“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
After Colton left, Edison walked in and stopped next to Nollace. “Sir, Ms. Livingston went to see Ms. Vanderbilt at the college.”Nollace’s eyes grew cold. “She didn’t do anything, did she?”Edison shook his head. “No, they just had a short chat, and she left.”If she had done anything, she would be the next Lara Reese.Nollace stood up and left without saying a word. …Zenovia got home from college and went straight to meet King William. She stood in the corridor outside until the court personnel came over. “I’m sorry, Ms. Livingston, His Majesty has guests and won’t be able to see you.”“When will His Majesty be available then?”She had to see how arrogant that woman was. She wouldn’t believe it. She was the granddaughter-in-law appointed by the king, not some gold digger.If His Majesty took interest, Daisie would be handled. The court personnel was going to say something when he saw someone coming from not too far away and then nodded. “Mr. Knowles.”Zenovia’s face t
“Here’s some advice. If you don’t want to follow in the Reeses’ footsteps, it’s best not to do anything.”Nollace left.Zenovia started shaking. ‘Was he behind what happened to the Reeses!?’That evening…After the rain, the ground was wet. The wind blew, and the air was filled with the scent of wet grass. Daisie had just got to the villa and stood at the door to take off her shoes when she heard the doorbell ring. She turned around to get it. “Who is it?”She was surprised to see Nollace. She then hummed and went back into the room. Nollace closed the door, hugged her from behind, and smiled. “You’re angry again?”Daisie removed his hands. “Your fiancee came to see me. What do you think?”“Who’s my fiancee?” he whispered into her ear, “Isn’t my fiancee right here in my arms?”Daisie smiled. “Aren’t I just a student that you’re giving allowance to?”Nollace sat down on the couch and pulled her onto his lap. “Would you let me pay for you?”Daisie coughed and smacked him. “
The young man knew about his situation, and that had put Juneau on alert. Lisa, that ambitious woman, was pretty much double trouble, so he had to face this matter with caution.Colton looked at the food on the table. “Lisa won’t let you go once she latches on. You don’t have a choice.”Juneau took a deep breath and had a complicated expression on his face.It was just his luck to be involved with a woman like Lisa. “She’s a lunatic. There was no positive outcome after touching her.”“We in Zlokova fight until the end. We will do our best to turn things around.” Colton looked up. “It all depends if you’re willing to put yourself in a better position before things fall apart.”Juneau paused and was silent for a long time. “You’re sure that you can help me?”Colton smirked. “When there’s a will, there’s a way. If you want her to disappear, there’s always a way.”The next day…Zenovia entered the hotel suite where her father was staying and entered with the spare key card.She st
