Abusive Wife

Abusive Wife Chapter 146

Noah carefully removed her gauze, only for him to look up to find the woman furiously tapping away on her phone. There seemed to be a back-and-forth happening through texts. His

expression grew dark. He couldn’t help but exert more force than necessary with the cotton swab.

Madeline yelped in pain.

“Not so hard, Noah! It hurts!”

Noah didn’t speak, but immediately after, he did it again.

She now knew he was doing it of his own volition and put away her phone with great displeasure. “Are you doing that on purpose, Noah? Are you trying to kill me so you can take my children away?”

“Correct me if I’m wrong, Ms. Madeline.

Your children are also mine. They are a result of my efforts too, no?”

“What is wrong with you? I’m the victim here, and here you are picking on me. Are you having fun?”

“You’re the wounded one. And yet here you are fiddling with your phone. Are you done?” Noah kept a stern expression, but no more “mistakes” happened.

A thought struck her. Was he suspicious of her contacting Andy? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I’m an adult. What was wrong with me sending a text?

It’s not like I’m doing anything wrong.

Hold on, is this son of a b*tch jealous?

“Are you jealous, Noah?” Madeline was

interested to know his answer.

For some reason, the negative atmosphere Bruno had brought with him had disappeared.

“Jealousy is an emotion only lowly creatures experience. Do you think that’s something I experience?” Noah patiently cleaned the blood around her arm with more force than necessary.

Fortunately, he hadn’t pressed down on the wound this time. She’d have wondered if he actually wanted her dead!

“Why are you speaking in such a shady way and hurting me on purpose then? I wonder who it was who claimed I was his wife and then went right back to referring to me as Ms. Madeline? Relationships can be so fickle!”

She had likely hit the nail on the head as he kept his head down.

She deliberately played the role of a disappointed partner as she feebly leaned back against the cushions.

She played the part of a lovelorn

woman.

“So, you like it when I call you Mrs. Quincy?” He looked up at the petite woman and asked with interest.

The tone was warm and soft, with a hint of playful glee.

“Excuse me, Mrs. Quincy? That makes me sound old!” She protested in

awkward embarrassment and firmly denied it.

“What about my wife?”

“I’m still suffering in pain. Can you not take advantage of me right now?”

“This is what it means for me to take advantage of you, my darling wife!”

Noah didn’t hesitate to press a kiss against her lips.

Madeline’s face reddened.

Noah!

Both of Bruno’s arms were injured, leaving him looking as wretched as

ever.

He had wanted to hail a cab to the hospital to get his injuries treated but was suddenly accosted by multiple people shoving cameras in his face.

“Excuse me, did you just come out of the Maple Forest Villa? Why are you injured? Did a violent exchange happen?”

“What is your relationship with the Quincy’s?”

“Do you have disagreements with the lady of the Quincy family, Madeline Grant? Would you mind telling us?”

The reporters who were stationed outside the Maple Forest Villa saw Bruno as their messiah and immediately shot off questions one after another.

Bruno couldn’t care less about them. All he cared about was reaching the hospital but more reporters began to surround him.

All were journalists from major media platforms.

“Leave me alone. I need to go to the hospital.”

“Can you tell us how you got injured? Did the Quincy family hurt you?” They continued to trail after him with no intention of letting him go on his way.

He quickly realized they wouldn’t leave him alone no matter how heavily injured he seemed and changed his mind.

“You people want to know who I am? I’ll tell you! I am Bruno Grant, the president of Grant Corporation, and Madeline Grant’s biological father.”

“Ah, are you here to visit your daughter, Mr. Grant?”

“Are you aware of what had happened with the young Mrs. Quincy a few years ago? Are the rumors claiming she had come back to life true?”

Everyone was as excited as a pack of hounds who found their prey.

They had been crouching around for a while but the Maple Forest Villa and Noah’s vehicles were always heavily guarded. No one could get close.

They were more than happy to meet Bruno.

“You can interview me if you want but as you can see, I’m injured. If any media outlet is willing to take me to the hospital, I’ll consider accepting the interview…”

He struck while the iron was hot and revealed his true purpose.

Sure enough, someone immediately drove in and waited for him to get into the car.

He very nonchalantly instructed the journalists from Orange Entertainment who sent him to the hospital, to help him register, pay the bill and arrange for hospitalization.

He had even extorted a meal out of them.

There was more than enough food and drink to go around while he lay in the ward. The cameras were quickly set up after he ushered Orange Entertainment in. After everything was in place, he faced the camera, put on a sick and weak front, and started acting.

“I won’t lie to you. My daughter, Madeline, who is also the young lady of the Quincy family, is indeed back. She’s doing well. Noah also loves her dearly but I…her father… Ah…”

He sighed and pretended to wipe away

nonexistent tears.

“Are you trying to say Mrs. Quincy isn’t treating you well, Mr. Grant? Was she the one who allowed your assault?”

Orange Entertainment could smell the gossip from a mile away the moment they caught Bruno’s sadness.

“She hadn’t done it on purpose. I was the one in the room.” He lowered his head and sighed once more.

Anyone could see that he was trying to “protect” Madeline from his pitiful

stance.

“Mrs. Quincy actually had someone assault you? That’s awful. Who on earth would throw her injured father out into the streets?” Orange Entertainment’s Shawn Smith was a rash young man who had just

joined the industry. He

couldn’t help but express his negative opinion of Madeline!

Several others also nodded in

agreement.

This was a live broadcast where everyone else’s voices were heard loud and clear.

Orange Entertainment’s live stream experienced a surge in traffic!

What Bruno was aiming for the entire time was for the journalists to express their emotions. He prearranged

everything. He was teary-eyed when he looked back up.

This succeeded in making him look old and pathetic.

“She’s free to disown me, but I can’t disown her. She will always be my

precious daughter!”
