Chapter 13 Asking for 400 Million Dollars

Angie ordered, “Move.”

Then, she heard a cold and deep voice behind her…

Madeline didn’t plan to let Angie go that easily. She knocked on the table lightly and said, “Ms. Angie, you promised to compensate me for my laptop. Are you going to break your promise?”

Angie turned around and stared at Madeline, “Isn’t it just a stupid laptop? You already got 100 million dollars. Why do you care about that little bit of money?”

Madeline hinted at Albert to give Angie the quote.

“Ms. Angie, let me remind you. It’s ten laptops, not one.”

Angie looked at the quote and threw it on the floor before stomping on it.

“Don’t push your luck! How can a few stupid laptops be worth 300 million dollars?”

Albert reminded her casually, “Ms. Angie, our chairman’s laptop is custom-made. It also has the most advanced specifications. More importantly, it contains all the data gathered by previous chairmen and information about this year’s Global Charity Banquet award winners. Do you think 300 million dollars for ten of these laptops are expensive?”

“That’s going too far!”

Angie realized this woman was trying to milk all her money. She also wondered why she had no idea that Mr. Gordon knew this woman.

Madeline wasn’t really forcing her to pay the money, “Ms. Angie, if you think the price is too high, just forget it! I’ll repair the laptop myself. However, I can’t guarantee that I can restore the candidate’s name list inside the computer. The data might be changed.”

Angie was furious after hearing that.

“You are threatening me!”

“Oh, you noticed,” Madeline said with a smile.

“Fine. You are taking advantage of me. You better pray and hope you live long enough to spend all the money you made.”

Angie said that as her parting shot and left.

In truth, she was scared and worried.

She only had half a day to gather 400 million dollars.

The woman would expose her dirty deeds, whether it was about Mr. Gordon or the fake donations. It would leave Angie with nothing. So, she had no choice but to obey the woman. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Madeline was happy because she achieved her objective. She handed over the voice recorder in her pocket to Albert and asked him to retrieve the security camera footage.

“Get someone to keep an eye on Asher. Angie won’t let him go that easily. We should be able to learn something else as a bonus.”

“Yes, Ms. Madeline.”

Meanwhile, there was a cold atmosphere at the Quincy residence.

Ever since he saw the woman known also as Madeline at the hospital, Noah had been locking himself in the study.

He sat dispiritedly in his black swivel chair and kept thinking about what happened five years ago.

Five years ago, Madeline murdered his grandfather, betrayed the Quincy family, and caused Angie serious harm.

The security camera footage clearly showed the murderer’s face. It was a pregnant woman. There could be no one else except for Madeline.

He had all the proof. He was so angry and sent Madeline to the police station so she could pay for what she did.

However, she died that night and only left Colt behind.

Noah wasn’t happy that Madeline died before she could pay the price for causing Mr. Gordon’s death.

However, the appearance of that mysterious woman reminded him of Madeline. It also awakened his hatred toward Madeline. His insomnia was getting worse, yet he could do nothing.

That woman had a similar aura and gaze as Madeline. She even had the same name. She was even there at the cemetery on Mr. Gordon’s death anniversary. The fact that nothing could be investigated regarding her identity made Noah even more suspicious.

However, there was no way for her to be Madeline because Madeline was supposed to be dead!

“Sir…”

Noah was pulled back to reality from his thoughts by someone knocking on the door. He rubbed his finger between his eyebrows and said impatiently, “Come in!”

“We just got information. There was another person who went missing along with Colton, Ronald Klish.

“Ronald Klish?” The name sounded familiar to Noah.

“Yes. This man is Ms. Angie’s assistant. According to the testimony of the people around, he was still behind Ms. Angie when they went up the mountain. When Colton disappeared, he went missing as well. I think there’s something suspicious about this man. However, he works for Ms. Angie. Should we investigate him?”

“Yes! Investigate everyone that will threaten Colt’s safety!”

“Yes!”

“Sir, there’s one more thing.” Wayne hesitated before proceeding with his report.

“Yes?”

“There was an extra layer of encryption on the cemetery’s security camera footage. Seems like someone is hacking the program remotely. We suspect it was the person who corrupted the footage previously. When we were tracking the person, we found out that the corrupted footage had been copied.”

“Who did it?”

“The IP address was removed but we had a lead. The location was at the hospital…”

“That mysterious woman?”

“We cannot be sure as of now, but she is definitely the most suspicious person.”

It wasn’t something important, but Wayne still reported it because he thought Noah was concerned about that woman.

“Where is that woman now?”

“An hour ago, she was at the Global Philanthropy Committee’s office. However, our men lost her ten minutes ago…”

Wayne looked at his tablet computer and saw Madeline’s tracker going offline. He gulped and looked at Noah nervously. He was already using the most advanced technology available in the Quincy residence, yet he still lost her. That woman was really a sly one.

There was an eerie silence in the room. Cold sweat started to drip from Wayne’s head.

Before Wayne wanted to kneel and beg for forgiveness, Noah spoke.

“Find that woman in ten minutes. Otherwise, you can go and dig a grave for yourself.”
