The people in The Serpents were filled with fear when they heard about Mateo's death. Even though they were no longer in Fabio's territory, they did not know about Joaqin's whereabouts, and there was no one to lead them now. Soon, Fabio sent someone over and took some of them back while the rest of them went into hiding. There were not many people left in The Serpents, and they were on the verge of disbanding.Meanwhile, in the hospital…Mateo’s men had all gathered in Joaqin’s ward. When Joaqin heard of Mateo’s death, he was filled with grief and hated himself for being powerless.Cameron and her men appeared in front of the ward, and the crowd in the ward all turned their heads to look at her.She stopped in front of Joaqin’s bed and said, “My father said he’ll give you an explanation regarding Mateo’s death.”Joaqin did not say anything, but the people in the ward were agitated. “Explanation? What kind of explanation? Mr. Southern Sr. said that he’d help us, but what happened
Mahina shook her head as she did not know anything either.The two walked out of the hospital and came to the front of the car. Cameron had just opened the door and got into the car when she saw another person in the rear seat and was startled. “Why are you here?”Waylon leaned against the car window with his hand propped against the side of his forehead and turned to look at her. “Donald is at the casino investigating the identity of the woman who revealed Andrei’s identity.”Cameron closed the car door, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him. “Are you worried about me?”He looked away and did not utter a single word.Mahina took a peek in the rearview mirror as she drove them away from the scene. ‘The young master and the eldest son of the Goldmanns really make a great couple.’She suddenly thought of why such gossip about the two of them would spread around. Anyone who saw the two of them together would most probably think so too.Cameron noticed her fixed gaze and patted
Donald turned around, walked behind the desk, sat down in the director's chair, and tapped his fingers against the table. “What about Neal Beck? Haven’t we sent someone to keep an eye on him?”“About this...” Chunky lowered his head. “That person hasn’t come back yet, and I’ve failed to get into contact with him.”All the items on the desk were instantly swept to the ground—the most direct eruption of emotions occurred without warning.Chunky did not dare to say a word. He did not even dare to breathe.His expression looked gloomy and sulky. “That useless piece of sh*t! It seems he’s been discovered.”“Even if he’s been discovered, no one will ever suspect you.”“Oh, really?” Donald glared at him. “Manuel has been exposed, and the Southern Clan knows that he and I are connected because of the account book, and it’s just a matter of time for them to start to suspect me.”Chunky was at a loss for words.Donald rubbed the bridge of his nose and leaned back into the chair. “That wo
‘Besides, do you really think he’ll be able to accept this sudden news?’Cameron crossed her arms and did not say anything.Sunny said earnestly, “Your Uncle Damian is just asking you to go and meet the girl, so just go. Moreover, the girl might not even like you, so just take it as a facade you have to play.”She turned around, walked to the door, stopped, turned around, and smirked. “Okay, I’ll go, but just in case I take a fancy to her, you’ll be the one who marries her since I don’t mind having a stepmother at my age.”“Get out!”At the same time as the book was thrown at her, Cameron quickly dashed out of the door, and the book could only hit the door.Sunny rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing.‘Why are everyone else’s daughters cute and graceful princesses, while mine is like a goon on the streets? All she knows is to piss me off.’…As night approached, the yellow street lamps lit up. The lights in the clubhouse flashed beautifully, creating an illusion of a linger
“Nice, that’s a very interesting name.” Buchanon nodded and poured her more liquor. “Since you claimed that you’re good at drinking, then accompany me to drink. As long as you can keep me entertained and delighted for the night, you’ll definitely get a huge tip at the end of today.”An imperceptible coldness surged from the bottom of Yanis’ eyes. “It’s my pleasure to be able to serve you tonight.”In the room, Buchanon had drunk several glasses of liquor in succession, and his cheeks were slightly flushed at the moment. He had been very grumpy all night and had been drinking in a hurry, so he was already almost completely drunk.Yanis’ expression remained unchanged. She took a glimpse at him through a sideways glance and saw that he was almost drunk, so she put down her glass. “Sir, do you have something on your mind? I wonder if I’ll be honored enough to be your listener for the night?”Buchanon had suppressed his dissatisfaction for a very long time and had drunk so much over the
Nollace sat in front of the laptop and started to decipher the folder using hacking tools. After half an hour, he finally cracked the password of the folder. He then skimmed through all the documents found inside the folder and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw something.After a while, he took out the USB flash drive, turned off the laptop, got up, and left the room.Jake drove to the hotel’s parking lot and waited. Nollace took off his wig and got into the car.Jake took a glance in the rearview mirror.‘Jesus Christ! This man still looks so good even when he is dressing up as a woman. I guess he’s the one person in the world who can achieve this.’“You shouldn’t have exposed yourself, right?”Nollace rubbed off the makeup on his face. “He’s so drunk that even if he recalls what happened tonight, he may not remember who the lady is.”Jake drove away from the hotel. “Fabio assigned some of the management rights of the Parkin Chamber of Commerce to its branches. Buchanon mu
Daisie moved away. “You can’t hug me if you don’t explain.”Nollace was troubled because he didn’t know how to explain. There was a knock on the door, and Jake’s voice came from behind the door. “Mr. Beck, your bag of clothes was left in the car.”Nollce placed his hand on his forehead and walked to the door to get the bag from Jake. “Thanks.”After the door closed, Daisie took her bag and was going to leave when Nollace blocked the doorway. She mumbled, “Please move. I’m leaving.”Nollace was amused. “You’re really angry?”“I came to see you, but you treated me this way. You’ve changed, you *sshole.” She pushed him away and then grabbed the door handle, but Nollace handed the bag to her. “Do you want to take a look?”She turned back. “What’s that?”She took the bag and opened it. It was women’s clothes, a wig, perfume, and makeup.Daisie picked up the bottle of perfume and sniffed at it. It was the one on Nollace. She figured it out and looked at him in shock. “Are you… Ar
Sunny smiled. “It’s interesting to think that two girls are on a blind date.”Waylon looked back at the tea in his cup and smiled. “What will happen if the girl likes her?”Sunny waved his hand. “Don’t worry. It’s probably going to fail because of that outfit.”Waylon ran his finger over the brim of the cup and didn’t speak. Cameron waited there for a while until the door was opened, and a lady walked in. She wasn’t the prettiest, but she looked classy. The woman smiled. “Are you Mr. Southern?”Cameron crossed her fingers and rested her chin on them. “I am. Are you Minzy that Uncle Damian tried to introduce to me?” Minzy sat down and placed her bag on her side. “I’ve heard about you, but I imagined you differently.”Cameron smiled. “I get that a lot.” She pushed her hair back and leaned back on her chair. “It’s probably because I’m so hot.”Minzy looked uneasy but still had a smile on. “You’re so humorous.”Once the food was served, Cameron picked up her cutlery and went s
“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
