“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
“Yes, sir, she came to us and threatened us for no reason. She even hit Wynona. We obviously haven’t done anything wrong.”They had the number advantage and could testify for each other, so they were not afraid of Maisie’s explanation.Maisie was about to say something when the instructor struck the table. “Okay, there’s no need for further explanation. The training camp isn’t the place for you. You can pack up and leave now.”Wynona and the others were smug deep down.‘No matter how powerful she is, isn’t she still the one facing expulsion in the end?’Maisie stood there and did not even budge. The instructor looked at her and was bewildered for a split second. “Didn’t I ask you to go?”“I can’t go.” Maisie’s tone sounded calm. “Besides, they’re the ones who broke the rules first. Why am I the one who’s being asked to leave?”The instructor had never met someone as stubborn and disobedient as Maisie was, so he stood up in anger. “Maisie, don’t push your luck! This is a training
