CHAPTER 410 FRED
Noah was so enraged after interrogating the group of foreigners that he immediately ordered his men to toss these people back to their boat, make an even bigger hole in the bottom of their boat, and have them fend for themselves in the sea.
Madeline asked the Demacian woman for her name while she was changing her clothes.
She introduced herself as Linda and stated that she was from Imperia. She also claimed that her family preferred boys over girls and that her younger brother was involved in various vices. Her parents and younger brother had banded together to marry her off to an elderly man who could provide a dowry of two million dollars.
Linda was determined not to be ruined for the rest of her life, so she secretly took the money she had saved from working all these years and went to the Uranica to join her older sister, Quinn.
However, she had no idea that her sister would be exactly like her parents. They had only wanted to suck her dry. Her sister had cheated her out of all her money and nearly pimped her out less than a week after she arrived at the Uranica.
Last night, her sister felt repentant and apologized to her, saying she shouldn't have treated her that way. She even promised to take her to work with her the next day so they could make enough money to live comfortably in Uranica.
Linda had no relatives or friends here, so she could only rely on her. She purposefully made her face as hideous as possible in case her sister took her to the old man under the guise of taking her to work.
As soon as the two sisters arrived at the pier, they were spotted by a few Uranican hooligans. When they saw her, they were drawn to the well-dressed Quinn, but Quinn had other plans. Quinn's mission for the day was to kidnap Thomas and Mackenzie. She wouldn't want anything to get in the way of her plan.
She dragged Linda to the water's edge, washed her face, told the Uranican men she was still a virgin, and requested that they take her away. At the same time, she informed them that there was a yacht on the sea with a lot of gold on it.
Those Uranicans were initially reluctant to let Quinn leave, but that changed after Quinn spoke to them. They had terrified looks on their faces and only took Linda.
The first thing Madeline thought of when she heard that was Trenton. However, given Trenton's current situation, could he still send someone out to cause such havoc?
Noah appeared just as Madeline was beginning to wonder. He took her aside and explained the situation with the interrogation. Madeline also told him everything Linda had told her.
Neither of them was sure who was the true mastermind.
"It's fine. We'll be able to pry Quinn's mouth open sooner or later," Noah reassured Madeline as he noticed her brows were tightly knit.
Madeline was indeed feeling down. She would feel uneasy so long as the mastermind was still out there.
That was because she had no idea when this person would do something to cause Thomas and the others harm.
"Has your sister recently contacted anyone?" Madeline was determined to find out, so she continued to question Linda.
Linda thought about it. She responded with a contrite expression, "She is extremely wary of me. She typically won't let me go anywhere or even meet with anyone."
"What are your current plans?" Madeline let out a sigh. She figured she would just help her until the end since she had run into her.
Linda immediately choked up when she heard the words. She was about to fall to her knees in front of Madeline when Madeline stopped her.
"Mrs. Quincy, please take me in. If I return now, my parents will sell me for money."
Linda was actually quite intelligent. She was a keen observer. When she heard the bodyguard address Madeline as "Mrs. Quincy," she did the same.
Madeline couldn't believe that girls were still being sold by their parents in the twenty-first century.
She couldn't decide on her own about taking her in, so she turned to look at Noah for an answer.
"It's entirely up to you." Noah didn't care about Linda.
She was just a weak woman. Even if she did have ulterior motives, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in his presence.
"Then you'll stay here for now. You'll follow us back to Tiberos, but I won't be able to keep you once there. You'll have to rely on yourself to make a living."
"I know. Mrs. Quincy, I won't be a freeloader! Mrs. Quincy, thank you for saving my life!" Despite being stopped by Madeline, Linda still kneeled and kowtowed to her.
Madeline shifted slightly to the side to avoid it.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back." Noah stepped forward to take Madeline's hand in his.
Just as Noah gave the orders to get the yacht ready to return, Linda said, "I remembered now. The night before yesterday, I heard my sister answer a phone call. She addressed the person on the other end of the line as Fred. They are likely a couple based on the way she spoke."
"Have you been able to hear what they said?" Noah inquired, his brow furrowed.
Madeline softly reassured Linda, who was a little anxious, "Think things over slowly. There is no hurry."
"I didn't dare to get too close, so I couldn't hear it very clearly, but I recall hearing something along the lines of, 'Are you that obedient to her words? Are you simply going to do whatever she says? Just bury them. Why do you have to go to such lengths to get rid of them? What if you get caught halfway?'"
When Noah and Madeline heard it, their faces darkened. The sentence "Just bury them" was obviously referring to Thomas and Mackenzie.
Colton was fortunate to have been raised well and to have a pure heart, or he would have been completely won over by Quinn and left them. They could actually lose Thomas and Mackenzie at this point.
Even the mere thought of it made Madeline scared.
"Go back first." Noah gripped Madeline's hand tightly and asked Dylan to bring Thomas and the others over.
Madeline realized Thomas had been up to no good when she noticed his eyeballs darting all over the place. "What did you just do?" she demanded sternly.
She questioned how those two women suddenly appeared, given that bodyguards were stationed throughout the yacht. It was impossible for Noah's men to let them go simply because they had been smitten.
She finally realized what was going on after witnessing Thomas's behavior.
"It's my fault, Mommy. I put them up to it. I thought you two might need some motivation to take your relationship to the next level. Mommy, you can see that I made the correct decision. Daddy didn't even bother to give those two women a glance."
While speaking, Thomas clutched his bottoms.
"Mommy, I just want to help you test Daddy's loyalty to you! Please acknowledge my painstaking efforts, Mommy!"
A chase once again broke out on the deck.
Madeline was extremely worried that Thomas would run too fast and injure himself, so she simply told him she would straighten him out once they returned.
Thomas giggled and hid behind Noah with the small packet of powder in his arms hidden in a pocket on his chest.
Colton stood to the side, a guilty expression on his face. He winked at him and gave him a thumbs up, while Mackenzie was indifferent about his actions.
Anyway, Thomas had been as mischievous as a monkey since he was a child. She was used to seeing him like that.
The yacht eventually arrived at the island without incident. Madeline's energy level had plummeted, and when they disembarked, Noah simply carried her down, which made Linda jealous.
"Ms. Linda, please follow me." Andy stood in Linda's way. Linda's thoughts were exposed by his sharp eyes, which seemed to see right through her.
Linda blushed immediately and lowered her head in shame.
