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
Maisie had nothing else to say after listening to that, so she waved her hand. “Okay, you’re a shareholder, and you have the final say here.”She turned around and walked to the customers with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to the VIP room and negotiate about the details.”The customers nodded and followed Maisie to the VIP room.Willow was delighted deep down when she listened to how Nolan protected her.‘I knew that I’m still Nolan’s bias.’“Nolan, I didn’t know that such an incident would happen. I’ll pay more attention in the future.” Willow gave off a sincere and apologetic attitude while admitting her mistakes.Nolan took a glimpse at her and said with a cold tone, “You don’t understand the market, so just don’t walk right into such a situation in the future. Just let Maisie deal with it.”Nolan walked away with Quincy.Willow lowered her eyes as her nails sank into the palm of her hand.‘Maisie, Maisie, Maisie!‘Not only have I not chased her away
Inside the car…Nolan looked out of the car window absently, as if he was still pondering about what Maisie had said. Lost in his train of thoughts, he did not hear Quincy calling out to him repeatedly.“Sir.” Quincy raised his voice.Finally, Nolan came back to his senses and rubbed his forehead. “What is it?”Quincy held up the phone to him. “You have a call from your father, Mr. Goldmann.”Nolan took the phone from his hands and answered, “Dad.”On the other side of the line, at the Goldmann family estate…“You little rascal, did you go and knock someone’s daughter up?”Nolan’s father sat in his backyard sipping scotch. The photo displayed on his tablet showed two kids with an uncanny resemblance to his own son.Nolan paused and furrowed his brows. “Not that I know of.”“Are you sure? Then how do you explain these two kids Royal Crown Entertainment Co. signed? They look just like you.”The old man slammed his glass on the table. “I want to see these two children.”“Dad,
