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
“Ms. Livingston, you’ve gone through every inch of my clutch. Is the item that you’re looking for in there?” Daisie asked with a smirk.‘When the waiter knocked the clutch off me and handed it back, I was just about to place my phone back in the clutch, but I unexpectedly found a necklace of unknown origin inside.‘I’ve always been carrying this clutch with me all the time, and it‘s never left my sight, so I know exactly what’s in it. The extra necklace made me realize that the waiter might be onto something. Fortunately, I took the necklace out of the clutch.‘After all, I didn’t want to cause any trouble and embarrass Aunt Diana. I planned to go to the front desk to ask about the lost necklace when I was about to leave.‘That’s why it felt too coincidental when Zenovia brought up the disappearance of her necklace all of a sudden. It turns out that the series of incidents happened only because she wanted to frame me.’Zenovia could not believe it and reached out, intending to go
“Of course I don’t mind it. I’ll even try my best to help you locate the necklace.”Daisie’s words instilled a premonition in Zenovia.Daisie glanced at the crowd, and the waiter, who was hiding among the crowd and witnessing the play, exchanged gazes with her. He was so frightened that he lowered his head and wanted to leave.Daisie pointed in his direction and shouted to the security guards, “Stop him!”Everyone stood in place, and the waiter was the only person who was leaving the scene. His actions made it too obvious for the guards, so they apprehended him in a blink of an eye.Zenovia’s face turned pale for a moment, and she stopped the guards. “Wait a minute!”All eyes were on her again. Zenovia tried her best to suppress her panic and then said with a smile after calming herself down, “I’ve wronged Ms. Vanderbilt, and I’m sorry about that. Since the waiter is the suspect, please allow me to take him away for further investigation. I don’t wish to bother you too much with
Daisie looked at Zenovia and smirked. “Ms. Livingston, I sincerely believe that the police will be able to provide you with the truth, so just wait patiently.”Zenovia gnashed her teeth.‘She must’ve done so on purpose!’The incident came to an end, and everyone finally left the scene.Back in the car, Diana could not help but feel annoyed. “Zenovia Livingston, that little b*tch! She actually suspected you without any concrete evidence. But don’t worry, I believe in you, Daisie—”Before she could finish the sentence, Daisie took a necklace out of her dress.Diana was stunned.She explained truthfully, “Aunt Diana, I indeed found this necklace in my clutch.”She told Diana what happened, and Diana’s expression became even more furious after listening to the ins and outs of the incident. “It turns out that she was trying to frame you. No wonder she stopped you from investigating the waiter. Hmph! I’ve long known that she’s one hell of a scheming b*tch.”Thinking of something, sh
Nollace was eerily calm. After a long while, he put the document aside. “Her scheme didn’t work this time around, but she won’t give up so easily.”Edison added, “But Madam has ordered the precinct to forbid Ms. Livingston from seeing the waiter.”Nollace raised his head slowly and chuckled. “The situation would be different if she were to manage to obtain the king’s permission.”Edison suddenly stopped talking.At White Ivy Palace…Zenovia met the king to talk about the grievances she had faced at the auction.William sat behind his desk, reading through some documents, and frowned. “Since the police have started an investigation, what are you worried about?”She pursed her lips and explained, “I only wish to know more about the progress of the investigation, but Mrs. Knowles stopped me from doing so.”William lifted his head. “Diana stopped you?”Zenovia pretended to be aggrieved. “I don’t know why Mrs. Knowles would stop me from investigating the matter. All I want is to ge
Nollace’s expression did not change, looking as indifferent and stern as usual. “You seem very confident.”Zenovia smiled and approached him. “Of course, I‘m confident. Other than being the daughter of the Goldmanns, Daisie can’t provide you with anything else. Meanwhile, I’m different. I can do anything for you, and I’ll make sure you see my brilliance as time goes by.”The moment she was about to hug Nollace, he pushed her away from him.She fell to the ground, lifted her head in shock, stared into his gloomy and cold glare, and could not help but tremble.Nollace looked down at her condescendingly. “Do you think you can challenge my bottom line unscrupulously just because my grandfather has recognized you as his goddaughter?”Zenovia gnashed her teeth. “What’s the bottom line that you’re referring to? Daisie?”Nollace leaned over, pinched her chin, and scoffed sullenly. “If warnings don’t work on you, I’ll change how I deliver my message to you.”She trembled vigorously. “Wha
Nollace looked out the window, and his gaze stopped on Daisie’s villa for a while. He kept his trip to Haniston a secret from Daisie because he did not want her to worry. “This trip is the key to either success or failure.”Edison replied, “But there’s no need for you to risk this. Ms. Livingston has offended Ms. Vanderbilt, and the Goldmanns will do something about it.”Nollace gave off a smirk, and his eyes dimmed. “I may not be as competent as Nolan Goldmann, but I don’t plan to rely on the Goldmanns to resolve this matter. I’ll have to give it all I have.”Two days later, at the college…Daisie and Freyja were sitting in the cafe, and Freyja was a little surprised by her cousin’s business trip. “Everything was going just fine. Why would he suddenly need to go abroad?”Daisie shrugged. “Don’t all businessmen have to run around? My dad and mom live such lives too.”Freyja leaned closer to her and sounded very serious all of a sudden. “Can I ask you a question?”“What’s the mat
