Abusive Wife

Chapter 273

At the mansion in Uranica, Mr. Steve Solace had sat down at the main seat, while next to him sat his sons and grandchildren, more than twenty people.

The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive. Everyone was very cautious, eagerly puzzling over what Mr. Steve was about to do.

Ten minutes ago, all their cell phones were hacked simultaneously. Then a live cast of Annalise was brought up. They were stunned when Annalise shouted for “damn old man.” They tried to turn off their cell phones, but they could not, no matter how hard they tried.

Since everyone’s cell phones contained highly confidential information, an anti-hacking system was installed. But it did not work because the cell phones were hacked nonetheless.

An indecent face with its tongue out was shown at the end of the live cast. It was embarrassing.

“Please investigate who is hacking the phones. We just need to retract all the leaked information.” Mr. Steve finally spoke up after a long while.

“Yes.” They all stood up and answered politely.

“You may go now.” Mr. Steve waved his hand and walked out of the living room with the help of Janice, the old butler.

Some younger men began to discuss as they walked out.

“Annalise is insane, isn’t she?”

“I do not know. Annalise is usually very pretending, and maybe she shows her true self this time.”

“She must have caused trouble for someone powerful. Someone couldn’t have spent so much to hack our cell phones and bring us a live cast.”

“It could be Imperia’s dirty work. Shall we go to check?”

“Sure.”

Silence reigned in the mansion as Janice brought Steve a cup of hot milk.

Steve took a sip of the milk with reddened eyes. “This chocolate-flavored milk is Eliza’s favorite. Last time, I did not allow her to drink it because I was afraid she would get her teeth broken.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Madam will be well-taken care of with Sir by her side.” Janice had watched Steve Solace’s son and daughter-in-law grow up, and he, too, became emotional.

“That punk! I’ll have to teach him a lesson when he gets home.” Steve sighed.

Steve was told that his son and daughter-in-law had died, but he had never believed it until it has proven.

“Mr. Steve, the little girl in the video…” Janice paused. At first, she thought it was just a misconception. When the small girl blinked her eyes, Didn’t she resemble Madam when she was young?

“I will pay Imperia a visit when I have sorted out my things.”

Steve had not returned to Imperia in more than a decade. He wasn’t sure if anything had changed there.

“Mr. Steve, could you make a long-distance trip?”

“This ‘damn old man’ just has to live longer.” Steve stood firm in his decision.

“I think Annalise must be upset by someone, or she would not say such words.” Janice knew Annalise had given so much in caring for Steve for years.

He would never have believed that these words came from Annalise.

“Stop her with the credit card. Have Rowan teach her.” Steve frowned, and Janice stopped the issue and left the room quietly.

At Sunshine Villa.

Rowan rushed back when he received a call from Williams. He was puzzled to see Annalise wrapped up like a “mummy.”

He had watched the clip from the video his younger brother had sent. The clip showed Annalise shouting for “damn old man” and holding a glass bottle ready to bash Mackenzie’s head.

“I’m sorry, Uncle Rowan.” Mackenzie apologizes while sniffling.

Rowan touched Mackenzie’s cheek and said softly, “It’s not because of you. You don’t have to apologize.”

“I wouldn’t have stayed here and caused so much trouble if I’d known Auntie hated me so much.” Her diamond-like tears fell.

“Mackenzie, she didn’t hate you. She just has a fever. Rowan thought “fever” best suited Annalise’s change.

Maybe she was insane for saying such silly words.

“Zeke, your beloved brother is coming to take you home!” Thomas ran in and pulled Mackenzie out of Rowan’s arms.

“Do you have a problem with you? Why are you making Mackenzie cry?” Thomas gave Rowan a stern look.

“Um, it wasn’t me.” Rowan shook his head awkwardly.

“Please behave, Thomas,” Mackenzie said sincerely, patting Thomas on the back. But her gesture made Thomas completely uncomfortable.

“Let’s go home, Zeke. I’m so hungry. I want to eat the pancake Daddy made.” Thomas had done a great job, and no one would have cared about what Mackenzie would do next.

“Uncle Rowan, I don’t want to bother you any further. I will ask Mommy to bring you something as a token of apology.”

“There’s no need. I am fine.” The doubt in Rowan’s heart faded when he saw that Mackenzie was obedient.

The bodyguard had thought Mackenzie had been upset in the earlier incident. He explained everything to Rowan, including what Annalise had done.

Rowan was so frustrated that he wanted to go straight to the hospital and pull Annalised out to punch her.

But fortunately, he was stopped by Madeline. Otherwise, a disaster would have been inevitable between the Solace family and the Quincy family.

“Have you done it on your side?” Mackenzie stared at Thomas.

Thomas, who had been leaning on the couch, immediately jumped up. “Do not worry, Mackenzie.”

They had made plans together this morning to have Suzette Grant taste some colors.

Amid the road, they read a few hacked messages on Madeline’s cell phone. That was the reason they turned to Suzette Grant and Annalise Solace.

Suzette was well protected at Joseph’s place. Thomas had some difficult attempts before he could get in. Next, he hacked Brian’s cell phone and sent him a message asking Suzette out.

He also sent a message asking Suzette to go to Joseph’s study. When she left the room, Thomas stole a document related to Hann Corporation.

When Joseph later found out that only Suzette had entered his study, he was sure that Suzette had done it with a wrongful intention.

Suzette had tried so hard to help Joseph challenge Noah and Madeline. But now that trust was over because of what Thomas had done.

When Joseph removed protection for Suzette, she was immediately taken away by Noah’s men as she stepped out the door.
