Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Same Name

“Of course I’m worried!” Even though Dylan was fearful of Noah’s piercing gaze, he was determined to report the truth. “Did you know what Colt was up to? He snuck to the room by himself and sat on the window ledge to look at the view. When I asked why he was holding an umbrella, he said Angie told him if he jumped down with it, he could fly! Who knows what would have happened if I hadn’t found him!”

Noah’s expression hardened and his eyes blazed with anger. “Angie is Colt’s aunt. She has always been kind to him. Instruct the servants to hide all of the umbrellas in the house.” The man paused when he realized that he was speaking up for Angie.

Disappointed at Noah’s support for Angie, Dylan protested, “You should be wary of that woman. If she has ill intentions, she’ll…” He came to a halt when he noticed Noah’s piercing stare. He then sighed and continued, “All right, you can forget about everything I said.”

Dylan stormed out of the room without waiting for a response. On his way out, he bumped into Wayne, who was standing at the door.

“We have an emergency, Sir!” Wayne reported in a deep husky voice.

As soon as Noah heard the man’s words, his mood took a turn for the worse. He replied in annoyance, “Speak.”

“Someone damaged the alarm system, resulting in a security lapse for about ten minutes. We have sent our men to search the entire villa, but we didn’t find any suspicious activity,” Wayne declared.

“I want this matter investigated. Strengthen our security system, and send someone to protect Colt!” Noah ordered. He was uneasy because the Quincy family used the world’s best security system, and such incidents had never occurred in the past. Furthermore, he found the matter suspicious as there were too many coincidences happening on the same day. He continued, “Check if the woman is responsible for this.”

“We haven’t found anything suspicious. The woman is very mysterious; there’s no information about her available. All we have learned is that her name is Madeline Grant…” Wayne immediately regretted saying her name. Everyone in Imperia knew that it was taboo to mention “Madeline Grant” in front of Noah. He foresaw the woman’s fate – she would be forced to leave Imperia even though she committed no fault.

“Madeline Grant?” Noah bellowed, his face scrunched into a scowl.

Wayne immediately tried to salvage the situation. “It’s a coincidence that they share the same name. They look so different!” It was impossible for someone who had passed away five years ago to resurrect. Moreover, they don’t share the same looks or personalities.

“There’s something wrong with her. I want a thorough investigation,” Noah hissed. He did not think it was a coincidence that a woman named Madeline Grant was paying her respects to Gordon. Noah suspected that the woman was behind tonight’s security breach. Although she bore no resemblance to Madeline, there was an oddly familiar feeling whenever Noah was close to her. Like Madeline, the mysterious woman could make his heart race and make him feel suffocated.

“I understand.” Wayne paused to study Noah’s face before continuing, “There’s another matter. Someone has been spreading rumors about Ms. Angie today. It is now a trending topic across all social media platforms. Shall we send our men to do something about it?” The man passed the tablet to Noah so that he could view the headline news.
