Abusive Wife

Chapter 189

Bruno’s spirits rose as he continued scheming.

When Noah had come back into Madeline’s life, it was as if the wretched girl had won the lottery, acting as if she owned the entire world. She wouldn’t even acknowledge her own father. Now that Noah had abandoned her, she no longer had his protection!

Bruno decided on his course of action. Dusting off the trash that clung to his clothes, he headed straight for the Maple Forest Villa with Kingsley in tow.

When he reached Madeline’s residence, he stood outside and studied it. The more he gazed at it, the better it looked.

“Mr. Bruno, a residence in this area ought to be worth a considerable amount, shouldn’t it?”

“Of course it is. The three main roads are easily accessible from here, and it’s a large villa as well. It’s worth one billion, at the very least. Mm, that’s not bad at all. As long as we can find someone trustworthy to buy this place, we’ll have the start-up capital for what we want to do.”

“Mr. Bruno, this is Ms. Madeline’s residence, though. Isn’t it rather inappropriate for us to do that?” Even Kingsley was shocked by Bruno’s outrageous scheme.

“Pah, I raised her! I’m her father, and I’m in difficulties now. What objections could she have to helping me out? Anyway, I wouldn’t be in this sorry position now if she hadn’t tricked me!” Bruno indicated the dirt and debris on his clothes, feeling perfectly justified in his course of action.

At Bruno’s reply, Kingsley let the matter drop. After receiving his orders, he

quietly contacted the real estate agent.

Bruno felt extremely satisfied when he heard Kingsley making arrangements on the phone and swaggered right up to the front door, ringing the doorbell.

Inside the villa, Madeline was relaxing on the sofa, feeling very sleepy. Noah had gone back to the company headquarters after lunch, and she had brought Thomas back here with her. She was in a bit of a food coma after eating a little too much.

She was planning on taking a good long afternoon nap when the doorbell began ringing insistently without signs of stopping.

The noise hurt her ears and gave her a headache. Reluctantly, she got up and

went to open the door groggily. When she saw Bruno standing outside, her headache got even worse.
