Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 A Trap

Shane was taken aback by Noah's unwavering support for Madeline.

No matter how he tried to sow discord, it was useless.

He looked Noah in the eyes and displayed a somewhat perplexed expression.

Shane claimed, "We have always taken care of the property your parents left behind.It's a mess after so many years have passed."

Once more, Madeline threw several papers in Shane's direction.

She wanted to demonstrate to him that she had carefully arranged the accounts and he should stop making excuses.

Shane's complexion turned ghastly pale, but he refused to give in.

"If you don't want to give them to me, just answer a few questions honestly, and I'll let you go," Madeline said as she backed away.

Madeline thought it was useless to keep pressing Shane.She might push him into a corner.She, therefore, gave him some space to catch his breath.

Shane's expression softened slightly.

Madeline was somewhat puzzled.

They shouldn't value my parents’ property as highly given their wealth, right? They also gave Wilda control over all of those assets when she turned eighteen years old.

"What do you want to ask?"

The way Madeline was looking at him made Shane feel uneasy.He had the impression that Madeline could read all of his thoughts from the way she was looking at him.

Shane encouraged Madeline to ask as he inadvertently turned his head away.

Madeline exchanged glances with Noah.

Noah gave her a light nod.

Madeline then started to ask, "You shut down a biotechnology company that was registered in my mother's name the moment she vanished.Why?"

Noah had been silently observing Shane's expression, so he did not miss the panic and fear that flashed through his eyes.

After briefly calming down, Shane replied, "Each year, that business lost money.It would have kept losing money if I hadn't ended it."

Madeline replied, "There's no need to waste any more time because you weren't sincere enough to speak with us."

Madeline stared at Shane for a few seconds, then she waved her hand.

Lone Wolf took a step forward to knock out Wilbur and carry him away.

He was stopped by Shane after he quickly caught up with him.

Shane questioned, "Where are you taking him?"

Lone Wolf did not respond.

Instead, he simply turned to face Madeline, who remained silent as well.

That indicated that they would proceed with the original strategy.

Lone Wolf carried Wilbur on without pausing to look back.

Shane turned around and stared at Madeline.

He chastised, "How can you be so heartless? He's your biological uncle."

"You allowed the Grant family to torture me for years.Didn't you also have a heart of stone?"

Madeline raised an eyebrow and rebuked.

"We were unaware of what had happened to you at the Grant family!"

Shane refuted.

"Is that so? How did you instantly recognize me at a glance? Don't tell me you manage to do it because I resemble my mother.Even my son has trouble identifying me when I'm wearing makeup."

"Mommy, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes."

Thomas said as he excitedly waved his hand in their direction.

They had no idea when Thomas had climbed up the window ledge.

Thomas sneaked out of the room where his siblings were and searched for them for a long time before he found this place.

He had to climb through the window because he was unable to enter the room through the door.

Madeline sighed and glared at Noah, "Look at the wonderful son you gave birth to!"

Noah innocently took the blame.He walked up to Thomas and helped him off the window sill.He asked with a serious look, "Why are you here?"

"Colt is sick," Thomas explained and anxiously pulled Madeline toward the window.

When Madeline learned that Colton was ill, she started to feel nervous.She asked, "What happened?"

"I'm clueless.He got diarrhea all of a sudden.He began to have a fever after several trips to the bathroom," Thomas explained.

Thomas recalled how frail Colton appeared while he was inside the bathroom.He vowed to track down whoever poisoned Colt in silence.He would make that culprit suffer from diarrhea for ten or eight days.

Madeline turned around and shot a suspicious glance at Shane.

Noah comforted her by holding her hand.He said, "Colt will be okay."

The group ignored Shane and hurriedly prepared to go downstairs to see Colton.
