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
Maisie chuckled. “Why can’t I ask about this? I’m your mother.”Daisie pouted and did not respond to her.“You’ve grown up and should have your own thoughts about everything, so I can’t control everything that you do or think. You have Colton and Nollace here to protect you, so your father and I can truly be at ease while we’re not by your side.”After saying that, Maisie paused for a few seconds. “However, don’t you ever let such an incident happen again. Otherwise, the self-defense lessons that Saydie has given you would have been in vain.”Daisie lifted her head. “Mom, aren’t you against it?”“What should I be against?” Maisie asked knowingly with a smirk.Daisie buried her head in the pillow, and her cheeks flushed as if she was slightly drunk. “Aren’t you against the fact that I’m dating Nollace?”“If you do have a thing for him too, would me objecting to your decision do your relationship any good?”Maisie understood her better than anyone else in the world. After all, sh
