If this was the past, Nolan would probably be a useless king! And that useless son of his, the father-and-son duo were the same. They even worked together to rebel!Rowena advised in a low voice, “Don’t be angry, Grandpa. I think the problem is Ms. Vanderbilt instead of Nolan.”“What do you mean?” Titus asked. Rowena pouted. “Grandpa, if I told you, Nolan would say that I was complaining to you.”“Don’t worry, I’m on your side. Just say it as it is.” Titus showed that he would support her. That made Rowena slowly say, “Ms. Vanderbilt kept bothering Nolan and wanted him to bring her to the meeting. And her attitude toward me was horrendous. She probably thinks that I’m a threat to her.“She targeted me at the camp for no reason. On the day of her assessment, Nolan suddenly went to the camp with me. I think she probably told him something, and that was why he didn’t trust me.”She was trying to paint Maisie as the troublemaker, and if it weren’t for her, Nolan wouldn't be so rec
Cherie shook her head. “No. The people who saw Wynona all said that she was fine. No one knew how she got hold of the knife.”“Was no one guarding?”“No.”Maisie had her answer, so she fell deep in thought. Someone could have entered the interrogation room to see her without a guard. Seeing that she was still concerned about Wynona, Cherie smiled and said, “Alright, Maisie, no need to be concerned about that. We’ll look into it.”After Cherie left, Maisie leaned back on her seat and picked up the crushed jade ring. Even though she thought that it had been ‘violated’ by Rowena, it was a present that Nolan had gotten for her, so she decided to restore it. In the evening, Maisie went to the underground garage. When she got in front of the car, a person suddenly walked close to her. She raised her hand but was immediately held down by her waist on top of the car. The man smiled. “Trying to ambush me?”Maisie relaxed when she saw that it was Nolan. “You’re the one who’s trying to a
Daisy’s eyes reddened, and she didn’t say anything. Colton hugged her to console her and stared at Titus. “We don’t want food from this woman.”To them, anyone who wanted to take their father away from their mother would be a bad woman.Even though Rowena was disappointed, she still looked gracious. “It’s alright, Grandpa, don’t blame the children.”This little girl would get what she deserved one day. Titus angrily slammed the table, his anger scaring everyone. “I’m not your grandpa nor your father. If they pampered you in the past, I’m going to change your bad attitude. Apologize to Aunt Rowena!”Colton and Daisy were obviously startled by his anger, but they were still stubborn and refused to apologize. Waylon angrily looked toward Titus. “We don’t need to apologize to her.”Mr. Cheshire almost had a heart attack when he heard that. How could this little child talk back to Titus?Titus was shocked. This child was extremely hostile, but he had to subdue these children.
Waylon was going to grow up into someone extraordinary. The smell of the spaghetti floated into his nostrils and made that old man hungry. Daisie noticed that and brought her plate over. With watery and innocent eyes, she said, “Great-grandpa, do you want some?”Titus paused. He had yelled at this child in the evening, but now she was willing to share her food?Titus still had to keep his pride, so he cleared his throat, turned his face away, and said, “Don’t think that I will forgive you just because you did this.”Daisie lowered her head and took her plate back, disappointed. “We know that you don’t love us.”The old man widened his eyes. “Who says I don’t love you—”“There’s some left in the pot if you want some. If not, it’s fine.” Waylon cut him off. Titus was rendered speechless. Had he grown too old? How could these three children walk over his ‘fierceness’?Forget it. There was no point arguing with children. Titus took a plate for himself. He wanted to try out Wa
She smiled and tried to get closer to him. “Waylon, didn’t you go out with your sister today?”Waylon coldly looked at her, and when he walked past her, he said in a disgusted tone, “Stop trying. Even if you try to put ideas in Great-grandpa’s head, you will never replace Mommy.”Rowena froze on the spot. She watched the little boy walk upstairs and was a little shocked. Putting aside the fierceness this little five-year-old had in his eyes, how would he know that she was putting ideas in Titus’ head?Her hands that were at her sides curled into fists. They were indeed from that woman’s womb—difficult, just like her!At that moment, she received a text from an unknown number. [Didn’t you say you were going to get me out of the Underground Freeway? I told you everything. When are you going to do what you promised?]Rowena knew immediately that the text was from Willow. Yes, she had forgotten that Willow was a ‘knife’ that she could use!…After Willow escaped with the help of a
Maisie knew that the three rugrats had no reason to lie, and she was fully aware that Rowena was a hypocrite. Since Titus trusted Rowena so much, it would be a piece of cake for her to sow discord between them. Before she could ask anything, Helios and his two assistants appeared outside of the door.Daisie rushed up to Helios and tugged at his hand. “Uncle Helios. Come and meet my mommy!”However, Helios had known about it a long time ago.He offered Daisie a smile and patted her head. He then looked at Maisie and asked, “I've kept you waiting, haven't I?”Maisie responded with a smile and said, “We just arrived not long ago as well.”After they took their seat, Daisie climbed into the seat beside Maisie. Her mother was all hers today, and she would help her brothers to eat their share. “I heard from Waylon that you've been taking care of both of them on the set, Mr. Boucher. I hope they didn't give you too much trouble.”Daisie puffed her cheek out and said, “I didn’t give
Maisie was stunned for a moment upon hearing what Helios had said. However, the scale soon dropped before her eyes, and she realized what he was talking about.Someone was hiding in the dark to take pictures of them.Therefore, she did not turn her head around. She walked to her car with Kennedy, and just as they expected, the scene of them parting ways was captured by the paparazzo in the dark. He looked at the few photos in his camera, licked his lips, and a triumphant smile crawled upon his lips. He was confident that these photos would cause a sensation across the town, and the editor-in-chief would praise him. When Maisie and Kennedy returned to Soul, she suddenly thought of something and said to Kennedy, “Uncle Kennedy, please keep an eye on the news for me these days.”“News? What for?”“Yes. When we parted ways with Helios, he warned me that there were paparazzi around. We were probably caught on camera.”Honestly, Maisie was not worried about what they would write abo
“Ouch, you’re hurting me, Nolan. Can’t you be more gentle!?”“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.”Rowena’s face turned dark. ‘How… How shameless of them to do that kind of thing in the office? Maisie, you truly are one seductive evil woman!’Driven by her rage, she pushed the door open, and then she was stunned. Maisie was sitting on the couch while Nolan was squatting in front of her, massaging her foot. Nolan turned his head to look at Rowena sternly and said, “Can't you knock?”Rowena’s expression changed, and she replied stiffly, “I’m sorry. I thought… I thought something happened here.”Maisie’s face turned red in embarrassment. ‘Thank goodness he didn’t do it for too long today. Or else, I might have to find a hole and bury myself in it.’“Even if something happened here, what has it got to do with you?” Nolan asked, his voice cold. “If you don’t have anything else, then get the hell out of here.”Rowena did not expect that Nolan would chase her away again. She bit her
