Yorrick put down the wine bottle, moved it aside, and raised his gaze. “I’m interested in your overseas project in Zlokova.”Tristan paused for a split second and frowned. “You’re interested in that project?”Yorrick leaned forward slightly. “That’s the coast of the Persian Gulf. It connects the marine traffic between Yaramoor and Zlokova. You do have quite a keen foresight, knowing that you should develop the marine traffic. So, of course, I’m interested in this extremely profitable project.”Tristan smiled. “Mr. Hathaway, it’s said that you’ve always had a picky taste when it comes to project investment. I really didn’t expect that my project would catch your attention.”Yorrick placed his arms across the back of the couch. “I won’t make you work for nothing. I’ll invest a billion pounds into your project.”Tristan’s eyes moved as he pondered.‘The project actually piqued Yorrick’s interest and made him spend such an amount of money. This shows that the coast of the Persian Gul
She hugged Nollace and cried out loud, “I was so worried about you! You’re finally back!”Nollace stood in place and let her hold him expressionlessly. His gaze looked dull, and he was also bewildered by the existence of the Knowles and his parents.Mrs. Knowles noticed something, let him go slowly, and stroked his cheek with her palm. “Nolly?”Rick glanced at Tristan. “Uncle, what happened to Nollace?”Tristan put down the teacup. “He has lost his memory.”Rick was astonished.Mrs. Knowles shed tears again and held Nollace in her arms tremblingly. “It’s okay. He’s home now. As for his memory, he’ll gradually remember everything.”Back at Bassburgh, at Soul…Maisie was going through the resumes of the candidates applying for the jewelry designer position, including their previous creations.Lucy, who was standing by her side, could see her hesitation. “Ms. Vanderbilt, are you dissatisfied with these designs?”Maisie propped her chin against the palm of her hand and frowned. “
“No.” Naomi shook her head while she sat on the couch. “Dad, I didn’t want to attend the music academy.”Anthony was surprised when he heard Naomi continue. “Ryleigh was better than me in music, and I’ve always known that, so I was ready to be eliminated during the competition.”Unfortunately, she had only found out that the incident had put Ryleigh in a bad spot after all these years.Anthony looked down and didn’t speak. Naomi looked up at him and smiled. “Dad, I want to do what I enjoy. You will support me, right?”He paused, then smiled. “Of course I will.”The phone on the table started ringing. He saw that it was a foreign number, so he put it to his ear. “Mr. Knowles?”Tristan said something to him, and Anthony frowned. “You want to withdraw from the project?”“Yes, but don’t worry, Yorrick has taken over the project. I’m sure the project will be successful with him around.”After Tristan had a short chat with him and they hung up, he didn’t recover. Tristan withdrew
He calmly replied, “In-law.”Maisie immediately asked, “Are you sure that Hector stole something? Did you investigate it?”The officer didn’t know what to do. “The expensive stolen watch was found in Mr. Vanderbilt’s bag. We’re still investigating what actually happened.”Maisie rushed into the interrogation room when Hector turned to look at her and lowered his head. “I didn’t steal the watch.”Maisie looked at him. “I believe you, but what happened?”Hector tightened his fist. “The assistant of the editor-in-chief gave it to me.” He clenched his jaw.” I bumped into the editor-in-chief’s wife having an affair in the office, and he tried to bribe me with the watch so that I wouldn’t spill out the beans. I didn’t agree nor take the watch, but it suddenly showed up in my bag.”Maisie took a deep breath because this was obviously a setup and held her forehead. “So he found out that you found out?”Hector nodded. Maisie looked at him. “How did you find out?”Hector scratched his
Surprisingly, the editor-in-chief kept him. Had he learned something?Mr. Lowe looked sickly when he thought about that. When the editor-in-chief wanted to send someone to check the footage, Mr. Lowe suddenly blurted, “I-If it’s just a misunderstanding, let’s just let it go.”The staff next to him looked at each other, noticing that something was off. Hector looked at him. “Why don’t we check the cameras? I was arrested because of you, and I was framed. We need the surveillance videos to clear my name.”“You!” Mr. Lowe’s eyes burned with anger while he clenched his jaw. “I apologize for blaming you.”Hector smiled. “Alright, there’s no need to check the footage if you think it’s a misunderstanding too.”After the meeting, Mr. Lowe caught up with Hector and pulled him into a safe corridor. He grabbed Hector by the collar angrily. “Did you tell the editor-in-chief?”Hector looked calm. “What was I supposed to tell him?”His smile triggered Mr. Lowe, who glared at him furious
Hector smiled. “I gave you a chance to apologize, but you didn’t take it.”Mr. Lowe laughed hysterically. “You want me to apologize to a kid like you?” He balled up his fist. “Are you dreaming? Who do you think you are?”Hector pushed his hand away and pushed him away. He brushed out the wrinkles on his shirt, and his actions startled Mr. Lowe. Hector approached him. He was half a head taller than Mr. Lower and was overbearing. “You don’t need to know who I am.”He patted Mr. Lowe’s cheek. “Since you failed to frame me, you should give up. I know what you did, so you should just cooperate with me, or I can’t guarantee that no one else will find out about your secret.”“A-Are you threatening me?” Mr. Lowe’s face was pale, but he wasn’t fierce enough compared to Hector. Hector smiled. “Mr. Lowe, not every newbie can be threatened. You’re not threatening enough to me.”He ignored Mr. Lowe after saying that and turned around to leave the office. Mr. Lowe stood on the spot, looki
Maisie and Lucy came to the design planning department and saw the head of the department showing Naomi around. Even though she was important to Eastwood Enterprise, she laid low when working at Soul, dressing casually with no luxury brands or expensive jewelry. She had a smile the entire time when the head of the department was speaking to her and didn’t look impatient. That showed that Naomi had been brought up very well and didn’t act like the other rich girls. The head of the department saw Maisie and walked over smiling. “Ms. Vanderbilt.”When Naomi saw her, she smiled and nodded. Maisie did the same. “How’s your first day?”Naomi paused before answering with a smile, “It’s alright, but don’t worry, I’ll adapt quickly.”Maisie smiled. “I believe you.”Naomi had seen her at the hospital, but when she saw her again at Soul, she wasn’t surprised because she had looked into the company and how it had started. She was respectful and didn’t try to pretend that they were cl
Yorrick placed his hand on his forehead and smiled brightly. “He's going to be someone great in the future, so I don't think it's wrong for me to make preparations in advance. If I have a son or a daughter in the future, my son can be his brother, and my daughter can be his wife. I think it's pretty good.”Nolan replied without lifting his head, “Well, congratulations to you in advance, then.”Yorrick was stunned. After a short while, he chuckled and said, “I remember your daughter is about the same age as him, right? Don't you want to secure a spot for your daughter first?” “I’m not interested,” Nolan replied as he lifted his head. “Even if my daughter doesn’t want to get married in the future, I can take care of her myself.”Yorrick laughed. “The future can be quite unpredictable.”The waiter served their food, and Yorricks’ phone rang. He took a look at his phone and passed it to his bodyguard. “I believe you know what you should do with her, right?”The bodyguard nodded befo
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
