Aggresive Wife

Chapter 493

CHAPTER 493 TALK WHILE YOU’RE SHOWERING

Seeing Bruno hesitant, Wayne spoke more seriously, "Mr. Grant may not know that Mr. Quincy had someone guarding your house during this period. That's why you were able to live a peaceful life for a few days. Less than five minutes after we left, your house caught fire. If you were still inside, you would probably be a charred corpse by now."

Bruno shuddered. After so many years, he did not doubt the cruelty of those people.

Bruno picked up the photo on the table with trembling hands. Under Noah's gaze, he began to talk about the past things that even Madeline did not know about.

"Her name was Eliza Harvey. When I met her, she was already pregnant. She said she could give me a large sum of money if I was willing to marry her. At that time, I had failed in my business and owed a lot of debts, so I agreed," Bruno said.

"When you met, Eliza was already pregnant, right? So Madeline is a child of the Solace family?" Noah's mind was suddenly clear.

Bruno was a little confused and said nervously, "Solace family?"

Noah nodded, "Your wife, Eliza, was once the wife of Richard Solace. I found this photo from Mr. Solace and I saw it in your house too."

It was not surprising that Bruno did not know about Eliza's identity. At that time, he was poor and struggling with his business failure, and he had no time to pay attention to gossip news. So it was normal that he had never seen a photo of Eliza before.

Moreover, after the disappearance of Richard, all news reports about Mr. Solace and his wife were erased, as if these two people had disappeared entirely from the world.

After that, Bruno could no longer see any news related to Eliza.

"She was actually the daughter-in-law of the Solace family." Bruno was a bit incredulous.

Noah was also excited. He had previously guessed the relationship between Madeline and the Solace family, but he did not expect her to be the younger sister of the Solace brothers.

"Please go on." Noah cleared his throat and signaled for Bruno to continue.

It took Bruno a while to recover, and he took a big gulp of water before continuing with what he was saying.

"Before I married Eliza, we agreed on three rules. I couldn't touch her, I couldn't ask about her past, and when she gave birth to the child, I would let her go. But she was so beautiful and capable, and I fell in love with her. I didn't want her to leave, so I had Suzette secretly take away her child."

Bruno seemed completely lost in his memories and became very emotional. His face showed both pain and regret.

"I just wanted her to stay. I thought that hiding her child would make her stay, but I didn't expect her to go up the mountain to look for her child and fall down..."

Bruno grabbed his hair, and tears of anguish streamed down his cheeks.

Noah, however, was not moved after hearing this. He did not believe Eliza would have fallen off a cliff while trying to find her child on the mountain. If she had died because of this, the Harvey family would not have left Bruno alive.

But more than twenty years have passed, and the Harvey family not only did not make trouble for Bruno but did not intervene when Madeline suffered mistreatment in the Grant family. On the contrary, when the Grant family faced bankruptcy several times, the Harvey family helped them secretly.

The only explanation for why the Harvey family did this was that Madeline could not appear in Imperia as the granddaughter of the Harvey family and Eliza's daughter.

The Solace family had recognized Madeline's identity before, but they only made her the goddaughter of Mr. Solace. Their concerns might be the same as those of the Harvey family.

"Go find Suzette." Noah got up and went to the study room. Wayne reported, "Suzette is missing. We are still investigating."

It seemed that Suzette was an important person.

"Go to Joseph's place to find her." Noah loosened his tie and leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, trying to piece together the scattered fragments into a complete picture.

However, there were still many gaps in the picture, making it difficult for him to see what was depicted.

The Solace family might know what was missing from the picture. Perhaps the brothers in the Solace family had already told Madeline when they left her alone in the room that day.

But they were cautious and did not allow Madeline to reveal anything to him.

So he could only investigate slowly on his own.

Madeline slept well last night. When she woke up, Elise was still sleeping. She quietly got out of bed and went to the balcony to call Noah.

Just now, Wayne sent her a photo of Noah, who was still working at his desk. It was clear he had pulled an all-nighter. If he kept this up, he could easily suffer from sudden death.

Noah was surprised to receive Madeline's call. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead. "Do you miss me?"

"Um," Madeline took a deep breath of fresh air and asked him softly and gently, "Did you sleep well last night?"
