Madam Nera nodded. She heard about Pearl’s scandal, but she didn’t expect that it was related. Madam Nera hummed. “The Lucases have lost their minds for helping a thief bully you. Larissa is moving farther backward the older she gets!”Maisie didn’t say anything. The Lucas family was helping Willow because she pretended to be someone she wasn’t.Maisie never thought that Willow would lie that she was Marina’s daughter. It seemed like she thought Stephen didn’t know about her mother’s identity.“But don’t worry. Taylor Jewelry always appreciates talent. Even if the Lucas family asked, I wouldn’t comply.”Maisie felt relief. The other jewelry companies might be afraid of the Lucas family, but Taylor wouldn’t. Maisie smiled. “Madam, you wouldn’t renege like the rest of them.”After the high tea session, they left the private room together.Maisie pushed Madam Nera’s wheelchair and enjoyed a chat with her, with a few maids and bodyguards behind them.However, Maisie frowned wh
‘D*mn it! Who’s this old woman?’At that moment, a man walked over slowly. “What happened?”Willow turned around and saw Louis appearing. She then hurriedly walked up to him and said aggrievedly, “Louis, I don’t know what’s going on! They’re targeting me deliberately…”Madam Nera chuckled. “Oh? Mr. Lucas, is she related to you? Why didn’t I know that?”Willow bit her lip, not daring to look at Maisie’s eyes at this time. She was only betting that Maisie did not know about the de Armas.Louis approached Madam Nera slowly. “Madam Nera, I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive my cousin if she has offended you.”“Heh, but she just vowed that the Lucas family won’t show me mercy and let me go unscathed.”Louis frowned and glared at Willow coldly.Willow lowered her head and bit her lip harshly.‘How is this happening? Looking at Louis’ attitude toward this old hag, won’t the things that I just said slap me in the face?Louis did not want to care about this matter originally, let alone l
‘If it’s as she described, and she was only talking to Maisie but got targeted by the latter, there’s no reason why Madam Nera, only a bystander at that time, would voice out for such an unreasonable woman. So if I were to look at it from this perspective, it’s very likely that Willow was the one who disrespected them first.’“Aunty, I… I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Heh, I’ll find out whether you’re lying to me, Willow. If you dare to hide something from me or even lie to me, I’ll never spare you that easily, even if you’re Marina’s daughter.”‘If my sister has truly given birth to such a scheming daughter, I’d rather not take her in!’Willow really panicked and felt extremely unreconciled deep down.‘How did things turn out to be like this!?’…Maisie sent Madam Nera to the ground floor of the Nera Tower.Madam Nera grabbed Maisie’s hand. “I’m really happy that you accompanied an old lady like me to an afternoon tea today.”Because Madam Nera had no children, Maisie was starting t
‘Could it be something that Mom has left behind?’…Willow returned to the Vanderbilt manor and wanted to talk to her mother and come up with a solution with her mother. Unexpectedly, she saw Stephen sitting on the couch with an obscure expression as soon as she walked in.And for some reason, her mother was kneeling on the side.“Dad… What happened to Mom…”“You still have the face to ask me that!?” Stephen was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. “You mother-and-daughter are really shameless. You actually have the guts to steal the bracelet that belongs to Zee’s mother!?”If Nolan had not called him and told him that Willow was pretending to be Marina’s daughter out there in public, leading him to find out that the bracelet in the box had been missing, he might not have known that his daughter would dare to go to this extent.This was the first time that Madam Vanderbilt saw her son acting this ferociously, so she only sat there and did not dare to say a thing.Wi
“What are you talking about? How could I forget about you, Nels?”“Hehe, don’t you only come to me when you’re lonely?” Nelson placed his rough fingers on her waist.Leila complained, “He has no interest in me, what can I do?”‘D*mn it! If it weren’t for the sake of conceiving a son, and Stephen has been refusing to touch me during this period, why would I come up with such an idea?‘Stephen is the one who’s treating me like sh*t, so he can’t blame me for cuckolding him!‘Anyway, since I was able to bring Willow back to the Vanderbilts and talk him into recognizing her as his daughter, I can definitely give birth to someone else’s son and do the same again this time around!’Nelson laughed. “I think you’re surely here because of something else, aren’t you?”“You do know me well, Nels.” A hint of viciousness flashed across Leila’s face as she said, “I’m here because of only one thing. I know what those people who serve you do, so if you’re willing to do this one thing for me, I’l
A text message suddenly appeared on the screen of Maisie’s cell phone.Maisie retracted her gaze, picked up the phone, and read the content of the text message. Her gaze then changed instantly as she stood up.She ran out of her room in a hurry and ran into Kennedy.Kennedy asked her immediately, “Zee, what’s the matter?”“My dad is involved in an accident.” Maisie did not have the time to explain too much and ran out of the office.Kennedy saw her look flustered, and his expression changed instantly when he heard Maisie say that Stephen was involved in an accident.‘I should go and tell Mr. Goldmann about this.’Maisie came to the underground parking lot and saw that her father’s car door was open. Her father was lying on the steering wheel motionless.“Dad!” She was about to walk over to check him out when she was stunned with a taser. She then saw the face of the man who stunned her before she completely lost consciousness.‘This man…’She eventually dropped slowly to the
“Nol— Nolan?”Maisie thought the man next to her looked like Nolan, but he slowly sat up and moved toward her, “What did you call me?”Maisie raised her hand meekly to hold the man’s collar but realized the man wasn’t Nolan, so she immediately pushed him away.She turned around, and there were a few men that looked identical. They put out their hands toward her with evil smiles. “Ah!”Maisie hugged her head, screaming her head off because she could no longer control her emotions. The terror on her face replaced her beauty.“This drug is really strong.” Seeing she had almost lost her mind, the men knew that the drug had taken effect.“I’ll give the rest to her tomorrow.”The men turned to leave, but the door was opened. Someone had budged in. The people inside looked pale. They saw a lame man with a cane walk in with a few burly-looking men. He removed his hat. “Give that woman to me.”“Gerald, what are you—”“You kidnapped Mr. Goldmann’s lover and brought her to my place.
Nolan’s eyes were filled with anger. “What was in it?”“Ecsta—” Nolan kicked the man before he could finish and collapsed on the ground. Nolan’s eyes were red with fury. “How could you give that to her!?”The man didn’t care about the pain caused by the fracture and frantically tried to explain, “It wasn’t a big dose!”They needed to give her shots for three consecutive days to get her hooked. She would just feel terrible for a few days if it was one shot, but they never expected Nolan to find them. Nolan carried Maisie with both arms and turned to stare at them. “If anything happens to her, it’ll be the end of you.”In the car…Nolan held Maisie in his arms. Her hands were cold, no matter for how long he rubbed them. “Zee?” Nolan spoke to her, but Maisie just looked up at him, a little slow. Nolan hugged her tight, his eyes dark and jaw clenched. “Quincy, drive faster!”“Alright!”Quincy stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped up.The drug’s effects came and went
