BXBX NOVEL Chapter 506: So You Knew It All Along (16)
Madeleine directly grabbed Ruby: “Don’t worry about these things. Someone will come to clean up later. Just come with me to do something.”
Saying this, Madeleine quickly ran upstairs with her slippers and soon reappeared wearing a red down jacket and carrying a large bag.
–
When they arrived at the location, Ruby realized that Madeleine had brought her to Howard Coleman’s apartment.
Madeleine didn’t knock on the door but tried to enter the password herself. Halfway through entering the password though, the door was pulled open from the inside.
The one opening the door wasn’t Howard, but instead a beautiful and young woman. She was only wearing a men’s shirt, revealing her slender, straight legs. The shirt’s buttons were loosely fastened, showing half her chest and some bruises on it.
At a glance, it was clear what this woman had done here last night.
Ruby instinctively turned her head to look at Madeleine, who had a tense expression on her face. Staring at the woman in front of her for less than half a minute, Madeleine suddenly reached out, grabbed the woman’s long hair, and pulled her out of the room: “Did I ever give you permission to enter this house?”
Madeleine had trained in martial arts since childhood, and was formidable even against men. The woman had no strength to resist Madeleine and just stared at her, asking, “Are you crazy? This isn’t your house…”
The woman didn’t even finish her sentence before Madeleine slapped her hard: “This is my house. I’m telling you, I’m Howard Coleman’s lawful wife! You better stay away from him in the future, or I’ll beat you every time I see you!”
The woman just laughed dismissively: “Whether I stay away from him or not isn’t up to you. It depends on Howard and whether he wants me to stay away.”
Madeleine raised her hand again, but before she could slap the woman, Howard, who had heard the commotion from inside, came out and grabbed Madeleine’s wrist.
Howard forcefully separated Madeleine from the woman, then pushed Madeleine away, taking the woman back into the room.
Howard’s forceful shove sent Madeleine back several steps, and if it hadn’t been for Ruby’s timely move to reach out and grab her, Madeleine might have fallen down the stairs.
Just as Madeleine and Ruby entered the bedroom, Howard and the woman, now fully dressed, came out of the room.
Howard didn’t even glance at Madeleine, just embracing the woman and striding past her.
As the woman passed Madeleine, she flashed her a triumphant smile.
It wasn’t until the door was slammed shut by Howard that the room finally became quiet. Ruby stared at Madeleine, not daring to say a word.
Madeleine stood there blankly for a while before taking a deep breath, as if nothing had happened. She turned to Ruby and gave her a bright smile: “Ruby, let’s go.”
Ruby thought Madeleine’s smile was even more heartbreaking than her tears. She averted her gaze and followed Madeleine to the master bedroom of Howard’s apartment.
As soon as Madeleine pushed the door open, she shuddered slightly.
