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
The wolf won the game when the shepherds quarreled. Of course, they were able to get her. Nolan narrowed his eyes. “Is everyone already in their positions?”Quincy nodded. “Yes. We've got people watching the sea, near the airport, and the state highways.”He turned around and went out. “Then, let’s roll out.”When Cecile arrived at the pier, she saw that there were a few cars around the pier. She stopped her car and made a call. “Where are you?”The voice from the other side of the line told her that they were still on their way. They also told her that there was a roadblock along the way. Cecile stared at the few cars on the pier, and her face slowly turned grim. “You guys don’t need to come here anymore. You guys try to get yourself out of there first.”Before the person could say anything, she ended the call decisively. She threw a look at the pier and left.Meanwhile, Maisie and Saydie came out of Glitz. Just when she was about to get into her car, her phone rang. When
“And that kind older sister of mine. I’m grateful that she gave me the opportunity to study at the Turner Institute of Art, but in reality, she still thought that I was inferior to her. She was worried that I would bring disgrace to her, so she told me what to do in my studies. Whenever my teacher complimented me, they’d be calling her name. I hated her. I hated her more than anything in this world. Therefore, when Rowena burned her to death, I was finally free. I didn’t have to live as her shadow anymore.”Maisie felt a chill down her spine when she heard what she said. She took a deep breath and asked, “What do you mean by telling me this?”“You still don’t know, right? About Sue’s death,” Cecile laughed, “Why do you think Rowena could kill Sue? Even when a living person is in a deep sleep, they will wake up nonetheless during a fire due to the smoke. You guys think Rowena started the fire after killing Sue? Well, you are wrong.”Maisie felt a tingle on her scalp. Sue had died dur
At the Private Middle and High School…Middle school students and high school students walked out after school. Most of the students in the school were fetched to and back from school by their family’s private vehicles. Seeing a luxury car parking outside the school’s gate had always been a common scene.Lisa stood outside the school gate and waited for Daisie. She was wearing her clothes. Daisie was slightly late, so she took out her cell phone and took a selfie.Several students then walked by her and looked back at her. Lisa put her phone away and lowered her head in embarrassment immediately.However, she heard the students talking about her clothes. “That blouse looks so beautiful. It must be expensive.”“There are so many rich people studying in this school. It’s normal to run into someone that wears designer clothes.”Lisa knew they were talking about her clothes, but she pretended she did not hear them. Still, she felt delighted deep down.“Lili.” Daisie came out and pla
