Chapter 482: You Are Our Younger Sister

"Right, why were you guys beaten up? We have the president of the Quinton Corporation and two heirs of the Solace Corporation. Who would dare to offend all of you?" Dylan asked curiously.

Everyone's eyes fell upon Rowan and Oscar.

Rowan was the first to speak, and Rowan explained, "Two days ago, we received news that something happened to Annalise, so we hurried over to an old warehouse on the outskirts. Oscar and I thought that Annalise had been kidnapped. However, we were suddenly intercepted, and we were knocked unconscious. Then, we were taken to an underground basement."

"Then, did you find Annalise?" Madeline asked.

Noah held Madeline's hand, signaling Madeline to calm down.

Rowan shook his head, "When the person gave us a call, we were certain that we heard Annalise. However, we did not find Annalise at all after arriving at the place."

"We suspect that Annalise is in grave danger." Oscar added.

Madeline nodded in agreement. The opponents kidnapped Rowan and Oscar to find someone that could be used to threaten Madeline. Annalise had a poor relationship with Madeline, which was something that everyone knew. In the end, Annalise did not have any value aside from luring out Rowan and Oscar.

"Oscar and I called the police as soon as we woke up. The address we dropped is an apartment under my name. I had sent people from the Solace family to head to the place."

Rowan had a thorough plan, and Rowan did not want to tell this matter to Steve, so Rowan could not leave the address of Sunshine Villa.

"I will also get my men to search for Annalise's whereabouts." Noah glanced at Madeline.

"Thank you very much." Rowan expressed his gratitude earnestly because Rowan knew the person kidnapping them had a formidable background. The police might not be able to find out anything. Rowan also brought limited men with him, so the search progress was inadequate.

However, it was different for Noah. Noah was the local tyrant of Imperia, with many connections and intelligence sources. If Noah wanted to find someone, it would be much easier than Rowan and Oscar.

"What happened later? Why was Mia kidnapped too?" Madeline asked.

It wasn't that Madeline did not bother whether Annalise was alive or dead. Instead, Noah told Madeline that after encountering Mia, Noah realized that this matter was related to Annalise's disappearance, so Noah sent people to find Mia.

"This is our fault. We made them think that you're the granddaughter of the Solace family." As the topic moved on to Mia, the eyes of Rowan and Oscar were filled with guilt.

Madeline puzzledly locked eyes with Noah, and Madeline asked, "How did they mistake me as the granddaughter of the Solace family?"

Steve wanted to have Madeline as his goddaughter in the past, but that did not happen in the end. How could a goddaughter have the same status as the real granddaughter?

Rowan looked around vigilantly, and Rowan did not speak up.

Seeing this, Wayne tacitly brought Dylan and Albert out of the room.

The room was only left with Noah, Madeline, and the Solace brothers.

"Relax, it's safe here." Noah was reassured after noticing Rowan's worry about eavesdropping.

However, Rowan stared at Noah, refusing to speak up.

"I can't listen too?" Noah frowned, revealing a hint of agitation in his eyes.

Rowan nodded firmly. The matter was too important, and Rowan could not let Noah know about it.

Noah looked at Madeline, and Madeline calmly told Noah, "You should leave first."

"I'm your husband. There's nothing that I shouldn't know." Noah refused to leave because Noah wanted to know everything about Madeline.

"Having more people know about this will put Madeline in another possible danger. Mr. Quincy, are you sure you want to stay?" Oscar retorted abruptly with a harsh tone.

Noah clenched his teeth. It was a trap. If Noah insisted on staying, that would be disregarding Madeline's safety.

"Please get out. We don't have much time." Madeline pulled Noah away, and Madeline pushed Noah outside the room.

Noah looked at Madeline despondently and disappointed before Noah turned around to leave. Madeline felt uneasy by Noah's gaze as if Madeline was the disloyal one who abandoned the family.

After closing the door, only Madeline and the Solace brothers were left in the room now.

"Speak what's in your mind." Madelin spoke up.

Oscar glanced around suspiciously, "Are there any listening devices in this room?"

Madeline shook her head, "I have turned them off."

That means there are listening devices here.

"Are you sure?" Oscar did not fully trust Madeline.

Madeline nodded firmly, "I have personally turned it off. Don't worry."

Before Madeline entered the room, Madeline realized their conversation could not be leaked, so Madeline disabled the surveillance.

The Solace brothers looked at each other. Only then, Rowan raised his head to look at Madeline as he spoke, "You said earlier that this matter started with you, but actually, it started with the Solace family."

The first sentence already shocked Madeline. If these matters started with the Solace family, why did the events revolve around Madeline? What was Madeline's relationship with the Solace family?

Rowan seemed to have guessed Madeline's doubts, and Rowan continued, "You're our younger sister, and you're also the granddaughter of the Solace family."

At the start, Rowan did not want to reveal this matter so soon to Madeline because the Solace family could only recognize Madeline as the adopted granddaughter. The Solace brothers were afraid that Madeline would overthink it.

However, the sudden event forced the Solace brothers' hand to reveal this matter to Madeline earlier.

"How can that be? I'm supposed to be Bruno's…" No, Madeline was not Bruno's daughter.

Madeline was stunned for a moment.

"This is absolutely true. When I was in Uranica, I secretly took hair samples from you and the children for a paternity test." Rowan explained nervously.

Shocking news came one after another. Madeline seemed unable to digest the information. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Then, is Annalise my younger sister?"

"No, she is not from the Solace family. Annalise impersonated you back then, and we haven't figured out her goal." Rowan answered.

Madeline had many questions, but Madeline calmed down quickly. The most pressing issue was the kidnap case, so Madeline asked, "Why do you mean this matter didn't start with me?"

"You're not the trigger for these events, but our mother. She had something that everyone wanted. More than twenty years ago, she forced the Solace family to flee to Uranica and then disappeared with that item."

"Is that item related to the lucky charm?" Madeline's heart raced as she got closer to the truth about the lucky charm.

Rowan nodded, "Originally, the matter happened over twenty years ago, and nobody brought it up again. However, recently, someone leaked the news that the item resurfaced, which was why the members of the Solace family were targeted again. To be more precise, they were looking for our mother's daughter."

The daughter of the Solace brother's mother was Madeline!

"These people kidnapped Annalise, and they probably did some experiments on Annalise. Then, they realized Annalise was not our mother's daughter, and they used Annalise to lure us into the trap. We

refused to reveal your identity, so they traced it back to us investigating Mia. Then, they kidnapped Mia."

Rowan thought about the harm Mia had suffered, and Rowan felt guilty.
