Chapter 527 Aren’t You Underestimating Mr. Quincy

Noah moved toward Shane and took off the tape plastered over his mouth.

Shane was about to shout for help but stopped when he met Madeline's gaze. He had a dawning

realization as he noticed the enigmatic look in her eyes.

Madeline is very different from Eliza. She is far more cold-hearted than her mother. If I insist on making

her an enemy, I might end up putting Wilda in danger instead.

Madeline detected a hint of resignation in Shane's eyes. She said, "After Eliza had gone missing, the

Solace family moved all the way to Uranica. Still, they had a hard time starting over there. On the

contrary, the Harvey family became even more prosperous and successful as time went on. I believe

you have a hand in making that happen, Mr. Harvey?"

Shane merely looked at Madeline and waited for her to continue. However, Madeline stared back at the

man as she wanted his confirmation.

After a long pause, Noah broke the silence and said, "We'll leave as soon as you tell us who you're

working with."

"You're both young and hot-blooded. You think you can do just about anything. However, there are

always those who are more powerful and capable than you are." Shane let out a heavy sigh.

"You think we don't stand a chance against those people," Madeline concluded from his words.

Shane finally decided to tell them the truth, "That's right. You don't stand a chance against those men.

I'm certain they've kept a close watch over your every movement ever since you stepped foot in

Yashal."

Since Shane was ready to talk to them, Madeline had Lone Wolf help the old man get to his feet and sit

on a chair. Then, they offered him some water.

Shane took a big gulp of water and cleared his throat. "Those people made me hold this birthday party

to lure all of you here. They want to force you into doing what they want by threatening to harm your

children."

"What is it that they want from her?" Noah asked anxiously. He had been worrying ceaselessly about

what these people were trying to do to Madeline.

"They want her to do a body check-up." Shane was only informed that much. Those secretive people

sent a machine and several shady-looking doctors to his house. They told him that those were for

Madeline's check-up.

I don't think it'll be just a simple body check-up.

Madeline turned her head and met Noah's gaze.

When those guys had taken my lucky charm, they could've used it to force me to do a check-up.

However, they didn't do that back then. Why wait until I've come to Yashal and make Shane threaten

me instead?

Shane had an inkling of what the couple was probably thinking about. "I'm not sure what those people

are up to, but they've said that they need you to do the check-up on the 15th of this month."

I see. They were waiting for the right time.

Did those people think that I might transform into something else on a full moon night?

Madeline found such superstitious practice to be rather amusing.

Noah's gaze lowered as he was in deep thought. Madeline lightly pinched him on the arm to stop him

from over-worrying.

"Alright. I've told you everything that I know. Now, take her with you and leave," Shane grumbled to

Noah impatiently.

Madeline felt skeptical about Shane being so helpful at the moment.

We had the advantage this time since we knew of his plans in advance. Who knows what might

happen the next time we are at odds again?

Then, she looked at Noah and waited for his opinion.

After a moment's consideration, Noah said, "We'll head back to Imperia first."

Shane breathed a sigh of relief.

Madeline furrowed her brows. She had a different stance on the matter, so she glanced at Shane and

said, "We're staying. Just pretend like nothing happened and let them do the check-up on me."

"No!"

Both Noah and Shane objected firmly aloud.

Madeline had a confused look in her eyes.

I understand Noah is saying no because he worries for my safety. Why would that old man feel so

strongly against the idea, though?

"You can't fool those people! Not only are you putting yourself in danger by staying here, but you're

also putting the Harvey family in a tight spot!" Shane said.

Madeline replied nonchalantly, "If I were to leave, would those men let you off when you're supposed to

keep me here for them? Those guys aren't that generous, am I right?"

"Still, that's much better than having them catch me plotting with you guys to fool them!" Shane

appeared extremely distressed. There was genuine fear in his eyes as he spoke of those men.

"Who are those people?" Madeline leaned forward and directed her gaze at Shane.

Shane felt like he had run out of options. He slowly reached out his tied hands and wrote a name on

Madeline's palm with a finger.

Madeline got quite a shock after learning that information. However, she did not let her emotions show

on her face. Instead, she scoffed haughtily, "Aren't you underestimating Mr. Quincy's capabilities then?"

Noah placed his hand on Madeline's arm and said in a low voice, "You should bring the kids and return

to Imperia first. Leave everything here to me, alright?"

Madeline pursed her lips. "Are you worried that I might disturb you and Ms. Wilda?"

"You know that's not what I mean." Noah was getting a bit frustrated.

I don't mind her getting jealous from time to time. In fact, I'm happy about it since that means she wants

me all to herself. However, we're talking about a matter of life and death now. I can't possibly let her do

as she pleases now.

Though I didn't see what Shane had written on her hand, I did notice the brief look of alarm in her eyes

just now. That must mean those people are no easy opponents.

"How would I know what you're trying to say? Anyway, you can either head back to Imperia alone or

stay here with me." Then, Madeline turned her head to face Shane again.

After that, she signaled Lone Wolf to untie Shane.

"Starting today, I'll disguise myself as one of your maids and stay in this place until the 15th of this

month. Release the other first thing tomorrow morning."

Noah noticed the determined look in Madeline's eyes and knew that there was no way he could change

her mind.

I'm staying, of course. Even if something urgent had come up in Imperia, I would never under any

circumstances leave her alone in a place like this.

"I'm staying too."

"What are you going to use as your excuse for staying here?" Madeline raised a brow.

Lone Wolf butted in before Noah could respond, "That's easy. He'll stay as Ms. Wilda's secret lover,

then."

His words drew a glare from Madeline. At the same time, Noah lifted his foot and kicked forcefully in

Lone Wolf's direction. The latter managed to dodge Noah's attack with his agile moves.

However, he felt someone push him back from behind the next instant, and he ended up getting kicked

in the chest by Noah, regardless.

He turned around to look who it was, but he could only see Colton and Mackenzie in the distance. Just

then, Thomas's grinning face appeared as if it was floating in mid-air.

"You naughty brat!" Lone Wolf shouted at him.
