Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Madeline Grant was in a daze. Did her son really just gift her a helicopter? She had to admit it was a rather sweet gesture on his part, but she could not help but wonder where he got the money from.

She thanked the pilot before returning to her room and contacting her son.

“You little punk, where did you get the money to buy a helicopter?!” she scolded Thomas through the phone.

“I see you’ve received your present, Mommy. What do you think? Are you impressed with your son yet?” Thomas said cheekily on the other line.

“I’ll decide whether or not I’m impressed once you tell me where the money came from,” Madeline said sternly.

“Oh, it was a gift from my dear Auntie Angie,” Thomas chuckled.

“Well, your dear Auntie Angie is about to realize that she’s been fooled very soon. You’d better watch out,” she warned her son whilst rubbing her temple. How was her young son such a genius conman?

“Well, Mommy, are you impressed now?”

Thomas asked once again.

“Yes, yes. Very impressed…,” Madeline trailed off as her cellphone indicated an incoming phone call from Albert. She wished her son a quick goodbye before she picking up Albert’s call.

“Ms. Grant, it’s almost time to head to the charity dinner. Your gown is ready and placed just outside your room,” Albert notified her, ever so professionally.

“Alright,” Madeline said in response.

……

Angie Grant had arrived at the VIP lounge of the Imperial Hotel together with her mother, Suzanne. She was ahead of schedule, well excited for the charity dinner happening that night. After all, she was the philanthropic darling of Imperia. She would not let the citizens of Imperia down, knowing they were eagerly waiting for her appearance tonight.

After receiving the Global Ambassador of Philanthropy award tonight, she was also going to announce the news of her engagement to Noah Quincy. The mere thought of it made her giddy with excitement.

“Mother, what do you think of my dress? Is it a little too plain?” Angie was posing in front of Suzanne, doing a little twirl to show off her dress.

She chose a pearl white ball gown adorned with beautiful pink pearls. It was elegant yet sexy at the same time.

Suzanne was seated on the sofa, seemingly distracted as she sipped a cup of tea. She snapped back to reality as she saw her daughter approaching. “Darling, you’d look beautiful even if you were dressed in rags,” she assured her daughter.
