‘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
Quincy walked over and slowly opened his mouth. This stepmother was too cruel. She would ruin Maisie to secure her daughter’s future.With his last breath, Nelson looked up at Nolan, sitting cross-legged on the chair. He looked like the devil straight out from the depths of hell. He had no expression on his face, while his amber eyes were cold and sharp, making him look devilish.Nolan uncrossed his legs into a new sitting position. He leaned forward and looked down at him. “If you admit it, I’ll let you live.”Nelson’s eyes filled with tears as he saw hope. But what Nolan said next took out all the shine in his eyes and only left them with fear. “Break his hands and legs. Spread the word that whoever tries to save him will suffer the same consequences.”Nolan got up and left without looking back. Quincy signaled the men with his eyes and followed Nolan out. Gerald brought his men in to check long after they left. Seeing how terrible Nelson looked, Gerald shuddered.
Maisie suddenly remembered something when she saw Quincy and asked, “Where’s Nolan?”“He went back for a change of clothes. He sent me over.” Quincy smiled. He probably didn’t want to stain his shirt with blood. “Quincy, did I… bite Nolan?” Maisie asked.She remembered that she had bitten someone, and she thought she had heard Nolan’s voice. Quincy smiled. “You remembered—”Maisie looked down. It was true. She continued asking, “Do the children know that I’m in the hospital?”She hadn’t been home for a few days. What would the children think?Quincy answered, “You weren’t stable for the past few days. Nolan covered it up because he didn’t want them to worry.”Maisie nodded. It was true. If Waylon and the others came to see her here and she wounded them, Maisie would feel horrible. “And my father—”“Your father is fine.”Nolan walked in. The doctor and Quincy left, giving them time to be alone. He sat down next to the bed. His handsome face looked tired, but he wa
