Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 378

While Madeline was carrying Xander out from the research site, they were welcomed by Trenton’s reinforcement, causing another fight to break out. As Madeline was getting exhausted by the fights and worried about Xander’s grave condition, she called out to Lone Wolf, “Lone Wolf, distract the men outside for me.”

She knew that it was a great opportunity to catch Trenton, but she dared not risk Xander’s life for it.

“No way, woman! I managed to corner Tristan though! I must get my revenge on him!” Lone Wolf had decided to put an end to Trenton’s life, but Madeline's resolute and worried stance prevented him from doing so.

“I’ll have Noah free your brother and share with you half of the research findings! Distract those men for me now!”

“Mommy, daddy’s having a fever,” Mackenzie whispered after touching Xander’s forehead. Madeline had just assisted Xander by applying a makeshift bandage to his wound, but with the constant ducking of gunshots, Xander's wound was bound to reopen. Soon, Xander’s blood had already seeped through the bandage.

“Fine, I’ll let him go for your sake.” Although unwilling to do so, Lone Wolf eventually retrieved his Golden Threads and left the passageway with the others, not forgetting to lock the door.

Trenton, on the other hand, was hiding behind a boulder. He had become physically frail due to the infection and his many injuries. If Lone Wolf had persisted to fight him, Trenton would have died.

“Trenton, here.” Cameron crawled out from the pile of dead bodies and extended a hand to Trenton, helping him to his feet. As he did so, he caught sight of Trenton's menacing glare directed toward the site exit. “Tell the others to not let a single one of them get out of here alive,” he ordered.

Cameron, who had previously been defeated by Madeline, naturally agreed with Trenton’s command. “Roger,” he replied. “Our men had received a blueprint for this mansion’s layout. There should be another exit in here.”

Cameron led Trenton to the door he had blown open earlier with explosives. Trenton stood at the door and looked up as he smirked. “It's just getting more exciting from here on out.”

By the time Noah brought reinforcements back to the mansion, he saw that the fighting was far from over. Everyone was eager to kill each other. Noah’s heart sank as he saw the ruined entrance and the scattered furnishings. How did things turn out this way? It was impossible! He had deployed an excellent team of veterans, whom he had spent more than a decade training them in Uranica. It would take a miracle for Trenton’s men to break into the mansion, but the chaos in front of him proved otherwise and broke his heart all the same.

In a panic, Noah sprinted into the site, where he saw the blown-up entryway and immediately feared for the worst. Neither Madeline nor the children were here. Noah swiftly seized onto one of the men fighting and pressed a gun onto the man’s forehead as he questioned, “Where are the children?”

Evidently siding with Trenton, the man scowled back at Noah without responding. A stray bullet soon ended his short life. Once the fighting died down, Noah’s men surveyed the area and reported that Madeline’s army was wiped out, leaving only Trenton’s forces.

“Mr. Quinton, we’ve searched through every inch of the mansion but we’ve yet to find Madeline and the children,” the bodyguard reported while wanting to lend a hand when seeing Noah staggered into the research site.
