Chapter 196

Madeline navigated through the crowd with her phone in hand. However, it felt as though she had not

moved from her location. She was not getting any closer to Noah.

While feeling frustrated, she bumped into a wall of muscles.

With her hand over her sore forehead, Madeline picked her head up.

She was dumbstruck.

It was Joseph.

He wore a casual white blazer paired with a deep V-neck silk shirt.

The combination of sultry and grace came together nicely with Joseph.

Madeline believed the guy made quite the eye candy so long as he did not speak.

Alas, the hottie would have been a total package if it were not for his snide remarks.

“Fancy running into you here, Maddie. You’re all dressed up. Are you here to see me?”

“You must be dreaming.” Madeline offhandedly commented. She then walked past him.

Joseph reached out and grabbed her by the arm as she brushed past him.

“Maddie, don’t be in a hurry to leave. I know you’re here for Noah. Why don’t I take you to him?”

With Madeline putting up a fight, Joseph patiently cut the distance between them and whispered in her

ear.

Madeline was confused that he saw through her intentions.

“Oh? I didn’t know that you have the habit of keeping tabs on others, Jo.”

“Likewise, Maddie.”

“Why do you know Noah is here? Did you invite him here?”

It suddenly came to Madeline as she was staring at Joseph.

There was someone Joseph had to see even when his house was on fire. It made sense if the person

was Noah.

“Do you know, Maddie? I love that you catch on quickly. Come on. I’ll take you to him.” Joseph took

Maddie’s hand to move along, but the latter shook his arm away.

“Let go. I’m fine to walk on my own.”

“Alright. You’re the boss, Maddie.” No longer insisting, Joseph led the way together with Fred.

The stairwell to the second floor was rather hidden. Madeline would not have noticed without Joseph

showing the way.

No wonder she ended up going round in circles.

She was not on the right floor.

With Madeline keeping up in the back, Joseph smiled in delight and took strides upstairs.

Madeline observed the GPS location on her phone to make sure she was in the right direction before

following behind.

Once on the second floor, the horseplay of women echoed along the hallway.

“Are you only taking a sip, Mr. Quincy? I’m sure you can have more for little old me.”

“Mr. Quincy…”

The voices revealed that Noah was here, and it sounded like they were coming from a nearby room

with the door left ajar.

Joseph paused for a moment as if to check Madeline’s reaction.

“Gee, is this the man who you would give your life to? Tsk, tsk. He has a way with women, doesn’t he?”

Joseph grinned smugly. It was clear that he was trying to make her a fool.

Madeline was no saint. Of course, she was upset by the presence of these women.

She was annoyed.

However, Madeline believed Noah was not that kind of guy.

She was conflicted, to say the least.

“Are you upset, Maddie? Come on. I’ll take you to teach that b*stard a lesson.”

Since Madeline wore her heart on her sleeve, Joseph picked up on her emotions.

He took her hand and dragged her to the entrance of the room.

“You brought me here to show me this.” Madeline was not in a hurry to enter. Stopping in her tracks,

she turned around and looked him in the eye.

“I just want to show you that you invested your feelings in the wrong person. You should know that I’m

the man for you.”

Joseph lowered his gaze to the woman before him. His eyes reflected a rare gentleness.

“Oh, I should thank you. Even though I don’t have feelings for Noah, I won’t like you. Quit wasting your

time.” Madeline made her stance clear.

She had no clue what Joseph was up to. However, he made a wrong move by getting any ideas about

her.

“How would you know if you don’t even give it a go? Don’t worry. Noah is ungrateful to disappoint you,

but I won’t.” Refusing to give up, Joseph held her by the shoulders and persuaded her.

Not in a hurry to retaliate, Madeline lifted her chin and met his gaze.

Her brilliant eyes were serene and still.

“How would I know you won’t? Men are smooth talkers. I won’t fall for the same trick twice.

“Weren’t you expecting Noah? In that case, you two should enjoy a good time with these ladies. I’m

out.”

Madeline extended his arm to brush off his grip on her shoulders before turning on her heel to take off.

Still, Joseph would not quit it.

He grabbed ahold of her and dragged her into the room.

Joseph kept his eyes on her while his slender finger pointed at the nearby man who was surrounded by

women. Joseph was brusque.

“Why are you refusing to believe that he’s like any ordinary man when the truth is right before your

eyes? A lustful man like him isn’t worth your affection and time. Why won’t you face the truth?”

“Look at the man that he is. Is he really the man you love?”

With Joseph barging into the room, silence befell the space.

Having been dragged into the room, Madeline looked in the direction of his finger in a daze.

She was dumbstruck.

Madeline took a moment in silence before the urge to laugh sank in.

“Erm… Well, he’s not.” Holding back the laughter, Madeline watched Wayne fight off the women and

answered Joseph’s question.

“That’s it. You must know now that Noah isn’t right for you. It’s great that you see the light, Maddie.”

Hot with emotions, Joseph dwelled in a deranged thrill.

The buzz only lasted three seconds though.

His delight was ruined by Wayne’s cries.

“Save me, Mrs. Quincy!”

“Alright!” Madeline readily said yes. She got away from Joseph and took strides forward.

A stern voice filled the air.

“Stop it, all of you!”

“We are spending time with Mr. Quincy on his request. Who are you to ruin Mr. Quincy’s fun?”

“Mr. Quincy? Open your eyes and take a good look. The man standing at the door is Mr. Quincy.”

“Huh? R-really?”

“It’s up to you to take my word for it. Mr. Quincy doesn’t look pleased. You might want to go and sweet

talk him.”

The group of women was skeptical.

Wayne held onto Madeline’s thigh and wailed.

“Mrs. Quincy, sob, sob, sob. I didn’t know what to do. They tried to kiss me. I nearly lost my first kiss…”

It hit the crowd Madeline was likely speaking the truth.

Discoloration washed their complexions.

“Oops. Did we get the wrong guy?”

“Come on. Let’s go…”

“Yes. Go on and find the real Mr. Quincy. Otherwise, he’s going to throw a fit.”

Madeline shouted and stirred trouble in the back.
