Chapter 21 Seeking Vengeance
Colton nodded. Madeline was impressed Colton was financially savvy even at such a young age. She smiled 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 a stranger who he had only
got to know a few days ago would listen to him. She had also been nothing but nice and patient to him.
Nobody had ever listened to him. Daddy never listened to him; he only listened to Auntie Angie. He stopped talking since nobody
was listening. Even though Daddy had never scolded him despite Auntie Angie’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 he felt a warm fuzzy feeling
inside. Madeline asked with a concerned look, “Colt, is everything okay? You know you can tell me anything.”
Colton liked Madeline’s gentle voice. He glanced up at her and hesitated for a moment before shaking his 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 with you 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 and clicked on the
surveillance video of the cemetery. Her face fell as she saw a familiar face on the screen. Angie was at the cemetery.
It was the break of dawn, and Noah was wide awake in his study. He was weary and frustrated. He couldn’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 now he 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 the tracking 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. His computer 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 to enrage him. The video
showed a man throwing a child over the fence; Even though it was blurry, Noah could 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 image using the best tool he could
find. After multiple sharpening, the image was clear enough for him to be certain it was Colton in the video. The man in the video
looked like Ronald Klish, who had also gone missing at the cemetery according to Wayne.
Once he had pieced the clues together, Noah was furious. Nobody else could have fooled him. He underestimated what Angie
was capable of. How dare anyone try to kill my son!
“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 have checked 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 the video 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 same time, Madeline broke into
a small apartment on the other side of the city, her face hidden behind a mask.
She found the man she was looking for in the bedroom, asleep. She smirked and grabbed him, waking him up. Ignoring his pleas
for mercy, she dragged him to the living room and threw him onto the coffee table. 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 saw the intruder – a masked
woman. He was intimidated by the way she glared at him. He asked in a shaky voice, “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 swiftly stepped forward and kicked
him down on the floor. She stepped on his chest to stop him from standing up.
Ronald’s face turned pale. He could hardly breathe with Madeline stepping on his chest. “Why? Whose order is this? Why do you
want to kill me?”

Madeline ignored his questions and turned on a recorder. She asked through gritted teeth, “Who ordered 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 crazy enough to hurt a Quincy
family member?”
Irritated, Madeline kicked him again in the chest. “Wrong answer. You only have a chance left,” she scowled 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, “Tell me 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 off a 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.
