‘A designer?’Nolan’s expression turned slightly solemn, and he could not help but stare at Colton. “What’s her name?”“Our mommy isn’t very well-known, so you won’t even know who she is even if we were to disclose her name to you. By the way, mister, do you have a girlfriend?” Colton changed the subject swiftly.Nolan squinted.‘A girlfriend? There’s a woman living with me, but I’ve never admitted that she’s my girlfriend.’Colton smiled. “How about we introduce our mommy to you? Although our mommy isn’t very well-known, she’s very awesome. Not to mention that our mommy looks gorgeous. Just look at us! You should be able to imagine just how beautiful our mommy is!”Nolan pressed his lips together tightly and did not utter a single word.‘These two children do look exceptionally outstanding, so the woman who gave birth to them should probably not look too bad.‘But for some reason, it’s almost impossible for me to believe that they really have nothing to do with me whenever I l
Seeing that Nolan was really annoyed, Leila knew that it would not do her anything good if she were to provoke Nolan at that moment.She gnashed her teeth and bowed her head to the two children. “I’m sorry, kids. It’s aunty’s fault, so please forgive me.”‘D*mn, I can’t take things lightly before I get to the bottom of this matter. They definitely can’t stay here if they’re really that b*tch’s children!’Nolan looked at Daisie after Leila left.Daisie suddenly raised her face and grabbed Colton’s hand. “Sorry, mister, we don’t want to eat anymore. We want to go home.”Nolan was flustered, but thinking back to what happened just now, he knew that the children were probably frightened too. “Okay, I’ll send you back.”“Never mind, we’ll go back by ourselves.” Daisie took Colton’s hand and left quickly.Quincy looked dumbfounded. “Mr. Goldmann, these kids do have quite a temper, huh?”Nolan did not respond to him but looked at the two small figures from behind. He was not sure what
Leila may be angry with Maisie, but she had accumulated all the wrath within her. Thus, she went to Stephen and complained about Maisie as soon as she got home.Stephen put down the newspaper, obviously a little surprised. “Zee has returned to Zlokova?”“Yeah, she’s now Zora, a world-renowned jewelry designer. I heard Willie say that she’s so bold that she doesn’t even care to flatter Mr. Goldmann, let alone Willie and I.”Since Stephen knew that his daughter Willow was in a relationship with Mr. Goldmann, he had high hopes for her and valued her a lot.Hence, it was only natural that he could not just sit back and watch from the side when he learned that Maisie was talking back to Mr. Goldmann. After all, not only did Stephen want the reputation and status, but he also did not want to offend the Goldmanns. How could he bear to sit on the bench through this whole incident and witness as his perfect son-in-law was being taken away from him?Stephen folded the newspaper and put it d
Maisie took a deep breath to calm herself down and smiled. “I’m not sure what’s the attitude that Mr. Goldmann wants to see from us. If it’s an apology, then I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”‘All he wants is an apology, isn’t it?’Maisie harnessed all the positive attitude that she had in her and bowed to him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldmann.”Seeing that she had lowered her posture, Nolan felt a little ironic. “I didn’t expect Miss Vanderbilt to apologize on behalf of her friend. I really can’t tell that you’re someone who would do something to hurt your sister.”Maisie straightened her body suspiciously. “What does Mr. Goldmann mean by that?”‘I hurt my sister? Is he talking about Willow?’Nolan approached her, leaned closer to her face, and said with an unconcerned tone, “I thought you’re someone who would bear the consequences of all her doings, but now it seems that you’re nothing more than that.”He said while turning around indifferently, “I’ll let today’s incident slide th
Maisie did not say a word.‘They poured all their thoughts to get me home for dinner. They even invited Nolan here and are now insisting on wanting me to stay for dinner. Then I must stay here to see what this mother-and-daughter pain plan to do.’She then raised her head and chuckled. “Okay, then I’ll stay here for dinner.”Willow and Leila did not expect she would agree, but everything was going according to their plan.Maisie only bowed her head and ate without talking during the entire meal. Stephen and Leila were almost silent throughout the dinner, probably because of Nolan’s presence.Nolan did not eat much. He had wanted to refuse Willow’s invitation when she asked him to accompany her back to the Vanderbilt manor, but Maisie was mentioned.Since Willow had said that Maisie was the one who invited him to the Vanderbilt manor, he would have to see what Maisie had up her sleeves.“Zee, how have you been all these years?”That was probably the only time when Stephen would
“Mr. Goldmann, why would you think that I did it on purpose? All I did was try to match you up with Willow, didn’t I?” she explained while struggling, trying to break her hand free.Nolan hauled her forcibly, and Maisie almost fell into his arms.He gave off a cold voice. “You’re the one who asked Willow to invite me to the Vanderbilt manor. And that’s your scheme all this while?”Maisie was startled and let off a trace of doubt. She then raised her head, met his gaze, and felt a little amused. “So I’m the one who asked Willow to invite you to the Vanderbilt manor? Isn’t my reputation great?”Nolan’s eyes looked stern and cold. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you’re not in the position to stick your hand into the matter between Willow and me. I don’t care what your purpose is, don’t act like you’re a wisenheimer.”“Nolan, I’ll tell you something today. I didn’t ask Willow to invite you over here. Although I don’t know what Willow says to you, these things have nothing to do with me.”Maisie
Maisie looked at her with her arms crossed. “Why don’t you direct that question of yours to your boyfriend? Why are you asking me that?”‘This sounds absolutely absurd. She makes it sound like I’ve snatched her man from her.’Willow’s face turned pale due to the rage. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you won’t be preening yourself for long, just you wait!”She flung her arm and left after leaving such a threat behind.Maisie squinted her eyes as she gazed at Willow leaving the scene. ‘Who will be the triumphant one in the end? That’s still unknown.’At Maisie’s office…Maisie was sitting in front of the computer surfing the Internet, and suddenly a staff member walked in in a hurry. “Ms. Zora, something has happened!”Maisie raised her head calmly upon seeing that she was so nervous. “What’s the matter?”“A few customers bought our jewelry in the store and found that they were all fakes. They’ve tracked the origin of the jewelry to our company and are now in our office building. The employe
Maisie took a glance at Willow, put down the pearl necklace in her hand, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. “I didn’t order this batch of mock-ups, so I won’t take this fall.”Willow came over and grabbed Maisie’s hand. “Zee, you should tell the truth. After all, Vaenna is still your father’s company. You mustn’t destroy your father’s efforts, right?”“I’m telling the truth.” Maisie kept a straight face while pulling her hand away, took the pearl bracelet, and walked to the lady. “Madam, you’ve bought fake jewelry from Vaenna, and I know you’re not in the mood. After all, you’ve paid for it with your money, and that means something.“But don’t worry, I can’t allow Vaenna’s reputation to be dragged through the mud because of some fakes. I promise that not only will your money be refunded, but you can also bring a genuine product back after I’ve gotten to the bottom of this incident.”The lady was stunned. It was only natural for her to accept this arrangement willingl
