Nollace was stunned, lowered his gaze, and let off a sudden chuckle after a while. “Is it because of me?”He then leaned forward and moved half an inch closer to her. “Then do tell me, what did I do to upset you?”Daisie dodged his gaze and looked away. “I heard that... Lisa tried to seduce you last night.”Nollace stared at her as if he did not expect her to be angry because of this, and she clearly looked very jealous.He smiled. “Do you mind this?”“How can I not mind that? You’re my boyfriend, and she’s already done that to you. Even I haven’t—” Daisie forced the remaining sentence that almost blurted out back down her windpipe.‘What I wanted to say is that even I haven’t done it to him yet.‘But how can I have such an outrageous idea? If Nollace were to know about this, he would definitely think that I’m a promiscuous and horny lady.’Nollace looked at her fixedly. “What have you not done?”She hurriedly changed her words. “I haven’t... I haven’t even entered your bedroo
At the hospital…A figure appeared at the door after Lisa left the ward.Lara was sitting on the edge of the bed, and her gaze looked dim until the moment she heard footsteps approaching. She turned around and could not help but ask warily, “Who are you?”The man smiled. “Young Master Knowles asked me to tell you that he can let things slide this time around.”Lara was surprised and astonished for a split second, but she then sneered. “Do you think I’ll need him to let me go now? I’ve lost everything now, so I’m not afraid of anyone.”Those who had lost everything would have nothing else to lose, so she had nothing to worry about at this moment.The man approached her. “Ms. Reese, do you know Mr. Matthews?”Donald Matthews—it was impossible for Lara not to know this name. He was a man who had managed to make all women in Yaramoor feel afraid.‘This man, Donald Matthews, invited me to dinner several times, but I rejected all of them because I knew the reason behind all his invit
Lara wore a wide hat, covering half of her face, which was wrapped in bandages. She had not recovered from her injuries, and when she was discharged from the hospital, her entire face was still rather inflamed and bloated. Compared to Lisa, who was dressed in an extremely vibrant and glamorous dress, Lara could not look any more ordinary.In the past, she would not allow any other woman to look more gorgeous than her and snatch all attention from her at a party or banquet.But she could only hope she had made herself ugly enough tonight.The waiter brought them to a private room, and the two men waiting outside the private room pushed the door open for them.The man sitting in the private room was wearing a blue suit. He had a profound facial profile, a well-built figure, a typical aquiline nose, and a pair of blue, stern-looking eyes.He poured a glass of red wine, took a sniff from the glass, and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve invited you out for dinner many times before, and you
The situation carried on until a figure slammed his silverware on the table. The sound was not thunderous, but it was loud enough to shock everyone at the table. The three of them raised their heads, and Colton had already sat down.Daisie was stunned for a while and quickly withdrew her hand that was under the table. “Colton...”Colton and Nollace confronted each other with a series of glares—the two of them looked exceptionally unpredictable and unfathomable.Daisie did not dare to say anything at this moment for fear she would say something wrong that would spark a brawl between Colton and Nollace.In the end, it was Nollace who broke the solemn and awkward atmosphere. “You rarely come to this dining hall, Colton.”Victoria College’s dining halls had a wide variety of food, but most of them offered Western food, and the price was slightly lower.In addition to the canteens, there were also restaurants in the college that offered more exotic cuisines.Most of the students came
As soon as Lisa left the hotel, she received a call from Ivanka.She pursed her lips and tapped on the answer button. “Ms. Tomlin.”Little did she know, a bodyguard hiding in the shadows monitored every move she made.The hazy sky turned dark gradually, and nightfall arrived in the blink of an eye.A black sedan was driving toward the Knowles mansion in a hurry.Nollace leaned on the back seat and scrolled through his phone. The wallpaper that he applied on the screen of his phone was the photo of a mermaid outfit that Daisie wore during the shoot.She lay languidly on the reef, the light reflected off the water and onto her fair skin, and her eyes looked crystal clear and innocent.Such a pair of eyes were scarce in the world.After seeing all kinds of things that the world had to offer and experiencing the coldness of society, it was very easy for one’s innocence to be eradicated by their personal growth.Daisie’s innocence and simplicity were too precious—they were so preci
Controlling one and working against the other was better than letting two smart women work together and putting Daisie in danger.There wasn't a need for him to do anything to Lisa because she wouldn’t last long. At that moment, Lisa took a cab heading toward the address of the villa written on the note. She hadn’t told Ivanka that she was chased out of the Knowles. If she could use that man to turn things around, she would do her best to get out of Ivanka’s control.The cab stopped nearby. Lisa looked out the window and saw that it was pitch black around. There wasn’t a huge villa as she had imagined, but it was an abandoned construction site. The yellow road lights lit up the way, but everything else was in darkness. She paused and questioned the driver, “Are we at the wrong place?”The driver didn’t reply but suddenly turned off the lights.Lisa realized that she was in danger, so she opened the door and rushed out. After running a few steps, a few men came out from th
Daisie didn’t know that when she had gone to see Nollace, the bodyguards had already recognized him.The housekeeper went in to prepare breakfast. She remembered something and poked her head out to ask, “Have you had something to eat, sir?”Nollace smiled. “Could you please prepare mine too, please?”Daisie was curious. “You haven’t had breakfast?”He lazily leaned back. “I just want to get free food here.”Daisie put her hands on her hips. “You need to pay for the food.”Nollace suddenly held out his hand and pulled her onto his thighs. She was shocked and immediately looked toward the kitchen. The housekeeper was preparing breakfast and didn’t notice what was going on in the living room.She nervously lowered her voice. “What are you doing?”“Didn’t you ask for payment?” He pinched her chin and then leaned in. “Here’s some interest.”“What interest— Mm!”Before she could finish, Nollace kissed her. She stopped breathing, her hand that was on his shoulder tightened, and he
“Can she not tiptoe?” Nollace chuckled, “Lisa got to where she was because of Ivanka. If Ivanka wanted to use her, she would have planned to control her. If she knew that Lisa was planning to ditch her, no matter where she would go, she would be blocked.”When Lisa fell into the hands of Donald’s people, and once she realized that she had nowhere else to go, Ivanka would be her way out. If she cut Ivanka off, it would be the end of her. Edison looked into the rearview mirror. He had never been disappointed with Nollace’s tactics during all the years that he had worked for him. Even Donald had told the people in the black market that the Knowles kid was a wolf, and if he offended him now, he might bite him in the future. If that didn’t kill him, he would still need to pay with a pound of flesh.Lisa was just a clown to him. She kept challenging Nollace, so it would be weird if he let her off. Meanwhile…When Lisa woke up, she was in a hospital. The construction site workers had
