Chapter 45
“Bruno…”
Suzette still wanted to beg for mercy, but Bruno ignored her. She went upstairs in a pompous manner, with Kingsley supporting her arm.
“Bruno…”
Suzette still wanted to beg for mercy, but Bruno ignored her. She went upstairs in a pompous manner, with Kingsley supporting her arm.
She lacked the vigor and spirit she once possessed. She was only fifty years old, but her movements had taken on an elderly gait as if she had suddenly aged ten years.
Suzette’s life seemed hopeless. She slumped and broke down in tears.
The servants in the living room had been dismissed long ago, and no one approached, even if they heard the commotion in the living room.
Suzette did not give a damn about maintaining her public persona as she berated Bruno in the living room for thirty minutes before Bruno’s bodyguards finally threw her out.
Angie, who was in despair, was thrown out with her.
It began to rain heavily outside, and the badly battered mother and daughter huddled together in the pouring rain, pitifully resembling two unwanted stray dogs.
The mother and daughter walked out in a huddle. Angie tripped and fell in a puddle while wearing high heels, getting mud all over her body.
She sat in the puddle, refusing to get up despite Suzette’s best efforts to help her. It appeared as though reality had finally set in for her.
“It’s all over now, Mom. What do I do? What should I do?!”
“Don’t be afraid, my good girl. Get up quickly. I’ll find a way for you as long as I’m here!”
Suzette tightly hugged Angie, who was trembling all over.
“Angie, you must be strong. This is only a minor setback. The Grant family would only be a trifle when you marry Noah, right?”
“How am I going to marry Noah in this state?”
“A pitiful woman moves people. Let’s first find a place to settle down, and then we’ll make a plan…”
A fierce determination could be seen on Suzette’s face.
Her precious daughter was her only hope in this life, and she would never give up!
…
Meanwhile, back at Golden Dome International, Madeline awoke in an unfamiliar environment and instinctively became alert.
She was about to get up when she realized someone was holding her hand.
The person next to her was half-slumped on the bed, sleeping with only his side profile visible.
She carefully turned to look and then realized it was Noah.
Madeline suddenly became nervous!
What had happened to her? How could she be here, and why was Noah by her side?
Madeline had so many questions in her head, and she even thought she was dreaming!
It had to be a dream; otherwise, how could Noah, a man who had wanted her dead, hold her hand so tenderly and refuse to let go even when he fell asleep?
While thinking about that, Madeline fell back asleep.
She was already back in Maple Forest Villa when she woke up again.
Albert gave her a worried look. His eyes were bloodshot, and he didn’t appear to have slept all night.
Andy had messy hair and dark circles under his eyes.
Those unaware might have assumed that these two people did something heinous together last night!
