Chapter 32 What Else Is Owed?
The hallway of the hospital.
Noah was welcomed by Angie’s powerful screams the moment he stepped foot onto the floor of her ward.
He had never heard the meek woman make that kind of noise.
“It’s daylight robbery! A billion dollars! I can’t believe you’d demand that!
“And you want my company? Have you no shame?
“Get out! Get out of my room! Get out now!”
Behind Noah, Wayne rubbed his nose.
Judging by her thundering voice, Ms. Grant appeared alive and well.
The situation at the door seemed out of hand.
Madeline stood by the door while Albert tried his earnest to keep the door from closing. Looking disheveled, Angie menacingly pried open Albert’s fingers.
Noah went up and stood next to Madeline. With downcast eyes, he shifted his gaze past her heaving chest and onto the document in her hand. He narrowed his eyes. “You’re asking for a billion dollars in compensation?”
Keeping her head down, Madeline flicked the paper and replied in a flat tone, “What? Are you planning to pay for Ms. Angie?
“Aw~ It’s enviable that your relationship with Ms. Angie is going strong.”
Madeline fixated on Noah with her sultry eyes while handing the document over to him without qualms.
Noah took a glance at the paper, reading the woman’s greediness between the lines.
“Shareholding rights can be used to offset the damages in the event the person responsible has no means to pay?
“Madeline, are you trying to get a piece of Grant Corporation?”
Madeline was forthcoming with her intentions. “You’re a smart man, Mr. Quincy. It saves me time and effort to chat with you, but I’m sure the Quincies can reach into their deep pockets to save Grant Corporation.”

Noah, the thing that happened during the charity event is on me. The situation got out of hand because I didn’t manage my people well. I had no idea they would have the audacity to go behind my back and pull that stunt!”
Madeline jumped in. “Oh, my. Are you saying that our charitable princess was framed? It didn’t seem so.”
“Madeline, you…” Angie’s face turned pale from anger. Her eyes were about to roll to the back of her head as her body gave out.
“I’m talking to you. Don’t play dead. I’m not Mr. Quincy. The damsel in distress act doesn’t work on me. You were trying to kill me with your claws a minute ago. Look, my hand’s bleeding.”
Looking nervous, Madeline walked up and pricked Angie with a needle. Angle cried out in pain.
There was a bleeding scratch on Madeline’s hand. It irked Noah that Madeline flashed her arm around him.
Madeline was throwing shade at him.
How did she know that Angie loved to put up a fragile front before him?
With that in mind, Noah’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach.
Angie hated Madeline’s guts for stopping her fainting spell.
She wanted nothing more than to rip Madeline apart if Noah was not around.
“You got what you came here for, Ms. Grant. You should leave,” Noah said to end the war between the two women.
“No problem. I should leave you to catch up with your sister-in-law, Mr. Quincy.” Madeline smiled before turning on her heel and leaving.
Angie was hopping mad!
“Look at the woman, Noah!”
Angie was resentful. What did she mean by sister-in-law?
Noah was hers, to begin with!
All women with the name Madeline
should die for all she cared!
