Chapter 17

She was more than aware of the flow of the Grant family's liquid assets!

400 million was not a small sum. Even if it were to be collected within the day, it would

have to be through shady means.

That was why she brought up the Quincy family to attempt to convince Bruno.

"Can you really persuade Noah to marry you with the Global Ambassador title? I've seen

the way he treats you throughout the years. That's wishful thinking on your part. You

forget a life still stands in between the Grant and Quincy family!"

Bruno saw through all of it. The one who caused the death of Gordon Quincy and betrayed

Noah was someone from the Grant household!

Noah showed the Grants mercy for Angie's sake but having them tie the knot again

wouldn't be easy!

Angie complained, "Don't you have any faith in my charms, Dad? I've done so much

charity in Mr. Gordon's name. Noah might be a block of ice but he'd have to look my way

at some point. I'll definitely be a lady of the Quincy family!"

"Why don't you ask Noah for the 400 million then? 400 million is a mere pocket change for

them! Does he think it's beneath his dignity?"

"Dad, these are critical times! How can I ask him?! What will he think of us if he finds out

we don't even have 400 million?! I don't want a marriage with no dignity. Besides, he can't

find out about the charity committee or the persona I've worked so hard to create will be

for nothing!"

"No! You can tell me that the world is ending tomorrow and the answer will still be no!"

That was because he did not have that much!

After Bruno made his decision, he stopped paying attention to Angie and went upstairs.

Angie was furious. Feelings of grief and indignation rushed over her.

What am I supposed to do now? Dad won't help me. How on earth am I going to get 400

million?!

Time was ticking. Was this how her life was going to end?

Angie was overwhelmed. Her wrath did not abate even after smashing everything she

could in the living room.

Suzette was disappointed when she came back downstairs to be greeted by the wreck.

"What's the use of losing your temper? Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"

"You're still making sarcastic remarks, Mom?! If I don't get that title, how am I supposed to

marry into the Quincy family? I'd rather die than lose my chance!"

"Nonsense. You speak of death so lightly. My daughter is the cream of the crop. She has to

marry well. Here's the key to the public account. Take it and do what you will with it."

"Huh…? Dad gave you the key?"

"I took it in secret. Don't let your father find out. The company has been financially stable

recently. It shouldn't be a problem for half a month. But Angie, are you certain you can

marry Noah within that time?"

"I do. My grand wedding won't be far off once I get that title. Thank you, Mom!" Angie

boasted and hugged her mother.

"Good. My daughter is as ambitious as I am. Only my baby daughter is worthy of being the

lady of the Quincy family! If it hadn't been for that b*tch, Madeline, we wouldn't be here

now! By the way, has that little bastard in the Quincy household been dealt with?"

"He's lucky. I don't know how he came back intact and capable of speech! But it's odd. We

were lucky he didn't start spouting nonsense at Noah. We'd be in trouble otherwise!"

"Deal with him fast. The life of a stepmother is not a good one."

"Yes, Mother!"

Angie gritted her teeth and had the 400 million transferred over to Madeline

She was racked with agony when she finally tapped on the transfer button.

If she hadn't found out what that woman was aiming for, she wouldn't have willingly given

away the 400 million!

Time was running out. If she doesn't fulfill her promise, that b*tch might keep threatening

her!

The 400 million is only to stall that woman. There's no way I'm giving up here!

That woman is clearly targeting me and is well-prepared. I have to look into her and not

allow her to keep stringing me along!

She clutched her phone tightly in her hand. So what if she spent 400 million? She was

going to make that woman spit it back out a thousandfold!

When I'm done with her, she can forget about seeing another day!

What's more, she was on the highway to becoming a lady of the Quincy family if

everything went according to her plan. She would have all the money to spend!

That woman wouldn't be able to leave Imperia under her watchful eye.

That was when Ronald Klish came to report to her, "There's been news from the Quincy

residence, Ms. Angie. They say Colton has gone missing."

"That brat Colton has gone missing again?" Angie's tone was filled with undisguised

excitement as she spoke. She raised a brow to glance at her mother. Both were extremely

surprised!

This was perfect. It seemed even the heavens were lending her a hand!

Angie had been trying to make contact with Noah many times since their last visit to the

cemetery, but he'd been lukewarm to her approach. She had been worried about how to

ease the tension between them, but now the opportunity came knocking!

"Yes, according to our men, he's been gone for two or three hours. They've searched all

over the mansion but he's nowhere to be found."

"How nice of him to disappear on his own accord. It's a good thing if that little brat never

returns! What of Noah?"

"Mr. Quincy is said to have gone to a residence in Westview on his way back. It's unclear

what for."

"Go find out. The Grant's lives are on the line. Nothing can go wrong!"

"Yes, Ms. Angie."

Angie made a decisive decision, washed up, and left for the Quincy home.

She had to seize the opportunity to do what had to be done while that bastard child was

gone!

This was all because of that woman!

She no longer had time to wait around!

She had to marry into the Quincy family right away to avoid the problems that came with

the delay.

She idled in the car for a while and waited until word came from her men at the mansion

that Noah would be back soon. She took an umbrella and got out of the car.

It was raining so hard that the umbrella didn't work at all. Angie got wet as soon as she

got out of the car.

Her soft, long skirt was instantly soaked. The rain beating on her face made her look

pitiful.

"The rain is far too heavy, Ms. Angie. Allow me to escort you in!"

Ronald was worried for Angie who stood in the rain. He immediately got out of the car

without an umbrella of his own but she mercilessly stared him down.

Noah's vehicle rolled up when Angie arrived in front of the mansion.

Angie turned around, stumbled, and fell to the ground. Her umbrella was unceremoniously

sent flying by the wind.
