Abusive Wife

Chapter 35

Noah went straight into his study the moment he got home.

Staring at the report on his computer screen, Noah grew solemn and frustrated. With his finger tapping on the rosewood table, his eerie voice ensued. “Is this all you gathered from Imperia’s charitable association?”

Wayne hung his head low as exasperation fleeted across his eyes. “Sir, the data on Imperia’s charitable association was wiped clean. We couldn’t retrieve much information. I suspect Ms. Grant adopted some sort of preventive measure.”

He went on to drop another revelation. “Besides, the data was destroyed close to the time you called for the investigation. In other words, we have a mole among us.”

Stopping the consistent tapping, Noah narrowed his eyes at the glass on the table. “Was there anyone else around when I told you to look into the matter?”

Wayne gave it a thought before replying with hesitation, “We were walking by Colton’s bedroom…”

However, Colton was only five. How could a five-year-old be in touch with Madeline?

Not to mention, the pair did not know each other.

Noah eliminated the possibility. His dark eyes spoke of obscurity. “She’s more than what I thought she was capable of. She even has eyes on me.

“Leave no stones unturned. I want a detailed investigation of every person we ever came in contact with.

“You can ship yourself to Alewell if you come back empty.”

Wayne was feeling weak in the knees by the time he left the study in dejection.

For the sake of his livelihood and not going to Alewell, he must find the mole!

These people had the audacity to play dirty right under Mr. Quincy’s nose. Well, they would get what was coming for them.

Noah barely got much sleep in the last few days. Plagued by a headache, he rubbed his temples and planned to turn off his computer and get some sleep. It was then he noticed activity on the infrared surveillance on the rooftop.

Something glided past the monitoring screen, but it was enough to warrant attention.

Noah was alarmed.

He immediately turned on the thermal sensor system installed in the residence and pinpointed the location on the rooftop. Meanwhile, a large display screen rolled up against the wall in front of him.

The huge screen displayed eight camera angles to give a clear view of the rooftop.
