Chapter 177
After hearing Suzette's words, Joseph turned around. His gentle and pale face suddenly became a little
gloomy. He said, "So, you knew that the secrets you sent back then were fake, but you kept it secret!
You caused my dad to fail miserably. Suzette Grant, how dare you do that!"
Joseph pulled out a hidden sharp knife from his cane and put it on Suzette's neck. A wound instantly
appeared on her imperfect skin. Suzette was terrified to the extreme. She shouted, "Don't kill me! I-I
didn't know those secrets were fake back then. I found some clues after I thought about it, but when I
found them out, it had been after a long time. Your dad had already emigrated abroad. I didn't dare to
mention it casually..."
Seeing Joseph stop the sharp blade, Suzette continued to speak boldly. She looked aggrieved as if she
was a victim.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Joseph sneered. He was unmoved even though Suzette pretended to
be pitiful.
"Believe it or not, you can't slander my loyalty to your dad!" Suzette said with a firm attitude. She made
people feel a little convinced when she swore to Joseph.
"Fine. If you tell me who was behind the scene back then, I'll consider saving you out of hell. I advise
you to tell the truth. After all, it doesn't feel good to step into hell, right?"
"I have put all the clues I found in the bank. If you save my life, I'll give them to you. I guarantee that
there's something useful to you!"
"Hmm, you're smart." Joseph praised. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to enter the
room.
"Sorry for being rude. I'm dying now. I just want to live," Suzette said respectfully.
"Send her to the research center," Joseph ordered Fred.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes." Fred nodded. Then, he immediately arranged for someone to carry Suzette out. After the people
left, Fred continued to speak.
"Sir, this woman is full of lies. Why do you believe her?"
"At least she has said something right. We can cooperate when we have the same enemy. After all,
she has hatred. She will play her role sooner or later." Joseph picked up his cane and walked out of the
iron prison while speaking.
"But what happened back then might have something to do with Suzette and Angie. We cannot be sure
whether Suzette is an enemy or a partner." Fred was anxious. He did not want to see Joseph deceived
by Suzette. So, Fred boldly expressed his doubts.
"Are you questioning me?"
"I dare not. I just think that back then..."
"About what happened back then, Dad will make the decisions. Dad has given me the order to keep
Suzette and Angie's lives. Dad still needs them. So, save their lives first. We can discuss other things
later."
"Yes." Seeing that Joseph was getting annoyed, Fred subconsciously stopped talking.
Joseph walked up the stone steps and returned to the study on the top floor. Then, he sat in front of the
computer and turned it on. Immediately afterward, a picture of a smiling woman appeared on the
computer screen. Looking at the woman on the screen, Joseph showed a wanton smile.
"Madeline, we will meet soon."
...
At Maple Forest Villa.
After a heavy rain, there was a rare tranquility at night. And after watching Madeline eat the pancake,
Noah was supervised by Madeline for rest. He obediently lay on the bed.
Noah was surprised by her sudden concern for him. At the same time, he was also suspicious whether
that stupid Dylan exposed his injury while treating Madeline's wound. Otherwise, how could Madeline
treat him so well all of a sudden?
She said she never wanted to see me again when she was in the pit. How about now? She supervised
me taking a shower and going to bed. She even thoughtfully covered me with a quilt.
Noah felt uneasy with Madeline's warm concern. He even wondered, Is this the calm before the storm?
Does she want to run with her children overnight? However, when Wayne, who was staying outside,
reported that Madeline and the children were asleep, Noah realized he had guessed wrong. He
hesitated for a long time and took out the phone.
Noah sent Dylan a message, "Dylan, are you asleep?"
Dylan had received and read Noah's message, but he ignored it. He wanted to focus on the gaming
world.
Noah wrote again, "I saw you're online in the game. Are you ignoring me on purpose?"
Dylan replied, "I'm not Dylan."
Noah sent, "Okay, that's fine. I just want to ask Dylan to bandage my wound again."
Dylan immediately answered, "What?! What happened? I just bandaged your wound this afternoon.
What have you done? I..."
Dylan was startled when he saw Noah's third message. Without thinking about it, Dylan directly replied
to Noah with a voice message. But soon, he realized that he had accidentally exposed his identity.
Noah wrote, "Are you Dylan now?"
Dylan was speechless. Noah was not sly like this before. Who taught him to lie? Oh my God, I almost
got five kills just now!
Now Dylan had no choice but to explain to his teammates. He not only quit the team, but he also
needed to hang up the game. Therefore, Dylan picked up his phone and turned on the voice
conversion function. He entered a line, "Sorry guys, my wife is about to give birth. I have to accompany
her. Bye!"
Without waiting for his teammates' reactions, Dylan reluctantly logged out of the game and switched to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Instagram interface.
Dylan wrote, "Noah, it's late at night. You are a patient. Why don't you go to sleep? What do you want
from me?" Dylan sat on the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt. He started chatting with Noah seriously.
"You didn't go to sleep either."
"Isn't it normal that I didn't sleep? After all, I wasn't injured. Please be careful and pay attention to your
injury! Otherwise, it may affect your waist in the future."
"My waist is fine," Noah replied seriously.
Dylan was amused when he saw Noah's reply. This guy really cares about his waist. He's too funny!
"I don't care if your waist is alright, but Maddie probably does. So, take care of yourself, and don't move
around, okay?" Dylan took the opportunity and tried to make Noah heal his injuries obediently.
Noah had a fever, but he still made pancakes for Maddie. Although I was a little unhappy that he didn't
make it for me after I treated him, I could see that he cared about Maddie. If I tell him that Maddie
worries about him, he may be obedient during the treatments.
"Did you tell Madeline about my injury? Madeline cared about me just because she worried about my
waist?"
"Huh?" Dylan was confused. He did not understand what Noah meant.
"Noah, I didn't say anything to Maddie. It's too obvious that you're injured. You can't blame me! Noah?
Are you still here? Are you angry? You have become more and more stingy recently. You were not like
this before!"
Dylan was chanting in the dialog box, but Noah only read without reply. Half an hour later, Dylan was
about to fall asleep while lying on the bed with his phone. Suddenly, he heard the message notification
tone. He quickly clicked on the phone screen.
Noah wrote, "Madeline came to sleep with me. Don't send me any more messages. You may wake her
up."
Dylan answered, "Please don't show affection to me."
But Noah did not reply to Dylan anymore. He had turned on do not disturb mode.
