Freyja was betting that Shannon’s boyfriend and the two men weren’t dumb. And as expected, the boyfriend glared at her. “Did you bring her to my villa so that you can pin it on us if anything happens?”Shannon did ask for his help to attack a woman, and he obliged.However, when they brought her over, he thought this would just end with the woman staying silent about the incident. He didn’t know that the woman had a skillful husband. After what she said, he had to carefully consider everything. He couldn’t destroy his own future for a woman. “No, honey, listen to me. She’s just scaring us. She can’t—”“Not everyone is as dumb as you are. Do you think your boyfriend will bet on you? Can you do anything that will benefit him?”Freyja then winked at the boyfriend. “I, however, can. Instead of having a girlfriend who only knows about spending your money and getting you in trouble, I don’t mind having a lover. I could invest 1.5 billion dollars into your company. Cash or gold ba
Come to think of it, Shannon always showed off to her friends how well her boyfriend treated her and how nice her life was, but all of that was overcompensation for her broken ego. Police sirens were heard from the window. The officers came over, and the two men immediately released Freyja and destroyed the video camera. The door was suddenly kicked open. It was Colton.When he saw that Freyja was still dressed and had no signs of injury, he breathed a sigh of relief.Shannon’s boyfriend smiled and walked forward. “It’s just a misunderstanding. We weren’t planning on doing anything to your wife—”Before he could finish, Colton’s fist connected with his face, and he flew backward. Colton hugged Freyja and pointed at the men. “If this isn’t a misunderstanding, you’re going to have a painful death.”The officers rushed over, then Colton said something to the leader, who got his men to arrest everyone for questioning.When they got to the car, Colton started taking off her cloth
Xyla helped Daisie with her hair in front of the vanity. The royals invited Yorrick, and Xyla needed to attend because she was his family member. Not everyone was able to attend the coronation. Not only was it the first time for Xyla, but it was also the first for Daisie.“Alright! How are my braiding skills?”Xyla picked up the mirror and stood behind her. Daisie saw her hair through the reflection and smiled. “It’s so beautiful.”“Of course.” Xyla put down the mirror. “I’m very proud of my braiding skills.”After Daisie was fully dressed, she walked out while holding up her dress. She stopped a server in the corridor and asked, “Do you know where Nollace is?”The man pointed in a direction.Daisie walked to the room where Nolalce was. She saw that the door wasn’t closed, so she carefully pushed it and went in. Nollace was in his suit and stood under the light. The server helped him put on his cape. It looked elegant and grand, like he was in a painting.Nollace saw her throu
The other inmates looked at her as though she was crazy. A few guards rushed over to hold her down. Sandy couldn’t accept her fate and fought back harder. “Why should you get all the benefits? I lost my son but got nothing! Diana and the Knowles, I curse you to a painful end!”She was dragged away. The inmates in the dining hall started talking to each other because Sandy was just a lunatic to them.Meanwhile, at the film college…Freyja’s father was now a knight, which meant he was an important figure in Yaramoor.Leia and the other friends were really happy for Freyja. “A knighthood. You’re an aristocrat now.”“No one will dare talk behind your back anymore.“Freyja, don’t forget about us.”Freyja smiled and closed her notebook. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”Leia smiled and said, “I don’t think you will.”Meanwhile, a man who walked past the lecture hall caused a commotion. A girl was shocked. “Isn’t that Normal Lancell? What is he doing here?”The Lancells were aristocrats t
“Ms. Mills…”The name rang a bell, but it took Freyja a while before she finally remembered it. Rooftop, suicide… Wasn’t this a scene in her script?Norman continued to pace around. “Do you remember it now?”Freyja let out a chuckle suddenly and said, “Ms. Mills didn’t kill herself in my script. In all of the mystery cases and detective fiction, all victims will always be revealed to be killed by other people.”“Have you figured out how to stage her death?” Freyja was stunned and lowered her head. That was where her script was stuck. How was the murderer going to make it look like Ms. Mills killed herself, and how was he going to escape without leaving any evidence behind?However, she did not expect Norman to be interested in this kind of script.Leia, who was standing on the side, was confused. “What are you guys talking about? What do you mean by a script?” Norman looked at her.Freyja went closer to her and whispered, “I’ll explain to you later.”After that, she walked
Colton walked to the table and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Are you not going to take your dinner?”Without raising her head, Freyja replied, “I’m not hungry yet.”“Did you eat anything earlier?”“Yeah. I ate something with Leia this afternoon.”She was too focused on her , so she failed to notice the changes in the expression on Colton’s face. He did not say anything anymore and left the study room.It took Freyja a long while before she finally finished the way the murderer carried out his murder. She looked at her phone and realized it was already 1:00 a.m.She walked downstairs and opened the fridge.However, there was nothing inside. She was very hungry right now, so she cooked herself some spaghetti.In fact, Colton hadn’t slept yet, either. He watched her silently from upstairs for a while before returning to their room.After she finished eating her food, she returned to their room.Colton was lying on the bed with his back facing her, so she thought he
Freyja remembered why Colton would get angry at her last night. It turned out that he had heard about the rumor as well.Suddenly, a student came over and said, “Freyja, the professor is looking for you.”Freyja came to the professor’s office. The professor had read through the draft that she sent him last night. “This is a perfect MO. Did you come up with it yourself?”Freyja replied honestly, “Norman inspired me.” “I see. No wonder I felt like I had seen something like this before, but this indeed is a very good idea. Anyway, Freyja, I have a task for you.”“What task?” she asked. “I want you to interview Mr. Lancell. This will be your thesis.”After he finished speaking, he handed the document to her.Freyja took over the document and said, “I’ll try my best.”When she was about to leave, the professor’s voice rang again. “However, you can’t ask for any help from Norman. You must get the approval from Mr. Lancell with your own effort.”She stopped for a moment and nodded
Freyja snapped herself back to reality and shook her head. “Nothing.”“You must tell me if something happens. I’ll be worried about you.” Brandon remembered something after he finished speaking. “The prison called me just now.”She was stunned and raised her head.Brandon continued. “They said your mother is mentally unstable and is behaving aggressively in prison. They’ll be transferring her out of prison in two days to judicially verify her mental issues…”He abruptly stopped, and Freyja asked, “What do you mean?”Brandon lowered his face and continued. “It means that if your mother does have a mental illness, she won’t be serving time in prison anymore.”“When did this happen?”“During the coronation ceremony,” he replied.Freyja frowned. If her mother was mentally triggered in prison during the coronation ceremony, was it because her aunt had gotten the power that she had been yearning for so long? According to the law of Yaramoor, if a person serving a prison sentence
“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
