Chapter 432 Hello, Mrs. Quincy!
"If this sort of incident can defeat him, I wouldn't need to sneak into the castle tonight." Madeline looked away afterward. She did not get any useful information, such as who the real culprit was for harming Thomas overseas, the death of Gordon, or even the relationship between Suzette and Joseph.
But it was worth the trip to ruin Fred's shady plan; she rescued the innocent girls and women, and she even got to know that Fred had a grudge against her mother.
"You should get to know Imperia better nowadays; after my film company is established, you should work there. Being a hacker is not a good long-term plan." She spoke firmly, but she respected Jacob's opinion too.
If Jacob was against it, she would assign another job for him to do. No one should be a hacker for life; they had to live life openly and dignifiedly at some point in their lives.
Jacob naturally understood her intention; it was just that he was worried about himself. He was worried that he could not get along with his colleagues at work.
Madeline had heard from Thomas about Jacob before, so she knew his concern when she saw him hesitating. "Currently, there is only you in the technical department of the company; we can recruit helpers for you if you need extra hands in the future."
Jacob's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded. "Thank you so much, Ms. Madeline; I'm willing to join your company."
Madeline nodded with a smile; whenever she had unresolved technical issues, she had to always go to Thomas.
But, recently, she felt that her three children were too mature for their age. She wanted them to enjoy their childhood, so she decided it was best for them not to get themselves involved at the moment.
The appearance of Jacob was right on time; he did her a huge favor, so she paid him considerably well.
"Ms. Madeline, someone is tailing us." Jacob suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
She glanced at the rear-view mirror, and there was indeed an Audi following them. W… Wait, four identical Audis were following us.
Each of the Audis blocked one side of Madeline's car—the front, the back, and both sides. They were completely surrounded by these cars.
Madeline motioned for Jacob to take a few turns along the way, but these cars were following them tightly. When they tried to bang onto one of the Audis, it actually avoided them and bumped into a flower bed.
It seemed like they were protecting them instead of planning to harm them.
"Ms. Madeline, I know there's a sharp turn in front; I'll speed up to get rid of them." Jacob was getting an adrenaline rush.
This road was the route leading from the suburbs to the city; if Jacob sped up in that turn hastily, some of the Audis might be thrown off the cliff directly.
"It's alright, they mean no harm." Madeline stopped him.
Jacob looked at her in puzzlement, but he pulled off to the side as Madeline told him to.
Just as Madeline expected, all the cars stopped moving at the same time, but no one got out of the Audis except those quietly waiting for them.
Madeline pushed open the car door; she intended to have a chat with them.
Jacob got out of the car nervously, and he brought a weapon given to him by Thomas down with him. It was a finger crossbow; a tiny, sharp arrow would be shot by pressing a switch. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The arrow might be tiny, but it was deadly. Just one shot to the throat, and it would fully penetrate it.
All the men from the four Audis got down the moment they saw Madeline coming down; they lined up and shouted, "Hello, Mrs. Quincy!"
I knew it! It's Noah!
She turned around angrily and returned to the car, asking Jacob to drive off quickly.
He came back to his senses, and he stepped hard on the accelerator.
At that moment, Joseph stood weakly in front of a window in the Rose Castle. He stared into the darkness, and he did not turn on the light in the room either. A figure walked up to him.
The person stood behind him and said hoarsely, "You're still sick; try not to stand in front of the window; you might catch a cold."
The person sounded caring and loving toward him.
Joseph broke into a cold smile, and he turned and looked at the person behind him with sarcasm.
"Aren't you the one controlling my health now?"
Joseph could not see the person clearly, but he could feel that his sharp gaze was fixed on him.
"If it weren't for your indecision, why would I do this?" "You have to know that anyone in this world might harm you, but I am the only one who treats you unconditionally!"
The person was getting agitated, and Joseph could feel that he was breathing on his face.
He took some steps back in disgust to distance himself from that man, and he snorted, "Don't forcefully use me as an excuse for your plan!"
"You! Your soul is being captivated by that b*tch! If you can't differentiate who's good for you; I'll capture Madeline for you now!"
"If you dare to harm her in any way, I'll f*cking kill you!" He glared murderously at him.
At that moment, he was not sure if he was being protective of Madeline due to their previous relationship or if he was merely having the urge to disobey the man in front of him.
"Okay, fine! You even dared to talk with me rudely because of her now; are you going to fight me because of her next time?"
Joseph regained his composure. "I'll get you what you want, but Madeline is very useful; destroying her won't do you any good."
The man in the dark snorted; he did not buy Joseph's words.
Joseph did not explain himself, but he reminded the man by saying, "Fred is not absolutely loyal to you. He did all those things for his own selfish desires. If something happens one day, he will kill you."
"I know it myself; don't you worry about me."
Joseph rolled his eyes secretly in the dark, and he refused to talk with the man. The man sighed and left.
The next morning, Madeline saw the news when she was sending her three children to school; she saw the news reporting the incident in Rose Castle.
There was no mention of Rose Castle in the news; it only reported that an insane human trafficker wanted to sell a dozen women into a faraway mountain.
It caused uproar on the internet; everyone was scolding the human trafficker.
