Wayne was kept up to date on Mackenzie and Thomas’ arrival at Phoenix International. So Wayne informed the lobby manager to prevent them from being stopped at the entrance.
Wayne was kept up to date on Mackenzie and Thomas’ arrival at Phoenix International. So Wayne informed the lobby manager to prevent them from being stopped at the entrance.
Phoenix International was a high-end club; people could not get in without memberships. The revolving restaurant on the top floor, in particular, was inaccessible to ordinary customers. The per capita consumption was about 100 thousand dollars.
The lobby manager led Mackenzie and Thomas up to the top floor.
“Are the two of you dining in the lobby or in the private room?” The lobby manager was extremely careful and respectful to them, knowing they were the princess and prince of the Quinton Corporation.
Thomas looked around the lobby, and he exchanged looks with Mackenzie. They did not see Noah and Madeline around.
“In the private room.”
The lobby manager nodded. Wow, the princess is way more mature than her age.
“Zeke, the vanilla ice cream here is very delicious; I’ll order one for you.” Thomas drooled looking at the menu.
“All you know is eating. Hurry and find out which is the scumbag’s private room.”
“Tomato sauce meatballs, beef tenderloin with wild mushroom risotto, spaghetti bolognese, grilled deep-sea cod…” Thomas was occupied ordering food.
Mackenzie furiously glared at him. The waiter served a few plates of appetizers, all of which looked scrumptious. Her stomach almost growled.
“Zeke, let’s eat. The food here is better than a five-star restaurant.” Thomas handed her a plate of dessert.
Mackenzie unwillingly took a small bite, and she was amazed by it. It’s delicious!
Noah had brought Thomas here several times before, so Wayne knew about Thomas’s preference. Hence, Wayne asked the chiefs to prepare Thomas’s favorite dishes.
In the blink of an eye, the table was piled high with delectable dishes. Mackenzie did not manage to sneak out before the dishes were served.
Thomas smiled smugly. He knew that this clubhouse was opened to members only. Daddy must have known that we were here. If not, the lobby manager would not greet us personally.
I’m sure Daddy will come to us soon; there’s no need for Zeke to sneak around.
After all, Mommy is still angry at Daddy. Zeke will complicate things if she sees them fighting.
Meanwhile, Madeline was looking at a man in the other private room.
She could not recall where she met him, but it did not matter to her.
She was more interested in Annalise, who sat beside the man. It seemed that Annalise was behaving herself, but she saw Annalise glaring murderously at her.
“Mr. Solace, nice to meet you.”
Madeline greeted them by nodding slightly, and then she calmly sat down opposite them.
“Ms. Madeline, you’re a skilled and smart woman. I admire you a lot.” Madeline was not sure if Rowan was being genuine or sarcastic. She was uncertain about Rowan’s motive.
“Mr. Solace, thank you for your compliment.” Madeline smiled gracefully and confidently.
The Taylor family had involved themselves in inspecting her charity association. It was officially announced that her association did not violate any rule or regulation.
Actually, with Annalise making a fuss, the Charity Association became famous. Part of Madeline wanted to thank Annalise for it.
Rowan’s business was not badly affected with the help of the Solace family. However, they would never want to be on bad terms with the Taylor family.
Rowan and Annalise would be reprimanded by their elders if it really did happen.
“Mr. Solace, you mentioned that you were bringing Annalise over to apologize to me.” Madeline shifted her gaze from Rowan to Annalise; she even checked her out.
She gave Annalise a provocative look, and Annalise was enraged.
“You don’t deserve my apologies! Bitch, I’m not afraid of you, even if Noah protects you! I’ll never stop until you’re hurt!” Annalise could not hold her anger; she showed her true colors.
It was Rowan’s first time seeing her like this, and he could not accept what he was seeing.
After reuniting with his sister, he realized she was arrogant and immature. He never expected her to swear at others like a shrew.
“Annalise…” Rowan wanted to stop her, but he was interrupted by Madeline.
“Well, it’s not like I forced Noah to protect me.” Madeline sighed. She knew how to get into Annalise’s mind; Noah was her weak point.
“You’re just a lowly woman from the countryside. Everyone knows you seduced Noah. Do you think Noah really likes you? Noah…” Annalise stood up with a glass of wine in her hand; she wanted to splash it on Madeline’s face.
Rowan glowered, and he held her wrist in displeasure.
He was brought up with good manners in a wealthy family. Even the servants in the Solace family were well-mannered. None of them would ever behave like Annalise.
“Ms. Solace, I heard that you’re having stomach aches. Is it affecting your mood? I guess you would be even more agitated when someone purposely taunted you. Please cool down; do not fight with an unnecessary person. You’re better than that.”
Liam was always Annalise’s partner in crime. He could see that Rowan was dissatisfied with her, so he tried to prevent things from getting out of hand.
The two of them had done a lot of acting in front of the Solace family.
Liam managed to put the blame on Madeline. It was as if Madeline were at fault.
Liam signaled to Madeline, and she suddenly remembered their plan. She quickly held her stomach and said, “Ro, I’m sorry. I’ve been feeling ill these few days, so I can’t control my temper.”
“I’m not the one you should apologize to.” Rowan stated firmly.
I’d rather be killed than apologize to her!
“Ms. Madeline, I know you hated me for having a marriage agreement with Noah. But you’ve scolded and beaten me. You even ruined my reputation and got me arrested. Aren’t all of these enough for you? Do you want to destroy the Solace family’s reputation completely before you stop?” Annalise covered her face and wept.
Even though Rowan knew about everything, what Madeline had done was spoiling the reputation of the Solace family. His grandpa wanted him to stand up against her for their reputation.
He had no other choice.
