“I can understand that you want to help your friend.” Professor Merlin put on his glasses and started to sort out the documents on the desk. “But I’m worried that it might bring you some unwanted trouble if you poke your nose in it.”Freyja nodded. “I understand. Only someone from a powerful family can kill an inmate in prison with poison. And this powerful family is a threat to the prince and to the entire royal family.”The prison was tightly secured. Even if they had someone in prison, an ordinary person would never be able to pull out such a feat. Besides, if they killed an inmate, it would also bring them a lot of trouble. However, since they had the guts to do it, they must be capable of getting the trouble out of their way.Professor Merlin crossed his fingers and placed his hands on the desk. He sat with his back straight and said, “So, have you made up your mind?”Freyja said sternly, “Yes, professor. Even if I can’t find out who the mastermind is, at the very least, I
Freyja felt that he was indicating something. She looked toward Professor Merlin and said, “I can assure you that this has nothing to do with the prince.”The man frowned but did not say anything. Professor Merlin smiled and said, “Captain Burke, meet my student. She’s interested in this matter as well.”Captain Burke frowned and asked, “Is she related to the deceased?”“Nope. But she’s related to the prince. He’s Brandon’s daughter.”Captain Burke nodded. “I see.”Freyja looked at him and asked, “Can I ask you a question? What makes you think that this incident has something to do with the prince? Just because the prince’s man was around the scene when the suspect died?” Captain Burke fell silent for a moment before saying, “Although we can’t confirm whether or not this has something to do with the prince, he was the first one to know that Bart might be the person who put the poison in the food. And Bart died because he knew too much. Only those who were involved in the poiso
Mia went to make tea.Daisie approached Freyja. “Did something happen to Nollace?”She froze for a split second. “Daisie...”“Freyja, please at least give me something. Nollace hasn’t come back in two days, and when Edison came here the other day, he only told me that there’s something that Nollace had to deal with, but I know that even if something huge was up, he would still give me a call and update me personally.”‘If he hadn't run into some accident, how could he have only asked Edison to convey his words to me? And he didn’t even give me a call or send me a text message in the past two days.’Freyja knew that she could no longer hide it from her, so she lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Daisie. He probably didn’t want you to worry, but you should trust him.”Daisie sat down. “You guys don’t tell me anything. How do you expect me to believe in him?”Freyja took a deep breath and explained the matter slowly, “The police have detained Nollace for investigation. The police suspect
At the detention center…Under Yorrick’s arrangement, Colton got a chance to meet Nollace. “What the hell are you doing? Why did you get yourself in jail?”Nollace leaned on the back of the chair and took a glance outside. “Why have you come to visit me? Do you have too much free time on hand?”“Who would be free enough to come all the way here just to visit you? I’m asking what you want. You’ve got to the bottom of Daisie’s affairs and found out that it has something to do with the daughter of the Taylors. At the end of the day, why would you insist on investigating the death of the housekeeper?”‘By doing so, this ba*stard just dug your own grave with your own hands, didn’t he?’Nollace chuckled. “What you did to expose the recording won’t force the Taylors into compromising. Clover’s death has something to do with the Taylors, but the witness is now dead, and I haven’t found any other piece of evidence. If I didn’t come in and lock myself here, who else would do so?”Colton cr
Nollace shrugged indifferently, and Cecelia was on the brink of dying on the spot because of his complacency. “I’m indeed very proud of myself because the person who will end up in prison won’t be me. As for the evidence that’s putting me in here, clearing my suspicion is as easy as ABC. It only depends on whether I’m willing to go to that extent or not.”She sneered and gnashed her teeth. “Stop deceiving yourself. Nollace Knowles, you’re now only a down-and-out prince who will be locked in prison, and no one can save you except me!”At this time, a police officer suddenly opened the door and came in. “Mr. Knowles, you can leave now.”Cecelia’s expression changed instantly. “How is this possible!?”‘He’s the suspect who has the biggest motive, so how could he be released?’Nollace squinted as he thought about the sudden turn of tides, only to hear the police officer continue. “Your wife has provided us with strong proof that you would not poison Clover Finlay.”Nollace froze for
‘If I piss her off again, I don’t think I’ll be able to coax her.’Edison reported, “I’ve found some clues. The butler of the Taylors comes from the north too. He and Bart Duval actually share the same hometown.”Nollace supported his chin and thought about the information that they had obtained. “From the north, this seems to be a good clue. Send someone to the northern region to confirm this piece of information. By the way, deliberately release this information into the wind. It’s best if that person gets to know about it.”Edison nodded. “Understood.”As soon as Edison took his leave, Daisie grabbed him. “Nollace, Madam Ames’ death has something to do with the Taylors, doesn’t it?”“Most probably, but we still need evidence.” Nollace turned his head to face her, gazed at her, and held her hand. After that, he took her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “Don’t worry. I’m confident that we’ll get to the bottom of his matter.“…After Cecelia returned from the precin
Lucius’ expression looked a little restless, but he still stood his ground firmly. “That matter has nothing to do with Cecelia. The woman was the one who used Cecelia. Cecelia would definitely not do anything to persecute the royal heir.”“Really?” Diana picked the teacup up from the saucer in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the clear tea. “If this is the case, why is my son, someone who was investigating the cause of the housekeeper’s death, being framed as a suspect?”“Your Majesty, perhaps everything His Highness did was to avenge his wife. The prison guards and police found the murderer, and His Highness sent someone out to search for the murderer. However, the murderer had already been brutally killed when they got there. His Highness is very suspicious when you look subjectively at the matter.”“If Nollace is suspicious, why isn’t Ms. Taylor suspicious too?”Lucius’s expression stiffened.Diana lifted her head, stared directly at Lucius, and spoke clearly. “That houseke
The old man invited him in. The old man’s wife poured a hot cup of tea for Edison and placed it in front of him. The old man asked her to go take a rest and asked, “What would you like to ask?”“Mr. Bart Duval was shot to death a while ago. I’m here to investigate that.”The man heard that and was shocked. “What? Bart is dead?’Edison nodded. “I heard that he used to be your neighbor, so I’d like to ask if you know much about him. Does he have any relatives?”…The rain started pouring. After a long while, Edison said goodbye to the old man and walked to his car. He then stopped because he noticed that something was off. A few men in black approached him in the rain. …The light of the study in Taylor Manor was still on. Lucius stood in front of the window, looking solemn and treacherous.His phone that was on the desk started ringing, and he picked it up. The person said something to him, and he grasped his phone tightly. After a long pause, he said, “Okay. Send someo
“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
