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
Colton’s expression looked as restrained as always. “Is there anyone else here besides you?”Freyja chuckled. “You’re being so polite. If something were to happen to Daisie, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to Nollace.”As soon as she said that, she took a closer look at Colton. “You don’t seem to be doing a good job as an elder brother.”Colton’s face looked sullen.Before he could say anything, Freyja had already left without looking back.Daisie walked downstairs and saw Colton standing at the entryway, changing out of his shoes, so she walked over. “Colton.”Colton asked, “Where’s the housekeeper?”She explained with a smile, “The housekeeper’s son is sick today, and I asked her to take the day off to take care of him.”“Have you eaten lunch?”Seeing that he had rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen, Daisie caught up to him. “Are you going to cook?”Colton washed his hands. “Otherwise, would you do it?”In the past, when Waylon was around, it was he who cooked
Maggie was lying on the bed, her whole face was wrapped in gauze, and she pretended to be exasperated. “It hurts as f*ck! Everything is still swollen.”“It’ll recover in a few months.” Ken held the back of her hand. “Don’t worry, Mr. Matthews won’t get tired of your face so quickly.”Maggie’s eyes shifted from side to side. “But what if he gets tired of me?”Ken had a smile on his face, but there was not even a hint of merriment in his eyes. “If he gets bored of you, I’ll get someone to pick you up and out of his place.”“Really?”“Yeah, you should rest first.” Ken got up and walked to the door.At that moment, one of his men stopped beside him.“Sir.” When his man approached his ear and whispered something into it, Ken’s face dimmed instantly, and he immediately ignored the person lying in the ward and left with them.After waiting for them to leave, Maggie took out her cell phone, sent Nollace a text, and deleted the text right after it was sent.On the other side of the cit
Ken glared toward his men.Everyone panicked in an instant. “Sir, we really have no idea about this! We’ll never betray you!”“Ean, what did Maggie do before the surgery?” Ken’s eyes were fixed on Ean’s face.He was clearly doubting Maggie.Beads of cold sweat rolled down Ean’s back as he lowered his head and replied, “She didn’t contact anyone three days before the surgery. She only asked me about Mr. Matthews, and it seemed that she was preparing herself.”Ken did not utter a single word. Although he had doubts about Maggie, she had never had any interaction with the Knowles.He then scoffed. “Doesn’t she blame me for sending her over to Donald?”The question implied that Maggie might betray him because she did not like this arrangement.Ean explained calmly, “But Ayan is a nobody to her. So even if she has a grudge against you, she doesn’t need to do anything with Ayan’s matter.”Feeling that what he said made some sense, Ken stopped talking, turned around, and ordered, “Go
