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
“Nevertheless, we’ve never thought about preventing Nollace and Daisie from being together. However, if Nollace gets engaged to Daisie before the Knowles Group manages to stabilize its development, the public opinion won’t favor him at all.”Freyja took a deep breath. “But what if he doesn’t care about that?”“He may not care about that, but does Daisie not care about it too?” Waylon’s words hit Freyja directly. “Daisie believes that she wants to get engaged to Nollace because of her feelings for him, but the public will only believe that Nollace wants to get engaged to her only because of what’s in it for him. A controversial marriage won’t last long. Who can guarantee that their relationship will never be affected by all those controversies?“Even when a powerful man wants to marry a woman of unequal status, he will still require the woman’s family to be pure and squeaky clean. And when it comes to a marriage between two wealthy and powerful families, the equal match in terms of t
Daisie sobbed softly. “I just don’t want others to see you that way.”Nollace’s lips landed on the tip of her nose and cheeks, and his warmth was on the brink of scorching her. “I don’t care how others view me, but Daisie, if I want to marry you, we can’t let our marriage be filled with all sorts of controversies. My future wife shouldn’t be exposed to all these public opinions.”‘No matter what the controversies are, I’ll be able to handle them. But Daisie might not be able to do the same. She’s very sentimental and is easily influenced by public opinion.‘Even if she’s being assaulted by the public for me, I won’t allow that.’“Daisie,” He kissed her, “Give me some time. Wait for the day to come when I’m able to marry you without any questions from the public.”Daisie suddenly turned over and pressed him against the bed. “I don’t care! You’ve made me angry for so many days, you must compensate me!”Nollace was stunned. He stared at the person sitting on his body and laughed abr
Xyla turned to look at them. “If you didn’t come back, Daisie would rush out.”Daisie’s face was steaming as she buried her head under the covers.Yorrick laughed. “Stop teasing her. Are you going to calm her down if she cries?”“I won’t have to. She has someone to do that.”Xyla walked toward Yorrick, held his arm, and looked at Nollace. “Take care of your future wife. We’re leaving.”Nollace nodded. They were the only people left in the room. Daisie popped her head out from under the covers and put one hand on the edge of the bed. A shadow loomed over her while a warm breath blew onto her hair. “You’re embarrassed?”Her face was burning hot as she avoided his gaze. “What did Uncle Yorrick say to you?”“Take a guess.”“No.” Nollace touched her hair and looked deep into her eyes. “He said that I…” He leaned in and whispered into her ear.Daisie laughed, then hit him. “Nollace!”Nollace sat at the edge of the bed and laughed, not moving away.That afternoon, at the Sunr
Nollace picked up someone’s call, and Diana held onto Daisie's hand when he got up to leave. “Don’t blame Nollace. He really wants to marry you. He didn’t stop working even when he was sick.“He’s someone who loves to handle everything by himself. He would rather be misunderstood than explain himself. But as a mother, I understand him and know he likes you a lot.”Daisie paused, then after a while, she looked down and mumbled, “Really?”She was curious. Nollace didn’t remember their past, so when did he start having feelings for her?Diana laughed. “You’re so lovable. If I like you too, it’s impossible that he doesn’t.”The girl had some sort of magic to her. She was innocent, and her kindness was contagious and made people not want to leave her and want to protect her.Diana thought that was how her son felt too, and that was why he was so in love. Outside, Nollace answered the call from Edison, who said that a guard from the hospital was robbed by someone with a gun and was s
Freyja knew that she was too frank, and since she didn’t understand the entire situation, she couldn’t blame anyone if she took a hit. “You’re good at offending people.” Colton looked at her before taking his leave. Freyja stood in her spot and thought about what he meant. Was he implying that she was offensive?But flattery wasn’t her style. That evening, at the Hilton Villas…Daisie walked into the living room and smelled dinner, so she walked into the kitchen. Waylon!”Waylon wore a black shirt and made a stew with one hand on his waist. The kitchen was filled with the smell of stew. He adjusted the heat, then turned to face her. “Dinner is ready. Wash your hands.”“Okay.” Daisie happily rolled up her sleeves. The housekeeper had been on leave since Waylon was back.After the food was placed on the table, Daisie immediately picked up her fork to try it.Waylon handed her some potatoes. “Do you like it?”She smiled happily. “Yes, you’re as good of a cook as Dad. I wond
