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
Jodie clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles were turning white. From her point of view, Ryleigh was humiliating and making fun of her.When she walked past them, a cold smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth. She took off her bracelet and tucked it silently into the back of Daisie’s hood the moment she got close to her.Then, she shouted, “My bracelet! My bracelet is missing!”Ryleigh stopped and turned around to look at her upon hearing her voice.She saw that Jodie was complaining to the manager, telling her that she had lost her bracelet. She then looked at Ryleigh, and as if something had popped into her head, she pointed at her and said, “It must be them! That girl bumped into me just now. It must be her who took my bracelet!”The manager ordered the waiter to get over to Ryleigh.The waiter walked over to them and said, “I’m sorry, ma’am. That lady over there says that she has lost her bracelet. Can you ask your kids to…”Ryleigh soon understood what was going
“What the h*ll are you talking about!?” Jodie’s face changed. It was never in her wildest dream that Colton could see through the fake diamonds.This diamond bracelet was a counterfeit. Even though it was not a real diamond bracelet, it was a grade-A counterfeit, which had cost her about $150.Ryleigh ignored her. She raised her brows and smiled. “Way to go, Colton.”The manager looked at the kid in surprise and asked, “How can you be so sure that they are not real diamonds?”After all, even he couldn’t see through them. Colton harrumphed and said confidently, “My mother is a jewelry designer. She has a lot of experience with diamonds, and I’ve heard from her several times in the past.”Then, he continued in a serious manner. “A real diamond is the hardest rock in the world. Even if we rub it with sandpaper, it won’t leave a single scratch on it, let alone a few stomps. However, take a look at this.”He brought the bracelet closer to them and said, “There are scratches on the s
The manager’s face turned pale when he saw Nolan. It was only now he realized that Colton and Daisie were Nolan’s kids.Jodie was stunned as well.The man standing in front of her was handsome. He had an aloof temperament, and the expensive custom-made suit he put on fit his body like a glove. There was not a single wrinkle, and it appeared to her that he was wealthy.Ryleigh walked over to Nolan and said, “I didn’t know you were here, Mr. Goldmann. Right on time. Daisie was getting bullied.”The manager pushed the waiter away and approached Nolan. He nodded at him and said, “Mr. Goldmann, I'm truly sorry to have caused your daughter to have such an unpleasant experience.”‘Mr. Goldmann? He’s the famous Mr. Goldmann from the Goldmanns!?’Jodie staggered, and her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.Nolan looked at her coldly and asked, “What did you say just now?”Jodie was stunned. Nolan was just staring at her silently, and a chill rushed down her spine. Her shoulders tre
“Because I can see the potential in this project.”Yorrick crossed his legs together and shifted himself into a comfortable position. “The Persian Gulf project is a huge project with a long construction period, but it also consumes a lot of funds. Besides, you need to rule out the risk of a financial crisis. Mr. Knowles can barely take care of himself right now, but I'm sure he doesn't want any problems with this project, right? “You have invested 1.1 billion dollars in this project, and if it is not completed on time, it'll be a huge loss. Instead of waiting for the Persian island to be deserted or taken over by others, you should let me join.”Seeing that Anthony was hesitating, Yorrick picked up the teacup and leaned forward. “Mr. Topaz, I can assure you that I won’t let anything happen to the Persian Gulf project.”Anthony lifted his head to look at him. “And what is your requirement, Mr. Hathaway?”Yorrick took a sip from his tea and ran his fingertip over the cup's rim. “My
Colton raised his head. “Dad, aren’t you angry that we’ve caused you trouble?”“Why should I be angry?” Nolan laughed and put down the cup of coffee. “It will be best if you can solve the problem yourself. But even if you can’t solve it, you still have me.”Daisie ran up to him, wrapped her arms around Nolan’s, and grinned. “It’s great that you’re not angry at us. Colton actually helped me today. That bad woman even planned to frame me with a fake diamond bracelet as if I’ve never seen one before this.”Nolan frowned.‘Why do I feel that this little girl is just connoting herself?’After the two children went upstairs, Quincy walked in from outside in a hurry and stopped in front of Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, Hans just called, saying that Elder Master Goldmann has fallen ill.”Nolan frowned. “Does my father know about this?”Quincy nodded. “He already knows. Mr. Goldmann traveled to Stoslo this morning.”Nolan stood up. “Purchase two tickets to Stoslo tomorrow.”Quincy nodded. “Oka
“I know, right?” Lucy looked delighted too. “Ms. Vanderbilt has high standards when it comes to looking for a design. Apart from the refinement of the workpiece, she looks for creativity too. She also insists that all creations must have their own souls.”“Soul?” Naomi stared at her.Lucy explained, “Although I don’t know what the soul of a workpiece is, the motto of Soul Jewelry is to instill souls in all its products. Ms. Vanderbilt said even though a jewelry piece is an inanimate object, its designer must give a meaning to its existence when it’s being designed.”Naomi arrived at a lightbulb moment all of a sudden.Lucy turned to look at her. “Ms. Vanderbilt has high hopes for you.”Naomi was stunned for a split second. “Me?”“Yes.” Lucy nodded as her gaze was fixed on the jewelry in the cabinet. “Ms. Vanderbilt said that you’ll also become a successful jewelry designer in the future.”Naomi’s eyelashes drooped as she did not know what to think.However, at this time, Lucy s
“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
