Leila did not want to go back to her previous life. She would have nothing left if she were to leave the Vanderbilts.‘I just need to keep this b*tch under control for now. As long as she’s willing to forgive me, I’ll surely wipe her off the grid in the future.’“Heh, begging me would do you no good. You should do whatever you need to do as soon as possible.” Maisie straightened her posture. “Back then, you were responsible for driving me out of the Vanderbilt manor. It’s now your time to leave the house.”She did not even want to look at Leila again, so she left the ward while Quincy let Leila go and caught up to her.Leila sat stiffly on the spot, her expression gradually turning gloomy.…Quincy returned to the Blackgold administrative office and honestly reported everything that had taken place at the hospital.‘Mr. Goldmann asked me to act as Ms. Vanderbilt’s lackey for half a day. What else can I do apart from this?’Nolan propped his hand against his chin and put down th
It seemed like Linda was being forced to do everything while she was working here.Maisie did not want to bring it up before this as she thought Linda could not work here for long. However, Linda had actually been able to stubbornly stay here for so long, so it was a coincidence that she had run into an excuse to ask her to leave today.Seeing that Maisie was very determined to fire her, Linda looked at Nolan. “Nolan, Maisie—”“This is not something that’s under his control. It’s useless for you to call anyone now.” Maisie’s face dimmed. She was the only person in this world who had the guts to be upright and not care about Mr. Goldmann’s reputation and status.Nolan smiled. “Yes, this department isn’t under my authority. Zee has the final say here.”Everyone finally realized what it meant to be a man that stayed behind his wife.Linda bit her lip, turned around, and left aggrievedly.Maisie turned around, handed the information to the staff at the reception counter, and went ba
“Nonsense! How would my son scold someone? And are you telling me that it’s reasonable to beat my son now?” the woman said so while looking at the teacher. “Where’s the principal? Get the principal here and give us an explanation about this incident. Do the Linwoods look like some random pushover to you?”The teacher felt very helpless while she was overlooking the situation. She then glanced at Colton. “Colton, no matter what, you’ve hit your classmate, and that’s not the right thing to do. You have to apologize to him.”“Why should I apologize first? He called me a b*stard who doesn’t have a father. Shouldn’t he apologize to me too?” Colton asked while tilting his head.Ryleigh took a deep breath after listening to this. “Isn’t your son a rude little boy? Who is he calling a b*stard who doesn’t have a father?”‘Holy sh*t, thank God I’m the one who’s been summoned here.‘If Zee were to be the one who’s standing here, wouldn’t she have slapped the kid? And if she were to come here
Louis dragged her aside. “Is this still not embarrassing enough for you?”When the woman saw his appearance, her arrogance was instantly halved. “Mr. Lucas, you’re finally here! You have to be the judge of this matter for me. We’ll put the fact that this boy has beaten my son aside first. This woman just slapped me a few minutes ago!”“Mrs. Linwood, your son should apologize first for his impertinent remark.”Mrs. Linwood was dumbfounded. “My son... Since when did my son speak rudely? It was my son who got beaten. Besides, it was this woman who made a move on me first.”“If you want to get to the bottom of the matter between these children, you can pay the surveillance room a visit and check the footage out. As for the matter between you and this lady...” Louis gave Ryleigh, who was tidying her clothes at the moment, a sideways glance.Ryleigh met his gaze and instantly burst into wrathful laughter. “What are you looking at? You’re going to tell me that I’m at fault, aren’t you? M
Ryleigh was 5 foot 3 in height, and she was also dressed in a rather girlish style. Thus, she indeed looked a little short when she was standing in front of Louis, who was 6 foot 2 in height. But saying that she was flat-chested!?That might not be very aggressive, but it was extremely insulting!Colton laughed out loud.“Colton, you’re too much! You actually partnered up with such a person to bully your godmother. Do you believe that I won’t inform your mother about what you’ve just done?”Colton dashed to her immediately and hugged her coquettishly. “Godmother, it’s my fault, so don’t tell Mommy about this!”Seeing Colton acting all adorable and coquettish in front of her, Ryleigh became very gentle and cute again.When Colton saw the caller ID displayed on the smartwatch, his expression changed instantly. “Oops, Mommy is here to pick me up already!”Ryleigh took Colton out of the campus and saw a dazzling Rolls-Royce parked at the gate.“Mommy!” Colton rushed to hug Maisie a
“What are you doing?” Madam Vanderbilt felt uncomfortable deep down upon seeing him put his silverware down and throw a silent tantrum for no obvious reason.“You should know the relationship between Mr. Goldmann and Zee. Don’t think I don’t know what you have in mind. If you dare to go and argue with Zee, then you can go back to the ancestral mansion already.”Stephen had endured it for too long. He has endured a lot more than usual just because she was his biological mother.“What? How dare you threaten your own mother?”“I’m glad to hear that you still know that I’m your son.” Stephen calmed down. “Zee is your granddaughter, but you’ve never cared about her. Do you value your grandson so much? If you didn’t value a grandson as much as you do, I would have divorced Leila a long time ago. I wouldn’t have to be made a fool by her fake pregnancy scheme.”“A… A fake pregnancy?” Madam Vanderbilt was bewildered.She was still wondering why she had not seen Leila at home all day, thin
‘Madam Vanderbilt had always been keeping a close eye on it.’Maisie’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I must attend this meal if those people from the Vanderbilts are really planning to lay their hands on Vaenna.”“Zee, do you want me to accompany you there? After all, who knows what they’ll do.” Kennedy was worried about her attending this meal alone.Maisie was caught up in her thoughts for a split second.‘Kennedy is right. They must have a purpose since they asked to meet me. I don't know what they might do. In any case, I must go prepared.’…Maisie stepped into a high-end restaurant. She had tied her long hair into a neat high ponytail, was dressed in a black and white color-blocked dress with split ends, and had a pair of golden sequin earrings.She attracted a lot of attention from the guests around the area when she walked into the hotel.Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the waitress standing at the reception stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, “Miss, do you hav
“Yeah, Zee, anyhow, the Zimmermans are quite reputable in Coralia. You don’t have to worry about anything if you were to get married to this family.” Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt chimed in with each other perfectly as if they could not wait to marry Maisie to the Zimmermans at this very moment.Maisie chuckled. “I even have kids. Are the Zimmermans so desperate that you welcome the kids that come in a package with the daughter-in-law of your choice?”Yanis and Mrs. Zimmerman’s expressions changed upon hearing this. While Madam Vanderbilt responded immediately, “Zee, what are you talking about? Since when did you have children?”“Whether I have kids, you’ll know more about that after you’ve confirmed the details with Father.” Maisie crossed her arms and leaned back slightly. “The children’s father is actually Mr. Goldmann. So no matter how prestigious the Zimmermans are in Coralia, how can they be comparable to Mr. Goldmann?”Mrs. Zimmerman looked embarrassed in an instant. She glared
“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
