Chapter 21 Seeking Vengeance

Colton nodded. Madeline was impressed Colton was financially savvy even at such a young age. Shesmiled and said, “Well, let’s do it! Let’s buy this stock you suggested.”

Madeline immediately called Albert to invest all 400 million dollars in the stock. Colton was surprised astranger who he had only got to know a few days ago would listen to him. She had also been nothingbut nice and patient to him.

Nobody had ever listened to him. Daddy never listened to him; he only listened to Auntie Angie. Hestopped talking since nobody was listening. Even though Daddy had never scolded him despite AuntieAngie’s accusations, Colton had always felt like he didn’t belong in his family.

It was the first time someone listened to him, and it was nice. His eyes pricked with tears of joy as hefelt a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Madeline asked with a concerned look, “Colt, is everything okay? Youknow you can tell me anything.”

Colton liked Madeline’s gentle voice. He glanced up at her and hesitated for a moment before shakinghis head. He clenched his fists as he choked back his tears.

Madeline’s heart ached. She held his hands and tried to comfort him, “Don’t worry, Colt. I’m here withyou no matter what.” Colton felt safe with her. He began to feel tired and eventually fell asleep.

After tucking Colton in, Madeline quietly left his room to continue her work. She fired up her laptop andclicked on the surveillance video of the cemetery. Her face fell as she saw a familiar face on thescreen. Angie was at the cemetery.

It was the break of dawn, and Noah was wide awake in his study. He was weary and frustrated. Hecouldn’t get Madeline out of his mind; he realized he never actually knew her.

Noah shook his head. Colton’s teary eyes haunted him as well. He had never doubted Angie, but nowhe couldn’t help but wonder if she had mistreated Colton. He wouldn’t forgive himself if she had.

He sighed. He also had the tracking device found in his car to worry about. All he knew now was thetracking device was sending location data to a server located in the Grant residence.

There was a ping from the computer. He leaned forward and saw an alert to open a video file. Hiscomputer had been hacked. Annoyed, he immediately tried to track the hacker, but he was too late.The hacker did a clean job, and there was nothing useful Noah could find.

He frowned and opened the video the hacker sent. It was only a minute long, but it was enough toenrage him. The video showed a man throwing a child over the fence; Even though it was blurry, Noahcould tell the child was wearing Colton’s shirt the day he fell.

Noah was dumbfounded. He quickly took a screenshot of the video and tried to sharpen the imageusing the best tool he could find. After multiple sharpening, the image was clear enough for him to becertain it was Colton in the video. The man in the video looked like Ronald Klish, who had also gonemissing at the cemetery according to Wayne.

Once he had pieced the clues together, Noah was furious. Nobody else could have fooled him. Heunderestimated what Angie was capable of. How dare anyone try to kill my son!novelbin

“Wayne!” Noah yelled. Wayne immediately entered the study; he was on standby outside Noah’s study.Seeing Wayne, Noah asked impatiently, “Where is Angie?”

“Sir, Ms. Angie was in Colton’s room earlier, but she left not long after,” answered Wayne. “I havechecked on Colton; he seems to be in a good mood. There is nothing to worry about, sir.”

Noah showed the video to Wayne and said, “Find this man.” Wayne took a step closer to watch thevideo in which Ronald Klish threw Colton over the fence. He was shocked and outraged by what he

saw. “Son of a – How could anyone hurt Colton?”

It was 5 am when the Quincy family cars sped through Imperia streets to seek vengeance. At the sametime, Madeline broke into a small apartment on the other side of the city, her face hidden behind amask.

She found the man she was looking for in the bedroom, asleep. She smirked and grabbed him, wakinghim up. Ignoring his pleas for mercy, she dragged him to the living room and threw him onto the coffeetable. The glass top shattered into pieces behind him.

Ronald groaned in pain as he tried to sit up from the floor. He managed to turn on the lights and sawthe intruder – a masked woman. He was intimidated by the way she glared at him. He asked in a shakyvoice, “Who are you? What do you want?”

He was looking for a chance to run away. “I am here to kill you,” said Madeline coldly, as she swiftlystepped forward and kicked him down on the floor. She stepped on his chest to stop him from standingup.

Ronald’s face turned pale. He could hardly breathe with Madeline stepping on his chest. “Why? Whoseorder is this? Why do you want to kill me?”

Madeline ignored his questions and turned on a recorder. She asked through gritted teeth, “Whoordered you to throw Colton Quincy off a cliff at the cemetery?”

“What are you talking about?” Ronald struggled to breathe beneath her foot.“Do I look like I’m crazyenough to hurt a Quincy family member?”

Irritated, Madeline kicked him again in the chest. “Wrong answer. You only have a chance left,” shescowled at him and said in a threatening tone, “If I were you, I would be honest.”

“Did Mr. Quincy send you?” Ronald was terrified. “It’s none of your business,” Madeline frowned, “Tellme who ordered you to hurt Colton Quincy, or I’ll kill you right now.”

“Colton Quincy is well and alive,” Ronald seemed to have given up, “I have never tried to throw him offa cliff. I have never received any order to hurt him from anyone.”

“Kill me if you don’t believe me,” he stopped struggling and lay motionless on the floor.
