Maisie walked to the man in black, grabbed a cell phone out of the unconscious woman’s body, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and sent a message to Willow.‘Let’s get her to come here in another 20 minutes.’After sending the message, she put the phone back into her pocket and stood up. “Mr. Khan, I’ll leave this to you.”The man in black nodded.Maisie left the lounge and walked toward the balcony.The middle-aged man standing on the balcony had his long blonde hair tied behind him. He turned around slowly, revealing the retro silver-rimmed thin-frame glasses that had a chain embellishment and a dark black suit, which made him look extremely exquisite.“Uncle Erwin, what a coincidence.” Maisie leaned forward with a playful expression.The gentle middle-aged man in front of her was Erwin. From the outside, it was hard to believe that the owner of this astoundingly attractive half-blood appearance was actually 45 years old.If it weren’t because Maisie had known him since long
“Mr. Goldmann,” Kennedy came over all of a sudden, “Have you seen Zee? I couldn’t get through when I called her.”Willow pretended to be surprised as soon as Kennedy said so. “What? You couldn’t get through? Could something have happened to Zee?”Kennedy stared at Willow suspiciously. ‘Why would she care about Zee?’“No way, is someone really doing such things in the lounge?”“Why would I lie to you? We wanted to go to the lounge just now, but we heard voices coming from inside. Those people aren’t even afraid of being discovered.”The conversation between a few women who walked by caught Nolan’s attention.Willow was secretly complacent when she saw Nolan’s gloomy expression. She then said deliberately, “The lounge..? No way, when I asked the waiter about Zee’s whereabouts just now, the waiter told me that Zee seemed to have gone to the lounge…”Nolan’s eyes were cold and dim as he walked toward the lounge.Willow looked at Nolan’s back while he departed and sneered inwardly.
‘How so! Why is it her!?’“What happened?” Maisie slowly appeared behind the crowd as if nothing had happened before, pretending that she did not know anything.Kennedy stepped forward hurriedly. “Zee, where have you been? Why would they say that you’re—”“I answered a call and went out. What’s the matter?” Maisie pretended to be puzzled.Nolan stared at her. In fact, he already knew that it was not her when he heard the woman’s voice from outside the room just now.As for Willow, her hands that were resting on both sides clenched tightly into fists and trembled slightly when she saw Maisie appear from behind the crowd.‘F*ck! It should’ve been this b*tch! How did it become Ms. Santiago? This is bad!’After Pearl saw Maisie, her expression became distorted instantly. “It’s you! You’re the one who did this to me!”She got up to pounce at Maisie immediately but was stopped by the security guard who had just gotten summoned to the scene by the staff members.“You b*tch! You’re th
‘It’s a pity that she cannot escape the discord that she has sewed with Pearl.’Inside the car…Nolan drove the car back to the Goldmann mansion. Maisie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, kept looking out the window of the car.‘This man hasn’t spoken a word. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?’When he stopped the car at the red light intersection, Nolan turned to look at her, his eyes scorching.Maisie felt it all. She turned her head and met his gaze. “Mr. Goldmann, may I know why you are looking at me like that?”He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do I need a reason to look at my woman?”Maisie gave off a smirk. “Being your woman is quite a risky job. I don’t think you would say so if I were to be the woman in the lounge tonight.”Nolan’s eyes turned indifferent and gloomy.‘What would I do if the woman in the lounge was really her? I’m afraid that I’d kill the men who touched her.’He looked away and smiled faintly. “It seems that I’ve underestimated you.”‘I
Looking at Pearl crying so heartbreakingly, Mrs. Santiago hugged her. “Isn’t it just the Vanderbilts? Don’t worry, your father won’t let the Vanderbilts go now. So listen to me and eat something first.”After finally calming Pearl’s emotions, the butler appeared outside the door of the room. “Madam, there’s a woman named Maisie Vanderbilt who wants to see the young lady.”Pearl wanted to tear her apart badly upon hearing the name “Maisie Vanderbilt”. “I don’t want to see that b*tch, I don’t want to! It’s because of her, it’s all because of her!”Mrs. Santiago calmed her emotions and asked with a stern expression, “She’s ruined my daughter’s future and is shameless enough to pay her a visit?”The butler lowered his head. “This Ms. Vanderbilt is Mr. Goldmann’s girlfriend. She said that she wants to talk to the young lady.”‘Mr. Goldmann’s girlfriend? Could it be the one that Mr. Goldmann announced last night?’Mrs. Santiago’s brows creased.‘The Santiagos can’t afford to offend an
“She’s one of the Vanderbilts too. She’s my half-sister, and she’s my stepmother’s daughter.”Mrs. Santiago looked up at her. “What do you plan to achieve by coming here to see my daughter?”“I can provide your daughter with a chance for redemption, provided that your daughter is willing to repent. Judging from the popularity of this news, it is estimated that it’ll continue to trend for quite a while. Everyone thinks that your daughter has fallen out of her own will, but I believe that you want everyone to think that your daughter was wronged, am I right?”The idea obviously moved Mrs. Santiago.‘Yes, Pearl is in the limelight now. How can she meet anyone in the future if she can’t get past any of these limelights?‘Instead of allowing the public to think that Pearl is a problematic lady, it’s better to make everyone believe that Pearl had been framed. The sympathy that originates from the public’s empathy could at least save Pearl’s innocence and chastity.‘Being framed is a to
#GrasssyGreeen#: She’s that new designer, right? I didn’t expect that she would do such a thing. It turns out that masterpieces don’t really reflect the real personality of the designer. I’m never buying Vaenna’s jewelry anymore.A huge group of netizens started tagging Willow’s Twitter and Facebook accounts in their comments and even started a hashtag to condemn her.#Glazed Onion#: There’s no need to explain anymore. There’s so much concrete evidence, just deactivate your Facebook and Twitter account.#SpicyFood4Life#: You actually call yourself a jewelry designer? You’re an insult to those jewelry designs!#SexyV#: Isn’t it funny? A designer who came up with a collection of jewelry that pays tribute to the Gothic design concept didn’t even know designer Dila. I heard that she was able to come up with such perfect masterpieces after only a month of learning jewelry design. It’s a bit outrageous, don’t you think? I doubt those works have anything to do with her.At the Vanderbilt
Mr. Goldmann Sr. looked at the three rascals. “Then why doesn’t your mother accept your father?”The three rugrats stared at each other and then recounted to Mr. Goldmann Sr. about their mother’s experience. After listening to their explanation, Mr. Goldmann Sr.’s expression turned a little gloomy.‘I didn’t care about Maisie’s background, but I only got to know that Maisie is one of the daughters of the Vanderbilts. Although the Vanderbilts are only a small family in Bassburgh, the Goldmanns can still accept her as our daughter-in-law.‘What I didn’t expect is that my idiot son had actually been blinded and deceived by the illegitimate daughter of the Vanderbilts for six years. No wonder Zee is unwilling to accept my son.‘This kid deserves it!’“Grandpa, you do want Mommy to be with Daddy, right?” Colton asked.Mr. Goldmann Sr. snorted. “Of course.”‘My son has finally met a woman that he likes. There’s no way that I’m breaking them up. In other words, the young lady is the on
“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
