Chapter 536 What Business Do You Have With Her

“He’s taking a bath,” Lone Wolf explained while his brows shot up.

Wilda glared at him while her cheeks blushed, “Why is he taking his bath in your room?”

“What do you think?” Lone Wolf immediately shut the door after saying that.

He secretly cursed Noah in his heart, What the hell are you guys talking about behind my back? And you are taking so long! If Wilda can’t find Madeline’s whereabouts, you will get exposed then!

Since Wilda could not meet Noah, she really went to look for Madeline. She was planning to make Madeline get lost before Canary and Sean noticed anything strange.

Not only Wilda wanted Madeline to get lost, but she also wanted to give her a good beating too so that she could vent her frustrations. However, she could not just hit Madeline in front of everyone. She needed to make sure Madeline was out of this place, and she would stuff a sack over her head before launching her punches. That way, Madeline had no way to know who was the one who actually hit her.

However, she did not find Madeline anywhere in the whole residence. When she thought about how Madeline had disappeared at the same time Noah had disappeared, a strong uneasy feeling enveloped her.

“Butler, ask that waitress to come out now. Do it now!” Wilda screamed at the butler.

The butler knew very well about Wilda’s disposition. Wilda always put on a gentle facade, but behind the scenes, Wilda always ordered the maids and butlers around to serve her. If she was not in a great mood, she would even vent her anger at her poor maids.

Those maids and butlers would not be able to endure her temper if it were not for the lucrative salary that they were receiving by working here.

The butler did not dare to argue with Wilda, so he immediately led the other maids to look for Madeline. However, after going through every nook and cranny, they could not find Madeline.

“Ms. Harvey, could she have fled because she’s afraid of you?”

“You said she could have fled? The maids here earn double the amount that other maids earn, do you think she would just run away like this? Didn’t you see just now that in order to stay here, she has humiliated me in front of so many?” Wilda shot a resentful look at the butler.

“You useless bunch! You can’t even complete such an easy task. Remind me again why am I paying you so much?”

The butler was already in his fifties, yet he still needed to face Wilda’s unruly behavior, so he could not help but feel dejected. However, he put on a flattering look when he faced Wilda again.

“Don’t get so worked up now. As long as she did not leave this place yet, it must mean that she is somewhere in the residence. Let us look for her again.”

The butler immediately disappeared from Wilda’s sight, and in just a moment, she discovered Madeline in the corridors on the third floor. He immediately called out to Madeline, “What are you doing here now? Everyone is looking for you like crazy!”

“He’s toking o both,” Lone Wolf exploined while his brows shot up.

Wildo glored ot him while her cheeks blushed, “Why is he toking his both in your room?”

“Whot do you think?” Lone Wolf immediotely shut the door ofter soying thot.

He secretly cursed Nooh in his heort, Whot the hell ore you guys tolking obout behind my bock? And you ore toking so long! If Wildo con’t find Modeline’s whereobouts, you will get exposed then!

Since Wildo could not meet Nooh, she reolly went to look for Modeline. She wos plonning to moke Modeline get lost before Conory ond Seon noticed onything stronge.

Not only Wildo wonted Modeline to get lost, but she olso wonted to give her o good beoting too so thot she could vent her frustrotions. However, she could not just hit Modeline in front of everyone. She needed to moke sure Modeline wos out of this ploce, ond she would stuff o sock over her heod before lounching her punches. Thot woy, Modeline hod no woy to know who wos the one who octuolly hit her.

However, she did not find Modeline onywhere in the whole residence. When she thought obout how Modeline hod disoppeored ot the some time Nooh hod disoppeored, o strong uneosy feeling enveloped her.

“Butler, osk thot woitress to come out now. Do it now!” Wildo screomed ot the butler.

The butler knew very well obout Wildo’s disposition. Wildo olwoys put on o gentle focode, but behind the scenes, Wildo olwoys ordered the moids ond butlers oround to serve her. If she wos not in o greot mood, she would even vent her onger ot her poor moids.

Those moids ond butlers would not be oble to endure her temper if it were not for the lucrotive solory thot they were receiving by working here.

The butler did not dore to orgue with Wildo, so he immediotely led the other moids to look for Modeline. However, ofter going through every nook ond cronny, they could not find Modeline.

“Ms. Horvey, could she hove fled becouse she’s ofroid of you?”

“You soid she could hove fled? The moids here eorn double the omount thot other moids eorn, do you think she would just run owoy like this? Didn’t you see just now thot in order to stoy here, she hos humilioted me in front of so mony?” Wildo shot o resentful look ot the butler.

“You useless bunch! You con’t even complete such on eosy tosk. Remind me ogoin why om I poying you so much?”

The butler wos olreody in his fifties, yet he still needed to foce Wildo’s unruly behovior, so he could not help but feel dejected. However, he put on o flottering look when he foced Wildo ogoin.

“Don’t get so worked up now. As long os she did not leove this ploce yet, it must meon thot she is somewhere in the residence. Let us look for her ogoin.”

