“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
“If you don’t recognize Zee, then I can only leave this place with her.” Nolan met the sullen gaze of the old man.“Are you threatening me?” Titus was furious.‘This brat has only given birth to three little humans, and he’s already so full of himself!’Rowena glanced at Nolan nervously. “Nolan, stop provoking your grandfather.”Nolan ignored her and responded, “Yes, I just threatened you.”“Okay, get out of my sight. Why should I care about how you feel when I’m eating dinner?” Titus slammed his cutlery on the dining table heavily, and his domineering aura surged abruptly.The atmosphere became a little rigid all of a sudden.Nolan was holding Maisie’s hand and was about to stand up, but Maisie pulled him back onto his seat and looked directly at Titus. “Sir, you shouldn’t just judge the book from its cover. You don’t even know me, so isn’t it a little too early for you to be making conclusions about me?”The old man who thought he would scare the young woman into taking a few
After all, as long as they were Nolan’s children, the kinship would not change.Colton turned his face away. “No matter what, I don’t like him.”Waylon did not speak. He only knew that he would never treat anyone who had mistreated his mother well.“Nolan.” Rowena caught up to them.Nolan turned his head indifferently and held Maisie’s hand. “What’s the matter?”Maisie also looked back at her.‘Isn’t it obvious that this woman has feelings for Nolan?’“Nolan, don’t worry, I’ll help you persuade Grandpa. After all…” She said so and took a glance at Maisie, “After all, it’d be unfair to make Ms. Vanderbilt join the military.”Maisie squinted.‘Will she help me without asking for anything in return?’The three rugrats stared at Rowena.‘How would this woman exude the aura that resembles that of Willow’s? Not to mention that she’s another woman who wants to pester Daddy, just like Willow does.’Nolan’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he did not utter a word.Maisie smiled faintly. “
It seemed that there was no need for Maisie to be merciful anymore.At the Vanderbilt manor…Stephen saw the headlines on the newspaper and smashed the newspaper on the table out of pure wrath. Leila, who was bringing him fruits, took a glance at the contents of the newspaper and pretended to be shocked. “Steph, why is this news talking about Zee? Is there any misunderstanding?”Stephen knew that this news article must have something to do with his mother and sister-in-law. His expression turned sulky in an instant, and he did not answer the questions.Willow came downstairs and exclaimed deliberately, “Dad, Maisie deliberately hired a lawyer to deceive Grandma and Aunt Yanis. I just saw it on the papers.”“Willie, don’t make such bold claims.” Leila pretended to support Maisie.“How are they bold claims? I’ve read it with my own eyes. If that’s the case, isn’t Maisie deceiving Dad too? Dad had already agreed to transfer his shares to her, but she still colluded with a lawyer to
At Coralia’s police station…“Officer, have you gotten the wrong person? How could my son possibly be selling drugs?”“Yeah, officer, you must’ve made a mistake. My grandson is still so young. There’s no way that he would do such things.”Both Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt panicked. If Hector was caught distributing drugs, the consequence that he had to face would be a lot more serious than when Yorick was caught for money laundering!Hector was the only heir of the Vanderbilts. He was the only one who would inherit and continue the family lineage in the future. His criminal record would stay in the system if he were to face a jail sentence. Which lady would dare to marry him if that was the case?The policeman who was writing the testimony raised his head and glared at them with a solemn expression. “He’s already in his 20s, and you still consider him young? Our colleague found drugs in his bag, and we’ve been notified by our superior. He’ll face at least five years or more in priso
