Abusive Wife Chapter 282

Chapter 282

In the Sunshine Villa, Annalise was in her room. She was scrolling through a news portal on her phone with an anxious feeling.

Soon, she saw herself in a photo, and she was almost completely naked. It was just that her pivotal parts were not exposed because of the camera angle.

Opposite her, an extremely handsome guy was standing with his back facing the camera. Although his face was not revealed, one could see from his back that he must be very handsome.

“Isn’t this Ms. Solace? How could she allow such an explicit photo to leak onto the internet?”

“Who’s that man in her arms? He looks like Mr. Quincy.”

“Is she really together with Mr. Quincy now? It seems that she was able to get his attention after following Mr. Quincy’s divorce news development closely.”

“Paparazzi nowadays were too shameless. Why did they take photos of people’s private life when the couple are just having a normal love life?”

People’s comments on the internet had been within Annalise’s expectations. Everyone would wonder if that man in the photo was none other than Mr. Quincy. With the reveal of Mr. Quincy’s divorce news that was made widespread by a social media account meant for digital marketing, people would come to the conclusion that Annalise and he were actually dating now and the people would wish the best for this match made in heaven. Finally, they would reprimand the paparazzi for taking sneak shots of their private life which ruined Annalise’s reputation.

At this moment, many were commenting on Annalises’s social media account. They were congratulating her and this made her feel good about this whole situation. However, there were

skeptics who were suspicious of the man’s identity in the photo. They wondered if this man was really Mr. Quincy and if he was already divorced when he and Annalise got together.

Annalise initially thought that Noah would stop the spread of such news, but after some time, she saw that the Quinton Corporation actually released a statement about Mr. Quincy’s status. It stated that he was single now, and he was actually pursuing Annalise. The two families would carry out the arranged marriage as planned.

This development really surprised Annalise. She should be jumping up and down in joy now, but she couldn’t even produce a smile on her face.

This was because she never met Noah in the washroom at that time.

Her plan should be impeccable. First, the waiter would pour some wine onto Noah, and the manager of the restaurant would help him to the washroom. She had sprayed some aphrodisiac in the washroom, and by the time Noah entered to get a change of clothes, he would have lost his reason and succumbed to her seduction.

Then, she would take this chance to make sure they could hook up successfully. If not, she had even planned for lecherous photos to be released as a way to announce their relationship to the public.

However, she would never expect to see another man the moment she stepped into the washroom. It was obvious that that man had been intoxicated by the aphrodisiac. He immediately took off her clothes and kissed her hard.

In no time, she was almost bare-naked. She was lucky that the manager of the restaurant was on her side. The moment she screamed for help, they all rushed in to separate that man from her.

Unfortunately, just as that man was being kicked out of the washroom, she heard a clicking sound that resembled the shutter of a camera. She even saw a figure who was carrying a camera disappear out of

sight.

She sent someone to go after that man, but they failed to catch him. This was why she had come back home just to follow the development of the news.

What she didn’t understand was the culprit behind these photos. Why would the Quinton Corporation suddenly announce that Mr. Quincy was single now? Why did they announce that the two families were establishing marriage ties?

Could it be that Noah had come to his senses? Could it be that Noah had finally realized that he always loved Annalise all along, and he was now officially trying to make her his wife?

Annalise couldn’t figure out what was going on. She was about to seek Rowan’s help when she overheard Rowan’s conversation on the phone with their grandfather, Steve.

“How can you endure such long flights with that deteriorating body of yours? Are you kidding me?”

Annalise thought,

Where is grandpa flying to?

“You don’t have anything to worry about. Annalise is fine here. That video last time was just a misunderstanding. I will make sure to watch over her. You really don’t need to come here by yourself.”

Video? What video? Is grandpa coming all the way to Imperia just for some video? Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Annalise couldn’t wrap her head around what was going on.

“Grandpa, you can’t just listen to Annalise blindly. Noah’s wife is not someone like you described. She didn’t bully Annalise.” Rowan was having a headache. These days, Annalise had been video-calling

their grandfather every day, and it would last one to two hours. She was able to cheer up their grandfather, and he seemed to forget about that video very quickly.

He wouldn’t know what kind of outrageous stuff Annalise had told Steve, which led to him thinking of Madeline as someone evil and ruthless who also liked to bully Annalise.

Now, Steve was bent on teaching Madeline a lesson for Annalise’s sake. Naturally, Rowan was reluctant to welcome him to Imperia because of that.

However, he also knew well that once grandpa had made up his mind, it would be close to impossible to change his mind.

In the end, Rowan had tried his best to remedy things, yet the grandfather and grandson duo couldn’t see eye to eye.

Annalise eavesdropped everything until Rowan hung up. Her hands were balled into fists as she was consumed by anger.

She always thought that his brother was a naive, rich person who would always fulfill her needs. He had always been nice toward her.

However, she finally knew that Rowan was just pretending all the while. He must be wary of their grandfather taking a liking to her and in the end, giving away all of his fortunes to her. Therefore, he tried to stop their grandfather to come to Imperia, and he even spoke badly of her in front of grandpa.

No way. She wouldn’t allow her brother to be the successor of the Solace family. She couldn’t see him becoming the apple of grandpa’s eyes, or else once grandpa passed away, she would have no idea how Rowan would treat her from that point onwards.

This was especially true since he was getting along better with Madeline compared to herself. Who knew, maybe Madeline would instigate a conflict between them, which resulted in her getting kicked out of the Solace family.

Annalise was suddenly gripped by fear.

She immediately got back to her room and made a call to Steve. She began to add in some bad criticisms that were directed toward Rowan in their exchanges.

What she didn’t know was that Old Mr. Solace had spent the bulk of the past two decades cultivating Rowan as the heir to the Solace family. This was not a decision he could overturn just because of some trivial reasons.

Although Old Mr. Solace always showed Annalise affection, his heart was always with Rowan, his capable grandson.

As Annalise continued to speak badly of Rowan, she was also wishing for Noah to suddenly confess to her. On the other hand, Madeline finally woke up and found that she was in an unfamiliar place.

She shot up into a sitting position as her hand reached for her blade that was supposed to dangle from her waist. She was extremely alert.

When she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, she lashed out with her blade and aimed it at the person’s vitals.

“Pretty lady, it’s me.” Lone Wolf was able to grab Madeline’s wrist easily. He then pulled her into his embrace.

Madeline twisted her wrist and some steel needles protruded from a bracelet that she was wearing. Lone Wolf was holding her wrist where her bracelet was, and if he was even a second late in retrieving

his hand, his hand would have been full of holes now.

“I am your savior no matter what. Is this your way of expressing your gratitude?” Lone Wolf stepped back and put down a tray of food on the table in front of her.

Only then did Madeline recall being trapped in the suite that was slowly filling with poison. It was indeed Lone Wolf who had saved her.

“How long am I out cold?” Lone Wolf was always someone who liked to hold onto grudges, and the same could be said about owing him a favor. She didn’t need to thank him now as she had to repay this debt in some way later on.

“A couple of hours,” Lone Wolf made himself comfortable on a sofa, and he was shielding his face from some sunlight that had poured in through the window.

He resembled a teenager at the moment.

“What did you inject into me this time?” Madeline saw a tiny dot on her arm, and she couldn’t help but feel her heart sink.

“It’s something that will save you.” Lone Wolf winked at her before jumping out of the window and disappearing from sight.
