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Bruno almost vomited blood upon hearing what Albert had said.

Despite his fury, he had to admit that Albert was speaking the truth.

The Grant Corporation had only one of two options now: either they could file for bankruptcy, or they could abide by the law and clear their debt. They had no other way out of this.

At this juncture, if there was anyone who would buy the bulk of the stock that he was holding, it would feel like this was a gift from the Heavens.

However, the person who could do that was none other than Madeline!

A while ago, Noah’s company wanted to buy over the stocks of the Grant Corporation, but Bruno felt the same sentiment as he was feeling now. He felt that Noah was simply trying to profit from his misfortune.

Fast forward to today, after everything that transpired, the corporation’s value had exponentially reduced.

He wanted to curse out loudly into his phone, but he had to restrain himself and face reality.

He was contemplating something for a while. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, “Alright, I will agree to that deal. However, I need Madeline to sign the deal personally.”

“I will consult Ms. Madeline on this. If she agrees to your request, I will get in touch with you tonight.”

After hanging up, Bruno felt a depressing feeling weighing him down.

After selling off the last of the stocks, that would signal the end of the Grant Corporation under his management.

“Mr. Bruno, what happened?” Kingsley noticed that Bruno was in a bad mood, so he carefully ventured.

“Kingsley, let’s pack up. We won’t be selling this project anymore!” Bruno let out a huge sigh as he stood up.

“What? Then what is going to become of us?”

“We’re selling off the stocks. I am going to let go of the Grant Corporation!” It’s just an empty shell now, and it was riddled with debt. As long as he could hold some cash and that ungrateful girl was willing to absorb the company from him, he would let that be!

Bruno was able to convince himself that he would be better off this way. Together with Kingsley, they packed up the whole place and then he booked a restaurant to celebrate this good news.

…

After returning from the Charity Association, Madeline could not shake off her low mood. It even felt like she was getting crushed by her heavy emotions. She decided to ask Albert to send her to Elise’s place.

It was dinner time too. She could also have dinner with Elise.

After she unlocked the door with a password, she opened the door and saw that Elise was studying some food recipes while sitting on her sofa.

Thomas on the other hand was enjoying a glass of chocolate milk on a single-person sofa. He was busy fidgeting with his newest laptop.

When he saw Madeline appear, his eyes lit up.

He broke into a jog and rushed towards Madeline.

“Mommy!”

“Are you being a good boy in Auntie Elise’s house? Where’s Colt?” Madeline felt that all sorts of negative emotions had gone out of the window the moment she saw her precious son. She bent down to scoop him up.

As they exchanged some banter, she walked into the living room.

“Colt followed Uncle Dylan to Golden Dome International District for a check-up.”

“Maddie, come to me. Quick, tell me, did Mr. Quincy really cheat on you?”

Elise looked up from her recipes only to see Madeline’s unhappy face. She then tossed her recipes aside and ran towards her.

It was clear that she wanted to hear some juicy gossip.

Madeline hesitated when she saw Elise coming at her. She then lowered her son from his embrace.

“Thomas, you go upstairs and play by yourself first. I have to talk to Auntie Elise about something.”

Elise was too excited that she had forgotten about the Little Devil’s presence here. Elise covered her mouth hastily. She had a guilty look on her face.

Thomas turned his gaze from Madeline to Elise and nodded obediently. He then ran upstairs with his toy laptop in his arms.
