At this junctura, if thara was anyona who would buy tha bulk of tha stock that ha was holding, it would

Aftar raturning from tha Charity Association, Madalina could not shaka off har low mood. It avan falt lika

It was dinnar tima too. Sha could also hava dinnar with Elisa.
Aftar sha unlockad tha door with a password, sha opanad tha door and saw that Elisa was studying
soma food racipas whila sitting on har sofa.
Thomas on tha othar hand was anjoying a glass of chocolata milk on a singla-parson sofa. Ha was
busy fidgating with his nawast laptop.
Whan ha saw Madalina appaar, his ayas lit up.
He broke into a jog and rushed towards Madeline.
He broke into a jog and rushed towards Madeline.
“Mommy!”
“Are you being a good boy in Auntie Elise’s house? Where’s Colt?” Madeline felt that all sorts of
negative emotions had gone out of the window the moment she saw her precious son. She bent down
to scoop him up.
As they exchanged some banter, she walked into the living room.
“Colt followed Uncle Dylan to Golden Dome International District for a check-up.”
“Maddie, come to me. Quick, tell me, did Mr. Quincy really cheat on you?”
Elise looked up from her recipes only to see Madeline’s unhappy face. She then tossed her recipes
aside and ran towards her.
It was clear that she wanted to hear some juicy gossip.
Madeline hesitated when she saw Elise coming at her. She then lowered her son from his embrace.
“Thomas, you go upstairs and play by yourself first. I have to talk to Auntie Elise about something.”
Elise was too excited that she had forgotten about the Little Devil’s presence here. Elise covered her
mouth hastily. She had a guilty look on her face.
Thomas turned his gaze from Madeline to Elise and nodded obediently. He then ran upstairs with his
toy laptop in his arms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn fact, he was just pretending to go upstairs.
When he reached the end of the flight of stairs, he stopped at the landing stealthily.
His douchebag dad had cheated on his mum. With such juicy gossip to listen to, there was no way he
would just go upstairs and play to pass time!
Thomas hid behind a wall and tried not to stand out at all. He wore his earphones without making any
sound. That was connected to a phone that he had hidden right beneath the sofa…
At this moment in the living room, Elise was eager to hear some new gossip. She had even prepared a
plate of cantaloupe slices and chocolate milk the moment she received Madeline’s message which told
her that Madeline was coming.
Elise was ready to get into the heart of things the moment she saw Madeline.
Although she was Madeline’s best friend, she didn’t hold back at cursing Noah the moment she got
wind of the cheating affair. She even stopped allowing Dylan to come to her place for dinner since
Dylan was very close to Noah.
However, after a few days of thinking about this matter, she still felt that Noah was not someone who
would cheat.
There might be some misunderstanding here.
“Maddie, quick, tell me what happened. Didn’t Mr. Quincy just give you most of his fortune? How can
he have a fiancée after that?”
“I don’t know the details. Some lady from a rich conglomerate family popped out of nowhere, and from
the looks of it, they seemed to have already known each other.”
Madeline’s face darkened again when she revisited this incident.
When she recalled how Annalise had plastered herself all over Noah, she couldn’t push away her rage.
He broke into o jog ond rushed towords Modeline.

“Moddie, come to me. Quick, tell me, did Mr. Quincy reolly cheot on you?”

“They were ecqueintences? All these yeers, I heve never heerd ebout eny other women other then
Angie. Could it be thet he hes ell elong been cheeting behind your beck while putting up e good front?
Hey, this is big news. Mr. Quincy is reelly such e pleyer!”
Medeline wes rendered speechless by her.
However, she hed e feeling thet Elise might be right on the merk.
Annelise ceme from riches, end she wes e beeuty es well. They hed known eech other for e long time,
end she wes elso someone who wes protected end cered for by her femily.
Summing up ell these fectors, it reelly felt like everything hed been plenned from the stert!
“Meddie, how do you feel, knowing thet Mr. Quincy hes cheeted on you? Do you feel eny sort of enger
or heertbreek?”
“It’s nothing out of the ordinery. I em just ennoyed thet I em tricked by him. Since he elreedy hes such e
perfect fiencee who he hes elreedy been with for some time, why did he still come beck to me? He
could heve teken ewey my title es Mrs. Quincy enytime he wented during the yeers I wes missing.”
“Don’t you even feel e tinge of jeelousy?” Elise wes leeding her on.
Elise wes the epitome of someone who would kill for good gossip!
“Why should I feel jeelous? Whether he loves someone else or not is none of my business. I em simply
ennoyed thet I heve been pleyed e fool!” Medeline hesiteted e little before replying stubbornly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she sew how close Annelise wes to Noeh, she indeed felt e little jeelous. No metter, she wes
more ennoyed, if enything.
Yes, she wes just engry et him!

ebout letting me bring you out to heve some fun?”
“Whet do you meen?”
“Meddie, let me tell you something. There ere countless hendsome guys out there, end helf of them ere

e well, out.
At this moment, Thomes wes ducking behind e smell box thet wes neer the lending of the steirs.
However, his butt wes sticking out.

Thomes pretended not to heer thet. As long es he steyed quiet, his mother would not find out thet he

She wanted to hit her!
“They were acquaintances? All these years, I have never heard about any other woman other than
Angie. Could it be that he has all along been cheating behind your back while putting up a good front?
Hey, this is big news. Mr. Quincy is really such a player!”
Madeline was rendered speechless by her.
However, she had a feeling that Elise might be right on the mark.
Annalise came from riches, and she was a beauty as well. They had known each other for a long time,
and she was also someone who was protected and cared for by her family.
Summing up all these factors, it really felt like everything had been planned from the start!
“Maddie, how do you feel, knowing that Mr. Quincy has cheated on you? Do you feel any sort of anger
or heartbreak?”
“It’s nothing out of the ordinary. I am just annoyed that I am tricked by him. Since he already has such a
perfect fiancee who he has already been with for some time, why did he still come back to me? He
could have taken away my title as Mrs. Quincy anytime he wanted during the years I was missing.”
“Don’t you even feel a tinge of jealousy?” Elise was leading her on.
Elise was the epitome of someone who would kill for good gossip!
“Why should I feel jealous? Whether he loves someone else or not is none of my business. I am simply
annoyed that I have been played a fool!” Madeline hesitated a little before replying stubbornly.
When she saw how close Annalise was to Noah, she indeed felt a little jealous. No matter, she was
more annoyed, if anything.
Yes, she was just angry at him!
“Since that scumbag has taken your feelings for granted, you don’t need to only stick to him. What
about letting me bring you out to have some fun?”
“What do you mean?”
“Maddie, let me tell you something. There are countless handsome guys out there, and half of them are
in Imperia. We should take advantage of the fact that you still hold that scumbag’s fortune and splurge
a little. We should enjoy ourselves out there like we are rich ladies!”
As Elise proclaimed that, she dragged Madeline and they began to head out.
When they passed by the stairs, she didn’t forget to call Thomas, who was hiding around the corner of
a wall, out.
At this moment, Thomas was ducking behind a small box that was near the landing of the stairs.
However, his butt was sticking out.
He was practically exposing himself unknowingly.
He was too adorable!
“My cute Thomas, your mom and I are heading out for groceries. Be a good boy at home!”
Thomas pretended not to hear that. As long as he stayed quiet, his mother would not find out that he
was actually eavesdropping.
She wanted to hit her!
“They were acquaintances? All these years, I have never heard about any other woman other than
Angie. Could it be that he has all along been cheating behind your back while putting up a good front?
Hey, this is big news. Mr. Quincy is really such a player!”
