Joaqin’s face sank when he saw his daughter had been beaten up badly. He shot daggers at the people in front of him and hissed. “Hah, you’re just an outsider, yet you have the guts to challenge my family because you’re favored by Mr. Southern Sr. If you don’t give me a suitable explanation today, I won’t let you off so easily.”“So what are you going to do to us, Mr. Serrano? Are you going to invite Mr. Southern Sr. here?” Nollace came out of the hall. He had put on a mask to cover half of his face. With his golden hair, light-colored pupils, and pronounced jawline, he looked exactly like a foreigner, with half of his face covered.He took one step down the stairs after the other and continued. “Well, it seems like I don’t have to introduce myself anymore since you know who I am.” Joaqin harrumphed coldly. “It seems to me that you have no qualms in making us your enemy after what you did to my daughter!” Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Nollace stopped in front
Joaqin shot daggers at Nollace and said, “Just you wait for me.”He then took his men and left.Nollace caressed his rings, and his gaze was cold. His entire being was enveloped in a chrysalis of evil energy that would force other people to stay away from him.Regardless of who it was, there would be hell to pay for those who dared to hurt Daisie.Meanwhile, at the Southern mansion…The maid brought Daisie to her room. “Miss, here we are. If you have anything you need, you can let us know.” Daisie replied with a smile, “Alright. Thank you.” After the maid left, she stood in front of the mirror. There was a forest at the back of the Southern mansion, and she could catch the fresh scent of the mud from the wind.Even though the room was decorated in an ancient style, the furniture was of modern style, and even the bed was from Simmons. The entire room gave off a cozy and was rather poetic. “How do you feel about the room?” She turned her head around and saw Cameron standing b
However, Damian was a closer friend to Sunny than to Fabio.Damian had heard that Cameron had brought an outsider back to the East Islands. That outsider had a special identity, and Sunny ordered him to take over The Commune. Damian was well aware of these. He took a sip from the tea and asked, “Is Neal not worried that he’s pushing Joaqin too hard? You’re the one who appointed him to take over The Commune, and by doing this, he will only make Joaqin more frustrated with you.” Sunny put down his cup and said calmly, “If he wants to rebel against me, he’ll do it sooner or later. He’s just looking for a breakthrough that will allow him to pull out without hurting himself.”Damian touched the gold watch on his wrist and continued. “Although Fabio is willing to provide benefits to Joaqin, we can see that he doesn’t trust him entirely since he’s still hesitating.“The reason Fabio is so anxious to get so many people on his side and monopolize the underworld is to make himself the kin
“At that time, he will be immersed in grief, and he won’t be able to defend himself against our attack.”Florence let out a laugh, and a hint of anticipation crossed her eyes. “Very good. I have wanted to get rid of the Southerns for a long time. This time, I’m going to kill Cameron with my own hands!”…As soon as Waylon arrived at the hotel, he bumped into someone familiar in the corridor. It was Nollace. He was standing in front of the window, and it seemed like he had been waiting for him for a long time.Nollace turned his head around to look at him. “I didn’t expect you to bring Daisie with you.” He chuckled and replied, “She was worried about you. Even if I don’t let her come, do you think I can stop her?” Nollace knew her behavior better than anyone else, so he knew this would happen.“I heard that The Serpents tried to give you guys some trouble.”“Cameron told you about it?” Waylon walked to the room and opened the door.Nollace followed him into the room and repli
Mr. Southern Sr. was startled and then burst into laughter. “Not bad. You’re way more polite than that girl.”Daisie wondered. “Who are you referring to, Mr. Southern Sr.?”Cameron coughed, put down the teacup, and changed the subject. “Dad, I’m going to talk to Mr. Serrano about my marriage to that tigress.”Sunny glared at her. “Do you still want to marry her?”Cameron frowned. “Who told you that I want to marry her? I’m going to talk to him about the termination of the engagement.”Mr. Southern Sr. glanced at him. “Are you sure that he’ll agree to it?”“Even if he doesn’t want to agree to it, he’ll have to do so.” Cameron poured herself some tea. “I’m not going to marry a woman who’s cheated on me.”Mr. Southern Sr. was rendered speechless.‘She’s talking as if she can marry a woman.’After that, she looked at Daisie. “Ms. Vanderbilt, if you’re willing to become my wife, I’ll take you over that tigress any day of the year.”Daisie was flustered and hurriedly explained, “I’
All humans were known to be selfish. If he were to force the other party into a corner, he would leave himself with little room to maneuver. It would only backfire if he was too eager to see immediate success.Joaqin was not an idiot, and this was not the time for him to act too obviously.“Since you don’t like Florence, I won’t force you to accept the marriage arrangement.” Joaqin lifted his gaze. “However, the Southerns should still provide me with an explanation on the incident where Neal Beck made a move on my daughter, shouldn’t you?”Cameron fiddled with the empty teacup on the table. “It’s not difficult for us to explain that, but Ms. Serrano is the one who created a stir at the hall, so shouldn’t she be the one who apologizes first?”Joaqin was slightly displeased. “It’s Florence's fault for making a scene at the hall, and she can apologize for that, but isn’t that too intentional for him to beat her up to that extent?”She asked him in return, “If someone were to cause tr
Joaqin turned around and ignored her. “Since you don’t want to apologize to them, you’re not allowed to get out of this building from today onward. Now go back to your room.”She bit her lower lip and dashed upstairs exasperatedly.Manuel witnessed the whole process of Florence being wronged, and what he saw tortured him in all possible ways. He had been with the young lady for so long and had never seen her be wronged. He did not understand the reason Joaqin would compromise with the Southerns.‘Those people deserve to die.’Florence had been grounded, and Joaqin had to send someone else to the Commune to apologize on her behalf to show their sincerity, which was the end of the matter.A few days later, Cameron went to the port to check on the goods. The Southern Clan went through the goods that they imported and exported very rigorously, and any non-compliant or illegal goods would be destroyed immediately.She took her men on board the cargo ship, and the female bodyguard behi
Cameron turned her head and said to the people behind her, “In the future, whenever the goods from this supplier appear at our port, they’ll be charged four times the import fee. If they don’t want to pay it, you’ll ask them to get their *ss and their goods out of the port. Do you understand me?”The person behind him nodded. “Yes, sir.”Cameron looked at the staff and placed her hand on his shoulder. He trembled from head to toe and did not dare to speak. “Contact the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse. Tell him that if he doesn’t have a brain, then he should close the club down as soon as possible.”She then left with her men.Back in the car, Mahina felt that something was wrong. “Mr. Southern, it’s obvious that Mr. Puzo is the one who played the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse, but why would you say what you just said?”Cameron rubbed her temples. “Do you think that the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse is mindless? He sold all his liquor to Fabio for no reason and then paid twi
“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
