“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
Maisie pressed her lips together and added, “We just need to get Yorick released. The travel agency and everything else isn’t my concern.”She could help get her uncle out, but she would never forget what Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt had done to her. She was only helping for her father’s sake, and she would stay out of the rest. Of course, if they never change their attitude, it would be a different case. Nolan got up, walked to her, leaned forward to match her height, and looked at her. “I can get him out, but…”He pulled her into his arms. “What do I get in return?”Maisie took a deep breath. She knew this man would take advantage of the situation. She blinked. A kiss was a kiss, and a few more kisses wouldn’t make a difference. She took the initiative, which was rare, but he put his finger to her lips, his eyes burning. “You’re not going to get rid of me so easily.”Maisie slapped his hand away. “What do you want?”“You,” he answered with the same expression. Maisie’s
“Mom, Vaenna Jewelry was founded by Zee’s mom. I can’t give it to my nephew.”“Why can’t you?” Madam Vanderbilt shook with anger. “Marina hasn’t been around for so many years. The company is yours now. There’s no need to care how a dead person feels about how you manage it.“Furthermore, Marina wasn’t a good person when she was alive. Look how she treated you. What’s holding you back?”Maisie stopped outside the study and heard Madam Vanderbilt insult her mother. She walked into the study with a heavy expression. “What did you mean by that?”Stephen was stunned. Had she heard everything?Madam Vanderbilt didn’t expect Maisie to be back. She gnashed her teeth. “Why are you back?”“I’ve gotten Uncle Yorick released and wanted to congratulate you, but I wasn’t expecting to hear you insult my mother.”Maisie crossed her arms and raised her brows. “Maybe I shouldn’t have helped.”“He’s your uncle.”“I get that, but other than that, I don’t seem to have anything to do with you, Vand
“Since Madam Vanderbilt has already expressed her opinion, why didn’t you take the opportunity to get back Vaenna’s shares?” Kennedy looked at Maisie incomprehensibly. After all, Stephen would definitely hand the shares to her if she were to mention them to him at this time.Maisie gave off a faint smile. “Soul isn’t very stable yet. I’d have to spend more time and energy if I were to get my hands on Vaenna Jewelry’s shares now. It won’t pay off.“But since my father has promised me not to hand Vaenna’s shares over to Hector, I can naturally rest assured.”Since a while back, her relationship with her father had no longer been as rigid as it was before. Although she had once blamed her father for a lot of things, he was still her biological father.Quincy appeared outside the office with a gift box. He knocked on the door first, smiled, and entered the room. “Ms. Vanderbilt.”Maisie was startled. Her gaze landed on the blue gift box in his hands. “What is that?”“It’s a custom-ma
Nolan then whispered, “I don’t want to wait anymore.”He lowered his head and kissed her.In the panoramic suite…Nolan placed Maisie on the big round bed covered in rose petals, pressed her down, and kissed her lips passionately and vigorously.The hair scattered on the sides of her neck was fiddling with his heart.“You, how should I punish you?” His deep and bold voice intoxicated her heart.“May I?” he whispered in her ear.Maisie was slightly startled as her feelings seemed to have been taken into consideration. Her cheeks blushed in an instant. “*sshole, you… You’re actually shameless enough to ask— Umm!”Nolan held her waist and could not wait to get all over her, but the cell phone in her purse rang all of a sudden.Maisie’s reasoning that had left her long ago was forcibly summoned back into her head by the ringtone. She then pushed his shoulder away. “Nolan, my phone…”“Just let it be.” He gnashed his teeth furiously.‘Who would call at this time to interrupt such
“Who told you that you don’t deserve it? You’ve saved my life. That makes you the great benefactor of the Vanderbilts.” Madam Vanderbilt was still a little scared at the moment. After all, if Leila had not appeared and pushed her away, she would have probably died underneath the wheels.“Stephen, you’re no longer a young lad, so stop thinking about the divorce all day long. Leila has been married to you for so many years. Isn’t it just a fake pregnancy? She only wanted to give you a son. Is that wrong?”Madam Vanderbilt glared at Maisie as she was speaking. “We’re a family, so why make it difficult for a member of your family?”The sentence was directed at Maisie.Maisie raised her eyes lightly and smirked. “Wow, Grandma, did you get rescued by Ms. Scott just when you were about to run into a car accident? What a coincidence, huh?”Leila bit her lip.‘D*mn you, Maisie Vanderbilt! So you’re really here to make things hard, huh!?’“Zee, I know that you don’t like me, but I didn’t
