Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 413

CHAPTER 413 NABBING

Madeline did not respond to Linda right away. Instead, she took her time to relish her meal. It had crossed their mind to send Linda to get information out of Quinn, but they had not established whether Linda was worth the trust or that she was willing to extract the information.

There was a possibility that the plan might backfire, and Linda would end up giving out the news about the island to Quinn instead. It would do more harm than good.

In the last few days, the security team on the island had been leaking Quinn’s whereabouts to Linda on purpose. However, Linda did not take the bait and did not visit Quinn in prison. In fact, Dylan even allowed Linda out of the island under the excuse of getting groceries, but Linda said no.

After several days of observation, Madeline had built a bit of confidence in Linda’s character. The girl was not a foolish goody-two-shoes or a wicked manipulating woman. All Linda was trying to do was fight for her personal gain.

Although Madeline disapproved of Linda’s reliance on men, Madeline was willing to give Linda an opportunity to work for them since the latter had not done anything wrong on the island.

Linda took Madeline’s reluctance as a concern that she might meet Quinn and be in cahoots with her. So, Linda decided to let the subject be.

“Alright. You can give it a try.”

Linda abruptly picked her head back up, and her dim eyes lit up. Linda was aware of her beauty, but she was nothing in comparison to Madeline. Although Dylan did not shut her flirting down, he did not treat her any differently than anyone else.

Worried that she could not win Dylan’s heart, Linda came up with an idea to gather intelligence. At least, she would appear useful to them.

That night, Linda secretly sneaked into where Quinn was kept. Since the security team had resorted to physical punishment to extract information from Quinn, Linda was startled by her sister’s bloody state.

“Quinn!” Linda ran over as tears gushed down her cheeks.

For Linda to be alive and well in front of her, Quinn could not hide the resentment in her eyes. Why? Why was she suffering here while Linda was doing well?

“To think you managed to escape from them.”

Pretending not to notice the sarcasm on Quinn’s face, Linda untied Quinn and said, “I met a doctor on the island. He’s a nice guy. He pleaded for me and got me a job as a cook on the island.”

It was a good thing Quinn was not imprisoned with the others. Otherwise, Linda’s cover would have blown.

“Are you here to save me?” Quinn skeptically sized Linda up. Once her hands were free, Quinn began to loosen the rope around her feet.

“We’re sisters no matter what. How can I possibly watch you die? Besides, my passport is with you…” Linda wiped away her tears and looked at Quinn with sadness and helplessness.

Quinn fell on her bottom to take a breather from the pain before asking, “What happened to the guards watching the door?”

“I drugged their food. I stole the poison from you. I saw you trying to lace my food, so I stole the stuff and hid it.”

Linda gave Quinn a begrudging look. Noticing the deep wound on Quinn, Linda felt sorry and patched her up quickly.

As Lind did not seem to be faking it, Quinn ran her fingers along Linda’s hair and complimented, “That’s a smart move.”

“What do we do now, Quinn? We can’t get to sea without a boat.” While tending to Linda’s wound, Linda asked with concern.

Quinn fixated on Linda’s face before beckoning her to come closer. Thinking that Quinn wanted to say something in secret, Linda unsuspectingly drew near.

Alas, Quinn grabbed a brick and whacked Linda on the head.

She then removed Linda’s clothes to switch the outfit between them. Quinn tied Linda's hands and feet up before letting her hair down so that Linda hung off the wall with her head down.

It had been a full day since the people on the island checked on Quinn, so it would buy Quinn some time before they discovered Linda was held there instead of her.

“Be an angel, my dear sister, and take the suffering in my stead.” Quinn then left the room without looking back. She bore no guilt for Linda. In fact, Quinn was smug that she came up with the old switcheroo.

Quinn exited the room and saw the four unconscious guards at the door. Not one to wander around, Quinn made her way straight into the nearby forest.

“Ms. Grant, the snake has left the building,” Albert told Madeline, who was enjoying a cup of tea in a seated position.

Madeline let out a chuckle and put the cup down before walking out. Today was the day Madeline was going to catch the mastermind Quinn was working for.

The feud between Madeline and the mastermind was determined the moment the latter tried to kill her children.

“You can leave the matter in our hands, Ms. Grant. You…” Albert tried to talk Madeline out of it since Madeline was not doing well health-wise. It was uncertain when her dizzy spells would act up again.

Madeline did not take Albert’s advice seriously as she knew her own body. Madeline believed she should be able to last twelve hours before passing out.

Hence, Madeline paid no mind to Albert and took two hired guns with her to follow Quinn into the woods.

Quinn did not go deep into the forest and merely bypassed the security outside the residence through the woods before standing on the beach to send a beacon.

She hid the distress flare between her girls. Due to her voluptuous figure, the young guards did not discover the pyrotechnic device during the search.

An hour and a half after the distress flare lit in the sky, a boat silently approached the further coast from the villa.

Albert signaled to Madeline whether to go ahead with the arrest, but Madeline raised her arm to stay back. She ordered him to prepare a submarine.

She believed the mastermind would not personally come and pick Quinn up.

Soon, Quinn got onboard the boat. The unlit boat quietly drifted away from the coast.

Meanwhile, Madeline’s midget submarine was ready to set out. Madeline got into the submarine and locked down on Quinn’s boat through the radar.

The vessels navigated through the sea for more than an hour.

Albert was on tenterhooks every time Madeline let out a yawn.

“Ms. Grant, get some rest. I’ll call you when we get there.”

“Sure.” Since Madeline was tired, she took Albert’s suggestion.

Albert woke Madeline up two hours later. Quinn’s boat had reached ashore.

“I have eyes on shore. Don’t worry.” With Madeline rushing to put on her shoes, Albert put her mind at ease.

Madeline gave a nod. Still, she wanted to get the mastermind right away.

Once Madeline led Albert and the rest arrived on land, Quinn had left the dock in a car. It was a good thing Albert had people waiting by the shore, so they did not lose the target.

“Where are you now?” Noah suddenly gave Madeline a call. He sounded anxious and furious.

“I’m busy now. Talk to you later.” Madeline caught a glimpse of Quinn and a man’s side profile when Quinn’s ride was turning a corner. Not in the mood for chatter, Madeline urged the driver to go faster.
