Yorrick looked at her and said impassively, “Do you want to go against the Queen’s order? Or are you implying that the Taylors are so powerful that you can even ignore the royal family?”“You—”“Cecelia.” Lucius rose up to his feet slowly and looked menacingly at Yorrick. “I’ve nothing to fear. I can go with you, but if I’m innocent, I won’t let anyone of you get away with it.”Yorrick smiled and moved to the side. “Please come with us.”Lucius flung his hand and left the living room, followed by the police.Cecelia dropped to the couch when her father was taken away, looking just like a wilted rose.Her father would never do something like that. He must have been set up.Suddenly, a person’s face appeared in her head.‘It must be him! Nollace!’At Blue Valley Manor…When Nollace and Daisie came down from the car, Cecelia’s voice boomed out. “Nollace!”Both of them turned their heads around to see that Cecelia was charging toward them. However, their bodyguards stopped her,
“Other than the Home Minister, the rest of the people refused to admit their doings. It seems like Lucius has a lot of confidence.”Nollace squinted and thought for a while. “I guess we can only try our luck on the Home Minister.”Since he was the only one willing to admit the guilt and take the blame, Lucius must have threatened him.Yorrick patted his shoulder. “We have only three days. Try your best.”After that, he turned around and left. Nollace came to the room that detained the Home Minister. The middle-aged man inside looked haggard. Apparently, losing his freedom was not a pleasant experience.When he saw Nollace, he was stunned for a moment, but he averted his gaze and remained silent.“Are you sure you want to take all the blame, sir?”He gnashed his teeth and said, “I don’t understand what you are talking about, Your Highness.”“It’s okay. After all…” Nollace leaned on the door. “None of you are getting away with it.”The Home Minister was stunned again, but he d
Meanwhile, in the Home Minister’s house…Since her husband was being investigated and there was a chance that he might serve time in prison, his wife bought tickets to Florinia and planned to take her daughter out of the country to escape the storm.When they finished packing up and went out of the door, a few cars stopped in front of their house, and their faces turned pale.A few bodyguards got out of the cars and said, “Ma’am, I’m sorry. But I’m afraid you can’t leave now.”Inside the car, Nollace received a call from the bodyguards, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “Well done. Now it’s time for us to fight back.”He ended the call, and the bodyguard in the passenger seat answered a call. He smiled and said, “Sir, Edison has woken up!”“Go to the hospital.”They turned their car and headed to the hospital. Edison had just returned to his senses and was very weak now.Nollace entered the ward and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Edison finally come to his
Cecelia grinned coldly, and there was a manic glint in her eyes. “You work for Daisie, right? It seems to me that she cares a lot about you. I wonder if she will still care about you now or not.” Mia instantly understood what Cecelia was trying to do. Her brain went blank, and her heart was clutched by fear.Meanwhile, Daisie was resting on the bed when her phone rang.She took her phone and answered it when she saw it was Mia. “Yes, Mia?”“I’m not Mia. You didn’t think I’d have her, right?”Daisie’s pupils constricted. The voice did not belong to Mia, but it sounded familiar. “You… You’re Cecelia?”“Yes, it’s me. I told you that I’d make you all regret it. So listen up, Daisie. Your maid is in my hands now. If you don’t want her to die, then come to me.”“Daisie, don’t listen to her! Mmmhm!” Daisie clutched tightly to the phone when she heard Mia’s voice. She bit her lips and said, “Cecelia, this is between you and me. You don’t have to drag an innocent person into it. Relea
“Daisie…”“Nolly, promise me to be safe.” Daisie caressed his cheek. “Promise me.”After a long while of silence, Nollace grabbed her hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Okay. I promise you.”Daisie hugged him and said, “I promise you too.”…Cecelia was sitting on a chair, playing with her phone. Soon, she received a call from Daisie. She put it on the loudspeaker and said, “So, have you made up your mind?”Daisie said, “Yes, I’ve already made up my mind. Didn’t you want me there? I accept your challenge.”Mia’s mouth had been duct taped. She could not shake her head while whimpering.Cecelia laughed. “Are you coming alone, or are you bringing people with you? But it’s okay if you bring someone with you. I’ll just…”She put the phone near the cage, and Daisie could hear clearly the barking and roaring of the dogs. “I’ll lock her up with the Mastiffs. They’ve not been eating anything for a few days, and they’ll eat anything in their sight, including humans. You may need to help
The Tibetan Mastiffs behind Daisie crashed into the iron cage, and the sudden clank scared her into losing her balance and staggering a few steps before bumping into the man standing behind her.The man took advantage of the situation and hugged her. “Don’t worry. We won’t hurt the baby in your womb.”A hint of coldness flashed across Daisie’s eyes, but she held back the feeling of disgust and tried to stay calm. “Wait, this isn’t exciting enough.”The three men were startled. “Yo, you actually have a fetish for something more exciting?”Daisie turned around, stared at them, raised her eyebrows, and gave off a seductive smirk. “Ms. Taylor has always wanted to see my downfall with her own eyes, hasn’t she? I can only give you guys my best performance when she’s around.”The three men did not expect her to be so bold and wild. Anyway, she was alone and could not run away from them anymore, so three of them decided to send one of them away to report this situation to Cecelia.Daisie
The other Tibetan Mastiff that sprinted toward him was shot to death too.The other two men who got mauled were lying in a pool of their own blood and were on the brink of dying.Nollace saw Daisie hiding in the cage, and his pupils constricted instantly. “Daisie!”Daisie opened the door of the iron cage. Her face looked pale, and she crawled out of the cage weakly.Nollace hurried forward, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the top of her head. “Are you okay?”She shook her head and did not say anything. She was obviously frightened by the scene of the Tibetan Mastiff mauling those men to the verge of death, so she could only lean against his arms at that moment.Cecelia covered her cheek and yelped bitterly, but she did not forget to vent her hatred while suffering from the excruciating pain. “Daisie Vanderbilt! You b*tch! How dare you play tricks on me! I won’t let this slide. I’ll definitely kill you! Aaah!”The police and paramedics arrived just in time to hear what
Bianca was flustered. “What do you want?”Nollace smiled and continued indifferently. “Then you might have to sacrifice your husband’s lifelong freedom in exchange for a few years' worth of commutation for your daughter.”The butler’s expression changed immediately, but he did not dare to make a sound.However, Nollace just so happened to catch the change in his expression.Bianca lowered her gaze, and her face was filled with pain and agony.Nollace left the hospital and got into the car. Daisie was sitting in the car with his coat draped over her shoulders, waiting for his return. It was obvious that her complexion had recovered a little. “Nollace, how did things go up there?”He took her into his arms. “Everything’s fine, how about you? How are you feeling?”“I’m feeling much better now.”‘It’s just that I’m not used to watching those scenes live.’He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. “Then let’s go home first.”She nodded since she was starting to feel slee
“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
