Aggresive Wife

CHAPTER 555 AN ENEMY’S ENEMY IS A FRIEND
“They don’t listen to me.” Wilda was in despair as she hired the security detail. Yet, they did not heed her orders.
“Pull back before I slit her throat.” Lone Wolf drew another cut on Wilda’s neck to show he meant business.
The blood pool was harrowing.
Even Winova was scared stiff, much less Wilda. The last thing on Winova’s mind was to take a dig at her enemy.
“I am your boss. I’m ordering you to retreat and let him go now, or I’ll fire you. I’ll hire an attorney to sue you until you won’t have
a penny to your name.” Wilda burst into tears. She was scared.
She had a lot of things on her bucket list to complete. She could not die now.
“Ms. Harvey, our previous boss was Ms. Eliza. Now it is Ms. Grant,” One of the bodyguards replied.
Ms. Grant? Everybody turned their attention to Madeline.
Madeline was in a daze. Was she their boss? Now that was a plot twist.
“What are you saying? Did you forget who has been paying you all these years?” Wilda screamed in disbelief.
“We remain in Ms. Eliza’s bankroll the whole time. The money you give is with Mr. Shane anyway,” The bodyguard patiently
responded.
“No. That’s not true. Those are lies! Let go of me. I want to call and check with Grandpa.” Shocked, Wilda yelled at Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf whacked her hard on the head. “It probably slipped your mind that you’re a hostage.”
Taken aback by the slap, Wilda shot Madeline an angry look.

Madeline was trying to wrap her head around the plot twist. “Sorry to bother you, but is Ms. Grant you’re talking about, me?”
The bodyguard immediately nodded his head respectfully. “Yes, Ms. Grant. We are here to protect you under Ms. Eliza’s orders.”
It appeared Ms. Eliza had sent someone for her. Nevertheless, what was the point of keeping these men in this place? Madeline
would probably know they existed if she had not come here to find the missing puzzle.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Madeline cautiously inquired.
The same bodyguard replied, “Mr. Shane said only to appear when Ms. Harvey harms you.”
It did not take Madeline long to put the picture together. Shane knew Wilda well. He figured Wilda would come after them after a
falling-out, so the bodyguards were there to help Madeline out.
At the same time, Shane knew a lot about Madeline too. He was aware that it was beneath Madeline to do anything to Wilda.
Wilda was safe even if both parties were to have run-ins. Hence, it was unnecessary to let the hired guns’ presence known.
In other words, these bodyguards had other tasks in the resort.
“Enough. You can catch up another time. Pretty lady, get your men to let me go.” Lone interrupted their talk. His arm was sore
from holding the knife to Wilda’s throat.
Madeline curled her lips and exchanged glances with Noah. There was something about the look on the couple’s faces when
they turned to Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf’s head sank as he got the feeling that today was his doomsday.
Madeline’s beautiful voice ensued. “Take the stuff from him.”
“Holy sh*t! That’s just playing dirty!” Lone Wolf hurled Wilda away, but the powerful force threw her straight past the infrared rays

and into the room.
Thump! Wilda nearly crashed into Winova.
Winova patted her chest and said, “Thank goodness for my agility. Otherwise, she would’ve crushed me.”
Wilda did not lose consciousness from the fall, but she did pass out from Winova’s remark.
Outside, the bodyguards locked horns with Lone Wolf, slowly taking their fight elsewhere.
Canary tugged his shirt and asked, “Do you guys feel hot?”
Oh, sh*t. They forgot about the weird fragrance.
Wilda must have lit some sort of fragrance and put it on the window sill. The breeze brought smoke into the room.
“I’m hungry, Mommy.” Thomas suddenly appeared at the bedroom door. The boy was about to enter in a daze.
Madeline yelled, “Stop right there!”
Her heart nearly stopped.
His mother’s shouting woke him up. Thomas rubbed his eyes and put on some special glasses. The sight of infrared rays saw
his face beaming with thrill.
“You have two minutes to disarm it, Thomas.” Madeline could feel hot flushes too.
She leaned against Noah while the latter pulled her into his arms. He swallowed hard.
“I can’t take it. I need to soak in a cold bath.” Winova ran into the bathroom and locked herself in there.
Poor Canary. He looked at Noah and Madeline who were in the room as well as Wilda who played dead on the ground. He was

speechless. What did he ever do to deserve this?
“Knock him out,” Madeline said.
Without a second thought, Noah approached Canary. Canary put his arms up in the air and flung them. “I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m
just curled up in a corner. I didn’t do anything. Why do you have to hit me? I...”
Noah struck fast and knocked the man out cold in one blow.
Relieved, Madeline sat in bed and leisurely curled her finger at Noah. “Come and sit here, Mr. Quincy.”
“Are you sure you want me there?” It would be easy access for Noah as his bathrobe hung loosely over him.
Not one to back down, Madeline pointed at Wilda and said, “There’s someone else in the room.”
“I don’t mind throwing her out,” Noah gruffly answered.
It was the least of his problems if Wilda became a shooting target. She started it anyway.
“Come here. I promise I won’t knock you out.” There was something hot about Madeline half-lying on the bed with a smile.
Resigning to his fate, Noah scooped her into his embrace and did not push forward thereafter. He had his way with her just now,
but it would only piss her off if he asked for more.
Noah always treaded carefully along the minefield as it involved the happiness of his manhood for the rest of his life.
“Can Lone Wolf handle those people out there?” Madeline asked.
“Don’t we have your bodyguards’ help?” Noah happily replied.
Madeline chuckled with glee. “Maybe things got ugly in the fight, and the collaboration is not working out.”

“The enemy of the enemy is a friend.” The people from Imperia were unbothered by the feud between them. These people were
only after the missing piece of the puzzle. They would snatch the piece from whoever had it.
The bodyguard would not let anybody let the puzzle piece away, but Lone Wolf had the same thought in mind. So, they could
form an alliance for now.
Madeline hoped Lone Wolf would triumph and hurry up to fight a way out for them.
“I did it, Mommy!” Thomas carried his laptop and sat by the door for a bit until the infrared beams disappeared.
Noah was about to carry Madeline out. However, Madeline could not leave these people in the room. She told Noah to take
Canary to the room next door while she fetched Winova from the ice-cold water and sent her to another room.
Unbeknownst to them, someone sneaked into the room after they left and pounced on Wilda.
