The next day, Gina provided all the evidence to the court. Everything she gave showed the court that her husband cheated on her, made her a victim of domestic violence, and even attempted to kidnap their biological son to force her into filing the divorce without asking for a single penny. She asked the court to get things moving as soon as possible.Derrien also provided the court with more important information and evidence, which pointed to the fact that Ronald intended to kill his wife.Gina never thought of this and was shocked by it. “H-He wanted to kill me?”Derrien nodded. “After you fainted at Ms. Blueman’s place, Mr. George didn’t show any intention of rescuing you. Instead, he planned to kill you and bury your body in order to get rid of all evidence. You would've died that day if someone else hadn’t heard the commotion and come to your rescue.“Gina’s face paled.‘What kind of man have I been married to all these years? My husband actually wanted to kill me for a mistr
Deedee pressed her lips together before saying, “But I touched it first.”The girl put her hands on her waist. “I don’t care. I saw it first, and I’m older, so you need to let me have it.”Just when Deedee was hesitating, a woman walked over. “Beatrice, that’s not polite.”Beatrice turned around. “Mom, I saw this first, and I like it!”Barbara was helpless. She leaned down to look at Beatrice and said, “You can’t say that you’re older, so she should let you have it. That’s impolite.”Beatrice lowered her head and pouted. Barbara looked at Deedee, “Do you like this dress too?”Deedee cautiously nodded. Barbara smiled and asked the shopkeeper over. “Do you have another one of this dress?”The dress was inspired by the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ costume. It was a popular item and sold out in Bassburgh. This was the last one they had. Barbara sighed and touched Beatrice’s head. “Bea, I’ll bring you somewhere else to find prettier dresses. We don’t have to take this one.”Beatri
Waylon turned around and suddenly smiled. “Aunt Barbara.”Barbara walked over while holding Beatrice’s hand. “It’s Wayne.”The car window was down, so Beatrice saw Deedee sitting in the car. “Isn’t this the girl from the store?”Waylon patted her head. “Bea, do you know Deedee?”Beatrice looked up at him. “Is her name Deedee? We met her while shopping with Mommy just now. She let me have a dress that we both wanted.”Barbara told Waylon what had transpired in the store, and Waylon smiled at Deedee. “You did well.”Deedee was bashful at the compliment. Barbara smiled too. “Deedee is Freyja’s niece. That’s why she looked familiar.”Everyone in Bassburgh knew that Freyja had a niece, and Barbara had heard of her too. She just never thought that they would bump into her at the mall. That was fate. She noticed Cameron and raised her brows. “Could this be Ms. Southern?”Cameron was surprised. “How did you know?”She had just been in Bassburgh for a short time. Barbara smiled.
Freyja ate the food. “After the child is born, love is no longer as intense.”Colton chuckled. “After giving birth to the child, you have the energy to bicker with me, huh?”She continued to eat and ignored him. He hadn’t shown any appreciation ever since Charmaine's birth. What made her angrier was that he would help her with everything before that, but once it was done, he would disappear.‘Is he no longer interested because he saw how Charm came out?‘Hah, men.’Colton noticed that she had a dark aura and was cautious. “Who made you angry?”Freyja glared at him because she thought the question was rhetorical. Colton didn’t know what to do. He moved next to her and was going to hug her, but she blocked his hands. “Don’t hug me.”He retracted his arms. Freyja looked at him and asked, “You really stopped because I said so?”Colton chuckled. “Well, do you want a hug or not?”She said, “Hug me when you figure out what’s wrong.”Colton stared at her and could guess why she
“Mr. Goldmann, $1,000,000 is nothing to you. As long as you give me the money, I promise that all this will be kept between you and me.”Colton raised his brows. “Why should I believe you?”Colton stopped next to the bed and stared at her with cold eyes. “After I give you the money, you’ll just spend it and come back to me for more. Jessie Blueman, do you think I’m as easy to con as Ronald George?”Jessie froze as though he read her mind and immediately said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will expose you?”He pulled out a chair and slowly sat down. “Go ahead.”Jessie was stunned. “You…”Colton crossed his legs. “You used your position, coerced Deedee to harm herself, and forced her to take medication. You even told her to hurt her aunt’s child. All those are punishable by law.“You say that you have evidence of me hiring people to assault you, then go ahead and expose it. Do you think anyone will believe you?”Jessie’s heart leaped, and she found it hard to breathe. “You… Even if I
The next day…A few luxury cars were parked outside the hospital. The media found out what happened, and they were camping outside.Maisie, who was carrying her granddaughter, walked out under the bodyguards’ protection.Colton held Freyja and walked behind them. The reporters rushed forward to be the first to report on the news.“Mr. Goldmann, did you have an illegitimate child with Ms. Pruitt? There was no announcement about your wedding before this, so I’d like to know if you got together because Ms. Pruitt was pregnant.”One of the reporters walked in front and asked questions that were straight to the point. Colton and Freyja were just confirmed to be married, and when she was later found to be pregnant, people were discussing their relationship status online. Some reporters turned to Maisie. “Mrs. Goldmann, do you have anything to say about this?”Maisie was carrying the baby and tried to hide Charmaine’s face from the cameras. She smiled. “I’m glad that you care so m
Are you serious? Don’t think that everyone is Cinderella. In the fairy tale, Cinderella was a noble before she fell from grace. You’re even less than Cinderella. Besides, the Goldmanns haven’t even said anything yet, so why do you have so many things to say?##I remember that someone exposed her identity before. She’s related to the family of the Yaramoor.##But she isn’t part of the royal family. Her grandmother was the mistress of the king. In other words, she’s a homewrecker. How can you help a homewrecker?##The difference between a homewrecker and a mistress is that the existence of a mistress is allowed. Just like how people in the past could have three or four wives, so of course, we can accept it now. At that time, it was legal. Besides, it's her grandmother who chose to be a mistress. Could she choose what family she wanted to be born into? She didn't get to enjoy any rights of the royal family either, right? I heard that she didn't have a good relationship with her family
Freyja’s smile froze.Soon, Colton was kicked out of his room again. At Coralia…The shooting session came to an intermission today. All the crew members were handing out box lunches, and when they saw Daisie return to her trailer alone, Tiffany said, "Even the Director, Mr. Gosling, and Mr. Lindholm are eating box lunches. Why does she have to be so special?”Someone beside her answered, “Her husband brought her meal himself. Do you have a husband?” Tiffany was stumped. “Just because her husband invested in this film doesn’t mean that she can get everything her way. So what if she won the Best Actress award? She’s just throwing her weight around here.”“I heard that she isn’t feeling well.”“I’m sure it’s just one of her excuses to run away from her job.” After Tiffany finished speaking, she looked at a young 12-year-old actor.She remembered that the young actor needed to shoot a scene in the water later, and the one who needed to save him was "Nancy." An idea appeared in
“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
