Maisie smirked. “If you’re taking pity on her, I may assign her to you.”Nolan lowered his gaze and smiled. He got up, walked toward her, and wrapped an arm around her waist rapidly before taking a few steps forward and pinning her against the door. “What happened to you claiming that you’re not jealous?”Maisie looked at him coldly. She could not stand the sight of Linda’s feigned act of being weaker than Willow. In addition, was it wrong for her to build up Linda’s endurance of hardships?She shoved away his hand. “Don’t be holding and hugging me out of nowhere. It’s inappropriate if seen by others.”“It’s good for them to see too.” As he was speaking, he went for her lips.Maisie was so furious that she bit him. “Will you please behave yourself, Nolan!?”Nolan raised his hand and cupped the back of her head. He pressed his lips against her and pushed his tongue to taste her sweetness. He could obviously feel that she was getting used to his kiss…“Hmm…” Maisie reached for h
Naturally, Leila knew that her daughter was still hung up on Nolan, so she hastily said, “Don’t mind Nolan for now. Do you think you still need to concern yourself with Nolan not being attracted to you when you’re the heiress of the de Armas?”At the mention of this, Willow held her mother’s hand and said, “You’re right, Mom. We must make the Lucas family fully believe that I’m Marina’s daughter. However, I’ll still need to get my hands on the b*tch’s hair so I can use it for the DNA test.”Leila sneered. “That’s easy. The silly girl Linda is working in Blackgold now. We shall send her to handle this task so the little b*tch Maisie won’t suspect us.”…Linda, who had never engaged in manual labor work, was angry and aggrieved after being assigned as an intern in the warehouse. ‘Damn it! Maisie must have done this on purpose!’On the other hand, it was at this time when she received her aunt Leila’s call, so she began complaining to Leila without the slightest hesitation.Leila
Maisie said, “If she bears another male heir for real, perhaps her status in the Vanderbilts will be different in the case of Madam Vanderbilt being pleased and loving the grandson.”‘Aunt Leila is trying to bear a male heir?’Linda expressed her astonishment. She was aware of her grandmother valuing grandsons more than granddaughters all the while.Her deadbeat younger brother had always been highly regarded more than her in Coralia. She was compelled to take on the chores at home despite her young age, while her brother needed not to do anything.Her grandmother had only treated her a little better only when she was about the age to wed. Her grandmother was counting on her to marry into a rich family so she could support her younger brother financially.However, Madam Vanderbilt had no idea that she wanted to marry the rich not because she wanted to support her brother financially but because she wanted to cut loose from being ordered around by her brother.If her aunt were to
“She’s willing to get a DNA test.” Larissa turned to look at him. “When the results come out, you’ll have to accept it no matter what.”Louis shrugged. Ever since Willow had yelled at the two children in the Michelin restaurant and had thrown coffee at someone, he never had a good feeling about her.He had heard his mother talk about his aunt Marina. Given Marina’s upbringing, her child wouldn’t be so uncivilized. But if it was, as his mother said, when the DNA results came out, and they confirmed it, she would be his cousin, even though he still wouldn’t like her. “What did you find out about the designer Zora?”Louis’ eyes darted. “Yes, she’s a luxury jewelry designer named Maisie Vanderbilt. She has something going on with Mr. Goldmann.”Larissa’s eyes darkened. “It’s her?”Willow had told her that she had a stepsister called Maisie, who had worked with Ms. Santiago to frame her. So she was the one behind all the drama online, and she was Nolan Goldmann’s woman? Larissa was
“Grandpa, did you miss us?” Daisie beamed. “Of course, I missed you to bits!” Mr. Goldmann Sr. tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes overflowing with love. It was the first time Colton was there, so everything was new to him. “Grandpa, this place is so beautiful!”Mr. Goldmann Sr. laughed heartily. “Haha, this is your home too.”The maid guided Maisie to her room. The room had modern decor, but the view there was mesmerizing, and it was quiet. They could see a manmade pond and the woods.Her phone rang. It was Stephen. She walked to the window, hesitantly putting the phone to her ear. “Dad?”“Maisie, I was going through the items left by your mom recently. I’ll pass them to you when you have time to come over. “‘Mom’s items?’She had always been under the impression that her father had not kept anything she left. Maisie pressed her lips together, and her voice was a little coarse. “Okay.”The moment the call cut off, Maisie held her phone to her chest and turned around
“Even if I did see, is that something I should be surprised about?” Maisie shrugged and smiled. Nolan squinted and walked past her, “I guess you wouldn’t mind.” So there was no point explaining. Maisie was rooted on the spot. After Nolan said that, she felt a prick in her heart. It was very uncomfortable. She held her first. Yes, she didn’t mind. There shouldn’t be anything going on between them. She didn’t know that the three kids had seen everything. Their parents’ relationship was on ‘red alert’!Mr. Goldmann Sr. stood behind the three of them, lightly patting their heads. After Maisie walked away, the three said, “Grandpa, what should we do if Mommy won’t accept Daddy?”Mr. Goldmann Sr. understood what was happening. “Then the problem would be your mother. Why wouldn’t she accept him? It’s probably because she is uncertain.”She was still uncertain whether Nolan was the person she could rely on, so she was feeling really insecure about love, marriage, and building a fa
Maisie paused but smiled awkwardly. “I wasn’t worried.”“I was just telling you. Cherie isn’t interested in Nolan. You’ll like her once you get to know her.”Colton said, “Yes, Mommy, Aunt Cherie is very nice. She’s just a little loud and a little rough around the edges.”Maisie just smiled. If she said anything more, it would show that she was jealous. She wasn’t going to be jealous because of Nolan!She would only be jealous because another woman had already bought over the three rugrats!Daisie went close to Colton and whispered. “Do you think Mommy looks angry?”Colton nodded in agreement. Cherie came staggering in and yelled loudly, “Oh no, no!”She walked in huffing, resting on the door. Mr. Goldmann Sr stood up. “What’s going on? Aren’t you out with Nolan and Waylon?”Cherie waved her hand and said, “Waylon said that he wanted to buy some toys for his siblings, so we went to the market, but Waylon went missing. I split up with Nolan to search, but now I can’t find ei
Nolan’s phone!Maisie almost forgot about that. She picked up her phone and called him, but it didn’t go through. Waylon was probably wearing his phone watch. She dialed his number, but it didn’t go through either. She was losing it. Had something happened to them?“My brother is here!” Right after Cherie said that, Quincy and some bodyguards appeared. “What happened to Mr. Goldmann and Waylon?”“I’m sorry, it was my fault for not keeping an eye on them. Waylon suddenly disappeared, and I split up with Mr. Goldmann to search, but I ended up losing them both!”That was the first time Cherie had met a setback like that. She was very familiar with every corner of the town, but she had lost a child who was under her nose. That was a huge disgrace. “Mr. Goldmann probably went to find Waylon. Could they be in the wild?”If Waylon was kidnapped, those people wouldn’t hang around a crowd. They would surely go somewhere remote. “What are we waiting for then? Go now!”Cherie didn
