“You said Ken Pruitt has gotten his hands on my sister?”Nollace stared at him. “The Reeses have fallen, so he would only find another person to leech off. Yorrick ignored him, but if he can get Daisie to join in and solidify his status with the help of the Goldmanns, it will be a different story.”Yorrick Hathaway had seen through his tactics, so Ken couldn't continue with his plan. He might not be able to convince Nolan either. If he wanted a better standing and to get rid of his name as the son of an illegitimate child of royalty, the only way was to use Freyja to get to Daisie. Colton smirked. “He won’t be able to.”The Goldmanns didn’t only have Daisie. There was Waylon and him, and their father was still around, so he wouldn’t be able to get his way. Nollace laughed. “Don’t underestimate him. He’s not as good with straightforward attacks, but you’re not as cunning when it comes to curveballs.”He leaned closer to Colton. “He can’t touch you brothers, so he can only find
Daisie nodded. “Alright.”“Go rest.”Daisie walked into the villa and took a look at Colton, who was outside, then looked down. She balled her hands into fists. The next day, Daisie sat in the seats and watched the students who were late practicing their catwalk. When Ayan came over, he brought drinks for everyone who was practicing and was very friendly. They were all very nice to him too. He kept one bottle of drink, walked toward Daisie, sat down next to her, and handed the bottle to her. “I just bought this.”Daisie took it. “Thanks.”But she didn’t drink it. She just placed it on her right and continued watching the training.Ayan looked at her. “You seem to have been here pretty early.”“I can rest early if I reach early.” Daisie turned around and smiled. “Have you found a partner?”Ayan shrugged, “Not yet.”“I can introduce someone to you.” Daisie smiled. “We have a few girls from my class that are good.”Ayan’s expression froze, but he chuckled in the blink of an
The redhead’s expression changed. “You plan to give me to that devil Matthews?”“It’s because you look so much like Lara Reese.” Ken grabbed her face with no expression. “Matthews loves wild, seductive women like you.”The woman sat on the floor while Ken walked around her. “I’ll arrange for some surgery for you to make your face look as close to Lara as possible. After three months, I’m confident that he’ll be interested in you.”Ken returned to the villa and walked in. Lara sat at the dining table and didn’t look interested in the breakfast that was laid in front of her. She just ate some cereal. The maid walked next to him and lowered her head. “Sir, Ms. Reese cooperated this morning and didn’t make a scene.”Ken nodded. “Leave us.”The maid left, and he walked over to Lara while running his hand along the table, then looked down at her. “You’re finally behaving.”Lara stirred her cereal around with cold eyes.Ken touched her bright blonde curly hair. “What do you think abo
Edison looked at Nollace in surprise. ‘Isn’t this red-haired woman Maggie? The C-Class model who had a scandal with Ken last year?’He remembered that Ken, who was still engaged to Lara last year, was busted by the media for "secretly meeting" with Maggie at a horse farm in a foreign country, and Jonah had been furious about it.After that, Ken stepped forward to explain the whole thing, and everyone put the incident at the back of their minds.Nollace put the magazine down and asked, “He is going to offer you to Mr. Matthews?”Maggie nodded hurriedly. “He's going to turn me into someone who resembles Lara. But I know I'll die once I go to Donald’s side.”Nollace squinted and thought for a few moments. After that, he rose to his feet and asked, “When is he going to do it?”Maggie bit her lips and said, “He has found me a doctor. In about three months.”“You just follow what he wants you to do.”“What?” Maggie was stunned.Nollace then continued indifferently. “I can assure
Ayan went forward and supported her. “Daisie…”Daisie tried to push him away but to no avail.Ayan hurriedly wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “You look tired. Let me bring you to get some rest.”A few students noticed their situation and went forward to ask. Ayan smiled and replied, “She isn’t feeling well, so I’m sending her to the infirmary.”The group of students did not say anything afterward.Suddenly, Daisie pushed him away with all her strength, but her knees accidentally knocked the corner of the chair. She hissed, and the pain woke her up slightly. Seizing her chance while she was in possession of herself, she ran out without even taking the script.Ayan picked up the script and said, “I’ll go look after her.”The group of students looked at each other in confusion.Daisie was moving forward slowly with her hands on the wall. The world in her vision was spinning rapidly. She smacked herself on her head several times, and her blood flowed rapidly. Even her
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, stunning him. He turned his head around, and a fist landed on his face before he could do anything. He fell to the floor. Colton pounced on him and grabbed him by his collar without giving him a chance to take a breath. As he showered Ayan with punches, he roared, “How dare you!? How dare you do this to her!?”When Freyja entered, the first thing she saw was Colton punching Ayan on top of him. She turned her head around and looked at Daisie.She realized that Daisie had been drugged, so she hurriedly got her up from the floor. She patted her cheek and called out her name, “Daisie?“Stop fighting! Come look at Daisie first!” she shouted.Colton’s fist stopped midair. He pushed Ayan away and kicked him for one last time. He pointed at him and said, “If anything happens to her, not only you, tell Ken to wash his neck and wait for me.”Ayan did not say anything in return. His nose was bleeding, and half of his face was bruised. Th
Daisie lowered her head and replied, “I’m feeling a lot better.” “Thank goodness that your brother arrived just in time. Do you still remember how you got roofied?” asked Freyja.Daisie was stunned. “I was roofied!?”She did not know what had happened to her at all. She had not eaten anything at all. All she had ever taken was just a bottle of Coke…Daisie suddenly froze. “Coke… Is it that bottle of Coke?’Freyja looked at her and asked, “Can you remember anything?”“I… I just took a bottle of Coke. But Ayan wasn't the one who gave it to me. Every classmate had a bottle of Coke.”She had always kept her guard up whenever Ayan was around her. She had not drunk from the bottle of water he had given her the last time.However, another classmate gave her that bottle of Coke, and almost all of the students in the auditorium had one. That was why she drank it without thinking twice.After listening to Daisie's narration, Freyja knew Ayan must have put something into the Coke bottle
The man applied some force and pulled the nail out with some flesh. Blood splattered on the man’s face, leaving only a bloodied finger behind. Ayan shouted hysterically. His eyes were filled with blood, his veins were bulging on the corner of his forehead, and there was a layer of sweat on his head. After removing the fifth nail, Ayan passed out from the pain. The man looked at Nollace and said, “He’s fallen unconscious.”Nollace played with his watch and said indifferently, “Wake him up with water and continue.”He rose to his feet with no expression on his face. “Pack these nails up and deliver them to Ken. Tell him that it's a big gift from me.”After that, he turned around and left.When Ken received the bloodied “package,” his face sank.The secretary raised her head carefully and said, “Mr. Pruitt, he said these are Ayan's nails. It seems like Young Mr. Knowles has gotten Ayan. I'm afraid he is in imminent danger.”Ken took a deep breath and said, “It seems like he hasn
