Aggressive Wife

Chapter 86

Angie's expression brightened when she heard the good news. She eagerly picked up the garments thrown across the floor and gushed, "You are the best, Mom! How did you get acquainted with the Hanns? The Hann family's third son used to be interested in me. Don't worry, I'll certainly win his heart. By then, we'll be living in a nice home and buying everything we want!" She then stood in front of the mirror, trying on the clothes that Suzette had persuaded James to buy on sale.

"All right, I'll wait for your good news. Carry on with the preparations," Suzette replied. She was relieved to see her daughter had regained her fighting spirit.

Suzette got her bag and exited the room after giving Angie a reassuring pat on the shoulder. She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, so she went to find James and offered herself to him in return for the three-million-dollar gown.

Three days later, Madeline was touching up her makeup at Maple Forest Villa when Albert informed her, "Ms. Grant, the car is ready. We may leave anytime."

After putting on her tassel diamond necklace, the woman stood up and said, "All right, let's go!" However, she encountered a commotion as soon as she stepped out of the room.

"You haven't yet recovered, Mr. Quincy. Why are you walking about instead of resting in your room?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

When Madeline lifted her head, she spotted Noah wearing an exquisite black suit. She was perplexed by his sudden appearance but had a hunch that it was related to the Hann family's birthday celebration. It would be the Hanns' honor to have the wealthiest family in Imperia attend their event.

Noah lifted his brow and said confidently, "I heard that it's the Hann family's birthday celebration today. I wasn't keen on attending, but I was worried that you would be lonely without a male companion." He

then extend his arm and waited for Madeline to place her hand through it.

The woman's first instinct was to step back and think of ways to reject his advances. However, she quickly changed her mind and replied, "Thank you for taking the time to accompany me, Mr. Quincy." She hooked her arm through his and followed him to the car with a wide grin.

Noah and Madeline soon arrived at the Hann residence. They were greeted by Roger Hann and his wife, Belinda Garot, the moment they alighted from their Rolls-Royce.

Roger was taken aback to see the duo holding hands, but he soon grinned from ear to ear. "Welcome, Mr. Quincy and Ms. Grant! Thank you for gracing the event. Let's talk inside!" The other attendees cleared a path for the distinguished guests to enter the house.

"Mr. Quincy, you and Ms. Grant are a match made in heaven!" Roger lavished Noah and Madeline with praises as

he walked them into the event hall. The crowd could not stop admiring their good looks as well. "What a lovely couple, Mr. Quincy and Ms. Grant!"

Roger lavished them with compliments as he led them inside the event hall. The audience couldn't stop admiring their superb looks as well.

"What a charming couple, Mr. Quincy and Ms. Grant!"

"They look like they walked out of a fairy tale!"

"Ms. Grant is such a lucky woman! She must have done many good deeds to have such good fortune."

"If they get married in the future, Ms. Grant will be the most honorable woman in Imperia!"

Everyone cast envious glances in Madeline's direction, wishing they were in her shoes. However, the woman felt uncomfortable being in the spotlight and could not wait to part ways with Noah. She had accepted the invitation to see what Suzette and Angie were up to. It was never her attention to steal the limelight and broadcast her relationship with Noah.

Unfortunately, Noah held a different opinion from hers. He halted his footsteps and announced, "Please don't be mistaken. Ms. Grant and I aren't dating."

The crowd gasped at the sudden revelation. Some were devastated to learn that the dream couple was a ruse. Noah made another surprising revelation before they could process the news. "However, I'm doing everything I can to win Ms. Grant's heart. As long as she agrees, she will be Mrs. Quincy."

Despite the news that Noah was interested in Madeline, they were taken aback by how quickly their relationship was progressing.

Madeline frowned and glared at Noah. "What the hell are you doing, Noah Quincy?"

No way in hell am I agreeing to marry Noah! I couldn't care less about being Mrs. Quincy.

"I mean every word I said. Can't you feel my sincerity?" Despite the woman's enraged expression, Noah did not back down. Instead, he smiled endearingly at Madeline.

I'm going to make up whatever I owe Madeline from five years ago. The first would be to show her my unwavering love and concern. Although she was Mrs. Quincy in the past, I've never once cared for her. As a result, she became a laughing stock in Imperia. From now on, I'll make sure she never experiences any unhappiness.

Meanwhile, Angie was sipping wine while moving seductively toward the man leaning against the balcony on the second floor. He was none other than Sam Hann, the third son of the Hann family.

Getting the attention of the wealthy man was her only chance to defeat Madeline Grant. She could not leave the party empty-handed, not after she went to great length to be invited to the Hann family's event.

"Hi, Ms. Grant. What a surprise!" Sam said sarcastically as his eyes lingered down her body. He was previously captivated by her good beauty and slender form, but she never once reciprocated his advances. Angie was more concerned about marrying into the Quincy family. He promised vengeance for the humiliation he had felt in the past now that she had willingly surrendered herself to him.

"I didn't plan to attend the event, but I agreed to come when I heard that you will be here." Angie tried to react lightheartedly despite sensing the man's contempt. She forced a smile and wrapped her fingers around his tie.

"I'm grateful to Ms. Grant for making the trip for me." Sam could deduce Angie's intentions by her sultry gaze. Despite his displeasure at her hidden agenda and scandalous behavior, he was captivated by her beauty. His hands glided down her back and settled hot and warm on the bare skin of her waist.

After Madeline finally managed to escape the crowd, she ran to the upper floor to get a respite. While seeking for a place to hide, she heard a familiar voice, "Be gentle, Sam. You're hurting me!"
