Chapter 241

“You don’t have to apologize, Mr. Solace. Just keep an eye on your sister. This is Imperia, notDoskoustein.”

Madeline was not fond of Annalise. For that reason, she did not take Rowan’s words seriously.Although Rowan came to apologize, he was not genuine at all. In fact, his intention was to giveMadeline warnings.

However, no matter how rich and powerful the Solace family was in the world, they had to give in toNoah when they were in Imperia. In fact, Madeline was using Noah’s power to suppress Rowan.

“The Solace family and the Quincy family are business partners. As Noah’s wife, I bet you’re generousand decent as what people said,” Rowan said scornfully. He leaned on the sofa casually with a paper inhis hand. The paper was full of Madeline’s information.

“Well, since the Solace family and the Quincy family are close, I hope you’re not mad at me for notletting Ms. Solace do what she wants. If Old Mr. Solace replaces out, it’s hard to explain to him.”

Is he trying to suppress me with the Solace family’s power? Damn it! He’s overconfident!

“No, of course, I’m not mad. In fact, I’m here to invite you for dinner at Phoenix International tomorrownight. Annalise and I will wait for you there.” As soon as Rowan finished his words, he hung up.

Hearing that, Madeline could not help but roll her eyes. She was not bothered at all.

“Ms. Madeline, Mr. Grant said he will only sign the agreement with you. He said if he doesn’t see you inperson, you will never know the cause of your mother’s death.” Albert handed the agreement ofacquiring Grant Corporation to Madeline.

Too many things happened in the last few days, and Madeline did not have time for Bruno. However,Bruno thought Madeline deliberately ignored him and called Albert almost every day.

“The cause of my mother’s death?” Madeline stood up. Her face darkened. She always thoughtSuzette was her mother, but it turned out that she was not. So who was her biological mother?

In the past, Madeline had hired a private detective to look into Bruno’s ex-wives. However, there wasno information at all, not even a photo.

“I think Mr. Grant had undiscovered stories about your mother’s death,” said Albert.

Bruno stammered when he was talking to Albert over the phone. Albert tried to ask him, but Brunorefused to reveal any details. He seemed vigilant.

“He’s desperate and is willing to do anything now. He can make up any stories he wants,” Madelinesaid and walked out the door.

Madeline did not feel any love or affection from her parents since she was a child. For that reason, shewas not curious about her mother. She only wanted to know if her mother left her deliberately orunintentionally.

Hearing what Madeline said, Albert quickly sent more people to keep an eye on Bruno. If Bruno hadsomething up in his sleeve, they could stop him before his attack.

“I was going to meet Mr. Grant at the coffee shop, but he said that he broke his leg and he couldn’twalk. We have to go to his place instead. He lives in a slum on the north side. The condition at thatplace is very bad. Do you think it’s a trap?” Albert explained while driving.

Staring out of the window, Madeline shrugged and replied, “He’s injured. There’s nothing he can do.”

Buzz!

When Madeline was pondering, her phone suddenly vibrated. There was an incoming message fromThomas.

Seeing that, she immediately replied.

Madeline: You can play computer games for one hour. After that, Mr. Charles will fetch you to thekindergarten.

Thomas: Mommy, but I’m worried about you. How about I stay at home for a few more days to takecare of you?

Madeline: I’m fine now. I don’t need you to take care of me.

Thomas: But what if Daddy asks? I’ve to cover for you, and I can only do that if I’m at home.

Madeline: You told Daddy that I went out?

Madeline was worried. Although she did not see Noah when she woke up, she was scared that hewould nag her.

Thomas and Colton kept pestering her, and Noah kept nagging her when they saw her going out. Eventhe butler prepared a lot of food for her to make her stay at home.

Madeline could not stand it anymore and sneaked out.

At first, Albert also nagged Madeline as per Noah’s instruction. However, he shut up as soon asMadeline glared at him.

Thomas: Don’t worry, Mommy. Daddy doesn’t know. I’m always on your side.

Madeline: Okay. You can have fun on the computer for another half an hour.

Thomas: No, Mommy, please.

Madeline: The decision is final.

“Ms. Madeline, we’re here.” Albert opened the door.

Madeline was dumbfounded when she saw what was in front of her. The place was more shabby thanshe imagined. It was deserted.

The infrastructure in the area was poor, and the people living in the slum were in poverty. There wasexcrement and garbage everywhere. Not only that, there was not even a clean pavement to walk on.

As far as Madeline knew, Bruno sold two of his houses. He should not have ended up in a place likethis.

“Mrs. Grant cheated all his money, and when Mr. Grant and Kingsley went to ask for it, Mrs. Grantasked his men to break Mr. Grant’s leg,” Albert explained when he saw that Madeline was puzzled.

Hearing that, Madeline had mixed feelings. Bruno adored Suzette so much. How could a shrewd manlike Bruno be deceived by his own woman?

“I think Mr. Grant wants you to help Kingsley. Heard that he’s sick.” Albert was startled too when hefound out Bruno, a selfish man would think for others.

Madeline could not help but frown. However, a homeless man opposite her kept staring at her. She feltuncomfortable.

When Madeline was still hesitating about whether to let Albert bring Bruno out, she heard a screech ofbrakes and footsteps behind her.

Madeline was shocked. She grabbed the dagger in her pocket. However, when she saw the familiarMaybach, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down the dagger in her hand.

“Mrs. Quincy, please wait a moment.” Wayne hurried into the building with his men. After a moment,they carried Bruno and Kingsley out with stretchers.

Madeline glanced at the Maybach several times. It was parked quite a distance away. She was notsure if there was anyone in the car.

“Didn’t you say you want to acquire Grant Corporation? Where’s the agreement? I can sign theagreement now but I want to get the money right away!”

Lying on the stretcher, Bruno seemed to lose a lot of weight. Not only was his hair messy, but he alsohad a lot of gray hair.

Kingsley, lying next to Bruno, was in a bad condition. He looked sick. It seemed that he was dying.

“What do you want the money for? Do you still want to make a comeback?” Madeline glared at Bruno.

“It’s none of your business! Just give me the money!” Bruno did not trust anyone now. Even his wifewanted him to die. Only Kingsley was loyal to him. For that reason, he wanted to save Kingsley nomatter what.
