Chapter 259

When Noah arrived at the hospital, Annalise’s fever had subsided, and she was lying quietly on thehospital bed without any abnormalities.

“Mr. Solace, let’s not beat around the bush and be frank.”

He was willing to meet them, not because of Annalise or because he was afraid of Rowan’s threats. Hecared about Madeline’s Charity Association, and he believed that he was capable of protecting it.

He was here for the sake of the Old Mr. Solace.

When he was young, Old Mr. Quincy was still the leader of the Quincy family. He was the righteous andappointed heir. But some people were displeased and wanted to get rid of him.

At one banquet, he would have drowned silently in the swimming pool if it were not for Old Mr. Solace.

“During the fire breakout last night, I lied to you so that you could look for Annalise while you weresearching for Madeline.” Rowan explained awkwardly.

Noah responded emotionlessly, “Shouldn’t the Solace family be able to handle such a situation?”

“Annalise requested to bring lesser bodyguards to show our sincerity. I didn’t think much about it andagreed. I never expected something like that would happen.”

In fact, Rowan did not bring many bodyguards with him when he arrived at Imperia because he wouldonly be here temporarily to settle Annalise’s issue.

He believed that knowing who he was, no one would dare to provoke them.

“Ms. Solace wasn’t vicious before.”

Noah’s mother and Annalise’s mother were close friends; they betrothed them when they were young,as Old Mr. Solace had saved Noah’s life before. The Solace family was having a good relationship withthe Quincy family too.

Noah had known Annalise since she was a child. In his memories, she was a timid girl. He did notexpect her to turn out like this.

“Actually, I was doubtful too. She was extremely careful and modest when she first came back to ourfamily. Everyone sympathised with her and pampered her. Maybe she changed out of jealousy and badinfluences.”

The Solace family only had one girl in Rowan’s generation. Unfortunately, Annalise was taken away byher mother when she was a child, and she was lost for seven years.

Hence, everyone doted on her very much; they told her to be confident and to trust her family. Solace’sfamily would always back her up.

Later on, she lived alone with her grandpa, and she was good at making him happy.

Rowan was busy with his studies and career all these years, so he barely met up with his sister. But healways got her a lot of gifts when he met her.

She barely took the initiative to contact him, let alone ask him for anything.

Rowan had always remembered her as an obedient and gentle little girl.

Recently, Grandpa was severely ill. Rowan went back to visit him, and he stayed with him for quitesome time.

He accidentally found out that Annalise acted like an innocent and soft girl in front of Grandpa. Shewould be mean to the servants behind everyone’s back.

He was puzzled, so he secretly observed her over a period of time. He noticed that the servants wereafraid of her, and she was restless and cruel.

His mother gave birth to four of them. Besides living separately with her siblings for seven years, shegrew up in the same environment as the rest of them. It was impossible for her to be twisted.

On the contrary, she was raised by Grandpa. She should have been far better. However, not only herpersonality had problems; she was not as smart as the rest of the Solace family.

So, he took the initiative to propose to his grandfather that he would accompany Annalise back toImperia.

Grandpa’s condition worsened by days, and he put his entire trust in Annalise, who grew up with himfor more than ten years. He would never, ever doubt Annalise.

Coupled with Grandpa’s guilt toward Rowan’s father and mother, he would do anything for Annalise.

Grandpa would never threaten to make the Quincy family disappear if he was still in his right mind.

Noah was not interested in Annalise’s affairs, but he deduced that Annalise was two-faced toward theSolace family.

“Madeline was alright, so I would let this matter go to repay my debt to Old Mr. Solace. I won’t be thiseasy going if similar things happen again in the future.”

“Well, the Solace family would prepare a generous dowry for Annalise if she’s getting married. If sheisn’t, our family would still look after her.” Rowan was hinting at Noah.

He wanted to assure Noah that Annalise would not be able to interfere in the business affairs of theSolace family. He hoped that Noah would be professional about it, not ruining the business relationshipbetween their families.

“At the same time, we knew that we had wronged Ms. Madeline. We would donate 10 million dollars tothe Charity Association as an apology to her. I hope you will pass on our apology to her.”

Rowan said it humbly; he was totally sincere. Noah did not immediately agree with Rowan becauseMadeline should be the one making decisions for her charity association.

“Mr. Solace, you shouldn’t call me to the hospital for work-related matters.”

“It’s because my foot was injured and I couldn’t move. And Annalise was making a fuss, so I didn’t dareleave her unattended. I was worried you might misunderstand our intention, so I invited you here for atalk.”

Rowan’s foot was covered in plaster, and he appeared serious and trustworthy.

Especially when he looked at someone with his innocent eyes, a person with little self-control wouldprobably promise him anything.

Noah would not be fooled by his look, but based on his understanding of the Solace family, he chose tobelieve Rowan.

“Sir, someone broke into the residence!”

“Are Mrs. Quincy and the children alright?” Noah glared at Rowan when he heard his words.

Rowan gave him a sympathetic look as he overheard the conversation.

“They’re both sound. The man was caught the moment he broke into Mrs. Quincy’s room. We did notreplace anything on him. Instead, he called the police himself and was taken away by the police.

“He broke into Mrs. Quincy’s room? Tailgate him after he’s out of the police station.”

“Sir, he disappeared into thin air after entering the police station. We’d been following him all along; thepolice couldn’t replace out where he went even after looking into the surveillance. Sir, I’m sorry for ruiningmy task! Please punish me.”

Noah hung up the phone heatedly. The man was targeting Madeline, because he went straight into herroom!

He must have a contact in the police department; if not, he wouldn’t be able to escape quietly.
