Rowena stood downstairs with her arms crossed in front of her and watched as the silhouette entered the building, her eyes looking gloomy.‘If it weren’t for those three children, how would she be worthy enough of standing beside Nolan?’“Sis Rowena, have you waited for a long time?”Only then did Wynona hurried over, interrupted Rowena’s thoughts, and exclaimed with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to really come back.”“Yeah, how are things in the training camp recently?” Rowena’s expression changed as if nothing had happened.“Everything’s fine. It’s just... A newcomer arrived two days ago, and I don’t really like her.” Wynona’s expression looked really upset when she mentioned the newcomer.Rowena raised her eyebrows slightly. “Which newcomer are you referring to?”“Her last name is Vanderbilt or something like that.”“Maisie Vanderbilt?” A hint of surprise flashed across Rowena’s eyes. She did not expect that Wynona would know about Maisie since the latter had just arrived he
The training instructor nodded. Wynona walked into the mountains with Maisie and cordially looked at her. “You’re Maisie, right? I’m Wynona. I’ve been in the camp for a year. Nice to meet you.”Maisie smiled back politely. Wynona asked, “Did you volunteer to come to the training camp?”Maisie didn’t deny it but instead smiled and said, “I’m here for a test.”“Oh!” Wynona nodded, looked at her, and didn’t say anything more. They were surrounded by trees deep in the woods, and it was difficult to see the path. Newbies were usually arranged to go with a veteran from the camp, which was why Wynona was in a team with her. She didn’t suspect anything. “How far is the camp?” Maisie looked around. She couldn’t help but feel that they’re getting deeper into the woods. Wynona walked behind her and averted her eyes when she asked. She said, “Not far, soon, about 10 minutes.”Maisie didn’t think anything of it. But after ten minutes, they were still circling in the forest and hadn’
Meanwhile, Maisie searched around the forest for a long time, but she didn’t know the exact location of the camp, so she was getting annoyed.Was she really stuck in the forest?If she continued moving around, it would be hard for the rescuers to find her. She should stay in her spot.Maisie removed her backpack and sat down, but she suddenly heard rustling coming from behind her.She got up slowly, turned toward the movement, and yelled, “Wynona?”She received no reply, and the movement stopped.She gradually saw a shadow, but it was definitely not human.Maisie carefully picked up her bag and took a step backward. The rustling immediately started, and a wild boar with black skin and sharp tusks appeared.Maisie started sweating and was frozen on the spot. The first thing that came to her mind wasn’t to run because she knew she couldn’t outrun it.She realized that the wild board didn’t seem to want to attack yet, so she shouldn’t make sudden movements.She stepped on a bran
“I ran into a wild boar and sprained my ankle while I was climbing a tree.” Maisie had been so focused on climbing up, the pain of the sprain was overshadowed by the panic in her heart. She realized that much later.“Why are you in the restricted area? It’s a very dangerous place.”“This is a restricted zone?” Maisie asked.Cherie nodded, and the person next to her said, “This is an ancient forest that hasn’t been explored. There are a lot of wild beasts here. You were lucky to have just met a wild boar.”Even they didn’t dare to just wander in. Seeing a wild boar was nothing. If someone with no experience ran into a wolf pack, nothing would save them.Maisie was quiet. She seemed to remember something, and her face dropped.When they got to the camp, it was really late. When the training instructor saw that everyone was back, his tense face relaxed.But since Maisie had entered a restricted zone, he was still upset. “Don’t you know what restricted means? Are you trying to get i
A few strands of hair that were behind Maisie’s ear fell to her face. She kept putting them back behind her ear. It was a very common action, but it looked so nice to Francisco.A leaf fell onto her head, and Francisco froze, walked over but was tripped by the rake, and fell onto Maisie.He saved himself by holding onto the bench, but his sudden movement made Maisie jump. She turned around and suddenly saw Francisco’s face right in front of hers.They didn’t say anything.Wynona, who was standing in the shadows, saw that and punched the wall. She took out her phone, snapped a picture, searched for Rowena’s chat, and sent it to her.At Blackgold Group…Rowena got to the office and knocked.Nolan closed the file he was reading and looked up. “What is it?”Rowena walked to his desk. “I heard the news that Ms. Vanderbilt went into the restricted area yesterday and had to rake the leaves as punishment.”Nolan’s eyes narrowed. ‘Why would she go into a restricted zone? Was she hurt?
Maisie frowned and turned to look at her. “What did I do?”Wynona smiled gladly, thinking she had caught her secret. “About you stealing men.”This woman kept pretending to be innocent but had actually been sent to the camp because she was seducing someone’s man. Wynona had to expose the ugly side of her so that Francisco could see her for what she was!Maisie pulled her hand away and squinted. “I don’t think I’ve offended you in any way?”Not only had she brought her to the restricted area and abandoned her, but Wynona was also trying to chastise her based on a rumor?Wynona wasn’t going to back down. “You offended me by seducing Francisco!”Francisco? All for that man?Maisie laughed, raised her brows at her, and said, “It’s none of my business if you have a crush on Francisco. Why are you blaming me for your inability to attract him?”“I knew that you’re a vixen—”Maisie held Wynona’s chin, which scared her. “W-What are you doing?”That cold face got closer. “Did no one te
“Who said we must deal with her directly? Isn’t Raven living in the same room with her? Since Raven is so close with her, let’s deal with Raven.”There was no training all afternoon, so Maisie stayed in her room to read books and plan for the assessments.‘I’ll be able to apply to sit for the assessment in another two days. Half a month will go by in the blink of an eye.’Maisie did not seem to have seen Raven for quite some time, so she put down her book when the sound of the door being pushed open came from the direction of the door. “Raven, you’ve come back—”Maisie turned around only to see Nolan closing the door, so she stood up immediately. “Nolan, why are you—”“Are you surprised?” Nolan locked the door from the inside.Maisie was afraid that Raven would come back to see the scene later, but when she was about to go and open the door, Nolan stretched out his arm, wrapped it around her waist, and carried her onto the bed.Maisie resisted. “Nolan, have you lost your mind? T
Maisie did not speak.Nolan thought of something, took the white jade ring out of his pocket, took her hand, and slowly put it on for her. “I just want to give you a present today, take a look at this. Do you like it?”Maisie’s expression changed instantly when she saw the white jade ring on her thumb.‘Do I like it? Hehe!’Maisie sat up, removed the ring, and smashed it on the floor. Nolan’s expression instantly turned gloomy when the white jade ring shattered.He grasped her wrist, and the burning wrath at the bottom of his eyes was terrifying. “Maisie Vanderbilt, don’t take my indulgence for you for granted!”“What do you take me for?” Maisie stared straight at his murderous glare with her bloodshot eyes and said with a hint of mockery. “Nolan, don’t take me for a fool! Didn’t you and Rowena go to The Jade Store just to buy this ring for her?“Not only was it a present for her, but you also gave something she wore before this to me? Do you take me for a beggar and just give a
