Daisie looked at him. “How did you know?”Nollace didn’t answer. If he told Daisie he was behind it, he was afraid she might be afraid of him and might stay away.He only showed Daisie the positive side and kept the cruel side for the rest of the world. He never wanted to let Daisie know his dark side or the tactics he used. But the way Daisie looked at him, her clear eyes were so pure he didn’t dare look into them. He was afraid that he would see his actual self through them. He raised his hand and covered her eyes. “Don’t look at me that way.”Daisie pushed him away. “Why not?”Nollance leaned in and joked. “If you continue staring, I’ll kiss you.”That worked. Daisie stopped staring while she blushed. After sending Daisie back to the dormitory and when Nollace was leaving, someone stared at him from afar.Nollace walked over. “How long have you been standing here, Mr. Goldmann?”Colton crossed his arms and coldly said, “How did you let Lisa that disaster out? Why didn
Even if she did not believe it, she would go to check it out at the black market.As long as Daisie came to the black market, Lisa would use the same method and make Daisie experience the same thing she did to Julianna.Sometimes, words were a better weapon than a sword to destroy a person. Freyja herself knew how powerful words were. Unfortunately, it was not Daisie who had fallen into her trap but Julianna. She had stepped into the trap herself, and if she still couldn't see through Lisa's true nature after this incident, then no one could help her anymore.In the end, the college authority deleted the video because it had brought too much trouble to the college. However, everyone already knew about it. On top of that, Lisa was the Knowles’ adopted daughter, so everyone showed excessive interest in talking about the matter. Lisa did not know anything about it. She tried to kill herself by cutting her wrist and lured Tristan to the hospital. After the doctor told Tristan
“There’s no need to rush things.” He closed the menu and handed it to the waiter. “We can go after we finish our meal.”Daisie hesitated for a moment and asked, “Didn’t you arrange a place for Lisa to stay? Then why would she…”Nollace pushed a glass of juice to her and chimed in. “Do you really think I'd do that for her?”Daisie was stumped.Nollace then replied, “That was just an excuse so that she would leave the Knowles willingly.” Daisie had no idea why but she heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Nollace had not arranged a place for Lisa. She would not feel comfortable if Nollace did everything Lisa demanded and treated her too nicely. After all, she did not like Lisa, and she did not want Nollace to be so nice to Lisa. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Hold on a second. Are you the one who sent her to the black market?”Nollace froze and lifted his head to look into her clear eyes. “Do you wish I was the one who did it?”Daisie lowered her head an
Daisie thought Nollace had asked the waiter to pass the note to her, so she got to her feet and headed to the parking lot.When she arrived at the parking lot, she looked around but couldn’t see Nollace.Just as she pulled her phone out to call Nollace, someone snuck up to her from her back and covered her nose with a handkerchief.He then dragged her into the car. Her phone dropped to the ground, and the call was connected.By the time Nollace returned to the restaurant, Daisie was already gone. When he saw the note on the table, his face sank. He stopped a waiter and ordered, “Bring me to the surveillance room! Hurry!” A car was traveling fast on the road. Nollace had found the information about the owner of the car through the car plate.It was Lara's driver.He made a call to Edison and barked out his order coldly, “Get me Ken.”…When Daisie cracked her eyes open, she found that her hands were tied. Before she could realize what had happened, someone pushed the door o
Lara stared at her. This was the first time she didn't see any fear in someone's eyes after being threatened with disfigurement.She leaned closer to her and grabbed her hair. “Do you really think I won’t do it?”Daisie hissed in pain and smiled weakly. “As long as you untie me, I assure you that I won’t get angry no matter what you do to me.”Lara turned around to look at the people behind her.The man received her signal and pulled a knife out to cut the rope.However, at the moment the rope dropped to the ground, Daisie grabbed the man’s wrist and snatched the knife out of his hand.After that, she scrambled up from the ground and pounced at Lara. She put the knife on Lara’s neck and snarled, “Stand back!” The group of men did not dare to take a single step forward.Lara froze. The chilly sensation that she felt from her neck caused her face to turn pale with fright. “H-How dare you attack me!? I’m telling you. If I die, you won’t get out of here alive either!”Lara had un
Lara did not take Nollace’s threat seriously. “The Knowles are nothing compared to the Reeses. I don’t know where he gets the guts from to threaten me. Also, Ken, how could you stand on their side just now? Do you still want to marry me or not?”Ken took a deep breath and loosened his grip. He looked at Lara expressionlessly and laughed. “What you should be worried about isn’t our marriage anymore.”Lara was stunned.Meanwhile, inside the car…Daisie nestled in Nollace's arms—her body was shaking and screaming in pain.Nollace tightened his arms and caressed the wound at the corner of her eyes. “Does it hurt? Where else did she hit you?”She forced a smile on her face and replied, “My entire body is screaming in pain.”She felt pain in her chest as well whenever she breathed.Nollace told Edison to drive faster, and Edison did as he was told.Daisie asked softly, “Will I get disfigured?”“Nope,” Nollace replied as he landed a deep kiss on her forehead. “The wound isn’t deep
Daisie pouted.The door was pushed open abruptly. Colton stormed in and grabbed Nollace by the hem of his collar. “Knowles, you brought my sister out but didn’t take good care of her! What the hell were you doing!?”Nollace did not say anything to refute.Daisie endured the pain and explained anxiously, “Colton, he brought me out only because I said I want to visit Juliana.”Colton let go of him, but he was still exasperated. “Why would you go out and visit her when there’s nothing special? Have you forgotten what she and Lisa tried to do to you just because they failed to harm you? Daisie Vanderbilt, can you please be more mindful about things like this?”Upon learning that she was abducted and gotten admitted to the hospital, he rushed straight to the hospital, feeling both furious and worried.What was more, it had happened when she went out with Nollace.Daisie stared at the ceiling and let off a faint sigh. “Colton, I wasn’t the one who was going around looking for trouble.
‘It’s no wonder that business hasn’t been going as smoothly as before recently as if there’s an invisible resistance that’s holding the Reeses back. Even my old friends in the political circle who I can get in touch with during normal times have been avoiding me deliberately.‘If it wasn’t for the investigation, I probably wouldn’t even know what’s been going on nowadays.‘If I had only offended one family, I might still be able to withstand it. But the main thing is that I’ve offended three in one go. The pressure from all three parties isn’t something the Reeses can bear.‘I’ve offended the Hathaways. That’s why all the politicians who were once close to me are thinking twice before they approach me. No one would have the guts to go against the Hathways. After all, the Hathaways totally have the ability and financial power to rival the entire Yaramoor.‘Even if I were to take a step back from the political field and retreat into the business circle, I would still have to face the
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
