CHAPTER 538 IF YOU WISH TO DIE SO MUCH, I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN SOON
“What do you mean that I’ve harassed you? You better don’t spout nonsense without any proof! Canary, you better switch off your phone now, or else I will freeze your bank account!” Wilda was really beyond furious. Not only was she getting accused blatantly, but she was also suffering from her wounded palm as well.
These people had the nerve to pile criticisms on her!
Lone Wolf, who was accused of spouting nonsense, looked at her incredulously, “I’m humiliating you? Do you think I even need to do that? Everyone saw with their eyes how I’ve saved you from drowning. I was wet all over, and someone told me that you like guys with big tools, which was a hint that you’re trying to take advantage of me, don’t you think so? I am proud of myself for standing my ground so that you are not able to get what you wish.” Lone Wolf staggered backward with caution as if Wilda would pounce on him at any time.
As for Canary who was getting threatened by Wilda to freeze his bank account, he simply stared at her as if she was retarded, “The amount in my bank is the result of hard work from my parents. You’re not someone who can decide to freeze my bank account, remember that.”’
Canary and his parents were distant relatives, so they were not a prominent presence in the Harvey family. His parents were able to accumulate some wealth through honest hard work, so they could proudly say that they never relied on the Harvey family when it came to money.
She initially thought that the main family would praise him and his parents for living with dignity, but he never thought that Wilda would see their wealth and assets as her own.
Canary who usually had a nonchalant expression had a darkened expression on his face now. There was even some trace of anger brewing in his eyes.
“Ms. Harvey, our grandpa is still alive and well. Do you seriously think that the whole Harvey family belongs to you now? How can you threaten to freeze Canary’s bank card as you wish? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can really snatch away our inheritance?” Winova never thought that Wilda would say something so outrageous.
Wilda’s greed only seemed to grow as she lived in comfort for too long. She really thought that she would be the sole inheritor of the Harvey family.
Wilda was speechless as she continued to be berated by the three of them. When she turned around, she saw that Shane had returned. He was looking at her with disappointment in his eyes, “What are you guys doing here? Go downstairs to eat dinner now.”
“Grandpa, Wilda wanted to slice that maid’s face just now. She’s too terrifying. I was simply trying to stop her, but she threatened to freeze my bank account in return. It is as if she has already talked about this with her parents, and she really believes that she has the power to do that.”
Winova made sure to throw shade at Wilda.
Shane’s expression was already very hideous, but now it was even more terrifying after listening to Winova. He glanced at Madeline’s face and asked, “Are you fine?”
Madeline nodded as she was not hurt by Wilda’s futile attack. If she could be hurt so easily, there was no way she could survive until now.
Shane decided to not pursue this matter after making sure that Madeline was fine. He led the others to the dining room to have dinner.
Noah deliberately walked toward the end of the line, and he was secretly holding Madeline’s hand, “Are you really fine?”
He was really shocked when he saw Wilda flinging the scissors at her face. If Madeline did not notice him and give him a look, he would really rush in and kick hard at Wilda to send her flying.
“I am really fine. You better bring Wilda to the resort as soon as possible,” Madeline answered in a low voice while her gaze was focused on Wilda who was trying to suck up to Shane now.
Noah wanted to bring this matter to a close too so that he could bring the family back to Imperia again. He was more than happy to carry out his mission as soon as possible.
Around the dining table, Shane acted normally as if nothing had happened. He talked business with Noah like usual, and Noah bantered with him while keeping an eye on Wilda.
When Wilda left the dining table because she could not endure the pain in her hand anymore, Noah decided to follow her.
“Hey, look at him. Does Mr. Quincy finally begin to have feelings for Ms. Harvey?” Lone Wolf grabbed Madeline who was scooping some dishes and asked in a soft voice.
Madeline rolled her eyes at him, “Don’t speak nonsense. He knows what he is doing.”
“You don’t know how guys are, Madeline. Don’t you know how many guys try to cheat on their spouses by using work or business as an excuse? Do you trust him that much?” The dining table was a long rectangular shape, and Lone Wolf was seated at one end. Their conversation would not be picked up by anyone else who did not sit close to them.
Madeline did not want to shoot the breeze with him, so she simply shot a look at him to warn him against doing reckless things before leaving.
However, Canary who was beside Lone Wolf asked curiously, “What were guys talking about? I heard Wilda and Mr. Quincy’s names in your conversation.”
Madeline remained calm as she smiled lightly, “Mr. Gillian claims that Mr. Quincy has his eyes on Ms. Harvey now. He is advising me to resign from this job soon so that I won’t get targeted by them.”
“Doesn’t Mr. Quincy has a wife? He won’t seriously do that, right? I always see him as a decent man,” In fact, when Canary was still a rebellious teenager, he worshiped Noah like an idol. He used to swear back then that he would make their family proud and turn their family into a prominent force. He used to sweat to make his family proud so that everyone knew how great they could be.
He even dreamed of setting up his own business once his business exceeded Shane’s. That way, they did not need to live under their roof anymore.
However, those were simply illusions. He was crushed by reality eventually.
He had put in a lot of effort but he ended up losing more than two million dollars. That was what solidified his conviction to stop working.
“You don’t know him at all. He’s always a playboy,” Lone Wolf did not even bat an eyelid when he lied about Noah.
Madeline stared at him quietly. If he was so fearless, he should continue to run his mouth. She wanted to see if he was really that fearless.
“Damn, you can’t really judge a book by its cover,” Canary was gullible enough to believe him, which surprised Lone Wolf. He did not know what else he could accuse Noah of at the moment.
“Then, have you decided? Are you really resigning? Don’t you always say that you have a grandfather who is suffering from a terminal illness, and you have a few children to provide for? You’re so young, so I didn’t expect you to be married and have kids in the first place. What about your husband? Does he not work at all?” Canary could not stop blabbering off question after question.
Even Winova and Sean had come over to listen to some gossip.
Madeline’s lips twitched as she thought of the impossibility of her situation. How could she come up with an excuse now?
“Her husband is already dead,” Lone Wolf suddenly answered on her behalf, which solved her current dilemma of not being able to come up with a logical excuse.
“It turns out that you’re a widow disguised as a playgirl,” Winova scanned her and let out a sigh.
Madeline was speechless at the moment. Sean offered excitedly, “How much money do you need for your grandfather’s treatment? I can lend you some.”
“No thanks, why should I borrow from you without any reason?” Madeline quickly rejected him.
Sean waved his hands dismissively, “It’s not like I am doing charity. I have decided to court you, so a little amount of money like this is nothing.”
Lone Wolf spat his tea on Canary’s face, “What did you just say?”
Canary immediately wiped his face with some tissue paper, and he paraphrased for Sean, “He is saying that he wants to be this maid’s boyfriend.”
“If you wish to die so much, I don’t mind making it happen for you soon,” Lone Wolf glared at Sean ferociously.
