“Mr. Goldmann, why would you think that I did it on purpose? All I did was try to match you up with Willow, didn’t I?” she explained while struggling, trying to break her hand free.Nolan hauled her forcibly, and Maisie almost fell into his arms.He gave off a cold voice. “You’re the one who asked Willow to invite me to the Vanderbilt manor. And that’s your scheme all this while?”Maisie was startled and let off a trace of doubt. She then raised her head, met his gaze, and felt a little amused. “So I’m the one who asked Willow to invite you to the Vanderbilt manor? Isn’t my reputation great?”Nolan’s eyes looked stern and cold. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you’re not in the position to stick your hand into the matter between Willow and me. I don’t care what your purpose is, don’t act like you’re a wisenheimer.”“Nolan, I’ll tell you something today. I didn’t ask Willow to invite you over here. Although I don’t know what Willow says to you, these things have nothing to do with me.”Maisie
Maisie looked at her with her arms crossed. “Why don’t you direct that question of yours to your boyfriend? Why are you asking me that?”‘This sounds absolutely absurd. She makes it sound like I’ve snatched her man from her.’Willow’s face turned pale due to the rage. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you won’t be preening yourself for long, just you wait!”She flung her arm and left after leaving such a threat behind.Maisie squinted her eyes as she gazed at Willow leaving the scene. ‘Who will be the triumphant one in the end? That’s still unknown.’At Maisie’s office…Maisie was sitting in front of the computer surfing the Internet, and suddenly a staff member walked in in a hurry. “Ms. Zora, something has happened!”Maisie raised her head calmly upon seeing that she was so nervous. “What’s the matter?”“A few customers bought our jewelry in the store and found that they were all fakes. They’ve tracked the origin of the jewelry to our company and are now in our office building. The employe
Maisie took a glance at Willow, put down the pearl necklace in her hand, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. “I didn’t order this batch of mock-ups, so I won’t take this fall.”Willow came over and grabbed Maisie’s hand. “Zee, you should tell the truth. After all, Vaenna is still your father’s company. You mustn’t destroy your father’s efforts, right?”“I’m telling the truth.” Maisie kept a straight face while pulling her hand away, took the pearl bracelet, and walked to the lady. “Madam, you’ve bought fake jewelry from Vaenna, and I know you’re not in the mood. After all, you’ve paid for it with your money, and that means something.“But don’t worry, I can’t allow Vaenna’s reputation to be dragged through the mud because of some fakes. I promise that not only will your money be refunded, but you can also bring a genuine product back after I’ve gotten to the bottom of this incident.”The lady was stunned. It was only natural for her to accept this arrangement willingl
Maisie had nothing else to say after listening to that, so she waved her hand. “Okay, you’re a shareholder, and you have the final say here.”She turned around and walked to the customers with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to the VIP room and negotiate about the details.”The customers nodded and followed Maisie to the VIP room.Willow was delighted deep down when she listened to how Nolan protected her.‘I knew that I’m still Nolan’s bias.’“Nolan, I didn’t know that such an incident would happen. I’ll pay more attention in the future.” Willow gave off a sincere and apologetic attitude while admitting her mistakes.Nolan took a glimpse at her and said with a cold tone, “You don’t understand the market, so just don’t walk right into such a situation in the future. Just let Maisie deal with it.”Nolan walked away with Quincy.Willow lowered her eyes as her nails sank into the palm of her hand.‘Maisie, Maisie, Maisie!‘Not only have I not chased her away
Inside the car…Nolan looked out of the car window absently, as if he was still pondering about what Maisie had said. Lost in his train of thoughts, he did not hear Quincy calling out to him repeatedly.“Sir.” Quincy raised his voice.Finally, Nolan came back to his senses and rubbed his forehead. “What is it?”Quincy held up the phone to him. “You have a call from your father, Mr. Goldmann.”Nolan took the phone from his hands and answered, “Dad.”On the other side of the line, at the Goldmann family estate…“You little rascal, did you go and knock someone’s daughter up?”Nolan’s father sat in his backyard sipping scotch. The photo displayed on his tablet showed two kids with an uncanny resemblance to his own son.Nolan paused and furrowed his brows. “Not that I know of.”“Are you sure? Then how do you explain these two kids Royal Crown Entertainment Co. signed? They look just like you.”The old man slammed his glass on the table. “I want to see these two children.”“Dad,
Daisie turned her head to look at him. “We, too, have also seen a man who looks a lot like us.” “Oh?” Nolan’s father was just about to pose his question when he heard the loud greeting of the bodyguard standing by the garden. “Good day, Mr. Goldmann.”Nolan marched right into the pavilion. He glanced at the two children sitting next to his old man and finally said, “Dad, how could you bring these children here without asking?”“And why can’t I? These children look just like you, so I invited them over to be my guests. Is there a problem?”Nolan’s father patted Daisie’s head, then gave each of the children a slice of frosted cake. “Here, have a bite. This is the best frosted cake in town.” “Thank you, Grandpa!”The two kids took the cake offered to them. With a loud nom, Daisie held the cake in her palm, unable to wait a moment longer, and took a huge bite.Nolan felt helpless. He had not expected his father to bring them all the way here just because of a photo he saw.“Wait
“On the contrary, Mommy said that we should always learn a thing or two about our ancestry. In fact, Mommy is a fan of antiques. Otherwise, Mommy couldn't have come up with her unique designs of ‘Victorian-style antique jewelry’ back in Stoslo.”Nolan’s father chuckled. “Then, I would really love to meet your mommy one day.”Daisie felt triumphant as she had finally gotten her grandpa’s attention on Mommy!Nolan glanced at Waylon, who was standing beside him. The little boy raised his hand and wiped his cheek, then he turned around and gave Nolan a seemingly unfriendly glare.Unexpectedly, the boy’s glare reminded Nolan of someone else.“The last time I saw you, you had a mole on the corner of your eye.”Waylon rubbed the corner of his eye and said defensively, “I drew that on.”“Grandpa, you lost!” Daisie giggled happily.Little did she know, the old man had let her win. Seeing the little girl laugh so gleefully, he somehow found himself laughing along with her. Perhaps he was
Maisie chewed her pen and thought for a long time, but she was stuck in an inspiration drought…“Zee.”Seeing Willow appear outside her door, Maisie put her pen down. “There’s no one around. You can drop the mushiness. It’s nauseating.”If this was any other day, Willow would have retorted with a scathing remark. Today, however, she managed to converse in a calm and collected manner. “I’m not here to start a fight. I’m well aware that you’re far more adept in matters of business.” Willow placed the documents she was holding on the table. “I’m sure you know the conundrum Vaenna is currently facing. It just so happens that there’s a client who’s willing to provide us with an advertising platform. Could you come with me and discuss the contract terms tonight?Maisie picked up the contract folder, skimmed through the pages, then smirked. “Sure, I’ll go with you.”“I’ll see you tonight then.” As Willow turned to leave, her eyes flickered with coldness. Maisie picked up the folder
