‘Regardless of whether I want to fight for the position, everyone in the country will only think that I’m the most suitable candidate to take over the position as the country's princess. I want to fight over it only because I want that woman to know her place and leave the prince.‘Why would I give her so much attention? At the end of the day, she’s just a daughter of the Goldmanns.‘However, Nollace actually did this to me because of that woman, and my mother is expecting me to turn a blind eye to it!?’Bianca knew what Cecelia was thinking and quickly tried to persuade her. “Cecelia, Nollace isn’t as simple of a man as you think he is. Think about the fate of those who have offended him in the past. Apart from being the son of Her Majesty the Queen, he doesn’t deserve you, my precious daughter.”How could Cecelia listen to her mother at this moment? She sneered. “If there are other princes, then I’ll choose to give up on him. But if you want me to give up now, you’re only turning
Lucius stared at the back of the car, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.‘The only person from the cabinet that Queen Diana has seen recently is Max. She has refused to see anyone from the rest of the cabinet.‘I originally planned to win Max over, but this fella is too rigid and upright. He’s not tactful enough. It’s no wonder that Diana would choose him.‘He’s only a young bird now, but it’ll be difficult for me to deal with him when he’s grown into a full eagle.’On the other side of the city…After sending Daisie home and confirming that she had settled down, Nollace went into the palace to meet his father. During the meal with him, Nollace took the initiative to tell his father about Lucius.Rick lifted his head in surprise. “What? Then what about the baby?”“The baby is fine. Because if I don’t say so, the Taylors will have a hundred excuses to set foot into the palace and demand an explanation. Mom has just succeeded as the Queen, so I can’t make things harder
Yorrick squinted and smiled. “I don’t think the Queen’s decision poses any problem.”The man asked angrily, “Don’t you mind if someone were to take your place in the cabinet?”“If someone else has the ability, I’ll be happy to step down from my current position. After all, there will be a time when all of us will have to retire, isn’t that right?” Yorrick still had a smile on his face, and the members were unable to tell whether he truly meant what he said or if he was trying to mock them.Those people looked dissatisfied but did not utter a single word.Yorrick then glanced at Lucius. “I heard that your daughter was hospitalized. Is she okay?”As soon as Cecelia was brought up, Lucius’ gaze dimmed. “Where did you hear this from?”‘I didn’t say anything about it. I won’t even allow rumors about things that won’t do the Taylors any good to exist, let alone spread.’Yorrick gave off a faint smirk. “I’m not very sure where I saw it. It’s from one of the media outlets, so it’s a lit
Not only that, Cecelia even exposed all the call recordings and text messages between her and Clover.The netizens were taken aback by such a turnaround and were obviously irritated by Cecelia’s remarks.#Is this b*tch very proud of her own status?##Are the Taylors really a thing? Aren’t they just another pack of dogs that the royal family raises as pets? Are the dogs actually looking down on their owner now?##We’re just some stupid commoners, so we shouldn’t sympathize with her, should we?##Is there something wrong with this woman?##It turns out that she’s failed to seduce the prince, so she now holds a grudge against him and has started defaming him. This is ridiculous.#Public opinion once again set off a huge wave on the Internet and pushed the topic up to the number one most discussed topic on Twitter and multiple other platforms.At the other end of the post, Cecelia was dumbfounded when she saw such remarks on the Internet. “How is this possible? I didn’t even post t
Edison paused because he was trying to guess what was on Nollace’s mind, then after a while, he finally answered. “I haven’t informed anyone, but I can’t be sure if nobody found out.”After ten minutes, they both waited in the hall, and the section chief walked out with the autopsy report. “You’re here, Your Highness.”Nollace looked at the report. “What did you find?”He replied, “We found some amatoxin in her body. This toxin is found in poisonous mushrooms. Consuming too much of it can cause heart failure.”After that, he flipped a page. “But what we found weird is that the food in prison is strictly prepared, so it shouldn’t just show up in the food. We didn’t find any of the poison in her cell either.”Edison whispered to Nollace, “Someone was bribed?”Nollace squinted but didn’t reply. After they left the Bureau of Justice, he rested his arm on Edison’s shoulder and smiled. “I have a mission for you.”Edison nodded. “Sure.”Nollace blocked the news about Clover’s death
The reporters left. Hedeon walked into the main hall with Nollace. “Nollace, what’s going on? Madam Ames is dead?”He didn’t know anything about that. Nollace stopped in front of the elevator and calmly nodded. “Yes.”Hedeon suddenly understood. “So, the reporters were here to frame you? Who would be dumb enough to paint themselves as a suspect?”Nollace had blocked the news, so only the people who worked in prison and the bureau knew. Once the news got out, it would mean that people from these two places were the ‘problem’. He looked at Hedeon and tapped his shoulder. “You’re quite clever.”“I have to be if I want to hang out around you.” Hedeon flashed a big smile. Nollace nodded. “I orchestrated the entire thing.”Hedeon’s smile faded as he followed him into the elevator. “Are you joking?”“Do you think I am?”“No, but the reporters today… You arranged for them to come over?”“They didn’t know that.” Nollace looked at him and squinted. “Now that you know, if you let th
During the time the news was blocked, the person they engaged with was let out of prison. However, they would be in trouble if this was exposed and the prison department started looking into it. The butler was sweating profusely. “What should we do then?”Mr. Tyler sat on his chair with a solemn face. “Silence them forever.”The butler’s legs went weak, and he was in shock. “Sir, but he’s my—”Mr. Tyler didn’t give him a chance to think about it. “If he doesn’t die, you will. You hear?”The butler touched his throat and didn’t dare make a peep. …It was dark outside when the lights at Blue Valley Manor lit up.Edison walked into the study and saw Nollace in a black silk robe standing in front of the window.“Sir, the prison department has done a thorough inspection. Other than one person who was on sick leave, everyone who was in contact with Clover was investigated.”Nollace squinted and looked at the man behind him through the reflection. “On sick leave on that day?”“Ye
Nonetheless, Daisie believed that Nollace would be able to get his name cleared. After she walked into the room, Daisie looked up at Mia and said, “You can wait outside.”Mia nodded, watched her go in, and walked around the corridor.After 15 minutes, Daisie walked out.Mia walked over and asked, “How did it go?”Daisie handed her the pictures from the ultrasound. Mia leaned closer and was shocked. “Oh wow, twins?”Daisie shushed her. “Keep it a secret for now. Don’t let anyone know that we still have the babies.”Nollace had announced that Clover and Cecelia had caused her miscarriage because he had plans. She had to play along to protect the children. Mia covered her mouth and nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”Daisie and Mia walked out of the hospital and bumped into Cecelia walking toward them, seemingly there for a check-up too. It was probably because of the side effects of taking the medication.When Cecelia saw them, her expression changed as she removed her sunglasses and gla
“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
