Nollace looked calm on the surface, but if he started scheming, she wouldn’t stand a chance.Tristan would at least protect her because she had ‘saved’ him.Nollace would be nice on the surface because of Tristan, but he probably wouldn’t be nice to her behind his back.“Peter,” Nollace looked toward the butler, “Give her all the more tiresome tasks. We don’t keep people who don’t contribute here. Get the helpers to keep an eye on her. If she slows down, don’t give her water.”Peter nodded. “Yes, sir.”Lisa sat down on the floor and ignored the pain on her face. She never had to work at home, but she now had to do everything at the Knowles mansion.She had a lower status than a helper there, which was worse than chasing her out of the house. That wouldn’t work—she had to find a way to turn things around!The next day…Daisie went downstairs with her bag and was going to the library to return some books. She stopped in her tracks in the corridor because Nollace was standin
Nollace turned to look at Daisie. “Why?”She looked down. “I shouldn’t have come empty-handed.”She should have at least gotten some flowers or a fruit basket.Nollance faced her and saw that she was pouting. He couldn't help but say, “She’s glad that her future daughter-in-law is visiting.”“Daughter what—”Daisie paused, then stared straight into his eyes in shock. “Daughter-in-law?”He raised his brows and didn’t reply. Daisie’s face turned red while she pushed him away. “I never said I was going to marry you!”She immediately ran away. Nollace watched her run away and couldn’t help but chuckle. Tuesday came…Colton was busy writing a paper and didn’t have time to care about anything else.When he got out of the hall, he suddenly heard people talking about Nollace and Daisie dating.“Is that true? Ms. Goldmann and Mr. Knowles are dating?”“I saw them hanging out during the weekend. It must be true.”Colton stood behind them. “Could you repeat that?”They all jumpe
“I’m sorry,” She shrugged. “I don’t know him very well.”She had started spending time with Nollace recently. Nollace had been sent to Zlokovia to avoid the attacks from Madam Knowles since he was very young, and she didn’t get to know him at that time. She had only heard of him.Nollace was her cousin, who was just a month older than her. She knew that this cousin of hers wasn’t as simple as he seemed.In the eyes of the grownups, he was young but an all-round talent. He was well versed in everything, such as finance, computers, cybersecurity stocks, the film and television industry, game theory, and even jewelry.The people in the industry once said that given his talent, the Knowles would be able to resurge, and it came true.A few years ago, Tristan would bring him along to all kinds of events. He would calmly face all the questions and challenges.There was endless scheming in the business world. Everyone had ulterior motives, and one would be eaten alive if they didn’t ha
Lisa couldn’t accept the fact that she was inferior to Daisie.She clenched her fists tightly, and an idea surfaced in her head.Holding Rick’s arm, Diana appeared in front of the guests. She was in good shape, and her cheeks were ruddy after her recuperation.Even though she was a princess from Yaramoor who had married into the Knowles, she looked more like a gentle and loving normal woman who took care of her husband and child.She picked up a glass of wine and toasted at the guests.Rick called the servants and switched her wine into a glass of juice. “You’ve just recovered, so you shouldn’t be drinking wine.”She chuckled and said, “I’m just going to take a sip, so I think it’s fine. I’m not a kid.”Rick collected her hair behind her ears and smiled at her genuinely. “You’ll forever be a kid in my eyes.”The people in the surrounding laughed and said, “Although they have been married for so many years, they look like newlyweds. I'm sure they love each other very much.” “W
Other people would pity her and think that the Knowles had abused her.Most importantly, Tristan did not know anything about it.Tristan had been busy with work and rarely came home. She was certain that Tristan would ask what was going on when he saw her in her current situation.Since everyone was here, she surmised that she should seize the chance and take the first move. After all, even if Nollace was the one who led the Knowles, she was certain he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in front of everyone and disgrace the Knowles.She just needed to let Tristan know that she had been mistreated the whole time, and once she asked him to let her stay outside alone, she was certain that Tristan wouldn’t say no to her. As long as she could leave Nollace's side, even for just a while, she would be able to get everything she wanted.She looked at Tristan and said carefully, “Godfather, I… I just wanted to make everyone else happy. Did I do something wrong?”Tristan frowned. This b
That was how Daisie used to call Nollace in the past, and she felt upset when she heard other people were using that name to call him.Nollace went to the study room with Tristan. After Lisa had changed, she came downstairs and ran into Daisie.Since she had the nerves to defy and frame Nollace in front of everyone, she was not afraid of Nollace's revenge at all. After all, what she was going to do next was the real show. Didn’t he care about Daisie very much? Didn’t he torture her because of Daisie? What if Daisie's reputation was ruined? Would she still be Nollace's favorite woman? Lisa walked to the table and picked up a glass of wine. Then, she released the tablet she was holding between her fingers into the wine.The tablet dropped into the wine and soon dissolved into the liquid.Seizing the chance while Daisie was talking to other people, she switched her wine. “Daisie.”Daisie turned her head around, and her face sank. She did not know when it happened, but Lisa was
Even Lisa was stunned. She grabbed the stem of the glass so hard that she nearly crushed it.Daisie pinched his waist out of exasperation and whispered, “When did I say I want to be your girlfriend?”Nollace wrapped his arm around her waist in front of everyone and said, “Right now.”She puffed her cheeks out and said, “My brothers won’t agree to it.”He scratched the tip of her nose and looked at her affectionately. “I’ll make sure they will agree to it.”Diana chuckled and approached them with Rick. “Nolly, stop teasing Daisie like that.”Rick chimed in. “That’s right. How could you not tell us that you have a girlfriend?”Nollace smiled and said, “Well, I’m telling you guys now.”Diana took a step forward and grabbed Daisie’s hand. “I like you very much, Daisie. And I’m really happy that you can be Nolly’s girlfriend.” Daisie’s face turned red in embarrassment.The reason Nollace had announced his relationship with Daisie was to shift everyone's attention from Lisa. If
Peter stopped the car and killed the engine. He looked at Lisa through the rear mirror and asked expressionlessly, “Do you really think Young Master Knowles would let you have your ways?”Lisa trembled. “What do you mean?” Peter did not reply.A few men came forward and opened the door. They tried to drag her out of the car, but she struggled with all her might. “No! Let go of me! I’m going back! I want to see my godfather—”“There’s nothing Mr. Tristan can do even if you find him. Thus, drop the thought.”Lisa was dragged out of the car. She cried and shouted at the top of her lungs. “No! I don’t want to come to this place! I want to see Nollace!”A car stopped in front of her, and Nollace got out of the car. Those men bowed and greeted him reverently, “Young Master Knowles.”Lisa threw herself on him and grabbed his trousers. Her face was filled with snot as she cried, “Nolly, why are you doing this to me? Even if you hate me very much, how can you send me here? Are you not w
