Chapter 280

“Noah, I really just misunderstood Ms. Madline and those kids, nothing more. Stop being mad at me,will you?” Annalise saw that Noah finally waved his hand to signal for her to enter the suite after he waskissed by Mackenzie. She felt elated yet jealous at the same time.

“Let me give you a word of warning, Ms. Solace. In all of Imperia, nobody dares to lift a finger at mypeople.” Noah glared at her coldly.

Annalise felt a shiver run down her spine as she quickly nodded, “I got it. I won’t be mad at themanymore in the future.”

Noah said nothing to that as he turned to look at Madeline. It was as if he was implying that Madelineheld the power to decide Annalise’s fate in Imperia.

Madeline knitted her brow and displayed a repulsive look on her face. Annalise put on a forced smileand apologized, “I know that you’re a woman with a big heart. Don’t be bothered by my antics.”

“You really know how to change your face instantly.” Thomas made a funny face at Annalise beforescurrying into the suite with Colton holding his hand.

Annalise gnashed her teeth so hard that they almost broke. However, she still had to maintain hersmile.

She swore that she would let Madeline and these little good-for-nothings meet an unfortunate ending!

“Let me give you some advice, Ms. Solace. Don’t try to aim your resentment at me just because youcan’t get your hands on Mr. Quincy. I really don’t like trouble. Don’t blame me later on if I accidentallyhurt you.”

Madeline had a look on her face that made her look like she was looking down on Annalise, who wasnow a laughing stock in Madeline’s eyes.

Annalise almost couldn’t control her temper.

Suddenly, someone marched towards them.

“Noah!”

Noah turned around and saw that it was Lucas. He was a little surprised.

It was rare for Lucas to address him like that in public, given how he normally behaved.

“Noah, I want to have a meal together with you, ” Lucas stated his purpose immediately.

He too was another person who wanted a piece of their meal in the suite.

Madeline saw that Mia was together with Lucas. She nodded in a friendly gesture to greet Mia.

At the same time, Mia was shooting her a look that seemed to indicate that she was reluctant to followinto the suite for a meal.

“Fine, come in.” After all, their family gathering had already been ruined by Rowan and Annalise.Things couldn’t get worse even if Lucas wanted to join in.

When Mia heard that Noah had agreed to let them in, her shoulder sagged all the way down.

When they took their seats, Madeline noticed something interesting. Lucas actually held out a chair forMia to sit on. Mia was so confused at the moment that she actually looked cute.

Madeline smiled at such a spectacle, but just as she was about to sit down, Annalise was headingtowards her all of a sudden. Fearing that the soup on Annalise would stain her, she quickly gave way to

dodge her.

Noah instinctively pulled her to another side and made her sit down next to him.

Annalise didn’t plan to give up just yet. She wanted to sit close to Noah, but the other seat next to himwas snatched away by Mackenzie.

Thomas and Colton then proceeded to take a seat next to Mackenzie. Mia happened to just sit next toMadeline.

It was a round table that they were huddled around. Yet, Annalise was left all alone by herself sittingopposite all of them. The atmosphere was beyond awkward.

“Noah…” Annalise sobbed at Noah with teary eyes.

Noah ignored her as he asked Lucas, “Why did you come here?”

Lucas always buried himself in work, and he normally wouldn’t have his meal outside. This wasbecause he thought that it was a waste of time to spend more time than necessary on eating.

Therefore, he would always eat a lunchbox that was prepared by his family. When he was out on abusiness trip, Mia would buy him his lunch and send it all the way to his office.

It was indeed a rare sight for him to come to a restaurant to have a meal. This was even more true ofthe fact that he wanted to join in on a meal in a suite like this.

“To eat.” Lucas’ answer was straightforward.

Noah raised his brows. Of course, he wasn’t satisfied with such an answer.

Lucas provided more explanation, “That day, you told me that it was very romantic to kiss your wife, soI tried…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was clasped hard by Mia.

Mia shut her eyes and wished that she was never there in the first place. She realized that the rabbitwas out of the box.

Madeline glared at Noah and her face was bright red too. She thought, Why is this man disclosingevery single detail of our private life to an outsider?

“Ugh, my wife is indeed a sweet person,” Noah said while moving close to Madeline’s ears.

Madeline pushed him away, which made him bump into a waiter. The waiter was holding a jug of hotwater, and the water almost spilled onto Mackenzie.

Noah was quick on his feet as he moved forward and took Mackenzie into his embrace.

All of the hot water splashed onto his back.

“Daddy!” The three children shouted out at the same time.

When Noah heard those three calling him daddy, he felt like the pain in his back was not so severeanymore.

He caressed her head and asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Mackenzie shook her head and then she bit her lips hard. Soon, tears started to fall from her eyes.

Was this how it felt like to be protected by a father? She felt so touched by his gesture.

“Go to where your mommy is. Make sure your clothes are dry.” Noah passed Mackenzie to Madeline.

Then, he finally stood up and was about to head to the washroom to rinse his back with some coldwater.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Quincy. I didn’t mean to do this!” The waiter’s face was pale because of this suddenturn of events. He dropped to his knees in front of Noah to beg for forgiveness.

“Why are you still on your knees? Go fetch some ointment, quick!” The manager of the restaurant led afew waiters in, and he was sweating profusely. He reprimanded the waiter who allowed the hot water tosplash onto Noah before escorting Noah outside of the suite.

Madeline and Lucas wanted to follow them but Annalise happened to bump into a woman just outsidethe suite. She managed to stain that woman’s skirt.

That woman and her friends were huddled near the entrance of the suite, not allowing any of them toleave the suite.

Madeline sensed that things were going wrong. She picked up a knife that was meant for the steak andshoved the knife near that man’s neck.

“Go away or you might die!”

“What do you think you are doing? Are you going to commit a crime in broad daylight?” Although thatman was retorting, he was visibly shaken by Madeline’s crazy antics.

Madeline exerted more force into her grip and pushed the knife a little into that man’s skin, which stunghim a little. He staggered clumsily and pretended to be angered, “Just you wait!”

Then, he ran off.

When the others saw that he had run off, they began to fear what Madeline might do with that knife.They all followed suit.

When everyone was gone, Madeline finally realized that Annalise was nowhere to be seen.

“Go look for Noah,” Madeline ordered Lucas before darting off with the kids.

Lucas was a prescient person. He immediately had a foreboding feeling that someone wanted to hurtNoah. He began to call Wayne on the phone while looking for Noah with Mia.

Madeline began to head in the direction of the washroom by following the sign boards along the way,but the more she ventured, the more she felt that something was off. When she almost reached theend of the corridor, Mackenzie who was just next to her was taken away by someone in a suite.

She kicked open the door of that suite immediately and barged in.

However, the moment she showed herself, a mysterious powder was sprinkled all over her face.

She immediately stopped breathing, but it was too late. She only managed to get ahold of Mackenziewho was now unconscious and she soon fell to the floor. She was all sprawled out by the door.

“Hey, we have gotten ourselves a beauty. This is a nice catch.” A few lecherous men started to maketheir way toward her.
