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
Freyja didn’t answer, so Maisie laughed. “She said it wouldn’t be up to you if she married into the family. It would be up to her.”Colton looked at her and looked angry. ‘What does that mean? She had no plans to marry me all along?’‘That must be why Mom is against our relationship…’Freyja had already made up her mind because she had a complicated past. Expecting the Goldmanns to accept her would be a stretch. She took a deep breath and chuckled. “Colton, you don’t get to decide by yourself if we’re together or not.”She had her reservations, so if she were rejected, it wouldn’t hurt that badly. And if Colton weren’t the one controlling everything, he wouldn’t be the only one who could pull the plug. She felt better thinking that way. Colton looked angry. “Freyja!”“I’m sorry, Mrs. Goldmann, I should leave.”Freyja turned and was going to leave. Before Daisie spoke, Maisie’s voice echoed. “Will running away help you feel better?”Freyja froze on the spot. The voice
Daisie leaned forward slightly and whispered, “See, Freyja? I told you my mom is a good person. She has approved of you and my second brother.”Even though she tried to make her voice as low as possible, Maisie still heard her. Maisie raised her head and glanced at Daisie. “Since when I'm a terrible person? I’ve always put you kids first, and see what you did? I give you an inch, and you take a mile.” Daisie smiled at her and said, “You’re the best mother in the world, Mom.”“What about me?” Nolan chimed in.Daisie thought for a while and replied, “You’re the best father in the world, but you’re behind Mom.”Nolan was rendered speechless and felt hurt.Maisie chuckled and said, “Honey, you should just eat and stop being jealous of the kids.”Nolan shook his head and replied, “It seems like my position in the family is getting lower and lower.”He was never their kids' first choice, and his wife prioritized their kids over him.Smiling, Maisie went closer to him and said, “D
Daisie looked at him. “You’re quite optimistic, do you know that?”“Well, I’ve always been an optimist,” James replied with a grin, “I'm not a good person, but there is one thing good about me. I have a big heart.”Daisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the drawer. “Have you been filming lately?”James was stunned. “How did you know about that?”“Mr. Johnson told me about it.” She smiled and added, “He said you’re rather proactive today. He also told me that you look like you finally decided to put in effort in your career.”“Bullsh*t. I’m not being proactive. I need money,” James replied sternly. “My dad has frozen my credit card. If I don’t start filming right now, I won’t even be able to pay for my gas.”Daisie chuckled and patted his shoulder. “Keep it up, young man. You might not need to ask for money from your father anymore in the future.”After that, she waved her hand and left.James lowered his head, and his gaze turned gloomy as he looked at
