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
Hadn't she deliberately been stalling so that Titus would run into her and Hernandez? Nolan seemed to be mulling over what she had just said. Resting her chin on her hand, Maisie continued. “If it really is her man, then she could've asked them to get rid of me. Could it be that she's just keeping an eye on me?”Nolan stood up and turned his eyes around. “It seems like she has taken advantage of the people around her.”“People around her? But nobody else knows that I went to SS Restaurant other than you and…”Someone popped in her head, and she gasped. Nolan sneered. “I guess it’s time to teach her that not everyone in this world is good.”The next day…Nolan summoned Cherie to the administrative office. Scratching her head, she walked into Nolan’s office. After taking a look at Quincy, she asked, “Are you looking for me, Mr. Goldmann?”“The day I asked you to go to pick Zee up at SS Restaurant, did you tell anyone else about it?” Nolan asked without raising his head as he fl
Rowena walked toward the table with a cup of coffee in her hand and placed it on the table. Seeing that Titus had been cold to her recently, she knew that he was holding a grudge against her after that night Nolan had nearly gotten into an “accident.”She bit her lips and said in a pitiful manner, “Grandpa, I already found out who wanted to harm Nolan. It’s Stone.”Titus was stunned. He put the newspaper down and raised his head to look at her, his face gloomy. “Stone? The guy I sent you?”Titus was familiar with Stone. Stone was responsible for giving assessments to those who wanted to join the Night Banquet. He had been working together with Hans in the Night Banquet. It was just that Titus had asked him to assist Rowena afterward. Rowena took a seat next to him and explained, “Yes, it’s him. Grandpa, I really had no idea that Stone would do something like that.”“You didn’t know?” Titus put the newspaper on the table. “He takes orders from you. If you hadn't abetted him, how w
Cherie no longer cared about how she felt.Rowena’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, “Cherie, what are you talking about? Did someone tell you something? I really don’t know—”“You’re still trying to pretend? That person confessed that you’re the one who did it before he died. Wynona and her parents were all murdered by you!”Cherie’s words made Titus’ expression turn gloomy as he glared at Rowena.Rowena’s face was cold and stern. “Cherie, do you know that you’re slandering me by saying this? Wynona and the Winters’ matter has nothing to do with me!”“Well, if this matter is a slander to you, then the fact that Mr. Goldmann almost got into a car accident that night isn’t a slander now, am I right?”Cherie glanced at her and asked, “You asked Stone to do that, didn’t you? Stone is one of your men!”Rowena clenched her hands tightly. “Yes, it was Stone’s doing. I just told Grandpa that Stone did that secretly behind my back and against my will! I don’t even know
Nicholas picked up the teacup, took a sip out of it, and chuckled. “You don’t know?”He then put down the teacup and said calmly, “That’s because both Stone and this man are dead, and they can’t be here to prove that this matter is related to you already, right?”Rowena trembled.Nicholas then said to Hans, “Go and bring that man in.”‘That man? Who’s that?’Rowena stopped breathing for a split second, and her cheeks gradually turned bloodless.After a while, Hans brought in Instructor Leach, who was still weak from the injury.Seeing Instructor Leach, Rowena completely panicked.‘He’s still alive! Stone actually didn’t manage to kill him!’Nicholas looked at Instructor Leach. “Tell us everything.”Instructor Leach did not want to betray Rowena at first, but he no longer cared when he learned that his brother had died, “Mr. Goldmann Sr., Elder Master Goldmann, Ms. Summers is indeed the mastermind. When Wynona died, Ms. Summers used my brother’s life to force me into helping h
“Grandpa, you must know that I love Nolan. Everything that I do, I do for Nolan!”Titus flung her hands off his trousers. “You did everything for Nolan? You actually ignored Nolan’s wellbeing and life, and you still have the guts to say that you’re doing all these for him?”Rowena’s pupils constricted. “No, I really didn’t do that! I admit, and I’m behind Wynona’s death, but what happened to Nolan was all on Stone. I really don’t know anything about that!”Titus did not even look at her crying face. “I wanted to believe in you originally, and I did tell you that I can protect you, but what you’ve done has exceeded my bottom line. Not to mention that Nolan is still my grandson.”Titus looked coldly at her as she said so and knelt on the floor. “You can even do something like committing murder, so what else can’t you do? And how can you make me believe that you’re innocent?”‘Even though what happened that night had nothing to do with her, what she did this time around is not just a
