Aggresive Wife

CHAPTER 528 YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED IN MY BED

"That's enough! Stop fooling around. Lucas, take Mia, the kids, and the others with you and leave first. Noah and Lone Wolf will stay here with me," Madeline declared sternly.

I'll have Lone Wolf stay with us here since he's a good fighter. He could be of help if those guys really do try to harm us on the 15th.

"Well, I'm staying too, then! I couldn't possibly leave you behind at a dangerous place like this." Elise rejected Madeline's proposal almost instantly.

Upon hearing her decision, Dylan and Gabriel naturally decided to stay behind with her.

"It might be better if they stayed here as well. If we stick together, it'll be hard for those guys to take any of us away as hostages," Noah said.

"How do we explain to others about them staying here then?"

Noah's gaze fell on Shane. An enigmatic smile played across his lips. "I think we can leave the matter in Mr. Harvey's hands. I'm sure he'll handle it well."

Shane's brows twitched a little. Then, he gave a snort and turned his face away.

I guess he saw through our initial plans. Those men wanted me to keep all of them here. None of them are allowed to leave the house.

Once they had settled on the current plan, the group dispersed and went looking for a room for themselves.

Before leaving the room, Noah made a final threat to Shane. "The entire Harvey family might be in hot water if you happen to pick the wrong side this time, Mr. Harvey."

"I believe the lot of you are the ones in hot water right now!" Shane snapped at him.

Noah responded coolly, "I'll make sure to drag the Harvey family down with us if something bad does happen to us."

Then, he fixed Shane with a dark and intense gaze. As he felt the dangerous aura emanating from the young man, Shane could feel himself shaking a little.

I was right. This young man has an exceptional amount of grit and determination. I hope he would be able to keep that child safe so that she would not have to go down the same path as her mother did.

When Madeline and the others were getting ready to rest, Shane found himself with a ton of work to do still. He had to wake up all the passed-out guests and provide them with an explanation for the incident.

He told everyone that someone had laced the food served during the party with poison, and they had all fainted because they ingested the poison unwittingly.

Fortunately, they had managed to catch the culprit. Shane claimed that it was a male artist signed under one of the entertainment agencies owned by the Harvey family.

The artist had blamed his agency for the unsuccessful attempts at increasing his fame and popularity. Since then, he had been holding a grudge against the Harvey family. That night, the man found a way to slip into the party venue and poisoned the food.

Shane explained that they had handed the man over to the authorities. Previously, he had no choice but to keep all of the guests there to investigate the incident. Also, he wanted to be able to provide immediate medical assistance to any guests whose condition might suddenly worsen.

In the end, all of the guests could only keep any feelings of dissatisfaction to themselves. Shane had provided them with a sound and valid explanation that it would be rude for them to complain about the incident any further.

It was almost dawn when Wilbur and Wilda had finally regained consciousness.

The last thing that Wilbur remembered was being knocked out when he tried to attack Shane with a knife.

If only I could stay unconscious for the rest of my life… Anyway, why am I in my room? If Father isn't planning on turning me in, does that mean he's willing to forgive me?

On the other hand, Wilda went searching for Noah as soon as she woke up. She remembered what happened in the room the night before.

All of them were waiting for the butler as he searched for the medication for Colton. However, the man seemed to be stalling for time as he kept claiming that he couldn't find any medicine.

Eventually, Noah ran out of patience and threw a punch at the butler's face. The other bodyguards quickly surrounded him to try to overpower Noah. When Wilda hurried over to them to break up the fight, someone pushed her away forcefully. She bumped into the wall and hit her head so hard that she fainted at the time.

I wonder if Mr. Quincy and his children are alright?

It was only five in the morning when she stepped out of her room. The house was quiet and deserted. Everyone had gone to bed late that night due to the poisoning incident. With no one to ask for help, Wilda had to look for Noah by checking all the rooms, one by one.

When she was checking the rooms in the servant's quarter, she had woken up Madeline instead.

Madeline was a light sleeper. She woke up as soon as she heard the door opening. Then, she heard Wilda's soft voice through the slightly opened door. "Mr. Quincy?"

Just then, the arms circled around her waist seemed to have tightened more. The man lying beside her opened his eyes and pulled the covers over their heads.
