Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Turn Me In

At the very moment that Madeline was busy on her laptop, Thomas Grant was in the lobby of the Imperia airport. He had on a baseball cap and was fully masked up. He was also furtively trying to hide, afraid that his mother’s employees would recognize him.

He really wished that they would stop pursuing him!

He had gotten rid of all the electronic devices he carried the moment he landed in Imperia, but there were still at least a dozen people on his tail. There was nowhere for him to hide!

This wouldn’t do at all. He had to find a way to shake off Madeline’s employees, or else he would have no energy left to look for his biological father, that scumbag who had turned his back on his wife and children.

All at once, an announcement coming from the video screens in the lobby caught Thomas’s attention, and his eyes lit up at once.

“Newsflash! The prominent Quincy family has just reported a missing person case. Young Colton Quincy was last seen at the North Hill Cemetery, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. As today is the 5th anniversary of Gordon Quincy’s death, the family was visiting the grave to pay their respects when Colton went missing. The family has offered a one million dollar reward for the boy’s safe return. The authorities urge anyone who has information about this matter to come forward.”

A picture of Colton flashed on the screen immediately after the announcement.

Thomas froze in his tracks and stared in disbelief. Why did the young Quincy boy look exactly like him?

Was it possible that they were actually related by blood and had the same father?!

Thomas immediately went to search for information about the Quincy family, but the only thing he could find out was that Colton’s father was a certain Noah Quincy. Unfortunately, there were no photographs of the man.

Could this Noah person be the scumbag he was looking for?

If that was the case, then he should get to work immediately. If he managed to sneak into the Quincy house somehow, he would be able to investigate further into his exact relationship to Noah. Not only that, but he would also be able to hide from his pursuers, killing two birds with one stone!

Thomas narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the face on the screen that was exactly the same as his own. Abruptly, he grinned.

I’m sorry, Colton, but I have to borrow your face and identity for a little while!

Without further hesitation, Thomas pulled down his mask and took off his baseball cap before trotting confidently toward the airport’s information desk. He flashed his cutest, biggest smile at the young lady on duty, batting big innocent eyes at her. “Miss, don’t you think I look like the little boy on the screen over there?”

Hahaha! I’m young Colton Quincy now! Hurry up and turn me in, then you can claim the reward!

…

Noah’s employees spent all day searching the entire cemetery, as well as the hill, but came up empty-handed. The only thing they found were faint traces of bloodstains near the parking lot by the cemetery.

Angie sat beside Noah on the couch, long legs curled up under her. The black dress hugged her exquisite figure, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her pale collarbones. Her eyes were swimming with tears as she murmured with worry and self-reproach, “I’m so sorry, Noah, this is all my fault for not looking after Colton properly! With his condition, if…” She was unable to hold back her tears, sobbing, “If anything happens to him, I…”

Noah radiated hostility as he sat there. Reaching up, he jerked his tie free and pulled it off. With unprecedented harshness, he snapped, “Stop bawling like an idiot!”

Angie was so shocked she stopped sniveling at once. She wanted to explain further, but Wayne burst excitedly through the door at that very moment.

“Sir, we finally have some news! The surveillance cameras at the cemetery were all damaged, but we did manage to find a clue. One of the drivers parked near the cemetery parking lot managed to catch something on video. It was the mysterious woman we saw on the hill! When she left the cemetery, she was carrying a child in her arms. She was also the one who visited Mr. Gordon’s grave and left the bouquet of lilies there!”
