‘That b*stard Cameron! He actually used the account book to convince Fabio that Manuel and I are related.’A fat man walked behind Donald. “Sir, what should we do now?”Donald picked up the water glass on the table and drank the water slowly, and his gaze turned stern gradually. “What else can we do? I can only abandon this chess piece of mine so that I can prove my loyalty to Mr. Puzo.”…After Manuel returned, he still imagined that Donald would help him to solve the issue. However, unexpectedly, he suddenly received a call from an unknown woman.The woman said something to him, and Manuel’s expression changed drastically. “How is this possible!?”“Believe it or not, Mr. Estrada, do you really think that Donald will help you? He has already decided to push you out into the wilderness. You should find a way to escape now. Otherwise, Donald might even get rid of you in order to protect himself.”Manuel wanted to say something, but the other party had already ended the call.He
Cameron returned to her senses and caught Waylon’s gaze.‘Have I been staring at him all this while?’Cameron cleared her throat and turned her head away. “Did you grow up eating walnuts?”“Walnuts?” Waylon frowned, squinted, and then gave off a faint smirk. “That’s rather superstitious, but are you praising me, Mr. Southern?”She looked out the window. “Whatever, you’re free to think however you like.”She did not know if it was because of the rumors, but she felt a little awkward when she was with Waylon.‘He should have heard of those rumors too, but maybe he’s not taking it seriously. Could it be that I’m the only one who keeps thinking about it?’At half past five in the evening, Manuel drove to the pier.As soon as Florence woke up in the back seat, she was shocked to see herself in the car. She then thought of the words that Manuel had said to her before knocking her out and was outraged. “Where are you taking me!? Manuel Estrada, you’d better let me go!”Manuel glanced
Mateo brought some of the members from The Serpents together with him and waited at the edge of the police blockade. His expression looked extremely distressed when he saw the bodies.Cameron frowned. “Manuel even dragged Florence along.”Waylon was silent. Nobody knew what was going through his mind at this moment.…Donald received the news of Manuel and Florence’s accident. He then placed his cell phone on the desk, pinched the foot of a wine glass, and swirled it lightly, feeling delighted.A fat man came up to him. “Sir, Manuel actually knew that you were going to leave him out there and chose to escape with Ms. Serrano.”“I already know that.” Donald moved his gaze off the glass. “It’s a pity that even God wouldn’t side with him this time around. If he hadn’t brought a burden along with him, he would have managed to escape successfully. A woman still brought him down in the end.”‘I didn’t even have to do anything.‘When Florence sent me the text message asking for help,
Now that Florence was dead and Manuel was still being rescued in the ICU, Mateo stayed outside the operation theater, just in case something were to happen. If Manuel were to die here, the truth would forever be buried.At this time, the red light bulb on top of the door of the operating theater was turned off while the green light lit up.The doctor then came out of the operating theater, and Mateo stood up instantly and stepped forward. “Doctor, how’s the patient?”The doctor took off his mask, and his expression looked distressed. “I’m sorry. We’ve done everything in our capability.”Mateo was shocked, and he grabbed the doctor by his shoulders. “What do you mean by you’ve done everything possible? Are you telling me that this is it for him?!”He was emotional, but the doctor had gotten accustomed to such a reaction. He could only explain Manuel’s condition to him calmly, “He’s been too badly injured. His organs were all crushed by external forces, and he was bleeding heavily.
At the last moment of the recorder, anyone could see and hear Manuel’s mental breakdown. Even if Manuel deserved to die, Florence should not have been made the victim. However, she was still implicated by Manuel and eventually died because of her own ignorance.Waylon chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to have such a sentimental side, Mr. Southern.”She turned to look at him. “I’m just not reconciled. We were only 5 kilometers away from the pier, and we almost caught him. Who would have expected that such a thing would happen?”‘I would feel better if Manuel and Florence were murdered when they were on their way to the pier. At least a direction would present itself to me, and I’d know who went after them. I could make a move on those people.‘However, they’re the ones who caused the accident, so there’s no clue whatsoever. Donald didn’t even have to do anything.’The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. “In the end, Donald got away with this the easy way.”Waylon slowe
Waylon squinted and nodded after a while. “I’ll remind her to be more careful.”The next day, Joaqin learned that Florence had died in an accident, and his face turned pale instantly.He was stunned on the bed and was unable to speak for a long time.Sunny patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”Joaqin could not hide his grief, and his expression looked gloomy. “I didn’t expect my connivance would kill my daughter eventually.”‘If I were to be able to find out about Manuel’s ambition sooner, I’d definitely drive him away at all costs.’Unfortunately, no one in the world would be blessed with so many “ifs” in their lives.Mateo appeared outside the ward at this time. “Boss.”He took a glance at Sunny, walked into the ward, and knelt beside the hospital bed all of a sudden. Joaqin wanted to get out of bed to support him, but his legs were still not fully recovered, so getting out of bed was simply out of the question. “What are you doing?”“Boss, I’m to blame for this inci
Fabio’s expression looked terrifyingly gloomy. “If someone hadn’t secretly informed Manuel about my plan, would he have run away? Now that both of them have died, The Serpents have no leader at the moment. And let’s not forget that Joaqin is still alive. The Southern Clan has truly gotten away with this as the biggest winner.”‘If Manuel was the only one who died in the accident, at least we could still take advantage of Florence’s ignorance.‘As long as Florence was still under my control, Mateo would never have the guts to go against her.‘However, now that both of them are dead, it’s only logical for Mateo to persuade everyone in The Serpents to go back to the Southern Clan. And without someone to exert control, it will be even more difficult for me to deal with the Southern Clan.’Buchanon looked at him. “Is there really something wrong with the men working under us?”‘Otherwise, how could the Southern Clan be ahead of everything?’After a short moment of silence, Fabio stare
Cameron was embarrassed and turned her face away. “I’m a woman. What’s wrong with me putting on some women’s clothes when no one’s around?”Daisie chuckled. “Then you should put them on. I’ll wait for you outside.”She walked out of the dressing room, not forgetting to stick her head back into the room to take a peek. “I’m looking forward to seeing you in women’s clothes.”Cameron closed the door. “Get out.”Fifteen minutes later, Cameron changed her clothes and walked out of the dressing room.She was in a loose, long, light tortilla long-sleeved blouse with denim shorts. The hem of the blouse was long enough to cover the pants, exposing a pair of long, well-proportioned, slender legs, a pair of laced mid-tube socks and white sneakers, the overall appearance looked extremely casual and young.Daisie came up to her and took a closer look at her. “I thought you would only know how to match your men’s clothes.”Cameron pulled her long hair backward. “How do I look?”Daisie lifted
“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
