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
Nobody knew how Nolan could manage to explain it to her in a serious manner, “Zee, if I were to suffer from any side effects because of holding back all these urges, it would be bad for you…”Back at the Goldmann mansion, Nolan directly carried Maisie upstairs and threw her onto the bed.Maisie pushed his body that was pressing against hers away in a flurry. “This… The kids are home, and this is not optimal…”“It’s okay. They’re all asleep.” Nolan peeled her clothes off as if she was a cocoon.“Then… The hotel room would be wasted!”“I don’t mind that tiny amount of money.”“Nolan— Umm!” Maisie’s words were shoved back down her throat as he bowed down and sealed her lips.Before Maisie could catch a breather, Nolan suddenly stopped, and the stagnant air in the room felt a little awkward.Nolan stood up and turned his back to her, his handsome face looking a little stiff.Maisie was befuddled for a split second.‘That’s it?’She took a sideways glance at Nolan.‘This breath-
At the hospital…Leila came out of the ward with her cell phone and went to the stairwell to make a call. “Willie, don’t worry. Grandma already trusts me. I’ll get your dad to go pick you up as soon as I get to go back to Vanderbilt manor.”“Wait, how much longer do I have to wait? I don’t want to stay here anymore!”Willow hated living in a cheap rental house.‘Had I known this would happen back then, I wouldn’t have irritated Dad like that. At least, living in the Vanderbilt manor is much better than this shabby place!Sensing that Willow was extremely grumpy, Leila said patiently. “I know, Willie, revenge is a dish best served cold. As long as we can bear it, there will always be a way to deal with that b*tch.“You should know that that b*tch now has the information about my life before I became Mrs. Vanderbilt. Both of us will really suffer if we fail again this time around!”Willow could only calm herself down no matter how anxious she was upon hearing what her mother said.
“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
