Maisie smiled awkwardly.‘This girl is so simple-minded that she’s adorable.’At this time, a female staff member knocked on the door in a panic, came in, and reported, “Ms. Zora, a menacing couple is creating a stir outside, looking for you!”“Looking for me?” Maisie was flustered, then got up and followed her out to take a look, while Cherie followed behind them.“Get the one who’s in charge of this place out here, did you hear me!?” The woman and man clamoring outside were both in their 40s and 50s, respectively. Although they did not look filthy rich, they seemed well-off.Maisie stepped forward and asked, “Are the two of you looking for me?”The woman took a glance at her and responded, “We’re Wynona’s parents.”As soon as she said that, Maisie and Cherie’s expressions looked obviously surprised.Maisie smiled. “So it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Winters. Why don’t we go into a room for a chat?”“Hmph! There’s no need to go into a room to chat. We’ll talk about it here to
“Secondly, Wynona had used multiple means to persecute me in the training camp and even tried to frame me. I had already let these things slide.“And thirdly, the cause of Wynona’s death is very strange. The police are still investigating whether it was a suicide or a homicide case.“But if you want to push all the blame onto me, I can only ask you to hire a lawyer before you talk to me again. Of course, you may not get the result that you want if you bring the matter to court. And because this has nothing to do with me, I’m a victim just like the deceased. Thus, if this matter is being forced onto me, then I’ll definitely not take the blame without defending myself.“ Maisie spoke loudly, and everyone heard her clearly.‘She wouldn’t be so confident if she was really involved in this matter.’Mrs. Winters was obviously astonished and did not know what to say for a while.Mr. Winters comforted his wife in embarrassment, “Oh my, we still have to discuss the matter with them politely
“Why don’t you compensate me for emotional damage, then I’ll compensate for your loss?”“You—”Mrs. Winters chocked. Why was it so hard to deal with this person?“Nobody’s money fell from the sky. Everyone earned it. Do you think you could get money out of me from your daughter’s passing?”Maisie’s face darkened, and she didn’t sound courteous. “If you want trouble, go ahead, I’m not afraid, but I won’t be responsible for the consequences. Now that I’m being extorted, if I still keep quiet, people are going to think that they can walk over me. I’m not stupid.”She turned to Cherie and said, “Send them out.”Cherie nodded. “Sure.”Cherie walked to the two of them and said, “I’m sorry, please leave if you’re done making a scene so that you don’t feel humiliated.”She was worried about the two people and their dignity if they were shamed in public.The Winters couple wasn’t happy, but there was nothing they could say, so they left.Cherie walked them to the door and went back to
A lot of netizens went to Maisie’s Twitter to question her about his, but some of them thought that the couple was just trying to ride her fame. The hype of Maisie and Nolan getting registered was still recent, so the couple must have come out and accused Maisie of being behind their daughter’s death.“Do you think Ms. Vanderbilt really caused someone’s death?”“We shouldn’t come to conclusions so quickly. Didn’t you notice that any news about Ms. Vanderbilt would be proven false after a few days?”“What if it’s true this time?”A few employees were having a discussion when Maisie showed up. They had heard that Ms. Vanderbilt had slapped Ms. Summers because she ‘spread rumors’, and Mr. Goldmann had just let her do it. With that as a precedent, no one would dare say anything out of line anymore.Cherie followed Maisie and heard the discussion. “Don’t worry, Maisie. Mr. Goldmann said that he will take care of this.”Maisie turned to look at her and said in a whisper. “Cherie, I nee
“Someone is coming, let me go this one time—”Maisie ‘begged’ him gently, her beautiful face and pretty eyes mesmerizing.Nolan’s heart melted. How dare this woman start a fire and beg him to stop? No one could handle that.He took a deep breath and hugged her. “Don’t move, let me hug you.”Maisie didn’t dare to move because she knew that Nolan was holding himself back. If she moved, he might lose it. “Are you done?”There was only silence.“Nolan, can I tell you a joke? I promise that you’ll calm down.”She heard ‘OK’ from behind her, with a hint of curiosity in his voice. “A cube of sugar was walking toward the North Pole, and when it got there, it felt really cold and was frozen solid, so it became rock sugar.”Nolan was rendered speechless. The woman excitedly continued. “I have another one. A cabbage started to strip while it walked, and after a few steps, it disappeared!”Nolan immediately lowered his head and kissed her lips to stop her from talking. “Maisie, I
Now, their daughter was no longer around. She had wanted her to work with powerful people for a chance to get a high-paying job. Now all they had left of her were empty dreams.Maisie smiled. “How much do you want as compensation?”“At least $800,000.”Cherie almost lost her cool when she saw Mrs. Winters trying to take advantage of the situation. $800,000? She thought that $800 was too much!Maisie smiled. “Do you plan to come back and ask for more when you’re done spending that?”Mrs. Winters was stunned, as though Maisie had seen through her plan, and angrily said, “What are you trying to say? Are you going to give it or not?”“Cherie, what is the legal term for this?” Maisie didn't answer her but instead asked the person beside her.Cherie picked it up right away. “Extortion. The minimum sentence is three years, but if it’s for an amount as much as $800,000, I’m guessing maybe 15 years.”The two old people looked terrified. “How is this extortion? You’re just slandering u
Maisie looked at Cherie. “If they were really instigated, they wouldn’t dare step out of line.”If no one were instigating them, they wouldn’t know about Wynona and Maisie’s rivalry at the camp, nor would they dare think that she had caused Wynona’s death. Thus, the person behind them must be closely related to Wynona.At Blackgold…Nolan was on a call at his office desk. He looked at the file in his hand, and his eyes turned dark. “Keep your eyes on them. Also, look into Wynona’s parents. See who they have been in contact with recently.”The person said something, and Nolan ended the call. At the same moment, he received a text on his phone. [Mr. Goldmann, Maisie has settled it!]His eyes were a little less cold after reading Cherie’s text. His pretty little wife had settled the issue with the two old people, and it was time he helped her settle something else.The news about the accusation from the Winters was gone quickly. Even when people clicked on the links, it would
Nolan let out an evil smile, rendering Maisie speechless.After they had finished the meal, Maisie returned to the room to find that Nolan was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed next to the window, running his fingers over the document in his hand.“What is the thing that you want me to see?” Maisie approached him and sat beside him.Nolan handed the document to her and replied, “The thing that you want to know.”Maisie was stumped. She took over the document and glanced through it.The images on the document were photocopied. Although it was black in color, it could be seen clearly. Then, a photo from the security footage of a reflexology center caught her attention.The woman with heavy makeup was none other than Willow, and she was talking to three people in the picture.“This is… Willow?”“Yes. I had someone go to the Underground Freeway to retrieve the security footage. They were the ones who took Willow away,” Nolan replied flatly.Maisie looked at the three people
