‘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
‘She’s a woman that has slept with other men, and she’s still planning to bring her kids along when she moves into the Zimmermans? That’s impossible.’But seeing how her son was reacting, Mrs. Zimmerman could only accept the fact that Maisie was a woman who had had children.‘She still has to come over and serve me after moving into the Zimmermans.’“Oh, do you want me to abandon my children?” Maisie smiled.“Zee, the Zimmermans don’t even care about the children, yet you still want to bring your children along when you marry Jimmy? Are you out of your mind?” Madam Vanderbilt sounded anxious.‘Is this b*tch planning to ruin the marriage arrangement? Keep dreaming!’Madam Vanderbilt quickly glanced at Yanis.Yanis naturally understood what she meant.‘Anyway, what’s been done can never be undone. We’ll make it happen today even if we have to achieve our goal through force.’How the Vanderbilts supported each other’s play halfway through the meal could almost form a theatrical a
When Linda turned around and was about to leave, Maisie suddenly opened her eyes, got up, walked forward, and stunned her.Seeing that Linda had dropped to the floor and lost consciousness, Maisie dragged her onto the couch in the small private room. “Heh, since you’ve planned to set me up, then don’t blame me for giving you a dose of your own medicine.”It was fortunate that she had come prepared. She had stopped at a pharmacy and bought some special antidote that could nullify rape-date drugs while she was on her way here. She had also taken it while traveling here, and its effect would last for four hours.The drinks placed in front of her had indeed been fully sealed, but it was a pity that she had noticed the tiny pinholes that were so subtly poked next to the opening of the bottles that they were difficult to detect.She drew the curtains, and the interior of the private room instantly dimmed. She then noticed the sound of someone opening the door coming from the outside, so
“This… This should have been Maisie. How did it become…” Madam Vanderbilt staggered.‘Didn’t we drug that sl*t?’Maisie walked in and covered her mouth slowly. “Ah! What is this?”“Maisie, you b*tch! It’s you, isn’t it? You’ve ruined my daughter!” Yanis stepped forward, wanting to slap Maisie, but Maisie managed to evade.Maisie hid beside Mrs. Zimmerman nimbly. “How can you blame me for this? Linda was the one who told me that she’s been admiring Mr. Zimmerman for a long time while sending me over. She even knocked me out. I was already in another private room when I woke up.”“Bullsh*t! You’re clearly—”The unconscious woman who was lying on the couch gradually opened her eyes and woke up. She then saw so many people standing in the room and felt a torrent of pain throughout her whole body. She immediately lowered her head, only to find herself naked. Her expression changed in an instant as she grabbed her clothes to cover her body. “Why… Why am I here…”She then saw Maisie an
“No, Mrs. Zimmerman—”“You don’t think my son is good enough for you?” Mrs. Zimmerman stared at Yanis, who was looking utterly disappointed. “Yes, Lynn is lucky to be marrying a Zimmerman. Too bad I didn’t have such luck.” Maisie tried to stifle a laugh, but her eyes betrayed her.Madam Vanderbilt almost fell to the floor because all her plans had been ruined, and Linda had even lost her innocence.Yanis felt the same. She wanted Linda to marry someone with status and power in Bassburgh, but now she had been taken by Jimmy Zimmerman. It was all because of Maisie. Yanis stared at Maisie with hatred in her eyes. Maisie noticed that, but Yanis wasn’t the only one hating her, so she couldn’t care less. She was just giving them a taste of their own medicine!…The high-ranking executives looked up when Quincy opened the door to the solemn meeting room. Nolan, who was sitting in the main seat, looked cautious.Quincy nodded at the executives and walked quickly to Nolan to pas
Why was Nolan there?Jimmy was stunned. He questioned unhappily, “W-Who are you?”“The father of her children.”Nolan stared coldly at him. This useless man wasn’t going to steal his woman. Jimmy opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He was probably frozen by the coldness the man exuded.Maisie laid in the man’s arms and put her arms around his neck. “Honey, what took you so long?”The anger that consumed Nolan when he saw her with this man disappeared when she hugged him and called him ‘honey’. He didn’t even want to question her about what was going on anymore. Nolan put one arm around her waist and held her chin up with the other, “I wouldn’t know that someone was trying to steal my woman if I didn’t show up.”Maisie raised her brows and played along. “Bring me home then.”‘Home…’Nolan smiled. It was nice to hear this woman say those few words.“Zee—”Jimmy wasn’t done yet, but he retreated when Nolan stared at him. That man was overwhelming. Who was he!?In th
The incident got into the news.Madam Vanderbilt watched her son’s arrest. Their properties in Coralia were involved, and their business almost collapsed. She had to ask her other son, Stephen, for help. “Stephen, he’s your brother. You have to help him!”Stephen was anxious upon seeing his mother crying and begging. “He was caught money laundering. How am I supposed to help him?“I told him not to get involved in this, but did he listen? Now he’s caught. How am I supposed to help him?”Stephen was helpless. He had started his business in Bassburgh because he wanted to leave the family and build something of his own. His mother had always paid more attention to his brother, but he knew what his brother was doing in Coralia. Madam Vanderbilt lost her focus but seemed to remember something. “Isn’t Zee in a relationship with Mr. Goldmann? Can you ask Zee to speak to Mr. Goldmann and get him to speak up for her? This whole thing will be settled!”Stephen laughed. “This is the on
