Abusive Wife Chapter 245

Chapter 245

On the way home, Mackenzie tried her very best to get away from Noah, but not only did she fail, all her tools were confiscated by Noah too.

That included the ring with a poison needle attached to it.

Noah fidgeted with that ring for a while before asking her, “Did mommy give you this?”

Mackenzie didn’t seem like she wanted to answer him.

“This is a nerve paralysis drug, it’s nothing special. Anyone who is capable in some capacity can undo the effects of this drug just with his or her willpower alone. Furthermore, you’re still a child. If you really encounter someone powerful, I bet that you would have a hard time injecting this into that person’s body.”

After saying that, Noah tossed the ring into their storeroom disdainfully.

“I can’t believe that you’re still using such an outdated tool. We are in the twenty-first century now, you know.”

“You can’t even evade my attack even when I used something so outdated. That can only mean that you’re pretty useless.” Mackenzie couldn’t stop herself from retorting.

Noah’s brow shot up, “It’s not like I can’t evade you. I just didn’t put my defenses around you, baby.”

When Mackenzie pricked his neck with that needle, he immediately sensed danger. He could have avoided her and taken her down. However, he didn’t know what she was holding in her hands, and he was afraid that she would be hurt if he moved without thinking. That was what brought him down.

“You said that I have ancient tools, but do you have better ones?” From their exchange just now, Mackenzie had to admit that Noah was indeed a capable person.

He even aroused a sense of respect in her.

“Of course. My tools can execute long-range attacks, and not only can they paralyze people’s nerves, but they can also force you into submission too. You will be a rag doll that follows my command.”

In fact, Noah had other more formidable tools and gadgets, but they were too dangerous and savage. They wouldn’t suit a little girl like Mackenzie.

“Really?” Mackenzie’s eyes lit up in excitement. She knew that Uncle Andy had drugs that were even more potent, but her mommy wouldn’t allow him to give those to her.

That was what led to this embarrassment today.

“Naturally, if you are willing to go home with me, I can give you a golden silk armor, the kind that is impenetrable. You won’t even feel any pain even if mommy smacks your butt.”

“A boss like you should know that it’s illegal to kidnap a child, right? Don’t tell me that I never warn you, my dad is very powerful. You better not have any funny ideas.”

Mackenzie was no longer smiling as she seemed to be giving out a warning.

However, Noah felt elated. He didn’t imagine that Madeline would bring up his name in front of their daughter. She even seemed to praise him in some way.

“What’s your daddy’s name? How is he so powerful?”

“You only need to know that he’s powerful. He’s someone you can’t afford to offend.”

This little girl really knew how to protect herself.

“Is he in Imperia then?”

“Although he’s not in Imperia, he would come to save me if something were to happen to me.”

Noah who was still basking in happiness immediately felt his heart freeze over. He examined Mackenzie carefully and found that this princess was not bluffing. That only served to make him feel worse.

Mackenzie saw that his expression had changed, and she was a little nervous, “If you hit me, my daddy will get back at you a thousand, no, ten thousandfold!”

“Is that so? So your daddy always protects you like that in Uranica?” Noah still harbored some wishful thinking, trying to convince himself that his worst nightmare wouldn’t come true.

He really wished that this little princess wouldn’t answer that her daddy was indeed in Uranica.

Nevertheless, the princess’ crystalline voice destroyed his delusion, “Of course. Mommy told me that when I was born, there were many bad guys who bullied her. It was daddy who had fended them off for her.”

Noah’s heart ached upon hearing that. The bad guy this princess was talking about must be him, right? Was it that guy who had fended off the bad guys the same one who had stayed by Madeline’s side in those bygone years?

When he thought about how Madeline would smile in front of another guy, how she would hug and kiss him, Noah felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

It was just a lie all along when he insisted that he wouldn’t mind one bit.

“Don’t worry, my daddy is a good guy. He won’t do anything to you if you don’t bully me.” Mackenzie saw that Noah’s face had turned pale, to which she must have mistakenly thought that Noah was

terrified. So, she tried to console him.

Noah asked the driver to head to the hotel with a bitter smile. He planned to get more information on that man from the princess first before letting her reunite with Madeline.

After sending Mackenzie back to the hotel, he thought about how she would be scared, being all alone there. Therefore, he sent Candace to accompany her. At the same time, he ramped up the security around the hotel’s perimeter by adding more of his men.

In the Maple Forest villa, Madeline received a call from the Charity Association.

“Chairman, the authorities have sent someone to investigate the association. They allegedly claim that we are doing illegal crowdfunding.”

“Control public opinion, and urge them to announce the result as soon as possible.” There had been mishaps in the last selection for the Ambassador for Philanthropy. If they failed again this time, they would lose the trust of the masses.

If things went wrong, the supposedly noble designation of the Ambassador for Philanthropy would become a laughing stock in the eyes of the public.

“Rumors have already spread all across the internet. If we jump in and force our power on this, I am afraid that unwanted consequences might arise. What’s more, the authorities don’t seem too kind in their stance.”

This must mean that someone was purposely targeting them. Madeline immediately thought of Rowan. He must be doing this to get revenge for Annalise, and at the same time, he’s using this as leverage to force her to go along with the agreement.

Little did he know, Madeline hated being threatened the most.

“Announce the result of the selection of the Ambassador for Philanthropy immediately.” As the saying went, never jump into a battlefield without the confidence of claiming victory. If those from the Solace family were so great, they should go head to head with the newly-minted Ambassador for Philanthropy.

Soon, after the announcement by the Charity Association, news about Nadine Law being the new Ambassador for Philanthropy became a trending topic on the internet.

This newest addition who could shake up the industry immediately became the talk of the town. People were questioning her ability to take up the title of Ambassador for Philanthropy.

However, her identity was shrouded in mystery. People on the internet couldn’t find out much about her personal information.

At the same time, Annalise was furious when she learned about Nadine, who seemingly came out of nowhere. Her brother had made his move, which led her to believe that she would no doubt recapture the title of Ambassador for Philanthropy. Even if Madeline couldn’t stand her, she would have no choice but to shut up.

Annalise would smile from time to time when she imagined that scenario playing out in her head.

However, the Ambassador for Philanthropy title that should belong to her was now snatched away by some unknown girl, just like how Madeline had come from the countryside.

How could she swallow this humiliation!

“Ms. Solace, Madeline was really stepping over her line. She is really ganging up on you. This is why she simply chose anyone to be the Ambassador for Philanthropy!” Liam was flaming the fire on the side.

Annalise was indeed furious now. When Liam proposed to hire internet ghostwriters to attack Nadine and Madline with hate comments, she didn’t even bat an eyelid as she gave the green light.

When people finally realized that Nadine was not someone who was suited to the Ambassador for Philanthropy title, that title would return to her eventually!

After a while, news titles such as “Nadine’s messy personal life”, “Nadine’s sugar daddy revealed” and “Madeline and Nadine Have Shady Sponsors” became a hot topic.

People who didn’t know the truth were enjoying the scandal unfolding in front of their eyes. They wrote a lot of hate and vicious comments to berate Nadine and Madeline too.

In the Maple Forest villa, after checking that the public opinion was according to how she would imagine, Madeline readied herself to go fetch Mackenzie. She was in a merry mood.

However, the moment she opened the door, she bumped into Noah who had been missing for the whole day. He had a darkened expression on his face. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
