Waylon nodded.Freyja got out of the car and entered the courtyard.He drove back to the Hilton Villas and stopped the car. He got out of the car, and then he saw Colton, who was standing under a tree in the courtyard.Colton took down his earphone and asked, “Waylon, do you have to stay so close to Freyja?”Waylon stopped in front of him, and a smile broke across his face. “She is Daisie’s friend. I don’t see anything wrong with me driving her home.”Colton crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his face sideways. “She’s not her friend. People will change. Even if she’s her friend now, it doesn’t mean she will be in the future.”Upon hearing what he said, Waylon chuckled. “It seems like you have a lot of problems with her.”Colton was stunned, and his face sank. “That cocky woman... I thought only Daisie cared about her, but why must you... Anyway, I just hope you won't help her to gain any strange ideas.”“Alright,” Waylon replied flatly. He lowered his head to loo
Daisie replied in a low voice, “Don’t pay him any heed. There will always be a few days he will act like this in a month.”Colton stopped and turned around. “I’m not deaf, you know that, right?”Daisie shuddered and forced a smile on her face when she saw how dark the expression on Colton’s face was.“Daisie, go to your class first. You stay here. I have something to ask you.” Colton pointed at Freyja.Freyja was stunned.Daisie looked at them and asked, “What exactly do you want to ask Freyja?”Colton pushed her away and said, “Be a good girl and go back to your class.”She walked a few steps forward before turning her head around and said, “I warn you, Colton. Don’t you dare bully Freyja. If not, you’re not going home today!”Veins were bulging on Colton’s forehead, but he paid Daisie no mind.He led Freyja to the back of the building as there were fewer people over there. Freyja leaned against the wall, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and asked, “Is there anything I
King William calmed himself down and said, “Get me Ms. Livingston. Her family has a lot of clout in Haniston. I think things will be better with the Livingstons’ assistance.”Paul got someone to make contact with Zenovia. When Zenovia came to the palace, she was fretful. She had seen the news of Nollace going missing as well.However, she couldn't tell if Nollace had gone missing after meeting her uncle or before. If he went missing after meeting her uncle, it would get the Livingstons into unnecessary trouble.She had already reminded her uncle many times, so she was pretty certain that her uncle wouldn't do it since it wouldn't give the Livingstons any benefits if he did that.Nollace’s disappearance was too coincidental.It was so coincidental that she began to wonder whether this was all set up by Nollace himself. She knocked on the door and went into the study room after getting permission. “Your Majesty, I heard that you’re looking for me.”King William lifted his head an
The driver asked, “Where to go, sir?”Nollace replied, “Neste District.”The driver started the engine, and the car moved forward slowly.The streetlights from the side of the road threw the car into a limbo of light and dark. When they passed through a police car, Nollace raised his head and looked through the window.The driver was looking through the window as well. He said, “This is annoying. A visitor has gone missing like that without any sign. Nearly all of the police officers have been dispatched. I wonder what he has gotten himself into.”Nollace tapped his finger on his leg rhythmically. The earphones he was wearing were able to translate whatever the driver said perfectly. Besides, he had spent several days learning the language of this country, so he did not have any issues when it came to a normal conversation like this.“Visitor, huh?”The driver chuckled, “That’s what we heard from the rumors. We also heard that he’s the grandson of the king in Yaramoor. If he rea
Xavi took a deep breath and sat down. “What do you want, Young Mr. Knowles?”“What I want is simple,” Nollace said as he put down his cup. “I want your brother to stay in prison for the rest of his life, and I want you to take over the Livingstons.”Xavi didn’t say anything.Nollace rose to his feet slowly and continued. “I’ll give you time to consider it. Whether or not you want to continue to live under your brother’s shadow or take everything into your hands. This is your only chance. I believe you can do it.”…Soon, the cab stopped on Neste District. After paying the fare, Nollace got out of the car and pulled his phone out to receive the copy of the recording that Maggie had sent him.Meanwhile, at Xavi’s private mansion…He was sitting in his study room alone, massaging his temples. His secretary pushed the door open and entered the study room. “Sir, Mr. Lestrange is here.”Patterson Lestrange came into the room, and Xavi’s secretary left the study room while closing the
However, a disagreeing voice appeared out of nowhere. “But Mr. Knowles has disappeared in Haniston. Isn’t this a little too coincidental? Rumors have it that Ms. Livingston has always wanted Mr. Knowles to marry you, so I wonder if the Livingstons know about this matter?”That implied that because Nollace had refused to marry her, it was very likely that the Livingstons had detained him after arriving in Haniston.Zenovia’s expression dimmed, and a hint of gloom flashed across her eyes as she looked at the female reporter who had just spoken. “What are you talking about?”The female reporter sounded very firm. “We only aim to get to the bottom of this issue.”“So are you saying that you’re suspecting the Livingstons?” Zenovia put on a smile, but there was not even a trace of hilarity in her eyes. “The Livingstons would never do such a thing. I can guarantee that in the name of the king’s god-granddaughter.”Zenovia asked her secretary to send those reporters away and walked into t
“An insider submitted the surveillance footage from the banquet from the other day to the police, and it shows that the waiter and Ms. Livingston were very close before the banquet started. It also shows that the waiter grabbed Ms. Goldmann’s clutch when he collided with her. So, it’s suspected that he placed something into the clutch, and it’s clearly recorded in the footage.“The video was posted onto the Internet just ten minutes ago.”‘Ten minutes ago? It was around the time when I met Mr. Goldmann!’Zenovia’s body swayed, and she propped her arms against the back of the couch chair to find a firm foothold.‘The surveillance footage from that day? I hired someone to delete it! Even if the police were to get their hands on the footage, it would be impossible for them to find evidence.‘How did the deleted surveillance footage get restored and even leaked onto the Internet!?‘Could it be that Mr. Goldmann has the ability to do this?’After the incident had encountered a plot t
Daisie stopped. “Are they dangerous?”“Don’t worry. I won’t let myself get into trouble. All you need to do is to wait for my return.”Daisie took a deep breath. “Nollace, you have to promise me that you’ll come back in one piece.”He responded with a light hum. “You have my word.”After finishing the call, Daisie pressed her phone against her heart. Ever since the moment she heard Nollace’s voice, her restless heart finally calmed down.“Daisie!” Freyja walked toward her.Daisie turned around and asked with a smile, “Why are you so slow?”Freyja sorted out the content of her backpack. “I forgot to bring my laptop along, so I went back to grab it.”She thought of something, lifted her head abruptly, and stared at Daisie. “Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?”Just as Daisie was about to say something, Nollace’s request flashed across her mind, so she scratched her head and explained casually, “I saw the news saying that the tables have turned for Zenovia, so I’m happy.”
