Nollace knew what she was going to say. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, “I won’t do anything to Ken.”Sandy let out a snort. Just when she was about to say something, Nollace’s face turned grim as he continued, “But it doesn’t mean that other people won’t do anything to him.”Her face turned pale. “What do you mean?”She pounced at Nollace and grabbed him by his collar tightly. “I warn you, Nollace. If you dare to lay your finger on my son, I'll make you and your mother experience what it means to live a life worse than death!”“I guess you should keep that for yourself.” Nollace pried his collar out of her grip. There was no expression on his face as he continued indifferently. “What do you think will happen if everyone learns that it's Ken who killed Mr. Reese? I think it's going to be very interesting.” All colors drained from Sandy’s face.‘How does he know about that!?’Her voice began to tremble as he said, “What the hell are you talking about? You don’t ha
Daisie fell silent after Freyja mentioned Deedee.She had to take care of her brother’s daughter, so it was true that she couldn’t spend her money freely. Colton turned around and said, “You don’t have to pay for it.” Then, he left the ward.In the end, Freyja was "forcefully" moved to the VIP inpatient department on the 16th floor. Since the ward was located on a higher floor, it received more sunlight. The sound insulation was a lot better, and the corridor was empty. It was not as noisy as the ward downstairs and was a suitable environment for recuperation.Daisie looked at Colton. She was kind of surprised that her brother would spend money on someone other than her. After all, not everyone could make her brother spend money for them.However, she was kind of happy as well. At the very least, Colton had already started to warm up to Freyja.Colton received a call and went up to answer it.Freyja went closer to her and whispered. “Is there something wrong with your brother
If Colton blamed Daisie for being the obstacle in his journey to get a girlfriend, she would be in big trouble.Daisie smiled but did not say anything.After leaving the ward, she came to the first-floor lobby by elevator.There was a nurse pushing a wheelchair in the crowd, and the young man sitting in the wheelchair was none other than Ayan. He looked a lot thinner than the last time she saw her. He had a gaunt face, his body looked emaciated, and there was no light in his eyes. Gone was the energetic Ayan. When Daisie's gaze fell on his right empty pant leg, she was stunned.The nurse pushed him past her, but Ayan did not notice her. Daisie stopped in her tracks. She turned her head around to look at the figure that was entering the elevator and sank into deep thoughts. Colton was waiting for her outside of the entrance. She pulled the door and went into the car. “Colton, do you know what happened to Ayan?”Colton frowned. “Why do you care about him? He had it coming.”“
Ean pressed his lips into a thin line and did not say anything back in return.“Ean, there's no turning back since we started seeing each other behind his back. Both of us know what he is capable of. Anyone can become his tool. If we continue to work for him, it'll only be a matter of time before he discards both of us.”She put her finger on his lips and continued. “Besides, can you tolerate it if he's going to offer the woman you love the most to that brutal man?”Ean took a deep breath to calm himself down. After a short while, he released her and turned around to walk to the door. He stopped in front of the door and said without turning his head. “I’ll try my best to stop it.”Maggie watched as he left the room.Ean came to the parking lot. He had been very alert and instantly sensed something. He spun around, but he was still a step slower.Holding him at gunpoint, Edison said, “My master wishes to see you.”Ean looked toward the car that was parked not far away, and his fa
Brandon’s pupils constricted as he did not expect such words would come out of her mouth.“Please go back. I want to rest.” She pulled the cover and lay down with her back facing the door. When she heard the door close, a tear dropped from the corner of her eyes. She could vaguely remember that when she was a child, her father would let her ride on his shoulders as both of them walked down the paths of the fields at dusk.It was not that her father was bad. It was just that her father was weak-willed and listened to everything her mother said. Her mother was a strong woman, while her father was weak, and this was the ultimate reason for their estranged relationship.When she heard that someone was coming in, she thought her father hadn’t left yet. “Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?”“Who came here just now?”Freyja was stunned. She turned her head around to see Colton standing at the door. She got up from her bed, and her sadness melted from her face. “Nope, no one. By the wa
Daisie did not say anything.Nollace approached her and pressed his lips against her forehead. “That’s because I won’t reject anything that you give me.”Her cheeks warmed up all of a sudden, and she pushed him away and got into the car on her own. “Bring me to the hospital!”Nollace laughed out loud.Daisie pushed the door of the ward open, and Freyja closed the lid of her laptop, raised her head, and looked at the two who came in. “You’re quite diligent in coming to the hospital to visit me.”Daisie saw her bag that she placed on the counter and looked around. “Where’s Colton?”Freyja put the laptop aside. “He’s left after delivering my stuff.”“I wanted to ask him to stay with you, lest your unscrupulous family members came and caused you any more trouble.”She knew Sandy had been discharged from the hospital, and she was afraid Sandy would come here to settle the score because of the matter. She would not be as worried if Colton were to be here.Freyja was astonished for a
Someone knocked on the door, and Ean walked into the study. “Sir, are you looking for me?”“I asked you to find the traitor. Have you looked into it or not?” Ken glared at him with his gloomy eyes.Ean lowered his head and seemed to have an idea of how he should respond. “Sir, I’ve already checked it out, but I haven’t been able to confirm my investigation just yet.”“Why the f*ck would it take you so long to confirm something!” Ken swept all the documents off the table, walked up to Ean, and grabbed the front of his shirt. “Who is it?”Ean clenched the hands that were resting on his sides and replied, “It’s Mr. Matthews’s men. He and Nollace have already joined forces, and they know you planned to use Mr. Reese’s death to frame him.”The veins on the back of Ken’s hand bulged. “Why would Nollace have evidence of the cause of Jonah Reese’s death? I remember asking you to eradicate every piece of evidence related to his death.”He glared at Ean and lowered his voice. “Did you betr
The man replied, “About 9:00 a.m.”On the other side of the town, in the precinct…The two officers who had the night shift brought Ean into an interrogation room, and Nollace was already in the room.Ean was handcuffed, walked up to the seat across Nollace, and sat down. “Perhaps, what you said is right.”Nollace glanced at him while tapping on the table with his knuckles. “You should thank the officers for arriving at the scene in time. Otherwise, you’d be a corpse by now.”Their deal that night was that Ean would become a witness of the case, and he would keep Maggie safe. Ean was an accomplice as he had eradicated the evidence of Ken killing Mr. Reese for Ken. Hence, in order to avoid being wanted by the police, Ken would definitely get Ean to be his scapegoat.Nollace bet on the fact that Ken would rather trust his own judgment than trust Ean to take the fall for him willingly.If he wanted to be safe and sound, Ean must disappear from this world. As long as Ean was dead, t
“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
