Chapter 521 Quincy Family Is Fearless
"It’s you?" Wilbur exclaimed, staring at Madeline in shock.
From the way Wilbur sees it, women were the same. They circled around men for their own gain and were envious and covetous. His initial motivation for disclosing Noah and Wilda's relationship in the first place was to stir up trouble in Noah's home.
However, Wilbur did not expect that it would backfire.
Wilbur yelled, "I don’t care if you're jealous of Wilda and want to hurt her, but you can't do whatever you please with my family!"
Madeline gave him a look. Are you insane?
She then instructed Lone Wolf to gag him with a sock before tying Wilbur up on the bed. After all, the wealth of the Harvey family was the only thing on Wilbur's mind. It was a waste of time for Madeline to talk sense into him.
While Madeline was conversing with Wilbur, Shane returned to his initial demeanor. He was sitting upright in bed and gave Madeline a solemn look.
Madeline smiled gently and cast a quick glance at Shane. She asked, "Mr. Harvey, are you feeling better now?"
Shane frowned and kept quiet.
Madeline was unconcerned by his attitude, she continued, "Since you're feeling better, let's talk business."
"You won't find anything here. Leave Yashal now, "Shane uttered.
Instead of looking at Madeline, Shane turned to face Noah.
Madeline was upset by Shane's reaction.
Why is he looking at Noah as if he has power over me when this is my business?
"My wife is very naughty, Mr. Harvey. Please accept my apology," Noah replied flatly, rebutting Shane's words.
Noah gave off an expression that indicated, "My wife can do whatever she wants, don't be nosy."
Shane's face turned pale with anger. He believed Noah had humiliated him by not showing him any respect. His lips trembled due to the rage.
Madeline was concerned that Shane might experience a stroke. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Shane still refused to talk to Madeline and only looked at Noah. He said, "Mr. Quincy, you're harming her by spoiling her!"
Madeline was beyond words and glared at both Shane and Noah.
Noah innocently rubbed his nose and replied to Shane, "No one is capable of harming her."
Woah! What a domineering reply!
Madeline secretly gave Noah a thumbs-up for his confidence.
Shane roared, "Young man, you’re arrogant and ignorant!"
The old man became so enraged that he stood up and repeatedly stomped his cane on the ground.
Madeline rolled her eyes at him and rebuked, "You're not that great, your arrogance almost caused you to be murdered by your own son."
"You!"
Shane glared at Madeline. He did not appear to be particularly angry, but his eyes were full of complicated feelings.
Madeline disliked the way he looked at her. He practically gave her a look saying, I know a secret related to you, but I just wouldn't share it with you.
"I need you to calm down, Mr. Harvey. I'm not as outrageous as your son. I don't want your family's possessions. All I ask is that you explain your reason for not allowing my mother to keep me with the Harvey family all those years ago."
Shane's expression was momentarily frozen. Then he slumped back onto the bed and remained completely silent.
Madeline gave Lone Wolf a signal. Lone Wolf immediately played the video he had just recorded on his phone.
Shane watched it with a defeated expression but still refused to speak up.
"If Mr. Harvey continues to refuse to talk, I’ll spread this video all over the internet now. In less than ten minutes, the police will come here and take your son away. Once he enters the police station, I guarantee he won't be out in ten years," Madeline ruthlessly threatens Shane.
Seeing that Shane did not believe Madeline’s threat, Noah said, "You might not be aware that your son has engaged in several violent crimes over the years, including murder, kidnapping, and arson. At least eight victims are awaiting someone to pursue justice on their behalf."
Having said that, Noah handed Shane several documents outlining the wrongdoings Wilbur had committed.
Wilbur was terrified and drenched in perspiration as he lay tied to the bed. He begged his old man to save him as he began to nuzzle Shane's hand like a dog.
Shane gripped his chest tightly. He almost passed out before he finished going through the file.
Dylan rushed to his side and flashed Shane his work permit. He explained, "Don't worry, I may not be a miracle healer, but I can fix this kind of minor illness in minutes."
Shane received several shots from Dylan. Although Shane's eyes were still closed, his eyelids did flutter slightly.
Madeline took the situation into her own hands and said, "Mr. Harvey, you're really persistent."
She published the video where Wilbur threatened Shane while holding a knife to his throat.
The video went viral in less than a minute, sparking a huge uproar online.
When Wilbur saw that the video had been published on Madeline's phone, he had completely fallen apart. He was no longer eligible to inherit the family business after the video was made public.
He regretted not having acted sooner, and letting Madeline and her team save Shane. After all, Shane had lived a long life and had reached a ripe old age.
"Hmm…hmm…hmm!"
Wilbur squirmed and used his feet to kick Shane.
Shane continued to pretend to be unconscious. However, he could not keep up the act for long, as the tears in his eyes quickly gave away his disguise.
"Mr. Harvey, if you keep pretending to be unconscious, your precious granddaughter will be the next victim," Madeline coldly snorted.
Shane opened his eyes and stared angrily at Madeline. He chided, "Since you've come here, you should know your identity. Is this the attitude you should have toward me?"
Madeline asked rhetorically, "What attitude should I treat you with? Should I be grateful that you kicked my mother and me out of the house and indirectly caused her death?"
Madeline kept her eyes glued to Shane's face so she wouldn't miss any of his facial expressions.
Shane’s face was filled with grief, but even more so with disappointment toward Madeline. He said,
"If your mother were here, she wouldn't let you act like this."
"Stop stalling, and enough with the excuses. If you could just tell me what happened back then, I might consider leaving something behind for your family."
Madeline disliked sensational scenes because they made her uncomfortable, especially ones involving strangers.
Once more, Mr. Shane glared at Noah and reprimanded him, "Have you heard what she's saying? She's just holding onto some dirt about my family and acting like she can do whatever she wants. Aren't you worried that she'll cause problems for your family?"
Madeline was speechless, and she wanted to roll her eyes again.
Why couldn't he just talk to me nicely? Why did he always treat Noah like he was my dad and complain about me to him?
Noah was equally helpless. He did not want to be Madeline's father. He retorted, "You have to be kidding, Mr. Harvey. Is there anyone that Quincy's family would fear?"
Shane was rendered speechless by Noah's words. He thought Noah was a clear-headed and talented young man; he was surprised to learn that he was a man who was dominated by women.
"Are you going to tell me or not? My patience is wearing thin," Madeline urged Shane.
