‘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
Ivanka smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Livingston. I trained her, so I’ll take care of her.”Lisa turned pale. On the outskirts, in an abandoned warehouse… Ivanka walked to Lisa, who was badly beaten.Lisa reached out with a shaking hand, grabbed her pants, and begged with tears, “Ivanka… I didn’t betray you… Please believe me.”Ivanka chuckled, leaned down, and grabbed her by her chin. “Lisa, I agreed to help you because I saw how ambitious you were, but I didn’t expect you to try and get rid of me once you got to Yaramoor.”“I… I didn’t…” Lisa used up all her energy to speak. “Please give me one more chance, I beg you.”“No more f*cking chances!” Ivanka stood up straight and kicked Lisa while cursing, “Do you think I didn’t learn anything from being on the streets for years? Do you think I can’t handle a little b*tch?”The 4-inch heel took Lisa’s breath away. She trembled, convulsed, and could only moan.Ivanka turned around and looked at the man next to her. “Cut off her finger
“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
