Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

On the other hand, the two guys who kept staring at her were really acting weird.

“What kind of surprise were you talking about on the phone?” When Elise returned to her seat, Dylan

inched closer to her, wanting to ask her something. However, he was rejected by her mercilessly.

Dylan glared at Madeline with a resentful expression. He sipped on his water to pretend that he was

not awkward.

“You’ll know soon enough.”

“Then, sit tight right here and watch the show with me. Don’t go disappear somewhere else. Mr. Quincy

has called to remind me that if you’re missing from my sight, he will kill me.”

“Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare to lift a finger at one of mine.” Madeline dismissed him.

Soon, the fashion show started. Everyone focused their attention on the runway.

The reason Madeline had organized this fashion show at this juncture was to build up some momentum

for the charity dinner that was going to happen tomorrow night. She wanted to restore the confidence of

the people in the La Merveille brand.

Think about it, the garments that the models are wearing today are mind-blowing, and these pieces

would leave a huge impression on the attendees. The next day, they could wear these pieces and

attend the dinner. Those buyers could thoroughly enjoy the admiration of others.

With that, they would no longer feel dissatisfied with those damaged dresses and suits. The La

Merveille brand could make its mark here too and increase its brand value.

“Wow! This dress is so pretty! I want it so much! I am willing to buy it no matter the cost!”

“If I can wear this to the charity dinner tomorrow, I will definitely be the center of attention!”

As expected, the show was pleasantly received by the attendees.

Elise pointed her thumb at Madeline as a way of saying “good job”. Even if they had taught Suzette and

her goons a lesson, the business of the boutique would still get affected greatly if they hadn’t hired Mr.

Lorren to lead this fashion show.

As the show reached its climax, everyone was won over by the dresses and suits of the La Merveille

brand. Some were even eager to book their orders through Elise on the spot.

At this moment, the crowd was stirring with excitement.

Everyone’s gaze fell on a tiny figure that was standing on the runway now.

“It’s Mackenzie! She’s that child star from Netherwood!”

“Oh god! She is even more adorable than how she appears on the big screen!”

“Is this her first appearance in the country? La Merveille is hitting it big nowadays!”

“That dress she is wearing is so marvelous! Words can’t even describe how pretty she is!”

“Our little princess is really too classy! Maddie, your surprise is really a good one! I am beyond

surprised!” When Elise saw Mackenzie, she couldn’t contain her delirium as she hugged Madeline

while jumping up and down.

At that moment, Madeline saw that the two guys who were next to Rowan were staring blankly at

Mackenzie.

No, there was some weird passion and perversion in their eyes.

Was everyone from that family some kind of pervert?

Madeline frowned and she shot a glare at them at the same time. She also caught a glimpse of

Annalise tugging at Rowan. She was seemingly complaining about something in his ears but she was

quickly reprimanded by him. Only then she would settle back to her seat with an annoyed look on her

face.

Despite that, Annalise didn’t even plan to conceal her violent intentions. Madeline could see that

Annalise was staring intently at Mackenzie as if she wanted to gobble her up here and now.

Madeline alerted the bodyguards to order them to keep an eye on the Solaces. Not even one of them

could get close to Mackenzie today.

The bodyguard received his order, and he also had something to report.

“Ms. Madeline, we spotted a suspicious-looking model acting strangely in our backstage, and we have

apprehended her to interrogate her. We found that she was sent there by Annalise, and she had

planned to create an embarrassment on the stage to ruin this show. Mr. Wright proposed to let

Mackenzie take the stage ahead of schedule to prevent that from happening.”

Madeline nodded and understood why Annalise was fuming now. It turned out that her scheme had

fallen through.

“Is there anything else to report?” Madeline frowned and asked the bodyguard who was still standing

there. He had a torn look on his face.

The bodyguard confessed, “That model was first discovered by Bruno.”

“Bruno? What is he doing here?” It had been a while since Madeline had heard that name. She almost

forgot about that father of hers who liked to create trouble.

“He claimed that he is here to watch your show. He won’t make any trouble this time. See, he’s just

right there in that corner.”

Madeline followed the direction where the bodyguard had pointed, and sure enough, Bruno was

standing next to a garbage can, and his arms were folded in front of his chest. He was dressed in all-

black attire, so one would not notice him easily.

When he saw that Madeline had discovered him, he produced a rueful smile before retreating a little

back into the corner. It looked like he was afraid of Madeline getting angry at him.

Madeline knew that his father didn’t have it easy lately. He almost lost his life after getting retaliated

against by Suzette and James, and he even became a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

Madeline had underestimated how resilient his father was. Bruno had lost much of his weight, and he

appeared much older compared to the last time she saw him.

“Keep an eye on him. Report to me who he comes into contact with no matter who that person is.”
