“My mind is clear.” Zenovia stared at Juneau with no expression. “Dad, this was all your fault. If it weren’t for Lisa, I wouldn’t have learned that you have been cheating on Mom. You’ve always been a good dad, but that was all a lie.”“Zenovia—”“I did all that because Nollace knows what you did. If he exposed you, the consequences would be severe. I was just thinking about our family.”Juneau held his breath and looked sick and pale as if he had lost his will to fight back. Zenovia was still calm. “Don’t blame me. Your sentence will ensure that our family is safe. Don’t worry. No one is going to discover your secrets. I’ve got you the best lawyer team in Haniston, and even if you’re sentenced to prison, you’ll get a reduced sentence. That’s all that I can do for you.”She ended the call and left. Juneau froze in his seat because never would he imagined that he would one day fall at his daughter’s hands. When he was brought away by the police, he had been laughing and crying b
Diana scoffed, “That’s true. She won’t be able to take Daisie’s place as long as I’m around.”Meanwhile, at the college…Daisie and Freyja were having their meal in the canteen when she suddenly got a call from Diana, who asked her to go over for dinner with Nollace. After the call ended, Freyja smiled and said, “I guess my aunt already treats you as her daughter-in-law.”Daisie blushed when she heard the word ‘daughter-in-law’. “You need to stuff more food in your mouth.”The people sitting at the next table were talking about how Zenovia became the god-granddaughter of the king because the news spread everything, and Zenovia was cast under the limelight.After Daisie heard that, she looked toward Freyja.Freyja looked up. “What’s wrong?”Daisie shook her head and lowered her eyes. “Don't you care?”Freyja was the king’s granddaughter, but the king would rather take someone with no blood relation to him as his granddaughter. That was ironic. Freyja drank her drink and look
Sandy did not get anything after giving birth to Ken, and Ken’s identity was not recognized. That was the cause of Sandy's hatred for William’s legal wife and Nollace’s mother, Diana.Even though Diana had never made things difficult for Sandy and accepted Ken and Freyja, it did not mean that she could forgive her father for his mistake. Nollace walked into the living room, and Diana was talking happily with Daisie. Everyone with eyes could see that Diana adored Daisie very much.He pulled the chair and took a seat. Rick put down the newspaper and asked, “What do you think about Ms. Livingston, Nollace?”When they heard the question, Diana and Daisie turned their heads around to look at him.Nollace replied, “It doesn’t matter what I think. What matters is how Grandpa thinks. He's stubborn, and no one, including me, can change his mind after he makes a decision.”Diana’s face sank as she chimed in. “In my opinion, your grandfather just has too much time in his hands.”Daisie wa
“Yes.” Nollace went closer to her and said, “She prepared all of this for you, Daisie.”Daisie lowered her head. She did not know where she should look, and her cheeks were red. “Thank you. I like it very much.”Nollace wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his chest. She swallowed hard and pressed her lips tightly. Her eyelashes were trembling, and her heart was jumping wildly. “Nolly, you— Ugh!”He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips. Daisie clenched her fists tightly on his chest, and his tongue slipped into her mouth when she opened her mouth to breathe.She could barely stand right now. She stumbled toward the back, and they fell on the bed.Nollace propped himself up with a hand and protected the back of her head with the other.She stopped breathing for a moment and became even more nervous.The warm white light showered on the bed. Nollace looked at her reddened cheeks fixedly and said, “Daisie.”“Yeah?” she replied in a low voice.Both of th
Diana smiled and replied, “I guess he hasn’t woken up yet. I think he must have had a good night's sleep since you stayed overnight.”Daisie was stunned. “Does he always wake up early?”“Yeah. He wakes up very early every day,” Diana sighed as she placed her hand on her forehead. “Other parents want their kids to be independent, but Nollace is overly independent. Sometimes, he's too hard on himself, making me worry about him.”Daisie sipped on a cup of milk without saying anything.Nollace only woke up when the clock hit nine. He went downstairs and asked Peter, “Where are my mother and Daisie?”Peter replied, “Madam and Ms. Vanderbilt are upstairs.”Nollace narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, his mother’s voice wafted into his ear. “See? I told you that you would look good in this dress.”Daisie lifted her dress and asked, “But… Don’t you think this dress is a bit too formal?”When she raised her head, she rammed into Nollace’s eyes. Daisie could see her reflection through Noll
There were all sorts of news about Zenovia, and everyone was shocked when the king announced that he would take her in as his "god-granddaughter.”Besides, it was rumored that she had become the third wheel in the relationship between Nollace and Daisie, so everyone was anticipating a good show when the two "heroines” of the scandals met in the auction. Zenovia did not expect that Daisie would come to the auction with Diana. Even though she was not happy about it, she did not allow her emotions to escape to her face.She walked up to them with a smile on her face and greeted, “Mrs. Knowles, I'm very happy to meet you here. I never had the chance to talk to you last time to clear up the misunderstanding you had about me—”Diana interrupted her. “Do you think you have a chance right now?”Zenovia was stunned.Without giving her a chance to say anything, Diana continued. “You don’t get it? You don't have to creep up my sleeve and don't need to say anything like wanting me to know y
In other words, what Zenovia was trying to say was that the Knowles had chosen Daisie because of her family. If it were in the past, Daisie would jump in anger when she heard what Zenovia said, but right now, she just chuckled and turned her head around to look at her. “Do you have a lot of free time, Ms. Livingston?”Zenovia was stunned. “What do you mean?”Daisie said, “If not, why do you have so much time to poke your nose into other people’s affairs?”Zenovia was stumped.Daisie then continued. “What's wrong with me relying on my family? I can do whatever I want. Or do you want me to rely on an outsider like how you rely on the king? Do you not have a family? That’s why you can only rely on an outsider?”Zenovia’s expression changed, and she said through gritted teeth, “Are you mocking me?”Turning around, Daisie looked at her and smiled. “Yes, I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine. I know what you’re trying to do. You want me to think that Nollace chose to be wi
What kind of jewelry had the daughter of the Goldmanns not seen before? So, why would she steal other people’s items?Diana’s face dimmed in an instant. “What do you mean by that?”Upon seeing Diana’s expression, those present knew that Diana was extremely irritated. The identities of all three parties were off the charts. Thus, anyone who said anything at this moment might only cause unnecessary trouble.Zenovia’s eyes were bloodshot. “Mrs. Knowles, I didn’t mean to lie to you. You can ask Ms. Vanderbilt. I did get into contact with her just now.”Diana stared at Daisie.Daisie nodded. “Aunt Diana, she did approach me and said a few words when I was grabbing myself some food.”Diana took a deep breath. She believed Daisie and suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.Daisie then glanced at Zenovia and asked calmly, “Do you mean that I’m the one who took your necklace?”“I’m not sure, but my necklace disappeared after I talked to you. Ms. Vanderbilt, I know
