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
Maisie was so exhausted that she did not know when or how Nolan had brought her to the washroom to take a shower.When Nolan put her back on the bed and was about to tuck her in the blanket, his phone on the desk vibrated.Nolan picked his phone up, and his gaze turned sharp.[Hans: The Winters have run into an accident. Mrs. Winters died on the spot from serious injuries while Mr. Winters was admitted to the ICU. The doctors are working hard to keep him from dying.][Nolan: Send someone to man the perimeter of the hospital in case some people want to get rid of him. Also, don't tell Cherie about this matter first.]Nolan put his phone down and turned around to look at Maisie, who was fast asleep.He did not want her to get the wrong impression that she was the one who had brought this disaster to the Winters.After putting on his clothes, he left the room quietly.In the hospital…“Mr. Goldmann, you’re here.” Hans hastily approached Nolan when he saw him. “I’ve already sent s
That being said, Maisie still felt sorry for Nolan.She stroked the back of his hand, lowered her eyes, and said, “Nolan, no matter what happens in the future, I’ll not leave your side. Unless…”‘Unless what?’Well, she hadn’t thought of that yet.She did not know why she would say something like this all of a sudden. Perhaps, it was because Nolan had tolerated everything of hers? She couldn’t tell. In the past, she had been under the impression that Nolan was only a passerby in her life, and perhaps he was only doing it for the sake of the three kids.However, after spending so much time with him, she realized that Nolan was the one who had contributed the most to their relationship. A smile appeared on the tip of Nolan’s lips as a surge of gentleness rose from the depth of his eyes.“It took so much effort and time to get you to my side, so how is there any possibility I will push you away? There's really no way you can leave me either. Unless, of course, I die.”There was
Nolan walked up to Maisie and saw that she was sitting on her knees in front of her mother's tombstone with a gloomy look on her face. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at the tombstone.“Don't worry, Mom. From now onward, I'll take care of Zee for the rest of her life until death do us part.”Maisie lifted her head and looked at him in surprise, but Nolan just raised his eyebrows as a response.Nolan helped Maisie to her feet, and Maisie spun around to face Stephen. “Dad, do you have anything to say to Mom?”Stephen was stumped for a moment. His lowered face was filled with the scars of the vicissitudes of life. He looked at the tombstone for a while before smiling bitterly. “Nope. I've already told her everything I want to say in my heart.”…By the time Maisie returned to her studio, she saw that Cherie was pacing nervously in the corridor. She walked up to her and asked, “What’s wrong?”When Cherie saw her, she became even more flustered and said, “The cops hav
Golden Lounge…There were hardly any people in the lounge during the day, and only a few tables of customers were dining.Maisie followed the waiter and came to the table where Erwin was waiting for her.“Uncle Erwin.”Erwin was holding a bottle of limited edition Conti in his hand while checking the production dare. When he saw Maisie, he put the wine back into the gift box. “Maisie, you’ve come.”After Maisie took her seat, she glanced at the wine beside him and asked, “Is it a gift from someone else?”Erwin chuckled and replied, “Yeah. It's a gift from an old friend of mine who just came back from overseas. He just left not long ago.”After that, he lifted his head and looked at Maisie. “So, what brings you here today?”Resting her head on her hands, Maisie replied, “I’m here to thank you for your help.”Erwin smirked. He ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter and pushed the wine aside. “Alright, don’t beat around the bush. Tell me what you want.”Maisie put her hands d
In the night, at Blue Bay villa…Maisie made dinner, and for a moment, she was lost in the conversation that she had had with Erwin in the afternoon. Soon, she recovered from the trance and realized that she did not see Nolan come downstairs. Thus, Maisie went to the study and heard Nolan’s voice when she was about to knock on the door.“An engine failure caused it? Are you sure?”Maisie’s raised hand was retracted slowly.‘What engine failure is he talking about?’“Mr. Winters hasn’t woken up yet?“Okay, I got it.“You should cooperate with the police’s investigation first to see if the couple had contacted anyone before the accident or if there was any trace of money transfer in their bank account.“Nolan ended the call, turned his head, and saw Maisie pushing the door to come in. Seeing Maisie’s expression, he slowly opened his tightly pursed lips. “Zee, you—”“I heard it all,” Maisie interrupted him calmly. “Has that couple run into an accident?”Nolan walked up to her, g
“They won’t leave anyone alive.” Nolan looked at her. “Do you want to lure the culprit out from behind the curtain?”Maisie smiled slowly. “Are you confident?”Maisie felt the warmth of his palm on her waist and watched as he lowered his gaze and chuckled. “It’s worth a try.”At the administration department…Several employees who ordered takeout gathered around to gossip in the break room. “Have you heard that the couple who caused Mrs. Goldmann trouble a few days ago has died in a car accident?”“Of course. I heard the employees on the 16th floor say that the couple was shameless enough to blame Mrs. Goldmann for their daughter’s death and asked Mrs. Goldmann for compensation.”“Yeah, it was clarified a few days ago. I feel that Mrs. Goldmann had been inexplicably wronged. What is that woman’s name, Wynona, right?”Rowena happened to hear the conversation inside when she passed by the break room, and her footsteps froze in place when she heard the name “Wynona”.She peeped in
Maisie placed her hand on Nolan’s shoulder. “Is Quincy ready now?”Nolan raised his eyebrows. “What do you think?”That night…No one was guarding outside the ICU ward of the hospital.When the nurse on duty was doing her rounds, she saw a doctor walking by and greeted him.The doctor nodded at her and walked toward the ICU ward.When he arrived at the door of the ward and saw the nurse walking away, he pushed the door open and entered. He then saw the person lying on the bed through the faint light from outside the ward, walked up to the bed, and took a bottle and syringe out of his pocket.He pricked the needle into the infusion bag, and just as he was about to squeeze the syringe and let the liquid inside seep into the bag, the light of the ward was turned on abruptly. He turned his head instantly, and Cherie had already punched him to the ground.Quincy asked the bodyguards behind her to subdue him on the ground and tore off his face mask.The man looked sulky as he glared
