Chapter 17 Never Come Back
She was more than aware of the flow of the Grant family’s liquid assets!
400 million was not a small sum. Even if it were to be collected within the day, it would have to be through shady means.
That was why she brought up the Quincy family to attempt to convince Bruno.
“Can you really persuade Noah to marry you with the Global Ambassador title? I’ve seen the way he treats you throughout the years. That’s wishful thinking on your part. You forget a life still stands in between the Grant and Quincy family!”
Bruno saw through all of it. The one who caused the death of Gordon Quincy and betrayed Noah was someone from the Grant household!
Noah showed the Grants mercy for Angie’s sake but having them tie the knot again wouldn’t be easy!
Angie complained, “Don’t you have any faith in my charms, Dad? I’ve done so much charity in Mr. Gordon’s name. Noah might be a block of ice but he’d have to look my way at some point. I’ll definitely be a lady of the Quincy family!”
“Why don’t you ask Noah for the 400 million then? 400 million is a mere pocket change for them! Does he think it’s beneath his dignity?”
“Dad, these are critical times! How can I ask him?! What will he think of us if he finds out we don’t even have 400 million?! I don’t want a marriage with no dignity. Besides, he can’t find out about the charity committee or the persona I’ve worked so hard to create will be for nothing!”
“No! You can tell me that the world is ending tomorrow and the answer will still be no!”
That was because he did not have that much!
After Bruno made his decision, he stopped paying attention to Angie and went upstairs.
Angie was furious. Feelings of grief and indignation rushed over her.

“Yes, according to our men, he’s been gone for two or three hours. They’ve searched all over the mansion but he’s nowhere to be found.”
“How nice of him to disappear on his own accord. It’s a good thing if that little brat never returns! What of Noah?”
“Mr. Quincy is said to have gone to a residence in Westview on his way back. It’s unclear what for.”
“Go find out. The Grant’s lives are on the line. Nothing can go wrong!”
“Yes, Ms. Angie.”
Angie made a decisive decision, washed up, and left for the Quincy home.
She had to seize the opportunity to do what had to be done while that bastard child was gone!
This was all because of that woman!
She no longer had time to wait around!
She had to marry into the Quincy family right away to avoid the problems that came with the delay.
She idled in the car for a while and waited until word came from her men at the mansion that Noah would be back soon. She took an umbrella and got out of the car.
It was raining so hard that the umbrella didn’t work at all. Angie got wet as soon as she got out of the car.
Her soft, long skirt was instantly soaked. The rain beating on her face made her look pitiful.
“The rain is far too heavy, Ms. Angie. Allow me to escort you in!”
Ronald was worried for Angie who stood in the rain. He immediately got out of the car without an umbrella of his own but she mercilessly stared him down.
Noah’s vehicle rolled up when Angie arrived in front of the mansion.
Angie turned around, stumbled, and fell to the ground. Her umbrella was unceremoniously sent flying by the wind.
