Aggresive Wife

Chapter 518

CHAPTER 518 FINDING THE WILL

Noah changed into Lone Wolf's flamboyant clothes and sported sunglasses to conceal his face. He managed to pass by Wilda unnoticed.

Wilda was eager to lend Noah a hand and searched for his familiar figure in the crowd. Consequently, she overlooked Noah, who walked past her with his head down, dressed in flashy attire.

Upon arriving at the restroom and not seeing Noah, she waited for a brief moment before knocking on the door and calling out his name, "Mr. Quincy, are you in there?"

When there was no response, she opened the door and caught a glimpse of a man standing at the urinal. She screamed and covered her eyes.

Lone Wolf seized the opportunity to slip away.

"Hmm…hmm…"

Wilda opened her eyes when she heard some strange noise coming from the restroom compartment. She discovered that the person using the urinal had already left.

She followed the noise and opened the compartment door. She discovered a man who had been beaten, tied up, and had bruises and a swollen face. Wilda had done her homework and knew everyone at the banquet, but she could not place that man.

"Who are you? Who tied you up here?" she asked.

This man just cried while gazing at Wilda without saying a word. He had been secretly admiring Wilda for years, and he did not want to make a bad first impression on her.

Wilda said politely, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality from the Harvey family. Rest assured, we’ll make it up to you for this incident. Could you please give me one of your business cards?"

As she untied him, she noticed that the belt used to tie him up looked familiar.

"I'm Noah Quincy," the man said in a weak voice, carefully studying Wilda's reaction.

Wilda was stunned and looked at the man up and down. She commanded the servant, “Take him to the guest room and keep a close eye on him.”

The man pleaded,"Ms. Harvey, it's me. I’m Noah. I was injured in your house. Shouldn't you personally take care of me?"

Wilda made an effort to control her rage. Before she departed, she gave the guards orders to keep a close eye on that man.

Noah made his way to Shane's bedroom without any problems. When he opened the door, he found Shane lying peacefully on the bed, as if he was sleeping. While Madeline sat on the bedside and used Shane's fingerprint to unlock his phone.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Madeline cautiously let go of the old man's hand and glanced at the door from the corner of her eye. When she saw Lone Wolf's attention-grabbing clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief and told him, "Look for the old man's will."

Noah, on the other hand, furrowed his brows as he observed Shane sleeping on the bed.

He wondered, Has Madeline drugged him? Why is there no response from Shane?

After Madeline unlocked Shane's phone, she found little private information there. She searched through his photo album. Unfortunately, this phone was new and had nothing of value.

"What are you standing there for? Get to work!" Madeline scolded without looking up.

Noah obediently lowered his head to search for the will on the bedside table.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming from the outside. Someone had almost arrived before the bedroom door.

Madeline hastily pulled Noah into the closet beside the bed. They hid in a small space due to the rush. Noah came close to hugging Madeline. She even took the initiative to lean against him and squeeze herself between his legs, with her back against Noah, to prevent falling out of the closet.

Wilbur's irate voice could be heard outside, "Where did you hide it? How could it be lost if you believed in me? I'm your son, why won't you believe me?"

Wilbur frantically searched the room as Shane remained motionless in bed. He eventually took a seat on the balcony, feeling defeated as he observed those below having a good time as if nothing had happened.

Wilbur and his wife had come dangerously close to death in the earlier fire. Elena was still lying unconscious in the room.

Wilbur did not hold it against Elena.

If Shane had put more faith in him and given him control over the family business, he would not have had to devise a plan to persuade Wilda to wed Noah, which led to this unexpected catastrophe.

Now, Elena wanted to divorce him.

Wilbur did not want to lose his wife or a substantial amount of family assets due to the divorce. He knew that if he divorced, his father would take Elena's side. His old man may even have kicked him out of the family.

Since Wilbur had been preparing for this for years, he could not let his plans fall through. He was hoping to take advantage of the chaos today to either get his hands on Shane's will or coerce Shane into setting up another one. Wilbur, however, intended to completely remove his father from the family business.
