Daisie looked at him. “It’s only tens of millions. I can pay you that.”Mitchell could not help but laugh out loud. “Of course, you can pay me that amount, but unfortunately, money can no longer satisfy me.”After all, Mitchell was once an A-lister. Tens of millions were nothing to him, so it was only natural that money could not satisfy him.Daisie frowned. Her hands behind her back kept groping for the knot. “Then what do you want?”Mitchell smiled grimly. “I want you two to end up just like me. That must be very exciting.”He turned around and summoned the people outside the door. “Come in.”Four men appeared outside the door, looking at the two women on the ground maliciously. “These two women are worthy of being celebrities. Don’t they look beautiful? Everything will be worth it after tonight.”Susan trembled vigorously, knelt on the ground, and wept. “Mitchell, please let me go. I... I’m all yours to command, okay?”Mitchell stopped in front of her and watched as she begg
Ignoring the excruciating pain that Daisie was feeling, she got up quickly, wrapped her clothes around Susan, dragged her up, and ran out the door.The men who got up behind them went after them. “Don’t let those two b*tches get away!”Daisie ran downstairs with Susan, and the people behind her chased after them.Daisie did not stop running away until a stick hit her in the leg, and she fell to the ground. She turned around, and the man who was coming after them was already standing behind her.He panted and gave off a fierce smirk. “Did I tell you to run? You b*tches.”Daisie felt for the stick on the ground, gnashed her teeth, and stood up. The assault from just now caused her legs to tremble. The pain was so acute that it felt as if her bones had broken and her ligaments had torn.She clenched the stick tightly and was about to hit the man with it.The man wanted to dodge the attack subconsciously, but in the next second, Daisie was pinned down, and the stick was dropped from
Nollace tightened his embrace, and he pressed his warm lips against her forehead as he held back his emotions. “Close your eyes and rest for a bit first. Everything will be fine soon.”Daisie nodded, leaned against his chest, and closed her eyes.Colton arrived in a hurry. “Daisie!”Nollace picked her up and handed her to Colton. “Send her to the hospital. I’ll take care of the matter here.”Upon seeing Daisie’s condition and the injuries that she had suffered, Colton’s heart skipped a beat. His expression dimmed, and he gnashed his teeth, took her into his arms, and immediately carried her into the car.Susan’s face was as pale as death.‘That’s actually the second son of the Goldmanns, which means they’re here for Daisie?‘If they learn that I... It’s game over for me!’She then thought of something, got up, and came to Nollace’s side. “Sir, Mitchell is the one behind this incident. He kidnapped Daisie and me, and Daisie was hurt only because she tried to save me...”Nollace
Colton added, “Yes, Mom. Nollace has stayed back at the scene to deal with them. There’s no way that they’re getting away with this.”Maisie took a deep breath to calm herself down.At that moment, the doctor came out of the ward.Nolan stepped forward and asked, “How’s my daughter doing?”The doctor replied, “There are a few mild bone fractures and traumas, but fortunately, they didn’t harm any vital organ. The patient will need some time to recuperate, and...”He paused for a few seconds and said softly, “Other than that, the patient hasn’t been violated, so please don’t worry about that.”Daisie was sent to the hospital with her clothes in pieces and a mess. Thus, everyone knew and understood what had happened. It was only natural for the doctor to examine that and give her family a detailed explanation. And once there was such a possibility, he would have to call the police immediately after extracting the semen of the suspect.In the eyes of doctors, reputation had always b
Daisie rested her hand on top of Freyja. “There’s no need to feel guilty. I’m fine now, right?”Freyja replied. “You were just lucky, but what if it happens again?”Daisie pressed her lips together and looked down. “I’ll be more careful.”“I’ve asked for a few days off from Charlie, and he wants you to rest well. As for news about Mitchell abducting you, it hasn’t gotten to the press yet. Otherwise, it would have shaken Bassburgh.”Mitchell had played with fire and gotten burned. He would face charges, especially after the abduction. That would be the end of him.…After Colton walked out of the police station, he saw Nollace’s car parked not too far away. He walked over, and the back window slowly rolled down. Before Nollace spoke, Colton asked, “You didn’t hand Susan and Mitchell over to the police?”Only the four men were locked up for now, and they had admitted to their crimes, but Susan and Mitchell were nowhere to be seen.Nollace gave off a mysterious smile. “Do you th
Once Nollace walked into the villa with Freyja, he nodded toward Maisie. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Freyja greeted her too. “Hello, Mrs. Goldmann.”She didn’t want to come, but Daisie had just been discharged from the hospital, and it would be impolite if she didn’t show up. Furthermore, no one would suspect anything if she went over with her cousin.Maisie looked at her and smiled. “I’m glad you’re here. Make yourself at home.”Freyja walked to Daisie, who tugged at her sleeve and leaned in. “When are you going to tell my mom that you and Colton— Mm!”Freyja covered her mouth.Nollace looked toward them, smiled, then stopped next to Maisie. “Let me help you.”Maisie paused, then smiled and patted his shoulder. “Alright then, thanks.”He nodded. “Don’t mention it.”Daisie brought Freyja upstairs and bumped into Colton, who was coming out of the study.Colton looked at Freyja, who was standing next to Daisie, and froze before walking forward. Freyja held onto Daisie's arm and avoided
However, this beast was as tall as her on its hind legs, looking pretty scary. “Ah!”Colton, who had just gotten to the backyard, heard her voice and ran over. He then witnessed Goldbar pushing Freyja down to the ground. She closed her eyes in fear, but Goldbar seemed to like her a lot and started licking her face.Colton put his hand to his forehead. “Goldbar!”Goldbar heard someone call it and turned toward Colton. In the next instant, it sat down, looking innocent. Colton helped Freyja up and cleaned her face with a napkin while giving a warning. “Goldbar, you’re not allowed to kiss her.”Freyja was rendered speechless. Goldbar gave out a low howl in protest. Freyja pushed Colton away, got up, brushed the dirt from her clothes, and looked awkward. “I thought it was going to bite.”She had been under the impression that big dogs were vicious.Colton patted Goldbar’s head. “Bite her.”Goldbar looked at him, then at Freyja. Freyja angrily shoved him. “Colton!”Colto
“How hard is it to speak to them? He’s such a coward.”Daisie had made her relationship with Nollace public even when her father was against it. Nollace said, “Men and women think differently. Women don’t usually think too much about this, but men need to. Your brother has taken over Blackgold and has always been careful since he was young. So, he can’t be able to do anything he wants to like you can. Furthermore, Freyja’s mother will be an issue.” Daisie was stunned and looked up at him. “But Freyja had cut ties with her parents, and the king had accepted her as his grandchild.”Nollace shook his head. “If she were to marry Colton, everyone would know her identity. Even if she is the grandchild of the king, her mother is a problem maker.”“You’re right.”Nollace and Daisie turned around. Maisie was next to them and had heard and seen everything. “Mom, how long have you been standing there?”Daisie was surprised. ‘Does Mom already know about Freyja and Colton?’Maisie cro
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
