Aggresive Wife

CHAPTER 579 - XANDER?
“What were you two doing in the bar? Talk!” Natalia commanded as she sat on a high chair with the children standing beside her.
It was a rather imposing sight indeed.
Olivia didn’t recognize Natalia, but she immediately realized who the three children were. Her hatred for the children of the
Quincy family ran deep so even if they were wearing masks, she could tell who they were.
The two boys and their sister did everything together, after all.
“So it was you, Madeline! What do you think you’re doing? I can sue you for holding me against my will!” Olivia shot Natalia a
vicious glare.
Natalia was at a loss for words as she thought, ‘How on earth do I look like Madeline? I wish I had that sexy bod.’
Ezra was a little frightened initially, but upon hearing that the other party was Madeline, he felt a little braver. With Madeline’s
identity revealed, he guessed that she wouldn’t dare treat him too poorly. Even though his grandfather was short with him at the
moment, he was still his oldest grandson. If anything were to happen to him, his grandfather would definitely get back at
Madeline for it.
“Ahem. Release me, and I’ll forget about what happened today,” Ezra ordered. He didn’t dare make too difficult of a request,
aware that he didn’t have the upper hand in this situation.
Natalia laughed in response, then landed a fist right on Ezra’s nose. The latter screamed, “My nose! You broke my naturally tall
nose! Now everyone’s going to say I had it done!” His main complaint was peculiar indeed.
“Out with it. What did you do?! If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll release the dogs and let them handle your cosmetic procedure.”
Colton gave a nod to his siblings and they proceeded to hover around their hostages making weird noises.
The itch and pain on his head had traumatized Ezra, and he was completely terrified of these kids. He quickly spilled out
everything, with no concern for his broken nose, “She asked me to find a drug, so I did. Then, she had me find a couple guys to
beat up Madeline and Noah while they were knocked out by the drug.”

“Was there anything else?” Natalia narrowed her eyes as she pondered over the testimony that made no mention of her name.
Ezra nervously shook his head, “That was it. I was only pissed that I got punished by my grandfather because of the two of them.
I just wanted to teach them a lesson. I wasn’t planning on doing anything else.”
“And what about you?” Natalia asked Olivia. She was almost positive that she was the one behind her getting drugged.
“I’m innocent!” Olivia feigned ignorance.
Mackenzie pulled Natalia aside, then stepped forward with her brothers. Using the interrogation tactics they had secretly learned
from Wayne, they got Olivia to spill the beans on everything in no time at all.
Meanwhile, Ezra was horrified to learn that Olivia had set up Natalia. He thought, ‘Damn this Olivia bitch is wild. Even I would
have to think twice before touching Natalia Law, but she actually wanted to have her violated. Goddamn, don’t drag me into your
mess if you’re tired of living!’
“I have nothing to do with this. I don’t know a single thing! Please let me go. I promise I won’t tell my grandfather you hit me,”
Ezra begged, completely frightened.
Olivia raised her head and declared, “I dare you to kill me, Madeline! I swear, even if I become a ghost, I’ll haunt you for the rest
of eternity!”
“You crazy bitch! Leave me out of your suicidal attempts!” said Ezra as he angrily kicked Olivia.
Natalia was at a loss for words looking at the two of them tussling.
She had her servants tie the two together, then dumped them along with their “testifying statements” right outside the police
station. She wasn’t worried about the authorities being fearful of the Gillian family and taking it easy on Ezra, as the “statement”
had mentioned her name explicitly. She trusted that the police would act accordingly knowing this.
Even though the matter was settled, Colton still had a tense look on his face. They had gotten Olivia and Ezra to spill out every

single detail of their plan, but there was still no mention of the woman that was in their father’s embrace.
This meant that she wasn’t sent by Olivia.
“Okay, it’s time to go home.” Natalia was worried something else was going to happen with these mischievous children around,
so she quickly had them escorted back to Maple Forest Villa.
When they reached Maple Forest Villa, Noah and Madeline still hadn’t returned, causing Natalia to be somewhat concerned.
Inside the bar, Madeline had finally caught up to the man who ran away with ‘Madeline’. She yelled, “Wait!”
Hearing the voice, the man quickly came to a stop. He placed the person on his shoulder and took off her mask. Realizing that
this person had simply disguised herself to look like Madeline, he turned and looked in confusion at the woman who chased after
him.
Madeline removed her mask and smiled at the man, “That person isn’t me.”
The man standing before her was none other than Xander.
Xander felt great relief and handed the woman he was carrying over to one of the wait staff.
“What are you doing here? I’ve been trying to find you this whole time, but I can’t seem to reach you,” Madeline never forgot how
Xander had shielded her with his life during that incident at the apartment. It was because of him that she was able to go on
ahead and save Thomas.
After the dust settled, she felt worried for Xander and had searched for him everywhere, but she couldn’t find any leads.
Xander smiled wryly, “I live right by your house.”
“Maple Forest Villa?” Madeline fell into thought for a moment. Then, she frowned, looking like she had figured something out.

“I’m just glad to see you’re okay. I initially followed you guys over to the bar because I wanted to talk to you about Tristan. But
then I stumbled on you and Noah getting into trouble, so I quickly chased after you. What actually happened?”
“I’m not too sure on the specifics either. My guess is that someone was trying to come after Noah and I. Too bad for them, Noah
found out about their scheme beforehand and the whole thing went up in smoke,” Madeline replied.
“Then I must have gotten in the way of your plans,” Xander remarked apologetically.
Madeline waved her hand, “You didn’t get in the way of anything. The plan had fallen through to begin with.”
‘It was all Noah’s fault anyway.’
“Are you alright? How are your wounds?” Noticing Xander’s pale expression, Madeline quickly helped him over to one of the
seats inside a quiet booth.
Despite looking pale as a ghost and his face drenched in cold sweat, Xander shook his head and pretended to be fine. “You
should head back. If Mr. Noah sees this, he’ll get the wrong idea again.”
“He’s the one stopping me from finding you, isn’t he? He gets a little petty these days. I hope you can forgive him.”
Xander could tell from Madeline’s tone that even though she was angry at Noah, she still wanted to protect him. Xander’s heart
sank as he thought, ‘So I was too late after all.’
“I’m glad to see you’re both getting along well.”
“How are you feeling? Do you feel sick anywhere?” Madeline could sense something was wrong with his expression and went
closer to touch his forehead. As she suspected, he was having a fever.
“I’m fine. Here’s my address. Let’s talk again when we get the chance,” Xander said as he got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing how shaky his footsteps were, Madeline hurried over to support him, “Let me take you to a hospital.”

Xander had wanted to decline, but he was completely out of strength. Not to mention, he was getting chills one moment, then
feeling hot the next. Evidently, his fever was pretty serious.
Meanwhile on a glass balcony, Noah stood watching the entire thing, his hands curled up tightly into fists.
Lucas had also watched the whole thing from the side and said, “I told you your plan won’t work. The more you try to stop them
from seeing each other, the more responsible Madeline feels towards him.”