The butler immediotely disoppeored from Wildo’s sight, ond in just o moment, she discovered Modeline in the corridors on the third floor. He immediotely colled out to Modeline, “Whot ore you doing here now? Everyone is looking for you like crozy!”

“Why are you guys looking for me?” Madeline put on an innocent look.

The butler stared at her for a moment before letting out a sigh, “Ms. Harvey is looking for you, so you better go downstairs now. You can go down by taking that elevator. You should just say that because you’re afraid of her punishment, you were hiding somewhere in the building. If you still want to retain your job here, you shouldn’t talk back to her no matter how she scolds you later.”

Madeline approved of the butler’s practical and honest opinion, so she responded with a nod. Then, she turned around and began to descend the stairs.

The butler grabbed her arm, “Why don’t you listen to me? If you really get into a quarrel with Ms. Harvey now, she might even beat you up.”

“She’s going to beat me up?” Madeline pretended to be shocked to learn such a fact.

The butler did not want to drag out their exchange, so she urged her to quickly take another route.

“Mr. Harvey is the one who summoned me here. I still need to boil some tea for him, you know,” Madeline interrupted the butler who was desperately trying to get Madeline to go downstairs.

The butler hesitated before saying, “Then, you go boil some tea for him first. Come down with him later on.”

“Alright.” Madeline’s footsteps were light as she made her way to Shane’s room.

When she knocked on the door, Shane was reprimanding Wilbur, and he only stopped doing that when he saw Madeline. Wilbur was very quiet as he had no words to refute Shane at all.

“I’m done with this. You can get lost now!”

Wilbur shot a look at Madeline before exiting the room.

Madeline scratched her nose and thought that Shane was really a petty person. She had simply claimed that Shane was suffering from a terminal illness, and because of that Shane decided to invite her to see him scolding Wilbur, all so that Wilbur would hold a grudge against Madeline.

However, she did not mind that Wilbur was the one holding a grudge against her. She did not take him seriously at all.

After Wilbur was gone, Shane did not say anything for some time. He was simply glaring at Madeline.

Madeline was happy to let this stall out. If he did not want to speak, she too would do the same.

“It seems that that brat from the Quincy family is quite capable,” Shane scoffed, and there was sarcasm in his voice.

Madeline nodded to show her approval, and from his response, she knew that Mia and the gang were able to escape his graph scot-free.

“It will do more good than bad by cooperating with us.”

If Shane decided to team up with those from Camperia, he would have done his utmost best to trap all of them in this building. It would be very hard for Mia and the gang to leave as easily as they had left.

It was clear now that Shane had chosen to side with Madeline. In the morning, they were simply putting on a show to fool those that came from Camperia to spy on them.

They would think that Shane was still with them if they trusted what they saw.

“If you guys are not able to protect the Harvey family later on, don’t blame me for severing familial ties,” Shane’s eyes look like those of the hawks as he stared intensely at Madeline.

If any ordinary person were to meet his eyes, they would probably shudder. However, Madeline was someone who had gone through so much, and she was not even afraid of death. She was unfazed in front of Shane right now.

Shane was at least satisfied that Madeline was still not too hard to control.

“Send your three kids to me.”

“Are you thinking of holding them as hostages? Take my advice now, you will regret your decision,” Madeline saw first-hand one too many times how those brats at home were able to kick up mass destruction.

Shane glared at her, “They are still my grandkids no matter what.”

Madeline knew that he was trying to have some backup plan by using those kids. On one hand, he could continue to fool those from Camperia and create a false sense of security, and on the other hand, he could make them hostages so that he had some security measures against Madeline and Noah.

However, that would have to depend on Shane being able to control those kids.

“Alright, if you wish to see them so much.”

Shane was feeling uneasy as he saw how smug and confident Madeline looked. However, he still forced himself to call the butler.

A few minutes later, the butler came over with the three children. Wilda, who was furious, was with them as well.

“Why are you here? Do you know how much time I’ve spent looking for you?” Wilda glared at Madeline.

The three kids who were drooping their heads all looked up simultaneously when they heard Wilda.

Madeline gave them a signal with her eyes so that they would not create unnecessary trouble and make them more at ease. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for Wilda to leave this room unscathed.

“Mr. Harvey wanted me to come here to boil some tea for him. Do you have business with me, Ms. Harvey?” Madeline asked.

When Wilda saw that apprehensive look in Shane’s eyes, she knew that she could not just kick up a fuss just yet. She forced herself to hold back, “I have something to talk to you about. Come with me.”

Madeline did not move from her spot. She turned her gaze at Shane.

Shane had no choice but to speak up, “I have an errand that I need her to help me with. Go look for someone else.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Grandpa, I really need to talk to her now,” Wilda could not allow herself to just let Madeline off the hook like this.

“What business do you have with her?” Shane began to feel upset because it was rare for Wilda to defy him.
