Chapter 66
The Quincy residence.
After Noah greeted a few guests, he went into the study as he allowed Mr. Charles to be in
charge of the banquet. The large display in the room lit up before him. It showed live
surveillance footage of the different locations in the residence.
Noah immediately noticed the footage of Madeline and Thomas. He enlarged it and
watched them as if it was a movie. He felt moved to see Colt leading Madeline around the
place joyfully.
Noah had never seen Colt getting close to a woman before. He had the urge to join them
in the banquet. However, he was afraid to do so.
Noah was worried that Madeline would feel threatened and distance herself from him. It
would ruin Colt's birthday. Therefore, he decided to suppress his desires and observe them
on the screen instead.
A sudden knock on the door alerted Noah. He swiftly switched the footage and sat down at
his desk before letting the person outside in.
Wayne walked into the room hurriedly and said, "Mr. Quincy, Felix is awake."
"No time to waste," Noah said as he stood up. He walked towards the elevator beside the
cupboard that was opposite his desk.
"Mr. Quincy, it's Colton's birthday today. Perhaps you should stay," Wayne said. He was
aware that Felix was important to Noah, but Colton was even more important to him.

Noah hesitated for a moment. He said, "He'll have a great time as long as Madeline is by
his side. Stay here and make sure that no one notices that I'm gone."
"Mr. Quincy, Mr. Charles is already in charge, allow me to accompany you instead," Wayne
said. "There's no need for that," Noah replied. He stepped into the elevator and closed the
doors.
The elevator led to the underground garage. A black Rolls Royce zoomed out from the rear
exit not long after.
Angie was sneaking around the Quincy residence and finally made it in. She hid
downstairs and observed Noah as he drank a glass of juice that was drugged. He walked
upstairs after that.
Angie felt a burst of excitement as it went according to plan. She was worried that it would
not work as it was crowded. However, Noah fell for it and went upstairs. It was the perfect
opportunity.
The drug would take effect half an hour after being consumed. Therefore, she had to act
quickly and follow him upstairs. Although she has been here numerous times, she was still
uncertain of the interior layout.
She sneaked past the crowd and made her way to the front of the study. She was filled
with joy as she was about to succeed. She gripped the doorknob and felt as if she was
about to open Pandora's box in her dreams.
Before she could turn the door knob, a person embraced her from behind. She could feel
the warmth of the tight embrace and the hot breaths coming from behind. She lost her
senses as she was about to speak.
Madeline and Thomas had been tailing Angie to the residence. However, she disappeared
in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that Angie had gone to look for Noah.
"Shall we go upstairs and have a look?" Thomas asked. "It's best to not disturb the
others," Madeline replied. "That scumbag isn't a nobody. We can't just watch from the
sidelines as he gets married to my stepmom. If she mistreats me no one would come to
my rescue," Thomas said.
Thomas began to put up an act. Madeline decided to go with him to prevent stirring up a
scene. She could not deny the fact that Thomas was Noah's son. Besides, she was also
against Noah getting married to Angie.
Thomas led Madeline upstairs. As they made it upstairs, they were greeted with the sight
of Angie and a man kissing in a tight embrace. Madeline swiftly covered Thomas' eyes.
The man carried Angie and fled the scene as they were noticed.
Madeline was dazed while Thomas was confused. "Mommy, now that the bad woman likes
someone else, does that mean she won't get married to that scumbag?" Thomas asked. "It
seems like it…" Madeline replied.
"Yay! That's great! That scumbag's wealth will be mine in the future!" Thomas uttered
joyfully. Madeline was taken aback and quickly covered his mouth. "Keep it down…" she
said.

Noah went to the medical laboratory intensive care unit on the 86th floor. Felix had tubes
connected all over his body as he lay in the hospital bed feebly.
Dylan and the medical staff did their best to keep Felix alive. However, the grim reaper
could take his life at any moment.
Felix was seemingly desperate to speak as he saw that Noah had arrived. "Mr. Turner, do
you still recognize me?" Noah asked. Felix looked at him and nodded.
"Mr. Turner, did Madeline kill my grandpa?" Noah continued. Before Noah entered the
ward, Dylan had urged him to ask all the questions he had as Felix was running out of
time. Therefore, Noah had to get straight to the point.
"No…" Felix muttered. "No? Are you saying that it wasn't Madeline?" Noah asked. Felix
nodded in response. Noah let out a breath of relief but it was followed by a sense of
realization. He had wronged Madeline.
"Do you know who killed my grandpa?" Noah continued. Felix was agitated as if he
suddenly remembered something. "Who is it?" Noah asked. "It was…" Felix was unable to
finish his words.
The heart rate monitor sounded as he flatlined. Dylan and the medical staff attempted to
revive him.
Noah walked outside as he was lost in his thoughts.
It wasn't Madeline after all! How is that possible? It was her in the surveillance footage!
