“But I don’t want other people to think that he’s that kind of person. I just want everyone to understand him…”Daisie’s eyes were wet with tears.Waylon wiped the tear off the corner of her eyes and said, “You’re so silly. Do you think Nollace cares how other people think about him?”Daisie parted her mouth, and just when she wanted to say something, the words that Nollace had said to her surfaced in her head.‘Do you see me that way too, Daisie?’The reason he had gotten angry was not that she wanted to postpone their engagement. It was because he thought she saw him the same way as everyone else did.Daisie clenched the fork in her hand tightly, and it was only now she realized the reason Nollace had gotten so angry was that she did not explain to him what she really wanted to say that day.He had assumed she chose not to believe in him because Colton had told her something.Daisie lifted her head. “Waylon, I…”“You should finish your meal first,” Waylon interjected, cuttin
Seeing that Nollace was giving her father a hard time, Zenovia couldn’t help herself and interrupted. “Mr. Knowles, even if you don’t want to help us, you don’t have to be like this.”Nollace did not say anything.“Zenovia…” Juneau wanted to say something, but Zenovia cut him short again. “You chose Daisie over me because you want the help from the Goldmanns, right? I heard that you said the other day that you're not going to get engaged with her. That's because you know that it's not that easy, right?”Juneau became nervous. He told his daughter to stop talking, but she ignored him. “Did I say anything wrong? The king wants us to support the Knowles. That's why he wants me to get engaged to Nollace. Although we're not as good as the Goldmanns, we can give everything that they can offer as well.”Nollace lifted his head and looked at Zenovia indifferently. “So, in your opinion, marriage is just something for you to gain benefits?”“Yes, I don’t deny that.”Zenovia walked up to hi
Zenovia sensed something and was even more confident in her speculation. "Well, it seems like I was right. You and she are having problems so soon." Nollace rose to his feet and replied expressionlessly, “It has nothing to do with her, and it’s none of your business either.”He turned around and said, “Peter, please see them at the door.”After that, he went upstairs without turning his head around.Zenovia did not say anything anymore and left the Knowles mansion with her father. Meanwhile, Daisie had just gotten into the car. Before the driver could start the engine, Zenovia walked up to the car and knocked on the window.Daisie rolled the window down but did not say anything.Zenovia leaned on the window and said with a smile on her face, “Mr. Vanderbilt, can I have a minute with you?”Daisie looked at her and asked, “What do you want to say?”“I apologize for my actions earlier on since I didn't know who you were, but I won't quit.” Zenovia looked into her eyes and conti
Freyja turned around to look at Waylon, and he said, “I hope you know what you should and shouldn’t say.”It was very apparent that Nollace was the reason that Daisie refused to go to the college, and Freyja surmised that something must have happened between them.Besides, Daisie must have locked herself up in her room, drowning herself in her sadness because of the thing that had happened between her and Nollace.If Freyja said the wrong thing, it would further aggravate the situation.Freyja chuckled and asked, “So what do you expect me to say? Ask her to break up with him? Or tell her to go back to him?”Waylon looked at her for a long while before answering, “What do you think?”She did not say anything and went upstairs.She walked to Daisie’s room and knocked on the door. Daisie’s voice rang out from her room. “The door isn’t locked.”Freyja pushed the door open. The first thing she saw was Daisie sitting on the bed with her knees in her arms, and it was clear that she wa
Freyja asked, “I thought you wanted me to be the mediator between them?”Waylon stopped in his tracks and said without turning his head. “He chose to turn off his phone. Isn’t it obvious enough?”Then, he went down the stairs.Freyja stood on the spot and clenched her fists tightly.She went straight to the Knowles mansion as soon as she left the Hilton Villas. Before the butler could inform Nollace, she had already barged into the study room.When she went inside the study room, she found out that Nollace was not the only one inside. Zenovia was inside the study room as well.Half of her body was leaning toward Nollace. If she hadn’t gotten into the study room, she was certain she would have thrown herself onto Nollace.Zenovia’s face sank when she saw Freyja. “Who are you? Don’t you know that you need to knock on the door before coming in?”Freyja ignored her and looked at Nollace. “What the hell are you thinking? Are you really going to break up with Daisie?”Nollace frowne
Nollace let off a chuckle and complimented her sarcastically, “You’re very smart, Ms. Livingston.”Zenovia was happy. “I’ll take this as a compliment.”Nollace’s eyes squinted slightly, and he added gloomily and sullenly, “But you’re too presumptuous.”Zenovia was startled.Nollace got up, walked up to the French window, and stopped in front of the window pane. “You’re in such a hurry to get married to me because of your father.”Zenovia looked at him in surprise.Nollace then explained calmly, “Your father killed someone, and the police are now onto him. Once the police discover this matter is related to your father, the Livingstons will be forever condemned back in Haniston. Your father is anxious about reconciling with me, and the incident that took place at the banquet has never been his main focus.”“Mr. Knowles, what nonsense are you talking about?” Zenovia was flustered.‘Father killed that woman whose name is Lisa because she threatened him. He did so only to protect hi
Since Juneau had the guts to use his daughter to sow discord, he would never have imagined that the person who first planned to get rid of Lisa through him would be Nollace.A week later…Daisie was preparing for the exam at the college as always. When the exam was over, she went to the office building to look for the professor and asked for the list of titles of her graduation thesis in drama and film performance.The professor was a little surprised. “Are you planning to prepare for the topic of your graduation thesis in advance?”Daisie nodded. She was a year away from graduation, but Colton was already preparing for his graduation, and she did not want to procrastinate.At the Royal College of Victoria, the graduation requirement was simple. As long as the students had completed all subjects of the course and obtained good grades in all those subjects, they would be able to apply for graduation in advance.The Drama, Theater, and Film department was no exception.“Okay then.
Freyja fought her way through the crowd, and her expression changed instantly when she saw the person lying on the ground. She hurried forward and shouted, “Daisie!”She called out to the crowd around them, “Call an ambulance!”Daisie was sent to the hospital. Freyja stood anxiously in the corridor and waited until Waylon and Colton arrived.Colton stepped forward quickly, grabbed her wrist, and asked, “Why would Daisie faint all of a sudden?”Freyja did not answer.Waylon lifted his hand and placed it on his shoulder. “Cole, calm down.”Only then did Colton let go of her, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.At that moment, the doctor came out of the ward, and Waylon asked, “How is she?”The doctor took off the mask and replied, “It’s not a big problem. The patient’s diet and lifestyle have been a little irregular. When these issues are coupled with fatigue, they lead to hypoglycemia and a blackout. She’ll have to adjust her lifestyle for a period.”After the doctor left, Wayl
