Quincy had a sad expression. He was actually very impressed with Nolan’s acting, but that was too much. How could he kick him out?Cecile suddenly showed up next to Quincy. “Mr. Lawson.”Quincy turned to look at her. He was surprised but then smiled. “Ms. Wolfsbane, Mr. Goldmann is in a bad mood. I’m afraid that he won't be able to focus on work.”The woman must have heard the rumors in the company, so shouldn’t she take the chance to annoy Maisie?The Goldmann couple had put on a performance because they wanted to give Cecile another chance. If she thought that Nolan wouldn’t stand on Maisie’s side, then she would have her chance.Why was she there? Did she have another plan?“Oh?” She pretended to be troubled. “But there’s something that I need to talk to Mr. Goldmann about. Could you help me, please?”Quincy scratched his chin. “Hmm… I’ll have to ask him, but I can’t promise anything.”She smiled. “Sure.”Quincy knocked on the door when Nolan’s cold voice could be heard. “D
Nolan’s eyes were hard to read. “So, you think that benefits are important, right?”Cecile smiled and said. “Everyone who runs an empire would be interested in benefits.” She walked forward and leaned closer. “If my husband was a businessman, I would support his choices. A woman who can’t even resolve a conflict isn’t a good wife.”Nolan’s expression was hard to read when he looked at her and was quiet. Cecile stuffed a lipstick into his coat pocket and smiled seductively at him. “If you trust me, I can be like Mr. Lawson and help you.”Nolan laughed. “Sure, if you’re so confident, I can give you a chance.”Cecile stood up straight and smiled. “I won’t let you down.”After she left, Nolan took out the lipstick, threw it into the trash, and then wiped his hand with a napkin.Quincy walked in. “Mr. Goldmann, what did she want?”“She isn't just after Zee.” Nolan stood up, walked to Quincy, and patted his shoulder. “This is going to be a long performance, so we need to find out wh
Nolan loosened his tie and calmly said, “No.”Cecile saw that Maisie was upset, so she tried to explain, “Mrs. Vanderbilt, it’s a misunderstanding—”“This is none of your business.” Maisie glared at her.Cecile was happy when she saw that. “How could you suspect him? We’re just working together, and you’re his wife. You should trust him.”Maisie stared at her face and chuckled. “What? Are you feeling bad because of this? You knew that I’m his wife, but if I didn’t show up just now, you’d probably be in his arms already.”Nolan almost smiled, but he kept his composure. “Zee, go home.”Maisie yelled, “Must you keep this woman around!?”Nolan frowned. “This is my office. Don’t make a scene here.”Cecile was relieved when Nolan said that, so she continued. “Ma’am, this isn’t Soul. It’s Blackgold. Please understand—”Maisie slapped her across the face when she almost finished.Cecile turned her face over and looked at Maisie in disbelief. “Ma’am—”Maisie approached her. “Who do y
Maisie leaned closer and couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his black eye. “I’m sorry, Quincy, we have to make it look believable. Saydie did pull back.”“You’re all devils!” Quincy angrily got out of the car.After that incident, a lot of people believed that Maisie and Nolan were breaking up, and the rumors even got to Nicholas. When Nolan got home, he was summoned to the study.Nicholas slammed on the desk angrily. “How dare you, you rascal!?”Alfred had told Nolan about this, so he knew why his father wanted to speak to him. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Dad, it’s not what you think.”“What then?” Nicolas knocked on the desk. “Nolan, you begged Zee to marry you, but now that you have her, you’re not even appreciating her?”Nolan was feeling more and more helpless. “I told you, it’s not what you think.”“What else then—”Nicholas looked at the things that were on the desk and finally picked up a book to throw at him. Maisie suddenly rushed it. “Dad, hold on!”Nic
Even though he was just 13, he was already 5’9’’. He looked exactly like the handsome protagonist of a TV series when he was in his uniform.The men in black searched the residence, and after a long time, one of them rushed to the car with something in hand. When Waylon lowered the window, the man said, “Young Mr. Goldmann, we found this box.”Waylon took the box and opened it. There was an old bronze pocket watch that could be opened up. There was a picture about the size of an inch inside. A row of men in black stood in the yard of the Goldmann Court, and when they saw Waylon walking over, they courteously greeted him, “Young Master Goldmann.”He walked between them. “Where’s Grandpa?”One of the men replied, “In the study.” Then he brought him to the study. Waylon walked in, and Titus looked up, who was going through some documents. “Waylon, how can I help you?”Nolan placed the pocket watch on the desk, which made Titus pause. He picked up the watch carefully. “Where did y
“My Zee is being jealous right now.” Nolan chuckled as he pulled her back into his arms. “But unfortunately, you’re just worrying for nothing.”She was stunned. “Nothing? What do you mean?”The smile on his face deepened as he said, “You think she likes me, but after I’ve given her so many chances, she didn’t make any advances on me. Apparently, she isn't interested in taking me away from you.”She squinted. “Could it be that you’ve lost your charm since you’re old now?”Nolan did not know whether he should be laughing or getting angry right now. “What are you thinking about? Do you really want her to make advances on me?” Maisie chuckled. Jokes aside, if he really allowed Cecile to get any closer to him, she would skin him when they got home.Maisie leaned against the back of the chair. “I can’t believe that she isn’t interested in you, but don’t you think it’s strange if her objective of staying by yourself is to sow discord between us?”Nolan leaned closer and rubbed the cor
The long-haired girl approached her and looked at her in a condescending manner. “You think Daisie treats you as a friend, so you consider yourself a princess? Let me tell you something, you can change your appearance, but you can't change the fact that you're poor. Being poor isn't your fault, but you shouldn't take other people's belongings to show off.”Lisa clenched her fists tightly. The girl squatted in front of her and grabbed her wrist. She looked at her watch and continued. “Look, you can afford a $3,000 watch because you’re Daisie’s friend. Does she know about your vanity?” Lisa’s shoulder trembled. She lowered her eyes and said, “I’m not that kind of person—”“You’re not? You have the nerve to say that in front of me.” The girl went closer to her. “I know all of your secrets.”Lisa’s face turned pale.“Leah!” When Daisie arrived, she saw Leah was dragging Lisa.Lisa was sitting on the ground, so Daisie went forward and pushed Leah away. “Didn’t I already tell you
Saydie nodded. She grabbed the man up from the ground and shoved him into the car.In a private room of Glitz…A group of bodyguards was beating the man. His hands were cuffed, so he couldn’t fight back. The group of bodyguards only stopped when Maisie appeared. She walked to the couch and took her seat. She then looked at the man lying on the floor in a battered state. “You’re the one who ran Linda over, right?”The man remained silent.At that moment, the bodyguard said, “Ma’am, this kid is tough. Should we continue to beat him?”“He won’t speak even if you beat him to death.” Maisie smiled. “There are many other ways to make him speak other than beating him.”“You’re right, Ma’am,” the bodyguard said as he scratched his head embarrassingly.Maisie stood up and walked up to the man. “Cecile… Oh no, I should call her Maxine. It seems to me that you two are rather close. You aren’t working with her for money only, are you? You aren’t from Bassburgh. You came here with her from
