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
Daisie squinted and grinned. “It ended long ago.”“What are you holding in your arms?”“This...” Daisie did not know how to explain it. Thus, she lowered her head and pursed her lips. “If I were to tell you the truth, would you be angry?”Nollace stared at her face and squinted. “Won’t you be afraid that I’ll be angry if you keep it from me?”“This is something that Ayan’s father brought him. His father hasn’t been able to contact him, so I—”Before she could finish speaking, Nollace took a deep breath. “It’s Ayan again. Do you plan to forgive him?”“It’s not a matter of forgiving him or not. His father looks very pitiful, so I’m only delivering this to Ayan on his behalf. What he did has nothing to do with his father.”Nollace scoffed out of anger. “Then, do you know his whereabouts?”Daisie was startled. “I don’t know, so I’m going to ask Colton to help me...”“He doesn’t know either.” Nollace was unusually calm, “I’m the only person who knows where he is now.”Daisie looke
“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
