Chapter 526 Let’s Get Down to Business
"What happened?" Shane noticed that the thread tied around his body seemed to have loosened a
little. He pulled the thread off, got to his feet, and walked toward the bodyguard.
The bodyguard swiftly led Shane out of the room and down the corridor. Curiously enough, Madeline
appeared unperturbed as she followed silently behind those two. Mackenzie, who had put on the
stealth cloak, and Thomas were with her as well.
"The child started vomiting and having diarrhea after he took the medication. Mr. Quincy claims that we
must've given them the wrong medication on purpose, and he's beating up the other bodyguards now."
It gave the bodyguard the chills as he recalled what happened back in the room earlier.
If I hadn't volunteered to report the incident before the other guys did, I would surely be one of those
passed out on the floor by now.
I hope Mr. Harvey will be fine when he sees the situation inside the room later.
"Mommy, we can make these guys disappear from the face of the earth if something bad has
happened to Colt, right?" Thomas asked innocently.
Shane could feel his blood pressure rising.
What on earth has she been teaching to her children? How can these kids just blurt out such
nonsense?! What kind of adults would they grow up to become with such an improper upbringing?
On the other hand, the bodyguard scoffed inwardly.
How naive! What could the few of you possibly do to us when all of you are still trapped in this place?
To their amusement, Madeline answered firmly, "Of course."
Both of them were rendered speechless by Madeline's response. They even started feeling a bit sorry
for Noah who seemed to have married a mad woman. Both were of the opinion that Wilda was a much
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbetter woman when compared to Madeline in various aspects.
Soon, they arrived outside the room. Shane stood before the door for a brief moment as he seemed to
recall something.
Madeline moved past him and kicked the door open forcefully. Then, she cast an icy glance at Shane
over her shoulder. "You better pray that my son is alright, Mr. Harvey."
Thomas followed closely behind his mother, but he stopped at the door and glared at Shane. "Not only
have you put my lil' brother in such a tiny room, but you're also going to bring all these men inside. Do
you want to suffocate my brother by using up all the oxygen in the room?"
Upon hearing his words, the group of bodyguards who had caught up with Shane subconsciously held
their breaths.
"The rest of you stay out here," Shane instructed those men despite having an expression of strong
displeasure on his face. He did not insist on bringing more bodyguards with him since he recalled there
were already four bodyguards inside the room.
The bodyguard that had shown him to the room took a step forward to stop Shane. However, he felt
something sharp pushing lightly into a spot on his waist at that very moment. He lowered his gaze to
check what it was, but he couldn't seem to detect anything strange on his waist.
Cold sweat broke out on the man's back.
Am I experiencing a supernatural episode now?! I've spent a fortune to secure a job as a bodyguard for
the Harvey family. I was hoping I could find a way to make big money by making more connections
here. I don't wanna lose my life now?!
While he got occupied with those thoughts, Shane entered the room and closed the door behind him.
Just before the door was closed, the sensation he felt on his waist disappeared as well. The bodyguard
glanced down again but still couldn't find anything.
People always say that big mansions like the one we're in are mostly haunted. I guess the rumors are
true. I'm not staying here any longer!
The bodyguard made up an excuse and covertly slipped out of the house.
Eventually, the man managed to find a quiet corner, and he climbed over the boundary wall to make his
escape. However, someone knocked him out as soon as he landed on the other side of the wall.
As for Shane, he was muffled and tied up securely right after he had entered the room.
Madeline did not spare the old man another glance as she hurried over to Colton. She gently placed
her hand on his head and asked, "Are you alright?"
Colton nodded slightly. "I'm fine, Mommy. I used some porridge and pretended to be vomiting."
"What is this smell in the room? It's making me gag!" Thomas caught a whiff of an awful stench and
quickly pinched his nostrils together.
Lone Wolf could feel his stomach turn upon hearing the word "gag". He had no idea that Colton was
only pretending to be ill. The poor man went along with Noah's request to knock Wilda out and
overpower the four bodyguards in the room.
When things had finally settled down for a bit, Lone Wolf sat down to rest. However, his gaze fell on
Colton, who dipped his finger into the puddle of vomit on the floor. The kid noticed he was watching and
flashed him a smile. Then, Colton stuck that finger into his mouth.
Lone Wolf vomited for real at the sight of that. He vomited so hard that the smell of his vomit
permeated the entire room. When he had finally stopped and cleaned up his own vomit upon Noah's
orders, the smell still lingered heavily in the air.
The thought of what happened earlier almost made Lone Wolf feel like puking again. He had just tied
up Shane, and he hurriedly pushed him aside to avoid puking on the man. However, Shane ended up
tripping and falling on the floor.
"Where's Zeke?" Noah asked anxiously when he couldn't seem to find Mackenzie in the room.
Madeline smiled reassuringly at him. Then, she turned her gaze toward her right. Mackenzie took off
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher stealth cloak and appeared the next instant. "I'm right here, Daddy," she answered chirpily.
Shane's eyes widened with terror as he saw that.
"Don't use the cloak when there are others around next time." Noah cast a glance in Shane's direction
and reminded Mackenzie.
"He got Colt sick on purpose!" Mackenzie grumbled angrily.
If it weren't because Mommy and Daddy had learned of their plans in advance, Colt might have fallen
sick for real!
"It's alright. We should get down to business first." Madeline asked Colton to bring his siblings to the
side. Then, she moved a chair and sat down facing Shane.
A tape was plastered across Shane's mouth, so he could only glare at Madeline at the moment.
"Do you know this man?" Madeline pointed toward Gabriel, who still had bruises on his face and
seemed pretty much in a daze.
Shane simply turned his head away. He had no idea who Gabriel was, nor did he care.
Madeline continued smilingly, "He's a thug that I've come across while I was on my way to your house.
I saw him bothering a young lady and decided to bring him along. If you still refuse to cooperate, I'll
have him spend some time with Ms. Wilda then."
Shane was visibly fuming after hearing Madeline's words. On the other hand, Gabriel shot Madeline a
questioning look.
Why have I become a thug now? I'm a good citizen!
Then, he felt a gentle tug on his arm and spotted Elise winking at him twice.
Don't take it to heart. This is all just an act!
Despite his reluctance, Gabriel remained silent and went along with the act.
Dylan was growing more and more impatient as he watched their exchange. In the end, he nudged
Elise further away from Gabriel with his elbow and stood in between those two.
