Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Holding back the fury, he dialed the number that was sent alongside the videos.

The call was quickly connected.

Lone Wolf’s voice, bearing a tinge of thrill, came on the other end of the line.

“Long time no see, Mr. Quincy. Did you miss me?”

“Lone Wolf.” Noah had a feeling that Lone Wolf’s men must be involved the moment he

laid eyes on the encrypted phone number. To his surprise, it was Lone Wolf himself behind

the whole thing.

“You should know that you won’t leave Imperia alive if anything happens to Madeline.”

Clutching onto his phone, Noah spoke icily.

“Don’t be mad, Mr. Quincy. The pretty lady will live for another six hours. There’s no need

to get your panties in a bunch.”

“What do you want?”

“Are you going to give me whatever I want?”

“So long as you’re alive to take it.”

“Gee, we’re old friends. Why so serious? You’re making me scared. I might not have a

good grip on the steering wheel when I’m scared, and it would put the person in the

vehicle in danger…”

“Oh, really? If the person in the vehicle is in danger, things will not end well for you and

your brother who’s lying in the lab too. We got leverage, so cut the bullcr*p and get

straight to the point.”

Noah smirked. His tone reflected bloodthirstiness.

At the same time, he sent an order out to Wayne with his backup phone.

Noah acquired useful information from Lone Wolf’s words. Madeline was likely to be a

freezer unit of a moving truck.

He must get to her as soon as possible.

“In that case, I should cut to the chase. I want all the shares you have of Quinton

Corporation.”

“Oh? I thought you were more interested in saving your brother’s life.”

Noah was not surprised by Lone Wolf’s demand.

It was not hard for Lone Wolf to rescue Lone Fox out of Golden Dome International District

anyway.

For Lone Wolf to handle the job himself, he must be after something huge.

“You and I know that he doesn’t have long to live.”

Lone Wolf’s tone turned flat.

“Ha! You’re indeed the best killer in the world. You’re ruthless! I wonder who gave you an

offer you couldn’t refuse to disregard your brother’s life and take the shares in my

possession.”

“Don’t try to bait me, Mr. Quincy. I’m a man of work ethic. I want the money and power,

plus the babe. Have you thought it through, Mr. Quincy?”

“I agree to your terms, but we need to do the exchange face-to-face. I don’t mind having

Lone Fox jump off the building for entertainment if you try anything smart.”

“Well, well, well. You’re quite the lover boy, aren’t you? Have the papers for equity transfer

ready in an hour, and I’ll send you the address.”

“Sure, but I need you to do something for me.”

…

Trapped in a freezer, Madeline was trying to move her numb fingers to fiddle with her plain

ring.

There was a less than 0.05-carat diamond lodged inside her ring. She attempted to pry the

diamond out. Alas, her fingers would not do her bidding.

Madeline blew into her frozen hands before patiently giving it another go. With the

diamond nearly removed, the truck took a sharp turn. The momentum threw her to an ice

block.

It was a good thing she managed to put her stiff arms over her head to protect her from

the crash.

Madeline leaned against the wall for a breather. Once the car returned to a steady cruise,

she continued digging the diamond out.

Nevertheless, the vehicle made another sudden swerve when she pulled the ring out to

see under the dim light in the compartment.

The vehicle was violently shaking at this point. Madeline stuck herself to the side of the

truck for a long time before finding her balance once more.

Before she could secure a firm footing, it was a violent shake in the vehicle again.

It was then Madeline realized that it was not a simple turn.

If her guess was right, there was someone on the truck’s tail.

Albert must have seen the signal she left behind for him.

Madeline thought to herself with hope. With her back against the vehicle, she shifted her

center of gravity in a half-squatting position while rubbing her palms together to warm her

fingers. She then positioned her fingernails close to the rock and pried it off the ring using

the shaking force of the truck.

The tiny diamond fell off the ring and dropped onto the icy surface of the storage unit.

Madeline picked the diamond up, wedged it in the cavity of the ring, and gave it a good

press.

It unlocked the mechanism. Madeline wore the ring on her finger and placed the back of

her hand against the door of the compartment.

There was a 0.5cm magnet in the ring.

Albert had altered the magnet in the lab. The tiny magnet would increase the magnetic

force by a hundred-fold when attached to metal properties.

The invention was designed to climb on metal structures, but it came in handy right now.

Although Madeline was surrounded by four walls of a freezer compartment, the outer layer

of the vehicle was made of metal.

It was the perfect environment to use the magnet.

Madeline placed the ring against the door of the truck, turning the door into a huge

magnet.

She soon heard the screeching noise of brakes, and a collision ensued.
