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
The two ladies froze on the spot.“Where’s Raven?” Maisie stared at them with a cold gaze.One of the girls answered cautiously, “Earlier today… We saw that Wynona and her mates took Raven away, but we don’t know where they’ve taken her.”‘It’s Wynona again!’Maisie’s eyes became even colder.Wynona was in the dormitory with two of her friends. They treated the bullying of Raven as a joke and talked about it with gusto.The dormitory door was kicked open abruptly, and the people inside were terrified.Wynona saw Maisie walking in and stood up. “Hey, where are your basic courtes—”The three girls sitting on the bed were astonished.Wynona, who was slapped, covered her cheeks and glanced at Maisie in disbelief. “You… How dare you slap me!?”Maisie slapped her to the floor. “Where is Raven?”Seeing that she had come for Raven, Wynona, who just got slapped twice, stood up from the floor. “You’ve just beaten me, and you still want to ask for her whereabouts. I warn you, I’m not s
Maisie handed a mug of warm water to Raven to warm her hands. “You should be hungry. I still have instant cup noodles in my bag. You gave it to me the day before yesterday, I’ll cook it for you.”Raven nodded, lowered her head, and took a sip of warm water.Maisie turned her head and looked at Raven. “I’m sorry, I’m the one who got you involved.”She did not expect Wynona and the others would make a move on Raven.‘If I didn’t care so much about this matter, wouldn’t Raven be locked there for one whole night?’Raven lifted the corners of her lips and forced out a smile. “I don’t blame you. In fact, I’m pretty lousy myself. I’ve been here for three months, and I haven’t learned anything well. How can someone like me become a secret agent?”Raven could not beat those ladies due to her poor physique, and she had been locked in the toilet and splashed with water. It was embarrassing to think about what she had gone through.Maisie soaked the instant noodles with boiling water, place
“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
