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
It seemed that Mr. Winters was talking to himself.Maisie’s eyes drooped slightly as she pursed her lips. “Are you feeling better?”“What’s the use of recovering?” Mr. Winters scoffed at himself. “Both my wife and daughter are now gone, so why am I still alive?”Mr. Winters could not accept the reality.In fact, no one should be able to accept this.Maisie’s eyes drooped once again. “You should understand deep down why and how these things happened.”Mr. Winters was startled. He then lowered his head bleakly, feeling a little ashamed. “Yes, I admit, we shouldn’t have been greedy.”He thought of something and continued. “Actually, my wife and I were devastated when we received the news of our daughter’s death. When we went to the training camp to inquire and found out that our daughter had committed suicide, it was really hard for us to keep ourselves calm. The training camp did compensate us, saying that we should stay in the Grand Hotel of Bassburgh and wait for Wynnie’s autops
“Madam Nera, you’re here.” Maisie smiled and stepped forward to welcome her.Madam Nera gave off a kind smile. “I heard that your company is officially open now, so I definitely had to come over to support you.”Maisie approached her and half-squatted so the old lady did not have to look up to talk to her out of courtesy and respect. “Then my business will definitely skyrocket with your support. I’m afraid that all my fellow jewelry company owners in the entire Bassburgh would be jealous of me, wouldn’t they?”Madam Nera smiled brightly. “You, you do know how to praise an old woman.”Maisie pushed her to the VIP room in her wheelchair and poured a cup of tea for her. “Madam, how’s your health recently?”“Don’t worry, it’s more than just fine.” Madam Nera picked up the teacup and blew at the vapor on the surface of the tea. “It’s been quite some time since we last met, I thought you had forgotten about me.”Maisie grinned. “How is that possible? I’ll forget about everyone else fir
Maisie was amused.‘It seems that Nolan is right. Grandfather spared Rowena for the sake of the Summers, but Father wouldn't accept it at all. This action will force Rowena into a corner and remove all possible comebacks that she could’ve had.‘It’s either she lives off the grid for the rest of her life, or she’ll have to go to prison obediently.’In an alley, in an inconspicuous hotel…Rowena, who was hiding in the room, saw the news that the whole city was targeting her as a wanted person, and her face turned terrifyingly gloomy.‘The Goldmanns! Is it necessary to force me back to this point!? F*ck, I was set up by that b*tch and Nolan from the very beginning!‘Heh, since the Goldmanns are treating me so ruthlessly and not showing me any mercy, don’t blame me for what’s about to go their way!’Rowena picked up her cell phone and dialed a foreign number that she had not taken the initiative to call before this.After a while, the man’s scoff came from the other end of the phon
Maisie frowned. “I’m talking about those women!”Nolan chuckled. “Then are you saying that you don’t feel like that?”Maisie was rendered speechless and extremely annoyed. She pulled back the tuft of hair in his hand. “I’m starting to get tired of pouncing on you and would like to change to another man.”Nolan’s face became cold in an instant. “Who do you wish to pounce on then?”Maisie looked at Quincy deliberately.Quincy noticed something in the rearview mirror and was stunned. “Ms-Ms. Vanderbilt, I, I, I’m gay!”Quincy almost wanted to bite off his tongue after saying that.Maisie could not help but burst into laughter.Nolan raised his eyebrows while glancing at her helplessly. “Naughty.”Maisie was tossed around in bed again that night.Seeing that she was so tired that she had fallen asleep, Nolan felt a little angry and helpless. He leaned over and kissed her lips, nose, and forehead.‘She’s my precious wife, and I'll never let her get hurt anymore.’Nolan got up an
