CHAPTER 426 CAN’T YOU GET RID OF MADELINE?
Rowan was afraid that Annalise would attract Steve’s attention, so he quickly dragged her outside.
Annalise wanted to get Steve to support her at first, so she struggled to stay there. However, Rowan carried her on his shoulders and walked outside.
“Rowan, what are you doing? Put me down!”
Rowan ignored Annalise’s screams and carried her to her room. He finally put her down after he closed the door and said seriously, “Grandpa is weak. He can’t take any shock. Have you forgotten?”
Annalise felt a little guilty and retorted, “Of course, I remember! That was why I wanted to chase Madeline away. I don’t want her to disturb Grandpa.”
“Is that really your true intention?” Rowan asked.
“If you want to marry into the Quincy family successfully, you should stop causing trouble. Even if Mr. Quincy wanted to divorce Madeline, she is still the triplets’ mother. How can Mr. Quincy leave them in your care if you are already causing Madeline trouble before you even get married?”
Rowan had his doubts about Noah marrying Annalise. Back in Uranica, Rowan felt Noah still loved Madeline very much, so he should not have abandoned her and wanted to marry Annalise instead.
However, Noah’s side did release the announcement of the marriage.
The only explanation is that Noah wanted both the opportunity to work with the Solace family and also Madeline as her lover. However, Rowan wondered if Madeline would really become his lover. Perhaps Noah used the triplets to force Madeline.
She was alone and helpless five years ago. She had been bullied by Noah once. This time, Rowan could not let it happen again. He wanted Madeline to leave Noah once and for all.
“I don’t mind if I don’t need to take care of them.” Annalise rolled her eyes. She did not like kids after all and never wanted to take care of Noah’s three brats.
Rowan looked at Annalise and shook his head with disappointment.
Ever since she came to Imperia, Annalise’s good girl image was totally ruined. She did not even want to pretend anymore. Rowan wondered who gave her the courage to be arrogant.
“Don’t you know how much Mr. Quincy loves his triplets? If you don’t like them, do you think Mr. Quincy will like you?” If she was not his sister, Rowan would not even waste his time explaining such a simple thing to her.
Annalise suddenly understood. She figured it would be easy to get along with the triplets by buying them something. There was no need to offend Noah because of them.
“I already told you. Mr. Quincy loves Madeline and the triplets. You better think it through whether you want to marry him or not. The Solace family doesn’t need to sacrifice you for our own benefits.”
“Does it mean everything’s fine if Madeline’s gone? Rowan, why can’t you get rid of Madeline? Then, Mr. Quincy will only have eyes for me.” Annalise stared at Rowan angrily as if it was all his fault.
Annalise was so annoyed. Rowan was supposed to be her brother, but he was always siding with Madeline.
“Annalise, we are honest people running an honest business. We don’t do anything that gets blood on our hands. You are a daughter of the Solace family, not a princess or a queen. You can’t just get rid of anyone as you wish! If you hurt Madeline, Noah will send you straight to prison tomorrow!”
Rowan was totally disappointed in his own sister. Being a scheming person was not a problem for him, but what worried Rowan was the fact that Annalise was evil and stupid at the same time.
Perhaps she would one day drag the whole Solace family down.
“You are just afraid! Coward!” Annalise turned her back towards Rowan.
Rowan was worried that he might die from frustration, so he turned around and left the room. He also locked the door from the outside.
When Annalise heard the door locking behind her, she knocked on the door and shouted, “Rowan, let me out!”
“The day after tomorrow is your birthday. It is also your engagement with the Quincy family. Just get yourself ready in your room.”
After that, Rowan ordered the maid in the villa to not let her out no matter what.
He never agreed to this marriage from the beginning. However, Annalise insisted on marrying Noah and even persuaded Steve to agree to it.
Annalise shouted in her room for a long time, but no one replied. She blamed everything that happened to her on Madeline and wanted her dead.
“Is the movie ready? I want you to start filming now. We must begin production before Madeline. Also, don’t let Clinton go!”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Solace. Everything has been prepared. You can look at what they are saying on the internet right now.”
Annalise hung up angrily. After losing out against Madeline in the morning, she splashed a lot of money to hire a few famous actors and simply formed a production crew to film a rip-off of the movie Mackenzie is in. She also spent a lot of money to hire a scriptwriter for the movie. Then, she hired a team to spread rumors on the internet saying the story of Mackenzie’s film was the rip-off. After all, the cast members of that film were mostly unknown except for her.
Now that Clinton, who became infamous for being trolled, had been confirmed as the male lead, everyone started to believe Mackenzie was being greedy and only returned to Imperia to make money. Some even accused her of being a foreigner and thought she should return to where she belonged.
Annalise finally calmed down when she saw Mackenzie being bashed on the internet. Then, she called her assistant, Liam.
“Who are the guests of my engagement banquet?”
“Don’t worry. With Old Mr. Solace around, every reputable person in Imperia will attend the banquet.”
“Invite Madeline.”
“Madeline? What if she caused trouble at the banquet…”
“Just get someone to keep an eye on her! I want to ruin her during this banquet. I want her to be humiliated in front of Noah and Colton. When the time comes, you will…”
Liam was shocked after hearing what Annalise said. However, he had always been following her instructions, so he dared not defy her.
After Rowan left Annalise’s room, he went to the backyard to look for Madeline immediately. However, he was told by a maid that she had left with Thomas.
“Did Grandpa meet Madeline?”
“No. Ms. Madeline called the boy. Then, he left after saying goodbye to Old Mr. Solace.”
Rowan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also disappointed.
After what happened today, Madeline was probably being cautious around them. She must have noticed his intention of getting Thomas to stay. Otherwise, she would not have left without saying a word.
