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
“I had dinner with Sir Hernandez that day, and he told me that it was your father who cut his leg and killed his father. I wish to know whether this is true.”‘If Grandfather’s answer supports that fact, then who’s right and who’s wrong when it comes to the grievances between the de Armas and the Goldmanns?’However, to her surprise, Titus seemed exasperated when he heard what she said. “Did that geezer tell you that?”Maisie did not deny it.Titus snorted, and his face became sullen abruptly. “Hernandez is quite capable when it comes to slandering others, huh? My father did use Hernandez to threaten the de Armas back then, but he never touched Hernandez, let alone hurt him. As for how he lost his leg, the Goldmanns have nothing to do with that matter.”Maisie was a little surprised. “So it’s a no?”Titus would not allow others to defame his father. “Nonsense, my father indeed hated the hypocrisy of the royals a lot, but how could it be possible for him to do something to a kid?
Maisie asked softly, “When are you departing?”Nolan stared at her lovingly and whispered, “Tomorrow.”He then lifted his eyebrows slightly. “Do you still plan to cling to me?”Maisie pursed her lips and did not utter a single word, but this reaction looked very enchanting to Nolan, and he gazed at her with an obsessed expression.Holding her waist, he turned over and changed positions with her.“Nolan, you haven’t even told me where you’re going.” Maisie struggled by hitting and kicking him, but her arms were clasped by one of his.The next day…A ray of sunlight seeped into the room through the gap in between the curtains.Maisie was awakened by the beam, turned over, and habitually stretched out her arm to hug the person beside him, but the person was not beside her.She sat up only to find that the space next to her had cooled down long ago.Maisie walked downstairs, and there was breakfast on the table as usual. No one was there, only a note that was pressed under the gl
Cherie was astonished. “Oh, but does Mr. Goldmann know about this?”Maisie dragged the suitcase to the front of the car. “He doesn’t know, that’s why I plan to give him a surprise.”At 11:50 p.m., the flight to Zena took off on time. The flight would take about ten hours, and it was expected to arrive at 10:00 a.m. the next day.When Maisie woke up during the long flight, the sky outside the window was already fully lit, and a thick layer of white cumulus clouds could be seen below the flight.At 10:00 a.m. sharp, the plane had already lowered its altitude and flew over the cities of Stoslo. Looking down, the high-rise buildings that could be seen everywhere looked like Lego models.Those urban streets that were intertwined looked like the veins of the cities.The plane landed on the runway of Zena Airport 30 minutes later.“I’ve been on a plane all night, and my back and legs hurt.” Cherie dragged her luggage and followed Maisie around. It was the first time she had been on a p
“Yes, I’ve created my own jewelry brand. By the way,” Maise said and continued with an introduction, “This is my friend, Cherie.”Harry nodded at her with a smile. Cherie immediately returned a smile. Maisie continued her introduction. “Mr. Knowles is a shareholder of Luxella. He helped me when I was there.”She turned to Harry. “Mr. Knowles, have you eaten?”Harry nodded. “I just did. I was entertaining a VIP with Mr. Jones. By the way, that VIP is an entrepreneur from Zlokova who’s young and handsome.”Maisie could guess who he was referring to. Her eyes darted to a few people who were walking toward them from behind him. They were talking while walking, and the man leading the pack was wearing a meticulous suit, looking handsome and classy. When he looked up and saw someone familiar, surprise flashed across his calm eyes, which was then replaced by darkness.Quincy, who was behind him, saw Maisie too. He didn’t expect to see his sister there as well. What was happening?
Harry looked at her with surprise. “You’re married, Zora?”Maisie’s smile became broader. “Yes.”“Oh, is your husband in Zena? Let’s have some tea with him.” Harry wanted to know who was the man who was lucky enough to marry this beautiful and talented woman. Maisie pretended to sigh. “I want to, but I don’t know which woman my husband is meeting. I can’t get a hold of him.”Nolan, Cherie, and Quincy were rendered speechless. Everyone else, including Harry, felt sorry for her. “I’m sorry to hear that, but a beautiful woman like you would be able to find someone better.”Maisie smiled sweetly. “I hope so. Do you know anyone?”Harry smiled. “I might.”A dark cloud appeared over Nolan’s head. He smiled at the people next to him, gnashed his teeth, and said, “There’s something that I need to discuss with Ms. Vanderbilt. I have to skip dinner.”To everyone's surprise, he grabbed Maisie by the wrist after he said that and walked away. The door opened with a beep. Nolan entered wit
“You tell me first.” Sweat started forming along the man’s hairline. His eyes were locked on the woman for a while. This woman… was asking for it!After a long while, Nolan carried her into the bathroom to take care of her.Even when she was angry, Nolan helped her with her strap, seeing how delicate Maisie looked. His long fingers caressed her skin, making her make a funny face. He sniggered. “Are you really angry at me?”Maisie ignored him.Nolan looked at her, chuckled warmly, and said, “Do you plan to speak to me like this from now on?”He was helpless. “Aren’t you ashamed?”Maisie snatched the bathrobe back from him and stared at him. “It’s nothing compared to your thick skin.”Nolan got up, put his hands on the dresser with her between his arms, and smiled drily. “Alright, Zee, I’m sorry.”Maisie stared at him. “I’m going to shower, get out.”Nolan nodded and stood up straight. “Okay, I’ll wait for you outside.”After Maisie was done with her shower, she changed back
