Chapter 47
“Let go of me! Let go! You’re filthy!” Angie was spluttering because she was too agitated.
Incidentally, she got slapped as soon as she said that.
“Oh, you think I’m filthy? Why didn’t you feel dirty when you were doing those things abroad? You’d still be in that mud pit if James hadn’t picked us up last night. Get a hold of yourself!”
Suzette’s words stunned Angie.
“Your father drove me out in the pouring rain. Why should I be faithful to him and guard our marriage? My precious daughter, grow up!”
“Y-You two hooked up a long time ago, right?”
“This has nothing to do with you. What do you want from me?” Suzette disregarded Angie’s question and pulled her silk nightrobe closer to her. She then walked over to the living room sofa and lit a cigarette.
When Angie looked at the woman in front of her, she thought of her as a total stranger.
She had always seen her mother as the respectable, stately, and elegant Mrs. Grant.
How did she suddenly become someone who smoked, drank, and was slutty?
She couldn’t accept it!
“Tell me the truth, Mom. Is it true that I am my father’s biological daughter?”
“Of course you are! Whether your father wants you now or not, you are the Grant family’s sole heir, so don’t worry, my precious daughter. I’ll make sure you have everything you want.”
“But you…”
“My business is none of your concern.”
“Okay.” After Angie calmed down, she realized she had no one to rely on but her mother.
She was therefore forced to put up with it, no matter how unsatisfied she was.
“Can you now explain why you were looking for me earlier?”
“I want you to help me kill Madeline. I’ve had bad luck ever since she showed up. I have a feeling that as long as I get rid of this woman, everything will be fine!”
“I’m already helping you with this family issue, but things aren’t going well. You should get some rest first. I’ll let you know as soon as I have good news.”
“Mom, can you really help me get rid of Madeline?”
“Foolish child. Of course I can. Anyone who gets in my daughter’s way does not deserve to live.”
…
Noah fell asleep while he stayed by Madeline’s bedside for two hours.
His sleep quality had deteriorated recently, and he hadn’t slept so well in a long time, so when he awoke in the morning, he was full of vigor.
His mood was great as well.
He couldn’t tell whether his sound sleep was the cause or whether Madeline’s presence had anything to do with it.
Although Noah was sitting in his office and staring at the computer screen, his thoughts had already wandered.
He was still thinking about the scene from earlier in the morning.
The person lying next to him was like an insecure child, clutching him tightly with her tiny hands as if she was afraid he would abandon her all by herself.
Her body’s subtle fragrance instantly calmed him.
I wonder if she is awake now.
Will she remember I was by her side when she ran a fever?
No, she has never had a conscience. How could she have remembered…
Wayne knocked on the door and walked in while Noah was still thinking.
“S-Sir… Why are you red in the face? Have you got a fever?”
