“Since Nolan wants no one but you, I hope that no matter what happens, you will stay by his side forever.”Maisie was stunned. She did not know why but she had a feeling that Mr. Goldmann Sr. was entrusting his son's future to her. She forced herself to smile and replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Goldmann, I…” She took a look at Nolan, who sat “quietly and obediently” beside her before continuing. “I won’t leave him alone.”Nolan lifted his eyebrows slightly. Considering the fact that his father was so worried about the things between him and Maisie, he figured that he should treat him better next time.Nicholas nodded in satisfaction and replied, “Good, good, good. I’ll take care of his grandfather. As for you guys, just take your time and enjoy your life. I’m sure that his grandfather will accept you as well one day.”After they had finished speaking, Maisie gave the phone back to Nolan.Grinning like a Chesire cat, Nolan pulled her into his arms and said, “Did you hear that? My dad
Maisie finally saw the light right now. It was no wonder that no matter how much she earned, her three kids still said it wasn't enough.She was truly poor in comparison to a capitalist!Suddenly, Nolan’s phone rang. He pulled his phone out, and the person who called him was none other than his grandfather.He did not walk away to answer the phone. Instead, he picked up the phone in front of Maisie and said, “Yes?”Titus seemed to have said something, and his face turned grim. Nolan snorted coldly and replied, “Hah, so you're even meddling with people around me now? Where’s Quincy?”Titus replied, “I've sent Quincy on a field trip. What's the matter? Is Rowena not capable enough to fill in his place?”Nolan frowned slightly after he heard what Titus said.Titus had transferred Quincy away from him and arranged for Rowena to be his assistant. It seemed that Titus wanted to give Rowena a chance, and he did not like it at all. “Blackgold Group isn’t the Night Banquet. You don’t h
Larissa sat on the couch. She looked at Maisie and said, “Have a seat. You want to ask about your mother, right?”Maisie took the seat in front of Larissa after she got her permission. She indeed wanted to know more about her mother, so she nodded.“Marina is my biological sister, and I have to say, you look a lot like her,” Larissa said as she laughed at herself. If she had met Maisie earlier, perhaps she would not have believed Willow and even really thought Maisie was that kind of person.As if she thought of something, she asked again, “Did your mother tell you why she came to Zlokova?”Maisie shook her head.Larissa was confused when she saw Maisie shake her head. “She didn’t tell me either. Honestly, had it not been for Willow’s bracelet, I wouldn’t have known that she had come to Zlokova.”“You didn’t know either?” Maisie was stunned. ‘Even Larissa doesn't know why my mother came all the way to Zlokova to escape from the de Arma family?’“You don’t have to be so surprised
“But Maisie, I can only remind you that your life will be in danger at any time if you continue to stay with Nolan. Not because of anything, but because of the Goldmanns’ special bloodline.”…Ryleigh sat in the living room drinking fresh milk and waited for about 20 minutes, not knowing what her Aunt Larissa would say to Zee.Just as she took a sip of milk, she noticed a dark silhouette approaching. When she looked up, the corners of her curved lips sank instantly.The tall man looked at her condescendingly. “It’s you?”The man gave off a hint of disgust through his slanted eyes when he saw that there were still white milk stains on her lips.He thought that his mother was about to introduce some random woman to him back at home again, and that idea really scared him for good.“What makes you think that I want to come to your house? If it weren’t for Zee, I—” Ryleigh was about to say something when she heard footsteps coming downstairs. Soon, she saw Maisie’s figure, so she put
Ryleigh was stunned for a split second. It was obvious that Maisie’s issue completely overwhelmed her. “Okay, I really can’t understand it.”Maisie placed her hand on Ryleigh's shoulder and said with an intoxicating smile, “Ryleigh, I realize that you’re my only best friend. You didn’t give up on me, no matter how pretentious I was or how others framed me. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t helped me back then.”Ryleigh looked bewildered. “Are you drunk?”“Just how annoying can you be? Do I look like I’m drunk? I’m just feeling a little emotional.” Maisie placed her arms on Ryleigh’s shoulders. “I sometimes envy you. You have a father who’s always been protecting you so well since you were a little girl that he has raised you into such an innocent woman. Not to mention that no one would cause you any trouble for no reason. It’s actually quite nice to be able to be a carefree young lady.”‘At least, she won’t come across the problems that I face.’“Since when did you s
Rowena’s makeup looked very light and elegant today, and her dress looked grand. “Didn’t Nolan tell you anything?”Maisie paused for a split second. “What should he tell me about?”Rowena looked at her and explained, “I’m now Nolan’s assistant. Eh? Didn’t Nolan tell you about this?”Maisie chuckled and crossed her arms. “Oh, it turns out to be about this. I thought you were about to bring up a big deal.”‘She’s here to show off the second she becomes Nolan’s assistant?’“Ms. Vanderbilt, please don’t misunderstand us. After all, this is Grandpa’s arrangement. Grandpa wants me to learn more from Nolan, so I guess you wouldn’t mind this, right?” She mentioned the old man only to make it clear to Maisie that she was the person that Titus valued the most.‘As long as Grandpa still stands by my side, there’s no way that you’re taking a step into the Goldmanns!’Not knowing what Rowena was expecting from her, Maisie gave off a brilliant smile. “Why would I misunderstand the both of you
‘The two rugrats have mastered the skills of buttering someone up.’Kennedy nodded all of a sudden. “If that’s the case, Mr. Boucher is really doing his best in helping us to promote our products. Although we’re profiting from this association with him without any condition being named beforehand, we can’t just take advantage of him without expressing any appreciation.”“Yeah, I understand that.” Maisie smiled with her arms crossed. “I’ll see if I can treat Mr. Boucher to a meal or something when I’m free someday in the future.”Ordinary people would not even dare to think about buying Mr. Boucher a meal, but she could not take advantage of Mr. Boucher without doing anything in return. Thus, she could only repay his favor with a meal after giving it a good thought.When speaking of returning favors, Francisco from the training camp came to her mind too.‘It’s depressing to admit this, but how did I end up owing favors to both the Boucher heirs?’At noon, everyone had gone out for
Nolan stared at her with his tender gaze, feeling a sense of satisfaction deep down.‘I’ve “trained” my little wild cat well.’He pulled her fingers nearer to him and kissed them. His eyes were filled with hints of dangerous lust. “Would you still go to a bar in the future? Huh?”“No, I won’t go to one again.”“Really?”Maisie hauled his hand away from her and gave off a wrathful laugh. “Yes, can we eat now?”There was a knock on the door.Nolan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice sounded cold and indifferent. “Come in.”Rowena walked in with some documents and was about to say something, but a trace of abhorrence flashed across her eyes when she saw Maisie sitting beside Nolan with a table full of delicious lunch.“Is there something that demands my attention?” Nolan’s attitude toward her was still very cold.Rowena suppressed the resentment in her heart and forced a smile. “I’m here to inform you that the project meeting with Gleaming Mountain Inc. is about to start.”
