If only Tanner could have a do-over, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.Meanwhile, ar Morwich…Pearl sat in her hospital room while the doctor removed the gauze wrapped around her face, and the nurse placed a mirror in front of her.She looked at the unfamiliar face that had undergone two surgeries and was badly swollen. The doctor told her, “Ms. Santiago, avoid rubbing your face within the next half a year for optimum recovery.”Pearl smiled. “Thank you.”After the doctor walked out, Pearl looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She would be able to leave her past behind from now on. Three years later…The media congratulated Soul for getting into the top six listed companies of the country. They were only second to the big Taylor Jewelry, becoming the second-biggest international jewelry brand.The jewelry industry was closely related to the fashion industry. Soul had started off by creating custom-made jewelry and had moved onto high-end custom-made, a great improvement.
The car stopped outside of the hotel. After that, Nolan and Maisie got to the restaurant. The fact that there was no one in the restaurant other than the waiters meant that someone had booked the entire restaurant.The waiters stood uniformly in one line and greeted, “Welcome!”Maisie walked to a white table prepared with a large bouquet of black roses on it. She couldn’t help herself and chuckled. After that, he turned around to look at Nolan. “This is the surprise you prepared for me?”Nolan pulled the chair for her. When she sat down, he leaned closer and said, “It's to celebrate that your dream has finally come true, Zee.”He walked away and sat opposite Maisie. He told the waiter to get them a bottle of red wine. Resting her chin on her palm, Maisie looked at him and smiled. “It’s to catch up to you. But I still have a long way to go.”He took over the red wine and poured it into the decanter.“You can consider yourself very good if you can get into the top ten.”Maisie lif
“Huh?” Barbara looked at Maisie.Maisie smiled and shook her head. “Nothing.”If she had not had a miscarriage that year, she would have four kids by now.Maybe this was her fate. Until now, she did not intend to have a fourth kid.In the meantime, in the interview room of the Blackgold Group…The female interviewee accurately analyzed the industry data of the Blackgold Group, and her confidence made the three interviewers nod with satisfaction.They flipped across her profile.Cecil Wolfsbane, 29 years old, graduated from a prestigious university in Stoslo with a master's degree in architecture. Her academic background was perfect.An interviewer rose to his feet and said, “That’s all for today, Ms. Wolfsbane. We’ll be in touch with you if you’re shortlisted.”Cecil smiled and stood up. She nodded and said, “Thank you.”After that, she took her purse and left the interview room without turning her head back.At that moment, Quincy came over. He subconsciously took a glanc
Linda trembled and lifted her head. She hugged his leg and pleaded, “Mr. Donovan, I… I didn’t want to run. It’s… It’s just that that person is too scary. I don’t want to serve him. He… He’ll kill me!”Mr. Donovan grabbed her hair and said, “This is the path you’ve chosen, and now you’re telling me that you don’t want to serve him?”He gave her a slap, causing her face to swell up.Mr. Donovan then spat on the ground and continued. “You have two choices now. Either you give me $150,000, or you go back and apologize to the customer. If not, I’ll kill you. Right here, right now.”Linda scrambled up from the ground and got on her knees. “I… I’ll pay you! I’ll pay you!” She did not want to go back to face that mad customer anymore. She would die!“Three days.” Mr. Donovan grabbed her hair and forced her to look him in the eyes. “If I don’t receive money from you in three days, I’ll shred you to pieces and throw you into the river to feed the fish.”After that, he left with his men,
“Maisie, do… Do you think I’m lying to you? I’m not lying!” Linda said flusteredly. It went without saying that she couldn’t tell Maisie that she knew about it. She was worried Maisie wouldn’t lend her the money if she told her.“Linda, you should be well aware that I don’t like it when other people lie to me. People who have lied once will need even more lies to cover up their previous lies. If you knew the nature of the work when you signed the contract, then you deserve what happened to you today. If you were cheated, I will help you lawfully pay the compensation,” Maisie said calmly.Linda was devastated when she heard what Maisie said. “Maisie, are you really not going to lend me $150,000? I'm your cousin! What do you care about $150,000 with your current status?”“$150,000 are money too.” Maisie’s face turned stern. “Money doesn’t grow on trees. You indeed are my cousin, but I don’t have an obligation to help you. You should be grateful that I’m willing to lend the money to yo
Cecile rolled the window up and drove away, leaving Linda standing frozen stiff on the spot. She looked at the name card in her hand and pressed her lips thin.In the evening, at the Blue Bay villa…After Maisie finished her bath, she wrapped herself and her wet hair with a towel. She stood in front of her dressing table and pulled out her face cream.When Nolan came into the room, he threw the jacket on his arm to the bed and hugged her from the back. He leaned closer and whispered into her ear, “What a surprise. The first thing I see after I come back is such a beautiful scene. She looked at him back through the mirror and asked, “Sometimes I really wonder what’s in your head.”He chuckled deeply. “What’s in my head? It’s all about you, Zee.”She was applying cream on her face right now. She turned her head around, and just when she attempted to wipe the remaining cream on her hand to his face, he avoided her and grabbed her wrist. He giggled and said, "You're so naughty, Zee.
“I see.” The receptionist nodded and said something to the other female employee.The female employee no longer doubted Linda, so she approached her to take over. “You just started working. All the teas that you see here are reserved especially for the administration department. Ms. Vanderbilt likes to drink Earl Grey, and the temperature mustn’t be too hot.”Linda nodded, staring at the teapot she had poured the powder into.After the female employee poured water into the teapot, she boiled the pot on the induction cooker. A few minutes passed while they were waiting for the water to boil, and Linda did not dare to speak too much for fear of being discovered.When the water started boiling, the female employee placed a tea bag she took out of a box reserved exclusively for Maisie into the thermos and poured the water into it.Linda took a deep breath as she started to perspire profusely on her temples. But she calmed down as soon as she thought about what the woman had told her,
After saying that, Quincy stood with his arms akimbo and complained, “It’s not easy to be someone’s personal assistant nowadays. Delivering food for my boss is one of the errands I have to run while I’m not managing the company for him. And my salary gets deducted instead of increasing…”Saydie glanced at him expressionlessly. “I’ll pass this message on to Mr. Goldmann without leaving out a single word.”“Don’t!” Quincy shut up immediately and then looked around with an aggrieved face. “I was just joking around, Ma’am. I’m begging you. We’ve been working together for three years now. Can we please just live together peacefully?”His gaze then landed on the report and thermos that were in Saydie’s hand. “What are these?”Saydie handed the report to him. “See it for yourself.”Quincy’s expression changed slightly when he skimmed through the report.Saydie returned to the office and passed the report results to Maisie. She also reported to her that she had run into Quincy downstairs
“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
