Chapter 522 I Want My Mother’s Properties
"What do you want me to say? I don't know anything," Shane said, turning his head away from
Madeline in anger.
Madeline chuckled, "Okay, it seems like you don't care about your precious granddaughter either."
Shane sprinted over to grab Madeline's hand. He chided, "She's your cousin!"
"Her cousin?" Lone Wolf exclaimed.
Dylan also burst into laughter.
Why did that sound like an insult?
Madeline remained silent. She just put her finger on the send button and threateningly stared at Shane
that she was about to release the Wilda video. It was the video where Wilda was under the influence of
drugs and threw herself toward Noah's arm.
Noah was in the dark about the fact that Madeline had this video beforehand. His expression became a
little awkward. He started to look a little uncomfortable.
At the time, he assumed Madeline was jealously watching from the side, but he had no idea that she
was secretly filming them. No matter how he looked at it, he still felt uncomfortable deep down.
"Let me explain to you. I get along well with Noah. Everyone is aware of the good relationship we have
together. Look, we have 20 million followers on social media. How would people criticize Ms. Harvey if I
posted this video online?"
"Are you just going to watch her do this? Wilda is a well-educated young lady. How could she do
something like that to you? You know it's a misunderstanding. How could you condone her?"
Shane was trying to drag Noah down with him.
Noah hesitatingly looked at Madeline. He hoped she could use another leverage to threaten Shane
because Wilda was a victim.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadeline grinned icily at Noah. Since the first time she met Wilda, she had been able to see through
her motives for Noah.
Is Wilda innocent? With the Harvey family's level of moral decay, someone innocent can't rise in rank.
Wilda is nothing more than a goody-two-shoes who is hailed as a goddess by everyone.
Noah sensed that he might have touched Madeline's sensitive spot and dared not defend Wilda.
He quickly spoke up, "Mr. Harvey, let’s cut to the chase. My wife has a short temper."
Shane was completely convinced. People said that Mr. Quincy was decisive and ruthless, but in reality,
he was just a man who was dominated by his wife.
Shane quickly changed his mind when he saw Madeline about to press the button. He gave in and
said, "Fine, I'll talk!"
Madeline put her phone down at last. She had been holding the phone for so long that her hand felt
numb.
"Come here! Let’s take a seat and listen to him."
Dylan and Lone Wolf brought over two chairs and took out two bags of potato chips. They had made
full preparations to listen to the gossip.
Shane's mouth twitched when he saw them.
"Speak up," Lone Wolf urged when he had begun to munch the chips, but Shanel had yet to start telling
the stories.
Madeline was also snacking on the side. She gestured to Shane to hurry up with her glances. While
Noah sat next to her and held the bag of chips for her.
Shane withdrew his gaze because he could not bear to look at them.
He slowly revealed, "I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I do know that the Solace family began to
experience a series of misfortunes after Liz left for Yashal. Their properties were first seized, and then
one by one, their businesses started to fail. Then, accidents began to happen to their family members.
Finally, the Solace family heir disappeared."
Madeline and the others were uninterested because they already knew all of this and urged him to get
to the point.
Shane initially felt a little resentful about having to recount the past to the youngsters, but now he felt as
though he had become a storyteller.
Shane continued, "After the Solace family went bankrupt and relocated to Uranica, Liz remarried
Bruno. Liz was already expecting it when we learned about this. We were powerless to change the
situation. Later, Liz unexpectedly appeared before us and requested that her brother adopt you."
As he recalled the events of the past, Shane's expression became more sincere.
"I sensed that something was wrong and sent my men to investigate how Liz had been doing all these
years. The people I sent were all killed before they could learn anything. My family began to suffer the
same fate as the Solace family, with failing businesses and casualties.
"My son had a car accident and turned into a vegetable right after he decided to adopt you. I couldn't
risk the entire family for your sake. You may resent me for it, but you shouldn't vent it out with other
family members."
The reality of what had happened in the past had not particularly moved Madeline.
She said, "I don't have the time or energy to hold a grudge against a stranger. Besides understanding
what really happened back then, I also have something else to tell you. Your family should mentally
prepare themselves in case the tragedy from the past occurs again."
After Madeline finished speaking, Shane showed a hint of panic and anxiety.
He was aware of this. At least he was aware that the Lucky Charm would cause a stir in particular
social circles once it resurfaced.
Given the wealth of the Harvey family, Madeline questioned whether Shane would not look into the past
incidents following what had happened with her mother.
"Besides that, I’m here to take back what belongs to my mother," Madeline said.
Shane frowned. Clearly, he was disagreeing with Madeline's idea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe argued, "The dowry I gave to your mother should be returned to me after her death."
"I don't care about the things you give to my mother. I had heard that she and my father had founded
some businesses back then. You took over those industries after my parents passed away."
"That's not true!" Mr. Shane growled and waved his hand in rage.
Madeline pulled out some documents and placed them in front of him. She said, "Mr. Harvey, please
have a look at this and see if I made any mistakes. If there is not, please sign the Deed of Assignment."
Shane widened his eyes and glared at Madeline. He roared,"Do you think that two videos will be
enough to make me give up the properties?"
Shane thought, as expected, that men will do anything for money. Madeline and Noah have come here
to take away my property. I find it hard to believe that Eliza, who is so noble and aloof, would have a
daughter who is so worldly.
Madeline said as she grinned at Shane, "I'm not to be taken lightly, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, I might give
in to the temptation to give you a big surprise."
Shane was so furious that his complexion turned ghastly pale. He attempted to remain composed and
negotiated, saying, "As long as you don't cause me any trouble, I can allow you to recognize your roots
and become a descendant of the Harvey family. You will get what you deserve."
As if she had heard a joke, Madeline broke out in laughter. Even Dylan and Lone Wolf could not
contain their laughter. A faint smile could be seen on Noah's face.
Shane was so embarrassed about what he had just said because of their response.
Madeline hugged Noah's arm and patted him, asking him to explain a few things to Shane.
Noah noticed Madeline had eaten a lot of potato chips. He poured her a glass of water and made sure
she took a few sips.
Then only he started to speak, "If my wife wants to take over your family, she only needs to enjoy
herself in Yashal for a month. I can give her all of your possessions. Mr. Harvey, I suggest that you
shouldn't have any ideas about letting my wife become a member of your family. Otherwise, I'm afraid
that as soon as she becomes a Harvey, the ambulance will be waiting outside to take all of you away."
