Aggressive Wife

Chapter 57

Noah hadn't held back his strength, leaving Angie falling back to the floor looking more wretched than ever.

"Get this woman out of my sight. She is not to set foot in this residence ever again."

Wayne stepped forward with his bodyguards to grab her under Noah's orders.

She suddenly broke free from her restraints with a surprising show of strength and latched onto Noah's leg.

"Please, Noah. Please don't treat me this way. I… Colt scared me. It was a mistake…"

"He's a child. What part of him scares you? You, on the other hand, picked on him back when he couldn't speak. How much did you make him suffer? You disgust me!"

Wayne didn't hesitate any longer when he noticed the murderous look in Noah's eyes and grabbed Angie.

"You should leave, Ms. Angie!" Wayne spoke and covered her mouth before hauling her out by her collar.

The living room quieted down. Noah picked Thomas back into his arms and strode upstairs.

He felt guilty. He couldn't calm down even with the child in his hold.

……

Meanwhile, outside the Quincy residence.

Angie was haphazardly thrown out the gates with her arms bruised in multiple places. She looked like a mess.

She sat paralyzed on the ground as she trembled.

How could this have happened?

It was supposed to be her perfect night. Everyone was now in shambles because of that brat!

Why didn't he die on that mountain?!

She hated him with a burning passion!

She cried for a while before finally getting up and walking away.

A car with a stealth cloak was parked a stone's throw away from the front gates. Someone had recorded the entire scene and had only just hit the pause button.

Madeline Grant stretched, hit the screenshot button a few times, and pressed the save button.

She had been worried that Angie would foil Thomas' plan when she left her home that night. That was why she drove to the neighborhood and hacked into the Quincy household's surveillance system to check on him.

She could act at any time if he were ever in danger.

Her fears proved superfluous. She watched everything that went down inside and approved of her brat's methods.

My demon child has improved his acting ability!

Who knew where his knack for acting came from?

Madeline's heart fell. She was ready to go.

Before she could even start the car, the front gates opened.

She thought her high-tech cloak had been hacked!

What she saw instead was Angie being thrown out like a stray dog!

That was why she decided to film a mockumentary for Angie!

Seeing that Angie had left, Madeline started the car and then turned into the driveway a distance away.

It was only when she was about to pass Angie that she slowed down and removed the stealth cloaking function.

Angie was overjoyed to hear the car behind her. She immediately assumed that it was Noah who felt bad for her.

Excitedly, she turned her head, only to see a car speeding her way.

She rushed off the road in her panic and accidentally fell right into the gutter.

With a resounding plop, she found herself submerged in a puddle of foul-smelling water. She thought she was going to die and was desperately struggling, only to discover moments later that it was merely a shallow pool.

Unfortunately, it was full of sewage water. She was now covered in black mud and reeked! The stench was so overpowering she nearly vomited!

"You a**hole! Are you blind?!" She cursed angrily at the road.

The road had fallen silent with no car in sight.

She felt a shiver run down her spine as she scanned the dark ditch around her.

Didn't a car just pass by here?

No matter how fast the car was, it wouldn't just disappear without a trace. This was a long stretch of road…

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she got.

She didn't care to retrieve her shoes. She was off the moment she climbed back onto dry land.

Madeline had driven by to scare Angie. She hadn't expected her to be so agile as to jump right into the ditch.

Sure enough, human potential knew no limits! No one could've expected her to do that if she weren't forced.

Madeline felt so much better after seeing the ill-fated Angie through her rearview mirror.

Lighting flashed in the sky, followed by the boom of thunder. The heavy downpour was here.

Madeline sped up and quickly disappeared into the night.

……

After Noah comforted Thomas, he went back to the study instead of resting.

Wayne was already waiting inside.

"Sir, this is the surveillance footage outside the residence. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need." He didn't think there was anything to see when it came to Angie.

"But, sir. Something odd happened outside a moment ago."

Wayne didn't seem to know how to explain it. It was bizarre!

He simply showed it to Noah and then cut to the scene where Angie was nearly hit by a speeding car.

Noah's dark eyes narrowed. His finely sculpted visage took on a layer of frost. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Someone was lurking outside the mansion waiting to kill Angie?

No, not kill. It seemed more like a taunt upon closer inspection!

"What's going on with that car? Did you manage to find anything out?"

"We don't know what methods the car used to stay invisible. Our surveillance footage only managed to catch this much. There's no license plate to be seen!"

"Do you think they might be Ms. Angie's enemy? Should I investigate further?" Wayne boldly inquired.

This car had been lurking near the residence for an unknown period without doing anything. It only made itself known when Angie was tossed out.

It was a bit of a stretch to say it was a simple coincidence.

That was why Wayne assumed that they were here for Angie!

"No need. They don't seem to bear ill will toward us."

Noah simply concluded.

Wayne seemed to have more to say but Noah simply waved him out.

He was now the only one left in the study.

He pulled up the footage again and replayed it.

It was slowed this time. When the back of the car came into view, he immediately hit the pause button.

He zoomed in on the picture to analyze it. Sure enough, there was a lightning-shaped scratch on the right side of the car's rear.

The scratches weren't significant, but it was exactly where he remembered it would be.

It was Madeline Grant's car.

The reason he remembered it was because the car was parked at the entrance when he went up to Maple Forest Villa last night. He happened to see it.

When Wayne brought up the possibility of Angie's enemy, Noah immediately remembered Madeline.

It was her!
