Daisie said angrily, “You deserve it.”Nollace’s smile intensified. “Then you can teach me a lesson when your wound has recovered.”The lesson teaching had an implicit meaning, but Daisie understood it, and her ears flushed instantly. “You shameless piece of crap! You clearly know that I can never overwhelm you in a fight. I want to get some rest already.”She pulled the blanket up, lay down, and buried herself under the blanket.Nollace lifted the blanket and waited for her to reveal half a head. “If you were to die of suffocation, I would no longer have a wife.”“Bah! With so many women in the world, isn’t it a piece of cake for you to find yourself another wife?”Nollace looked straight at her. “But I only want you.”She quickly looked away as her face was really warm.‘I’m also not his match when it comes to the level of shamelessness.’Near the city's outskirts, at the Sunrise Hotel that offered its customers manor-style accommodation…Outside the suite, Zenovia rang the
“So what if she’s found herself a backer?” Nollace’s gaze looked cold and indifferent. “The first condition that someone in her industry must have in order for her to be able to serve high-end customers is chastity. She obviously has a body that has undergone quite a series of history, and if she wants to pretend to be a first timer, there’s only one way for her to do so.”Edison frowned. “But she’s making Donald profits. If we were to make a move on her, Donald will definitely not stand by and watch.”‘In Donald’s eyes, the only thing that he cares about is his interests. So who can guarantee he won’t side with Lisa to protect his interests?’Nollace scoffed. “Lisa isn’t the only person who can bring Donald benefits. In the Queen of the Nights, since when will it end well when a woman runs out of value?”A few days later…Daisie returned to the college and overheard her classmates talking about Nollace’s engagement.Daisie stopped outside the rehearsal room, and her gaze landed
Zenovia put the coffee down. “It’s only a matter of time before we get engaged. Are you angry only because I’ve made it public without your permission?”There was not even a trace of turbulence in Nollace’s eyes. “Who told you that I’ll agree to that?”“His Majesty has high hopes about our marriage.” Zenovia got up and approached Nollace. “I’m confident that you’ll fall in love with me in no time after getting together with me.”He let off a scoff all of a sudden, but his expression looked sullen. “You’ve crossed a line with your wittiness.”Zenovia‘s eyes were filled with a hint of presumptuous hilarity as she approached him. “I don’t care about your indifference. After all, I like you, and I’ll definitely be able to please you more than that Cinderella girlfriend of yours.”“Oh really?” Nollace was expressionless, and his gaze turned even colder. “Do you know what I’ll do to someone like you?”Zenovia chuckled. “No matter what you do to me, they’ll all be exceptionally charming
“What do you mean he’s mine? I’m only in a relationship with him. How will I be able to stop him if he really wants to dump me and get together with someone else?”As soon as she said so, the person who had been standing behind her leaned forward and whispered next to her ear, “So, does that mean you want to have a closer relationship with me?”Daisie trembled in fright.Freyja had seen Nollace long ago but deliberately did not tell Daisie that.“I’ll bring Daisie away first.” Nollace grabbed her hand.Daisie failed to break free from his grasp and turned to Freyja for help.However, Freyja shrugged as if she had not seen anything. “Go ahead.”“Freyja—”Freyja smiled and waved at her. “See you around.”Nollace had already brought Daisie to the front of the car when she managed to shake him off. “I won’t go with you.”He blocked her against the car door. “Are you mad?”Daisie turned her face away and snorted softly.Nollace embraced her. “I knew you must be jealous. Isn’t th
‘As long as King William doesn’t agree to their relationship, then it’s absolutely impossible for Nollace to marry her!’After the Livingstons had dinner with William, they happened to run into Diana at the entrance as they were about to leave the palace.Zenovia knew that Diana was Nollace’s mother, so she took the initiative to greet Diana, “Aunty Diana.”“Since when have I become your aunt?” Diana’s response stiffened Zenovia’s expression.Diana glared at her with a stern look. “You know that my son has a girlfriend, but you still insist on sticking your hand into their relationship. I wonder if all the daughters of the wealthy families in your country are as shameless as you are.”Zenovia looked a little embarrassed. She had been under the impression that Princess Diana of Yaramoor would be as kind and amiable as she appeared to be on the surface, but what she said was so savage that it was borderline slander.Juneau frowned. “Mrs. Knowles, isn’t what you just said a little h
Nollace tidied the strands of hair sticking to her cheek and responded softly, “I’m here.”After a long while, the only response he got was the sound of her shallow and lengthened breathing.Nollace sat on the edge of the bed and watched her for a while.His pocket vibrated suddenly, and he took out his cell phone. It was a text message.A photo was attached to the text message, and the photo showed that the young woman walking next to Juneau was Lisa.The next day, it was cloudy and rainy.Juneau’s assistant pushed open the bedroom door and handed a parcel to him. “Mr. Livingston, this is yours.”Juneau had just finished taking a shower. He slowly tied the belt of his bathrobe and glanced at the parcel. “Who sent this?”“I don’t know. The delivery man only told me that it must be received by you.”Juneau took the package, walked to the couch, sat down, and opened the package. The box was the size of his palm and very light. He did not know what was in it.When he opened the
Lisa patted her skirt calmly to clean the dust. “Whether I dare to do so or not depends solely on your attitude, Mr. Livingston. As long as I can get out of our business relationship unscathed, your secret will go into the grave with me. However, if I can’t step backward safely, don’t blame me for wrecking your family and ruining your reputation.”‘I’ll hit him where it hurts by pinching his future. People of higher status are usually afraid of such messes. This hobby is enough to destroy the image of a good husband and father he has been maintaining in front of others in Haniston.‘People in the upper class have a lot of fun, but they’ll never allow their actions to be exposed and be used against them. Because they have the money, they’ll keep everybody’s mouths shut. And when those women get paid the right amount, it’s only natural for them to keep things to themselves. After all, they’re afraid of getting into trouble too.‘But I’m different. If he leaves me with no other choice,
Zenovia was astonished and suddenly gave off a furious laugh. “Are you out of your mind?”Daisie’s grin intensified, and a hint of slyness flashed across her almond eyes. “Then do you plan to pay me the money? Nollace will be yours as long as you’re willing to pay me $15,000,000.”She had provoked Zenovia at this point. “Have you lost your mind? $15,000,000, what makes you think you’re worth that money?”“Of course, I’m worth it.” Daisie crossed her arms. “It’s only $15,000,000, yet you can’t even pay me that. So, just what kind of wealthy family are you from? Could it be that your family actually doesn’t have so much money? I’ve never seen such a poor wealthy family.”“You!” Zenovia’s face flushed due to the anger.‘It’s not that my family doesn’t own $15,000,000, but how much is $15,000,000? Even if my family has this amount of money, it’s not something that can be withdrawn and used to buy someone off so casually.‘I thought this girl would be guilty and wouldn’t be able even
