Chapter 101
Insufficient balance? That’s impossible.
Angie returned to the page that shows the balance, and the amount shown was 28 cents.
Angie was furious when she saw the number.
She wondered if Jerry was joking with her.
“Get up, Jerry. I said, get up!” Angie pulled Jerry up. She wanted him to give her an
explanation.
Jerry was fast asleep. He hated it when people disturb him, so he slapped Angie. “Get lost!
Don’t disturb my sleep!”
Angie was pissed off. She tried to search Jerry’s phone to see if he had other bank
accounts. However, Jerry had nothing else apart from a credit card. He was poor. Angie
figured she probably had to pay the designated driver too. She was so mad that she threw
the phone at Jerry and left.
It was cold in Imperia. Angie started shivering from the cold after walking a few steps
because of the thin clothes she was wearing.
As she was hesitating about whether to return, a silver van stopped in front of her. Before
she could scold the driver, two men came down and dragged her into the van.
“Who are you? Let go!”
Angie was shocked. Her question was unanswered. She only got a drugged handkerchief
covering her face instead. Soon, Angie passed out.
When Madeline and Albert received Angie’s location and caught up to her, they saw her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeing taken away. They wanted to talk it out with Angie. Unfortunately, their plan had to
be postponed.
“Ms. Madeline, there aren’t many of them. I’m confident in rescuing Angie. Should I…”
“No. Find out who they are. Angie has many enemies. Just keep a close eye on her and
make sure they don’t kill him.”
“Yes. Ms. Madeline," Albert replied and made the phone call to pass down Madeline’s
order.
Madeline looked out the car window and saw someone selling cotton candy. If she could
not catch Angie, she figured buying some for Colt and Thomas would be great.
Madeline gave Albert a sign and stepped out of the car. After she paid for the cotton
candy, someone snatched one away from him. While she wondered why someone would
steal cotton candy, she turned around and saw Noah. He immediately took a bite of the
cotton candy that he snatched from Madeline.
“Noah?”
“Hello, Ms. Madeline!” Noah looked at Madeline and smiled.
Madeline felt disgusted looking at Noah.
“Are you drunk?” Madeline asked. His face was flushed red, and she wondered if there was
something wrong with him. She was worried that Noah might have a fever, so she
instinctively used her hand to touch his forehead. Thankfully, it seemed like Noah was only
drunk.
Madeline wondered why Noah was alone and where Wayne was. She even looked around
for Wayne.
The drunk Noah was very obedient. He allowed Madeline to touch his forehead and held
her hand without letting go like a little child. His actions reminded Madeline of Thomas
who did the same thing when he was worried about her health back at home.
However, Thomas was only five and this person was almost in his thirties.
“Ms. Madeline. I’m feeling a little sleepy. Can you take me back home?”
Madeline looked at the cotton candy in her hand and regretted coming out of the car.
However, she could not just abandon Noah. She had no choice but to bring Noah inside
the car. She put him in the backseat and returned to the passenger seat. Then, she started
scrolling through her contacts on her phone.
She remembered that she had Wayne’s number, but she could not find it. In the end, she
could only call Dylan. However, no one answered.
“Ms. Madeline. It’s late now. Why don’t we take Mr. Quincy back to Maple Forest Villa for
now?”
“There’s no choice.” Madeline gave up. She turned around and looked at Noah.
Noah was eating the cotton candy. When he realized Madeline was looking at him, he gave
her a pure and embarrassed smile.
Noah was attractive when he smiled. However, he always had a frown when Madeline was
around him. He had been ice-cold and arrogant. No one dared to offend him.
Madeline felt Noah was pretty cute when she thought about that.
She wondered if he would knock his head against a wall if he realized how childish he was
when he was drunk. Madeline was curious, so she recorded a video of Noah. Her mood
was good when she saw how cute Noah was in the video she recorded.
They arrived at Maple Forest Villa.
Noah finished his cotton candy and stared at the other one in Madeline’s hand after they

Madeline felt sorry for him and comforted him, “It’s too late now. You shouldn’t eat too
many sweets. We'll save this one for tomorrow, alright?”
Noah pouted like a child. For a moment, Madeline even thought she had another son.
Noah sat on the sofa unhappily and ignored Madeline.
Madeline looked at him and went to heat up two glasses of chocolate milk. She sat beside
him and gave him a glass.
“You can’t have any more cotton candy, but you can drink chocolate milk. Cheers!”
Madeline was focused on coaxing Noah. Noah took the glass and started drinking happily.
When she saw Noah’s mood improve, Madeline felt relieved.
“You're injured. Why did you drink so much? Why can’t you take care of yourself?”
Noah drank his chocolate milk without saying anything.
“Oh, how is your wound? Can you show me?”
Noah nodded obediently.
“Good boy!” Madeline said while patting his head. It didn't feel as good as Thomas’ head
because his hair was coarse.
With Noah’s approval, Madeline carefully removed his shirt to check on his wounds.
She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that those wounds are still closed without
any signs of infection.
Madeline put Noah on the sofa in her own bedroom after he finished drinking his milk.
She wanted him to sleep downstairs, but she was worried that he might wake up in the
night and run around. So, she decided to put up with him for a night.
Ten minutes later, Madeline made Noah’s sofa bed and got him to lie down. Then, she
went to wash up.
Suddenly, Noah’s phone lit up in his pocket.
It was a text from Dylan. It said, “Noah, how’s the progress? Did Madeline fall for it?”
