Chapter 2921
Imogen couldn't help but chuckle, âIs he kidding? How could anything happen to her just because
sheâs coming home? Maybe Regina had a spat with him and that's why sheâs not picking up his calls.
Does he think something's happened to her because of that?â
Francis, clearly running out of patience, replied, âEnough with the questions, just wait at home.
That's exactly what I told him when I called, but he just wouldn't believe it. He even threatened me. I
really don't know if he even considers me an elder!â
As he spoke, he was already heading downstairs, with Imogen following, arms crossed, and a look of
disdain on her face.
Who in this house even sees him as a real elder?
He should take a look at his own behavior, clinging to Nolan like a leech, refusing to let

If it weren't for the sake of the baby she was carrying, she really wouldn't approve of Francisâ
actions.
But since Nolan had reached out to Francis, it seemed like trouble was indeed brewing.
Instinctively, Imogen thought to check on Madeline. If something really had happened, she needed
to know her daughter was safe under her watch. But to her surprise, when she knocked on
Madeline's door, no one was there!
She had told her recently not to wander off given everything that was happening. How could she
not be back by now?
Fuming, Imogen dialed Madeline's number, clueless about her daughter's whereabouts. From the
other end, a burst of noise came through.
After a moment, Madeline seemed to find a quieter spot before answering.

Imogen furrowed her brows, raising her voice, âWhat are you even doing? Do you have any idea
what time it is? I told you not to go out these days, and you don't listen. Now that witch has gotten
herself into trouble, and you're my precious girl, what if something happens to you too?â
"Oh? Really?â Madeline's voice sounded unsurprised.
âMadeline, why do I get the feeling you think I knew Regina would get into trouble? Where are you
right now? I want you back immediately. You better not let me find out you have anything to do

of messy stuff, it's not unusual for things to happen, right? It's obviously dangerous, and she refuses
to have a bodyguard. How is this my fault? What could I possibly do? Since you want me back, I'll
just say goodbye to my friends and head home, okay? You can't get angry now, you've got my little
brother in your belly. Donât worry, I'll be home in twenty-five minutes.â
Hearing Madeline's words, Imogen finally felt relieved.
It wasn't that she didnât want to confront Regina, but now that she was married to Nolan, she
couldn't gauge his feelings towards Regina.
If those two actually hit it off, wouldn't making a move on Regina be too risky?
One way or another, it was crucial to figure out Nolan's true feelings towards that woman before
taking any action.
