Nolan was rendered speechless.What would the man who killed it in the business world be afraid of? The answer was his wife getting angry. Now his biggest fear was that his children would have unique ideas about him. He was going to get a heart attack. Maisie spoke to someone on the phone on the balcony. The other party said something, and Maisie looked down. “Thanks, Mr. Zidane. Please don’t tell my father about this.”The person on the other end said something back, and Maisie nodded. “Alright, we’ll speak tomorrow then.”Maisie put down her phone and looked coldly into the night view. She had seen what was the agenda behind dinner that night.Even if her dad insisted on being on her side, it was weak compared to how hungry Madam Vanderbilt and Yorick’s family were.If they could not make Stephen hand over Vaenna’s ownership, they would be thinking about taking it by force soon.And then there was Leila and Willow. Leila was clever enough not to be on the wrong side this ti
Leila could only show her white feathers and respond weakly, “Mother, I... I’ll go back tonight.”“Go back tonight? Is this a joke?” Madam Vanderbilt saw that Leila was afraid of being rejected by Stephen and glared at Stephen, who had remained silent all this while. “Since you’ve called your wife back, then live your best life with her. What will the public say if they get to know that your wife comes here during the day and then goes back to her own house at night daily?”“Mother, don’t blame Steph. It’s my problem.” Leila took all the blame onto herself—the image of a virtuous and sensible wife overflowed.Stephen put down the teacup. Although he had asked Leila and her daughter to come back to the Vanderbilt manor, Leila’s fake pregnancy was quite a nightmare to him.However, seeing that Leila’s attitude had indeed done a one-eighty recently, Stephen said slowly, “Since you’ve already come back, you can stay here from now on.”After all, the divorce had not been finalized yet,
Madam Vanderbilt listened to Yanis’ words. She had always loved her only grandson the most, but her son would only hand Vaenna to Maisie now, so how could she not be anxious?She snorted. “Since we can’t change his mind, we’ll snatch it from under the table!”Madam Vanderbilt went to the law firm and requested the transfer contract as Stephen’s mother the next day. Mr. Zidane gave her the contract draft without any hesitation.Mr. Zidane then called Maisie after Madam Vanderbilt left.“Ms. Vanderbilt, a woman who claimed that she’s Mr. Vanderbilt’s mother came over and asked for the contract. I’ve given it to her,” Mr. Zidane reported.Maisie had already told him the other day that he should just hand over the final draft of the contract if someone were to ask him for the contract.After all, any ineffective contract would only turn out to be a stack of trash even if it were to fall into the wrong hands. The real contract could only be retrieved by authorized personnel.Maisie s
“What… What is this?” Stephen did not expect his mother had hired a lawyer as well.“Hi there, Mr. Vanderbilt. I’m Madam Vanderbilt’s lawyer, Mr. Headler. Madam Vanderbilt had entrusted me to come over with Vaenna’s equity transfer contract. Please do take a look at this.”Stephen was stunned. And his expression could not help but dim when he saw that the official heir mentioned in the share transfer contract changed. It was Hector now.Anyone who knew a thing or two about any share transfer contract would have recognized that the contract was a fake at first glance, so how could Stephen not be able to do so?“Son, you should have seen it. Hector’s name is clearly mentioned on this equity transfer contract. So, why would Vaenna have anything to do with Maisie?” Madam Vanderbilt snorted disdainfully.Had it not been for her eldest daughter-in-law, Yanis, who had reminded her about such a method, Maisie would have taken advantage of this loophole to obtain Vaenna’s shares.Anyway,
“How… How is this possible? I clearly saw you yesterday—” Yanis stood up and choked on her own words when she was about to disclose something.Madam Vanderbilt pointed at Mr. Zidane. “You’re the one who handed me the contract the other day!”Mr. Zidane smiled. “Madam Vanderbilt, I haven’t met you before this.”“You… How dare you claim that you haven’t met me before!? You’re the one who gave me the contract when I went to your office the other day. I can totally remember your face!” Madam Vanderbilt panicked and revealed the matter by herself.“That’s enough!” Stephen reprimanded her angrily, “Mother, I’m disappointed with you. Since you don’t treat me like a son, there’s no need to treat you as my mother anymore. You should just go back to your home in Coralia!”Madam Vanderbilt’s face looked as pale as death, and her hand was trembling when she pointed at Stephen. “I get it now, all… All of you are in collusion. I’ll leave!”Yanis naturally could not stay here any longer after M
Hans replied, “Yeah, Rowena and I came back with the Elder Master this time around.”While the two brothers were catching up with each other, the woman had already come up to Nolan with a smile. “Nolan, you still haven’t changed a bit after so many years, huh?”Nolan only responded indifferently.Seeing that his attitude toward her was still as cold as it was from years ago, Rowena did not feel a thing. After all, Nolan had not changed in her opinion.‘He still treats everyone so coldly. The detachment, the rationale, the coldness, and the decisiveness, are exactly why he’s so charming.’“Indeed, he hasn’t changed. It’s just that he’s the father of three little babies now.” Titus sighed.‘This kid was only 15 or 16 years old when I left home to go abroad.’A hint of gloom flashed across Rowena’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.‘It’s only been a few years, and Nolan already has kids?’…“Hmph, it really was Maisie! That sl*t!” Madam Vanderbilt saw the picture Willow had sent
Maisie gave him a sideways glance. She had always felt that he was very gentle.The waiter opened the door, and a few people were sitting on a round table that could fit 15 people in the large and luxurious golden private room.The three rugrats were sitting next to Mr. Goldmann Sr., and the gray-haired man who was sitting on the main seat surprised Maisie.‘Is he Nolan’s grandfather? But why does he have a slight mixed-race appearance? While Mr. Goldmann Sr. and Nolan don’t share the same features?’At that moment, she also noticed that a pretty woman was also sitting at the table.“Mommy, Daddy, sit here!” Daisie waved her small hand at them.Nolan wrapped his arm around Maisie’s waist, walked her to the two empty seats, and sat down.Mr. Goldmann Sr. said to Titus with a grin, “Father, this is the kids’ biological mother, Maisie Vanderbilt.”Maisie turned to the old man and nodded politely. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Mr. Goldmann.”The old man waved his hand and respon
Maisie smiled but did not utter a single word.Titus put down the wine glass, and the expression on his face became a little sterner as he started questioning. “Can this young lady who looks so timid and bashful be able to assume the position as the future mistress of the Goldmanns?”The old man’s remarks made the atmosphere a little tense and nervous. In his eyes, the future mistress of the Goldmanns must not be such a delicate young woman. She must be able to accomplish huge achievements and also be able to awe others.But when he noticed the tenderness and weakness of the lady sitting in front of him, it was in his nature to question her.Rowena retracted her gaze as a faint trace of amusement flashed across her expression. She knew the old man’s standards for his granddaughter-in-law. She had to be at least able to help out the Goldmanns, and she had to be familiar with everything that was related to the Goldmanns.‘After all, the Goldmanns run more than just an ordinary busin
