Chapter 27
It’s the mysterious woman!
Noah did not agree to walk the red carpet with Angie despite her begging multiple times. How did that despicable woman end up by his side?
“Mr. Quincy’s partner looks beautiful!”
“Yes, they make a wonderful pair!”
“I heard the lady came in on a helicopter!”
“I wonder which family she belongs to. I’m so jealous!”
“She must be from a wealthy family, or she wouldn’t be mingling with Noah Quincy. He didn’t even oblige Ms. Grant on the red carpet!”
Angie was about to be drivenDamn Madeline! Why are all women named Madeline so hateful! Angie thought to herself. She wished she could go up to the woman and give her a tight slap on the cheek, making sure to scratch that beautiful skin of hers as well. However, she was well aware of the venue and circumstance she was in. She had to remain calm in front of all the media and cameras.
crazy from all the unending chatter about Noah and the other woman. The bitch stole her money and was trying to steal her man now. How dare she?! She was raging with fury, yet unable to do anything except clench her fists angrily.
She quickly tamped down her anger, replacing it with a warm smile before she walked toward Noah Quincy. “Noah, you’re here! I thought you would take a while more,” she gently teased Noah as she moved to his side and put her arm through his, nudging Madeline out of the way.

Madeline willed her racing heart to calm down as she tried to act as normally as she could. She took her phone out and snapped a candid photo of Noah and Angie from the side.
“Madeline, what do you think you’re doing?” Noah’s gaze never left her, his voice deep and cold.
“You have a very handsome side profile, Noah. I couldn’t help myself!” Madeline pouted innocently, hoping to erase Noah’s suspicions. Noah only remained silent.
“Noah, would you want the photo? You could add me on Instagram,” Madeline offered.
“There’s no need,” Noah replied curtly.
Noah was absolutely unobliging, which made Angie very pleased on the inside. That wench was blatantly trying to seduce Noah in front of her, only for her plan to fail spectacularly.
“Next up, the recipient for the Global Ambassador of Philanthropy award is none other than our Princess of Charity, Ms. Angie Grant!” the emcee announced jubilantly.
As applause rang out from every corner of the ballroom, Angie stood up and thanked the well-wishers around her. A picture of confidence and grace, she gathered her skirt as she made her way to the stage.
The emcee announced the award presenter as none other than Noah Quincy. He stood up and escorted Angie up the stage. With the spotlight on them, he presented the award to a delighted Angie. This may truly be the happiest moment of her life, save for one thing. She had to grab the opportunity right now.
Armed with courage after receiving her award, she grabbed hold of Noah’s arm as well as the emcee’s microphone simultaneously. Noah was not particularly pleased with Angie’s brazenness, but he let it go knowing the crowd was paying attention to their every move.
“Thank you everyone for coming out tonight for this wonderful occasion. This award is truly a huge honor for me. On this joyous day, I’d like to take the opportunity to also announce…. aaaahhhh!!” Angie’s scream pierced through the air.
Midway through her announcement, a vat of red liquid was thrown in her direction. Before she knew it, she was drenched from top to toe in red paint. She was too stunned to react.
