Abusive Wife

Chapter 73

Noah Quincy wore a sleek, black dress shirt that fitted him like a glove. He had sharp features carved like a Greek god and a look that commanded attention wherever he went. The crowd of reporters could not help turning their heads to watch him as he walked in the ballroom like a king. As soon as they spotted him, speculation was rife with the reasons for his appearance.

“He must be here to support Ms. Grant, I’m sure!”

“Surely! Angie Grant had been silently suffering all this time. She even held a press conference to clear Noah’s reputation. What a good fiancée he’s found for himself!”

“Yes, she would make an excellent wife for Noah, being the sensible and elegant woman she is.”

Noah caught bits and pieces of the discussion among the reporters as he walked down the ballroom aisle toward the stage, his expression grave and stony. The color had drained from Angie’s face and heart almost stopped as soon as she noticed it was Noah who walked in the ballroom. She knew Noah would not be happy with her hosting this press conference, but she never expected him to turn up personally. She calmed herself down and hoped for the best as she took small steps toward Noah, approaching him tentatively.

“Noah, what brings you here? I can handle it on my own. Everyone knows the truth now. They won’t write slanderous untruths about you

anymore,” she greeted Noah cautiously. She stood by his side gingerly, the picture of a modest, subservient wife.

Netizens had also noticed Noah’s sudden appearance through the livestream. The comments section was bursting with declarations of adoration for Noah. He’s here, Noah Quincy’s here to save his princess! How sweet! they commented fervently.

Noah took a hard look at Angie before speaking, realizing for the first time how truly unfamiliar he was with this woman that had been by his side for so many years. “Ms. Grant, do you mean to say you were not the person who started the rumors about me ‘sampling the goods?” his tone was clipped as he took a step away from Angie, maintaining a polite distance.
