The female staff member shuddered in fear when she saw Maisie after she had finished speaking.“Ms… Ms. Vanderbilt…”“What are you guys talking about?” Maisie asked, grinning widely.The two women swallowed back the words on the tip of their tongues as embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces.“It’s okay. I won’t get mad at you two. I just want to know who told you about these,” Maisie said slowly.After realizing that Maisie was not mad with them, one of the female staff members opened her mouth and stammered, “We… We heard it from the administrative office above. They… They said that you refused to let Mr. Goldmann attend the meeting yesterday.”Squinting her eyes, Maisie repeated, “The people from the administrative office?”The female staff member nodded. She suddenly thought of something and continued fretfully. “It seems like Ms. Summers said something to them, and then…”Understanding instantly dawned upon Maisie.“Alright, thank you,” she said, nodding while bea
“You…” Rowena clenched her fists tightly as she stared at Maisie. Her eyes turned scarlet with hatred.The rest of the people in the office fell silent. Truth be told, Quincy was the one who settled most of the matters in the company, and Nolan indeed had entrusted many jobs to him.However, after Quincy had been transferred to another position and Rowena had replaced him as Nolan’s secretary, they did not know why but Nolan had become busier.Nolan was their employer, meaning he had hired them as his workers. When he couldn’t attend a certain meeting, Rowena needed to host the meeting as his secretary.It was only now they realized that Rowena had misled them. They also had realized that Maisie was not a pushover. They all heaved out a sigh of relief, for they weren’t the ones who had gotten beaten by Maisie.Keeping the smile on her face, Maisie said, “Ms. Summers, if you think you can’t handle your job effectively, maybe we can have Quincy swap with you. After all, Quincy is mu
Nolan’s lips were tightly pressed. It was indeed Rowena who had brought him the photo that time.‘So that photo was taken by Wynona?’ he asked himself.“Nolan,” Maisie called, pulling him out of his thoughts.“Yes?”“What happened?” she asked, staring at him straight with her clear eyes as she was surprised that he would get distracted.She then thought of something and said with a frown, “You didn't have someone keeping an eye on me secretly, did you?”Nolan stroked her cheek with his hand and replied, “Cherie and Hans would inform me of anything that happened to you at the training camp. However, Rowena was the one who told me about that thing about you and Francisco.”‘Rowena?’Maisie lowered her eyes.‘So Wynona was Rowena’s “spy” in the training camp?’ Maisie realized why Rowena had worn the ring and had come to find her. It turned out that Rowena had wanted to cause a misunderstanding between Maisie and Nolan because of the things that happened between her and Francisc
Nolan stroked her face. The things that Willow had confessed proved that his previous speculation was correct.His grandfather had learned of the relationship between Maisie and the de Arma family as soon as Maisie returned from the training camp. Both his father and he had done a lot to keep this secret hidden. Even Stephen and the others didn't know a single thing about it, other than Willow, who had tried to replace Maisie as the descendant of the de Arma family.With that thought in mind, Nolan looked at her and said, “I'll send Cherie to you starting from tomorrow, just in case. You can ask her to help you with anything. As for the kids, they should be fine with my father and grandfather looking over them. The only person I'm worried about is you.”A surge of warmth spread through Maisie’s heart. She could see that Nolan was truly worried about her.She grabbed his hand and put it near her face. While Nolan was slightly taken aback, she giggled and said, “As long as you’re wit
Hernandez snorted and asked, “Why can't I look for him? I'm his great-grandfather.”Louis set his jaw tight and did not say anything. Although his mother had told his grandfather that she had found his aunt's daughter, all of them had been under the impression it was Willow.However, they later found out that his aunt's daughter was Maisie, but she had married Nolan at that time. Also, he did not know how his grandfather had realized that Colton was Maisie’s son.Blinking his eyes, Colton asked, “You’re my great-grandfather?”Hernandez looked at him and replied, “I’m your mother’s grandfather, so of course, I’m your great-grandfather.”Colton frowned and said, “But my mom has never told us about you.”“I’m sorry, ma’am. This restaurant has been booked, you can't go in—”“Get out of my way.”Maisie pushed the waiter away. She was worried about Colton, so she had decided to throw caution to the wind.Just when Hernandez’s bodyguards were about to approach her, Colton saw her and
Maisie did not even jitter for a split second. “I believe in Nolan.”When Maisie was bringing Colton away, she thought of something, turned around, and said, “I know about Nolan’s mother. I won’t be able to forgive the de Armas if you really did such a thing.”Maisie left with Colton after saying that.Sitting in his seat, Louis looked expressionless. He said while glancing at Hernandez’s face that looked a little embarrassed, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else that needs my attention, I’ll go back first.”“Did you text her to inform her?” Hernandez asked coldly.Louis nodded. “Yes, I didn’t know your intentions when you were searching for that child. Not to mention that Mother has said that we should keep the past in the past. Why are you still so obsessed with it?”Hernandez slammed the table and reprimanded angrily, “The Goldmanns should never be kept in the past. All of them deserve to die!”Louis could see that Hernandez could not let go of his prejudice against the Goldmann
Maisie met his smiling eyes and played along. “Since my husband wants to stay for dinner, then we’ll just stay back for a meal.”The three rugrats could not help but feel bothered.‘Eww, that’s disgusting!’During dinner, the maid stood by them and served the dishes.Nolan had never come back for dinner ever since he moved out, so tonight was the first time he came back for a meal.The three rascals sat beside their parents and gobbled up their food as if a three Michelin-starred restaurant chef had prepared the dinner.Titus could see that the kids had not been so diligent while eating their food during normal days.‘Sure enough, they’re very happy when their parents are around.’“Ahem, since you’ve come back, you should just move back in,” Titus suggested.Nolan raised his eyes and then said lightly, “It’s inconvenient, as we’re planning to conceive another child.”Maisie’s hands trembled, and she stared at him in surprise.Not to mention her, even Titus was surprised. “Yo
“Yeah, this little fella digs holes in the dirt of the flowerbed outside every day, making himself dirty. Hence, I can only give him a bath every three or five times.”“Woof!” Reddy stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, staring at Maisie with its brown eyes as if it liked her very much.Stephen put down his teacup and said, “This fella was abandoned by its original owner. I saw it wandering on the road pitifully and brought it back.“I brought it to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, and this little fella is in good health apart from some gastrointestinal discomfort, not any skin diseases. The original owner probably abandoned it because they couldn’t keep it.”Maisie rubbed the fur on its head.‘No wonder kids like it. This furry little cutie is really addicting.’“Zee, what brought you here all of a sudden?”Maisie put the dog down, walked up to the couch, and sat down. “The renovation of Vaenna is almost done, so I’m here to ask you. If you’re still willing to take
