Whether Hernandez’s words were a threat or a warning, they were not threatening enough to instill fear in Maisie.She said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Sir Hernandez. Even if the whole world becomes Nolan’s enemy, at least I won’t do so.”Maisie did not want to stay back for the meal, so she bid farewell to the two of them and walked out of the restaurant, where he met Rowena and Titus.Rowena did not seem to care about what had happened last night and glanced at Maisie with a cold smirk on her face. “What a coincidence, Ms. Vanderbilt. Did you meet someone here for a meal?”Maisie pursed her lips and gave off a smile. “Yeah, I’ve finished the meal, so I’ll take my leave first.”‘Titus is here, so I won’t be able to defend myself alone when Louis and Hernandez appear and with Rowena fanning the flames.’She nodded at Titus politely and was about to leave, but Rowena grabbed her arm. “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I’m here with Grandpa for brunch. As Grandpa’s granddaughter
“Okay.” Titus raised his hand to interrupt Maisie’s explanation impatiently as his eyes looked sullen. “Just remember what you said.”Titus then turned and stepped into the restaurant.When Rowena saw the dejection and unwillingness in Maisie’s eyes, she approached her triumphantly. “Maisie, Grandpa is still partial to me, so stop wasting your time and efforts.”Maisie looked at her and chuckled. “Yeah, Ms. Summers. You try to sow discord everywhere you go to make Grandfather love you more. Since you want to stay in the Goldmanns so much, why don’t you change your name to Rowena Goldmann so that you and Nolan can be siblings officially?”Rowena’s expression changed, and she gnashed her teeth. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you’d better watch your complacency.”She then rammed into Maisie’s shoulder and quickly caught up to Titus.Maisie walked out of SS Tower and saw Cherie was already sitting in the car, waiting for her. She got into the car and closed the door roughly, giving off a loud s
Maisie knew that if this were to continue, the lustful spark crackling in him would turn into a forest fire.Although there was no one in the company at this time, she could not be sure about whether Kennedy would suddenly appear, so she quickly changed the subject. “Speaking of which, have you found out who that man is trying to protect?”Nolan raised his head, and his watery eyes turned gloomy as he replied, “It’s someone from the training camp.”“Someone from the training camp, could it be…”“You know the person.” Nolan lowered his head and gave her fair neck a peck.Maisie placed her arms on his shoulders and could not help but tighten her fingers. “Does the person have the same rank as Cherie and the others— Mmmh.”“Huh?” Nolan stopped what he was doing as if he was doing so deliberately and stared at her flushed cheeks that resembled a sunset.Maisie bit her lip, looked away awkwardly, and said, “Can you answer me properly!?”He smirked. “Then don’t make any noise. It’s v
The lights in the room were turned on.The man narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Quincy, who came in with a laptop.“I… I won’t give you sh*t.” Even though he was starving and could no longer bear the hunger, he still held on to his promise.Quincy replied, “I didn’t come here to get any information out of you.”The man was stunned, but he was so exhausted that he did not want to talk more.Quincy pulled a chair over, sat down, and placed a bottle of mineral water that he brought along by his feet. “It doesn’t matter if you want to disclose the information. After all, someone will speak up even if you don’t give us anything.”The man stared at the bottle of water, and his already pallid face turned completely bloodless. He felt like a fish that was about to die from thirst in a desert. His desire to get his hand on the water bottle was so intense that his throat hurt when he swallowed his saliva.Quincy turned on the laptop and turned the screen to him. “I wonder if this p
At the training camp…“Mr. Boucher, your little goddess left so long ago. Are you still thinking about her?”Francisco had just finished playing basketball with a few of his friends, and his body was still drenched in sweat. He was sitting on the bench drinking water while taking the ridicule of his friends head-on. He then waved at them. “Go away, stop making fun of me.”Someone stepped over the bench, sat beside him, picked up the water bottle at his feet, and unscrewed it. “You’ve been rather absent-minded ever since your little goddess left the training camp. You haven’t been playing with us very diligently either.”He took a sip and then asked faintly, “Have your soul left the training camp together with her?”Francisco let out a sigh. “My soul has left the camp your *ss! I’m trying to be serious now so that I can go home earlier.”The man did not believe it. “How can you still be a bully when you go home? Your parents will still keep an eye on you, won’t they? Isn’t life in
Nolan answered the phone. “Yes?”“Mr. Goldmann, Stone attacked Instructor Leach in the training camp, but thanks to Mr. Boucher, Instructor Leach is alright, but…”Nolan dropped the ashes of his cigarette into a can of Coke. A dark light crossed his eyes as he asked, "But what?" “When we were trying to intercept Stone at the junction, his car exploded. Stone is dead.”Nolan was stunned after he heard what Hans had said.He threw the butt of the cigarette into the can, releasing a slight hissing sound into the air. Then, he asked sternly, “Exploded? Did someone plant a bomb in his car?”Hans replied, “Yes. It seems like someone is trying to get rid of him.”Nolan gave a chortle and didn't say anything.Judging from the fact that Rowena would go to the extent of getting rid of her own man, she must have believed that Stone had betrayed her. Besides, he was certain that Rowena was going to kill Stone either way, even if he managed to get rid of Instructor Leach. “Did somethin
Nolan sent a text message to Quincy. After a while, Quincy found something and replied to him.Nolan threw his phone on the table and asked, “Is it this woman?”The man took a look at the phone and nodded.Maisie took the phone and looked at the female staff member.‘Isn’t she Meryl from the administrative department? What has she done to make Rowena send someone to kill her?’Maisie looked at Nolan and asked, “How did you know it’s her?”Nolan then replied flatly, “She has been absent from work for a few days, so it isn’t hard to get her information.”Meryl had not been coming to work and without giving any reason on top of that. None of her colleagues knew where she had been, and neither could they get through to her. Her stuff was still on her desk, and the administrative department manager had told Quincy about it. Therefore, Nolan knew she must be the one the man was talking about.The man added, “Stone killed her, and I was the one who got rid of her corpse. I brought her
Nolan grabbed her hand tightly, causing her to wince in pain. “Hey, it hurts. What’s going on? Can’t I even ask?”He chuckled. “There’s no reason. I just don’t like her.”Maisie retracted her hand and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “How about other girls? Have you never fallen in love with any woman before?”Nolan turned his eyes around and said, “Nope.”After that, he asked, “How about you? Have you ever fallen in love with any man before me?”Maisie thought for a while and replied with a smile, “Yes, there is one. I had a crush on my senior when I was in college.”When she saw that Nolan’s face had turned dark, she chuckled and added, “There were a lot of girls who had a crush on him. He was handsome and had good grades. I wasn't the only one. Besides, he didn’t even know me.”“So, you wish that he knew you?” Nolan said, his voice filled with jealousy.Maisie let out a laugh and replied, “Nope, nope. I already have you, the most handsome and successful man by my side
