“Zee, stop…” Nolan was like a lion that was about to wake up from a hundred years' worth of hibernation, and his aura became terrifying.Nonetheless, Maisie still acted recklessly.Although the blood in his body was already boiling, he tried his best to suppress himself and keep everything under control. “You’ve picked up quite a few bad habits.”“All humans change.” Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck, and her scarlet lips hooked upward slightly. “How about begging me?”Nolan was helpless. He kissed her in a daze and let off a hoarse voice. “Okay, please.”The next day…Maisie had just finished putting on her makeup when someone knocked on the door all of a sudden.Cherie went to open the door for her and saw a waitress standing outside with a purple gift box in her hands. “This is what Mr. Goldmann asked me to deliver to this room.“Cherie accepted the gift box and thanked the waitress before she left.Maisie walked out of the room and saw the gift box in Cherie’s hands,
Maisie could not help but tightly clench her hands hanging on her sides. When she turned back again, the Prussian blue figure had already walked away.‘Wish me good luck? What does he mean by that?’Maisie sat in the row behind Madam Nera. She turned her head subconsciously out of the blue and saw an extremely familiar woman. However, the woman hurriedly turned around and disappeared into the crowd after they managed to exchange gazes.Maisie was shocked.‘I caught a good glimpse of her. Is that woman Rowena?‘But how is this possible? Rowena is in Stoslo?’Thinking of something, Maisie got up and walked backstage.When Daniel saw Maisie entering backstage, the corners of his lips twitched coldly.Maisie lifted her dress slightly and exited the empty and spacious corridor, and in the blink of an eye, no one was there.‘Why is Rowena here?’She wanted to know as she had an ill omen.“Miss, are you looking for someone?” A man in black suddenly appeared behind her.Maisie turn
Maisie took a deep breath.At that moment, her face could not help but turn pale. “Rowena, are you not afraid that Grandfather and Nolan will know what you did here?”Rowena let go of her, walked aside, and sneered. “Does it matter whether they’ll know about this?”She stood up and turned her head to look at her again. “Anyway, he won’t know that I did it, and you have no chance to tell him.”Two people in protective suits stepped forward as if they were preparing for something. Maisie resisted, and the fear gradually spread at the bottom of her heart.‘Am I really going to die this time?‘No, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to leave the children behind. I don’t want to leave Nolan behind either!’She was so terrified that even her pores trembled, and her blood seemed to be stagnant. Unexpectedly, when the people in protective clothing were about to take off her clothes, a gunshot came from outside and made them panic instantly.Just as Rowena reacted to the gunshot, the do
Maisie frowned, wondering how Daniel knew she was related to Nolan as the latter had never disclosed her identity in Stoslo!‘Could it be Rowena!?‘No wonder, no wonder Rowena would capture me.’Nolan’s chin was propped against the top of her head. His heart ached due to the fact that he did not even have the guts to tell her that it was a trap.He had clearly been aware that someone would make a move on Maisie, so the beading on the dress that he gave her had a micro-tracker embedded in it to prevent her from running into a trap. He did not expect that those people would succeed so quickly and that Rowena was working with them.“Daniel Kent.” Nolan’s eyes dimmed instantly as he asked the people out there. “Do you really think I would come out here without any backup plan?”Daniel was slightly flustered, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his dark pupils.Nolan glanced up at the abandoned buildings around them and snorted. “Why not take a look at the buildings around you?
Nolan walked in, pulled out a chair, and sat down, “Are you still not feeling well?”Maisie shook her head and asked, “Why did you come with Uncle Erwin?” Nolan’s eyes twitched. “I asked him to come over. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I told Erwin. I had to be ready.”“Nolan, be honest, were you in Stoslo because of your mother’s incident?” Maisie asked. Nolan paused and didn’t answer, but she guessed as much. She looked down, pressed her lips together, and slowly said, “I’m sorry I got you into this.”Nolan held her slightly cold hand. “I knew that it was a trap. They deliberately used my mother’s incident to lure me over because they wanted to eliminate the Goldmanns. I asked Erwin here because if anything happened to me, no one would dare touch you with him around.”Maisie’s heart hurt a little.He had known that it was a trap but still took the risk?Her eyes twitched. “Why do you want to look into your mother’s incident? Is it because…”Nolan lo
Maisie got up and slowly walked to him. “Can you tell me about them?”…“Ah!” Rowena collapsed on the floor covered in blood after being whipped. Her skin split open, each wound deep and shaking. She raised her head with dried lips to stare at the man vaping on the chair. “Mr. Kent— I-I really didn’t lie to you, I didn’t know how Maisie was related to the Metropolis.”Daniel let out a puff of smoke, his eyes piercing. “I tried so hard to get Nolan into my trap. I was so close to catching him.”Rowena’s lips and teeth were trembling. Daniel put down his leg, got up, and walked toward her with his long legs. He looked down at the woman who was lying on the floor in bad shape. “It’s all because of you. You messed up my plan because you didn’t check on that woman?”Rowena raised her hand to tug at his pants. “Mr. Kent, I’m sorry, give me another chance! I-I can fix this. I’ll do anything.”“Haha.” Daniel squatted down and grabbed her hair, tugging at her scalp. It hurt, but she d
The princess of Stoslo was respected by the people in Stoslo and was once known as the princess who was the most down-to-earth. She had a lot of influence and was great with business. King Miller had said that her ability to rule would not be lesser than his sons’.Unfortunately, this princess who loved her country and people had ‘fallen from grace’ because she fell in love with Patrick Goldmann, who didn’t have the same social standing. This ‘fall from grace’ had been the start of the internal conflict among the royals. The royal family was split into two groups. One group of nobles, including the current Kents, supported Prince Roger, the younger half-brother of the princess. They were known as the left-wing. The other group supported the princess. ‘The princess incident’ had been an internal conflict, and the relationship between Patrick and the princess had given the lefties a reason to oppose her ruling. After that, an epidemic had broken out, and the people’s love for th
Erwin looked at Maisie. “Hernandez probably thought the same. If he knew that Ms. Marina had a daughter, he would have taken you back. Hernandez isn’t dumb. He knows that the lefties may use you because of this relationship.”Maisie looked surprised, but she remembered what Hernandez had told her.“You're Marina's daughter, so I won't lay a hand on you even if I'm going to get revenge on the Goldmanns. However, I'm not sure about the others.”The others that he meant were the lefties.Something flashed across her mind after she was quiet for a while, and she looked straight at Erwin. “There’s one more thing.”Erwin looked curious, but he saw her calmly ask, “Was my mother’s infection related to the virus?”The air in the room froze.After a long time, Erwin lowered his face and quietly said, “Yes.”He looked out the window. “Her infection was due to a rare sleeper virus that was related to the epidemic from 30 years ago. Your mother was one of the infected.”“The epidemic 30 y
