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 had grown up in a very protective household, just like a delicate flower that was raised in a greenhouse and had never experienced a single storm in its life. So, how could she have seen such cruelties?That was especially so when he was related to why Ayan got tortured in the first place.Another reason Nollace did not dare to tell Daisie about Ayan was that he was worried she would learn about his involvement.That was why he had only left his good side to Daisie.At the same time, on the other side of the city, in the Pruitt manor…The sound of a slap resounded in the living room.Freyja’s face was turned to the side, and her cheek flushed.She did not scream out of pain but listened to Sandy’s reprimand. “Just whose side are you on? Your brother’s plan almost succeeded, and you’ve ruined it!”As long as Daisie and Nollace could no longer get along because of this incident, Ken would have the opportunity to use this incident to get a hold of the daughter of the Goldma
“She’s stubborn and won’t behave. So what if I lock her up for two days? Do you feel bad?” Sandy looked cold. Brandon frowned. “She’s your daughter.”She stopped what she was doing and looked up. “I’m doing this because she’s my daughter. She doesn’t respect me.”Brandon wanted to say something, but the housekeeper walked over anxiously, “Ma’am, Ms. Vanderbilt is here.”Sandy paused, then laughed. “I guess the Goldmann princess is worried about my daughter. Let her in.”Before the housekeeper could invite her, Daisie had already walked in. “Where’s Freyja?”She left her manners at the door. Sandy looked at her. “Ms. Vanderbilt, Fey isn’t feeling well and is resting. I don’t think she should be entertaining guests.”She slowly got up. “Have you had lunch? I’ll get them to prepare something—”“I’m not here for lunch.” Daisie went straight to the point. “You locked up Freyja, didn’t you?”Sandy’s expression froze while she looked toward the maids standing at the side. They did
