Chapter 428 Hidden Secrets in the Castle

Liam might be loyal to Annalise, but it was not unconditional. He had been working for her for years, but he was not appreciated or paid well by her.

Hence, he did not remind Annalise that something was off when the actors asked for a raise. The more raises they were getting, the more he would get paid too.

Annalise was a pampered and overly sheltered daughter of the rich family. But she could never take out so much money at once, even if she spent all her savings from the past twenty years.

However, she was not willing to give up now; she had already spent a few millions of dollars.

That was the reason she was planning a scheme to get money from Steve; he was unimaginably rich; it would not hurt if she got more than a few billions from him, right?

Just when Annalise was thinking up her tricks to defraud Steve's money, Bruno also went to Madeline.

"Why are you so slim now? Didn't Mr. Quincy treat you well?" Bruno was dressed in worn-out clothes and stood stiffly at the Maple Forest Villa. He looked way different than before. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The worries in his eyes made Madeline feel awkwardly uncomfortable.

"What are you here for?" Madeline did not want to share much with him.

He glanced around and wanted to take a few steps closer to Madeline, but he was stopped by the bodyguards. They were all working for Noah, and their main job was to prevent any sort of danger from approaching the villa.

Bruno was sneaking around the entrance just now, and the bodyguards straight away confronted him.

"It's Suzette; I think she's acting weird recently. I'm worried that she'll harm you." After going through everything, Bruno realized that anyone who went against Madeline would end up badly.

People might think that he was over-exaggerating or even crazy, but he seriously believed it now.

Although he did not have many feelings for his daughter, if she was willing to ensure his wealth, he would be more than willing to help her.

Madeline raised an eyebrow at his words, and she motioned for him to continue.

He licked his dry lips and continued to say, "She's always meeting up with Fred, who is Joseph's subordinate. They're always mumbling with each other, but I eavesdropped and heard them mentioning your name the other day."

She saw Fred when she broke into Joseph's castle. He ruthlessly tried to kill her.

"Alright. What do you want from me in exchange for this information?"

Bruno smiled embarrassedly; he waved his hands and said, "You're my daughter; naturally, I want the best for you without asking for anything in return."

"I'll only ask once; you can forget it if you don't say it now." She was impatient.

Bruno immediately made his request. "I'm opening a cement factory with Kingsley; can you ask Mr. Quincy to make us his company's supplier?"

"I'm not him; I can't decide on his behalf. You should ask him instead."

"You're his wife; so naturally, you both are family. So why do you have to distinguish yourself from him?" Bruno knew that Noah would fulfill Madeline's every request.

"Aren't you family with Suzette too?" She sneered.

Bruno froze and responded bluntly, "Forget it if you're unwilling to help me out."

"I'll find a market for your cement factory; stop trying to do things in the name of the Quinton Corporation. You know how ruthless he can be; I can't save you if anything happens." She knew Bruno well, so she knew that he would have self-declared himself as the supplier of Noah's company.

"Okay." He stopped pushing, and he chatted with her for a while before leaving.

Madeline went back to the villa; she wondered what crazy thing Fred and Suzette would do to her.

She could not think of anything after pondering for a while; she was getting restless.

"Mommy… Mommy, Jacob had returned. Can you find him a job?" Thomas spoke persuasively.

Thinking of his hacking skills, her mood brightened up. She replied, "I've already figured out something for him."

"What is it?" Thomas asked curiously.

"Of course it's his old profession." Madeline poked his nose lightly and smiled.

Thomas also broke into a smile. He smiled slyly.

"Mommy, should we ruin Annalise's shooting crew?" Colton walked up to her and asked sternly.

She shook her head and said, "The three of you should go to school tomorrow; don't worry about the adult's business."

Thomas grabbed on to her arm and shook it; Colton sighed at the side, and Mackenzie held a bottle of milk and sighed tiredly too.

Seeing the three of them uninterested in going to school, she said seriously, "I know the three of you are smarter than average, but don't be arrogant and think that you know it all."

"There are always people and things greater and better that you've never come across yet. You all will soon realize there are a lot of people smarter than you all."

Madeline did not purposely lower their self-esteem, but they would be attending the youth genius class, so they might not be at the top of the class.

"But I've finished reading the elementary school textbooks." Colton calmly replied.

Madeline showed them the information about the school; she deliberately introduced the youth genius class by saying, "Every student in this class has a high intelligence quotient; if the three of you didn't pass the entrance test, you'll be assigned to the normal mainstream class."

"The three of us have to be in the same class." Colton murmured.

Mackenzie nodded and said, "Thomas always gets himself into trouble; we can't save him in time if we're in a different class."

"I'm not a troublemaker!" Thomas did not agree with them.

Madeline smiled and shook her head. She asked them to get ready for the test tomorrow. And she changed her clothes and prepared to sneak into the Rose Castle again.

She wanted to know why Fred hated her so much; it did not make sense to her even if he was Joseph's subordinate. She would also want to find out the relationship between Suzette and the two of them— why was Suzette worth saving by Joseph?

She felt that there were hidden secrets in that castle, such as the disappearance of Angie, the death of Gordon, and the reason for her mother's leaving.
