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.
Maisie had to find a way to stop it soon. At Soul Jewelry Studio…The other people in the department gradually left for the day. Nolan got to Maisie’s office and leaned on the door with his arms crossed while watching Maisie look for some documents in front of the book rack. He couldn’t move his eyes away from this beauty before him. Maisie didn’t notice someone approaching her. She was searching with her head down but felt something move closer behind her. The man hugged her from behind and made Maisie jump. She didn’t turn around to see who it was. “Nolan, why are you—”“What? I just want to give you a hug.” The man’s voice sniggered from the top of her head. Why couldn’t he let go of this woman?Maisie took a deep breath and remembered what had happened the night before. Her cheeks burned up.Maisie felt a little ashamed, but she wasn’t going to admit that she couldn’t resist his ‘charm’ last night.“It’s time to fetch Colton from school.” Nolan lowered his head and p
