Chapter 516 Stay Away From Me
Madeline followed Mia to the room where Gabriel and the others were. She saw Elise applying medicine to Gabriel.
Dylan sat next to the two of them and glared at them. Dylan’s eyes were burning with rage.
When they saw Madeline arrive, both of them nervously avoided her gaze.
"You three can go inside and stay with them. I'll come over in a bit," Madeline instructed.
She let the children go into the room. She did not have time to ask them what they had been up to, but their guilty expressions gave away that they had caused trouble.
Fortunately, things were chaotic for the Harvey family right now. The Harvey family wouldn't suspect them as long as they insisted the kids had been with Mia and the others the entire time.
"Maddie, have you seen Noah? He has been gone for some time. I hope nothing's happened to him," Dylan asked Madeline.
Dylan had bruises all over his face.
Madeline gave him a cold look, she did not answer his question. She left after requesting that Mia watch the kids.
"Noah's here. Why doesn't Maddie seem pleased to see him? Did I do something wrong? Why is she giving me that kind of stare?" Dylan muttered quietly, hoping to get Elise's attention.
Elise did not even flinch, as she was totally preoccupied with caring for Gabriel.
Dylan felt uneasy. He grabbed that cotton swab from Elise and said, "Let me do it. You go take care of the children."
"Give it back to me," Elise refused.
She did not want to talk to Dylan, much less allow Gabriel to be tortured. Dylan was startled by her cold gazed and gave the cotton swab back to her.
"What did I do wrong? Why is everyone staring at me like that?"
He wanted to hug Thomas for consolation, but Thomas glared at him and ran away.
Dylan wondered, what's going on?
Madeline immediately went to the kitchen after leaving the room. She pretended to be a purchaser who was getting ready to leave the villa, but a guard at the door stopped her.
"The order has been given by Mr. Harvey. No one is permitted to leave the villa, "said the guard.
"I work in the kitchen. I must purchase more ingredients because we are running low," Madeline explained.
"Give me a list, and I'll send someone to buy them and bring them over," the guard replied.
Madeline was compelled to leave after he waved his hand in dismissal. She kept her head down the whole time, so the guard did not get a good look at her face.
As expected, Shane was aware of everything that happened in the villa. Therefore, he immediately blocked the villa to control public opinion after he learned about any scandal.
This was a good thing for Madeline. Originally, she was thinking about how to stay overnight and searched her mother's room. Now, she no longer needs to think of an excuse.
At that time, Madeline thought that the fire was the only thing that had happened at the villa. She was curious as to why Noah was deliberately approaching Wilda, so she wanted to go upstairs and investigate.
She then came across Lone Wolf, who had just emerged from Shane's study. He had something in his arms.
"What did you find?" Madeline asked curiously as she saw him try to hide it.
"Nothing," Lone Wolf denied, pretending to be ignorant.
"We should return to the first floor if you didn't find anything. It's easy to arouse suspicion when you're alone," Madeline told him.
She had no intention of prying into what he was hiding. She knew Lone Wolf would never divulge information he did not want to.
"The Harvey family is incredibly lively right now. I heard that Mr. Harvey was so livid that he passed out," Lone Wolf said with a chuckle.
Madeline frowned and asked, "Besides the fire, what else happened?"
"You don't know?" Lone Wolf asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise. Then, he opened his phone screen and showed her a video.
Madeline saw nothing, because that video was heavily pixelated. However, she could guess that something mind-blowing had happened from those pixelations.
"It was not pixelated when I watched it just now. They’re quick to respond, it's pixelated now. I guess it won't be viewable in a few minutes," Lone Wolf remarks and regrettably shakes his head.
"What exactly happened?" Madeline asked. She had a hunch that this incident was related to them.
Then Lone Wolf played a different video. The children were clearly seen on surveillance footage committing the crime, even Wilbur was seen dragging that man into the room.
Madeline was furious. The three little troublemakers had caused a huge mess.
"What's with that expression? The kids did you a favor. You should be happy. Don't you know Mr. Wilbur wants to set up Mr. Quincy by putting Wilda on his bed?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Lone Wolf grinned. He was obviously taking pleasure in the chaos.
Madeline paid little attention to this crap. She asked, "Who shot the video? How did it leak?"
"It was most likely shot by the man Mr. Wilbur dragged into the room. It was filmed with a pinhole camera. It's possible that someone watching the video on the other end saw this explosive scene and broadcast it online, "Lone Wolf gave an explanation.
Madeline immediately called Albert and instructed him to delete all the news related to the Harvey family online.
"Mr. Quincy has already ordered it," Albert replied.
Madeline experienced a prickling pain in her heart. Then she sent Jacob a message requesting that he remove all of the surveillance footage evidence that was present, including the recordings from Lone Wolf's phone.
"Pretty lady, do you need help? If you ask me nicely, I'll help you to get the kids out of this mess," Lone Wolf teased as he followed Madeline around.
Madeline ignored him, but Lone Wolf continued to follow her, which irritated her like a swarm of buzzing flies.
"You're supposed to be a cold-blooded killer, right? Why are you talking so much?"
"I guess this killer isn't that cold," Lone Wolf replied, unfazed.
Madeline was at a loss for words and quickened her pace.
Lone Wolf followed closely behind her and said with a playful smile, "Pretty lady, I think Mr. Quincy is probably interested in Wilda. Seriously, are you not going to think about being with me? Don't worry, I’m more faithful than him. You will be the only person I look at in this lifetime. If I do as much as touch another woman with my finger, you can chop it off and I won't say a word."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from his right, "Why don't I chop them off right now?"
Lone Wolf felt a gust of strong wind blowing toward him before he could turn around. He barely avoided the attack by swinging in the air with his gold threads. His head would have exploded if that punch had struck him.
Lone Wolf teased, "Mr. Quincy, why did you come here instead of comforting your pretty lady?"
Instead of speaking, Noah simply started throwing Lone Wolf a few more punches. Soon, Lone Wolf's eye was swollen from the beating.
"Holy crap! Are you really battling with me?"
After dodging a few attacks, Lone Wolf became increasingly frustrated and started to fight back.
Before going to Shane's study, Madeline stayed and watched for a while.
Noah quickly caught up with her. He tried to grab Madeline's hand, but she evaded him and coldly said, "Stay away from me."
"You have to listen to my explanation," Noah hurriedly explained.
He dealt with Wilda's situation quickly and came to Madeline because he was worried that she would misunderstand. Noah could tell she was upset because of the way she was acting.
Didn't we agree to trust each other earlier?
Noah felt hurt because Madeline did not even have the most basic level of trust in him.
Am I the kind of man to accept any woman who throws themselves at me?
"Noah, please just stay away from me," Madeline said sternly.
She paused her steps and glared at him seriously.
Noah felt a ferocious thump in his heart, he had bad feelings about this. He wanted to explain further.
At this time, Wilda's voice came from somewhere nearby, and she said, "Mr. Quincy, I need your help."
