Maisie put the tablet down. She was going to make use of the result of Louis being their spokesperson to prove Irene and the public that they were wrong. …By the time Maisie got home, she saw that Stephen was preparing dinner for the kids while Waylon, the little adult, was helping him in the kitchen.Daisie and Colton were playing games on the couch. When they saw her, Daisie put the gamepad down and greeted, “Mommy, welcome home. Have you finished with work?”“Yeah, I’ve finished with work,” Maisie replied as she took off her shoe.Reddy was lying next to them. Perhaps it was exhausted from playing with the kids as it soon closed its eyes and went back to sleep after taking a look at Maisie.While Stephen was setting up the table, he said to the kids, “Dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and come eat.”“Alrighty!” Colton and Daisie put the gamepads down, got up to their feet, and went to wash their hands.Reddy made a stretch and hopped down from the couch. It immediately
The kids felt Stephen was right. Besides, if their parents were really having a fight, then Nolan wouldn’t have come here to have dinner with them.The kids decided to stay for a night after they finished their dinner. Stephen brought the kids back to their rooms to tell them bedtime stories. At the same time, he wanted to leave some personal space for Maisie and Nolan. Maisie was cleaning the table and doing the dishes in the kitchen while Nolan watched on. He clenched his fists multiple times, and then he walked into the kitchen.He rolled his sleeves up and said, “Let me help you.”Maisie was stunned. Before she could make any response, Nolan had taken the plate in her hand away.Maisie remained standing, frozen stiff on the spot. She said with her head lowered, “Are you doing this for the kids?”His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he replied, “Yeah.”Maisie broke into laughter. “How long do you think we can keep this up?”Nolan froze, but he did not say anything.Biting
Several reporters suddenly appeared in front of Maisie to interview her. “Ms. Zora, may I ask if the replacement of Soul Jewelry’s spokesperson is happening because Irene Linwood isn’t famous enough?”“Can you explain what’s the reason behind Soul Jewelry’s unilateral breach of contract and its decision to collaborate with another spokesperson?”The camera was almost shoved into Maisie’s face while the fans on the side shouted, “Soul Jewelry is just another snobby brand that looks down on others! Get your sorry *ss out of Bassburgh!”“A trash brand like Soul isn’t worthy of our Irene!”Maisie’s eyes dimmed as she looked at the camera. She then sneered. “Did you not hear what her fans just said? A brand like us is indeed not worthy of an artist like Irene.”The reporters were rendered speechless. They thought she would have an explanation for the situation and did not expect her attitude to be so rigid.‘She isn’t afraid of being torn apart by Irene’s fans, is she?’Irene’s fans
‘Cherie, a young lady who loves money as much as her life would actually say that she doesn’t want a salary?’Kennedy came over. “Zee, Mr. Lucas’ endorsement video has been released.”Maisie nodded as her gaze turned sharp. “Alright, let’s wait for Irene to embarrass herself now.”#Soul’s Spokesperson: Louis Lucas##Irene Linwood was a No-Show and was Reprimanded for Being a Poser#Soul Jewelry instantly caused a sensation among netizens after its official account released Louis’ endorsement video on YouTube and other social media platforms. Many netizens thought that if Soul could invite Louis Lucas, the Prince of Violin, and had the balls to replace Irene, it was obvious that Irene had really out-posed herself and had managed to provoke Soul Jewelry.Just as the netizens expressed their different opinions and defended their respective views, Irene’s fans were still whitewashing Irene. They even released a video in which Maisie mentioned that Irene was unworthy to make things wo
Nolan placed the tablet down, opened the drawer, and looked at the divorce papers.There was a knock on the door. Nolan closed the drawer as Quincy walked in. “Sir, Mr. Hernandez de Armas wishes to meet you.”Nolan paused, lowered his gaze, and said nonchalantly, “Let him in.”Quincy went out to report for a short moment before Hernandez entered the office and sat on the couch by himself.Nolan got up and walked to the couch while Quincy poured some tea and then exited the room and closed the door.“Mr. de Armas, is there anything that requires my attention?”Hernandez raised his head, took a glance at him, and said with a lukewarm tone, “Yes.”Hernandez continued coldly after Nolan sat down. “I know what happened to you and Maisie in Stoslo, and I can understand what Maisie told me the other day now.”Nolan frowned. “What did Zee tell you?”Hernandez looked calmly and straight at him, his expression one of disapproval. “You should be thankful that my granddaughter has a thing
“Back then, the Kents were still my allies. They gave me a vial and told me that it was a vaccine that could resist the virus infection. So because I trusted in the Kents and how much I worried about my daughter’s wellbeing, I bought it with a lot of money. I then injected the vaccine into my daughter.“Hernandez clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “I didn’t expect my daughter to be still infected by the virus. It’s no wonder she would suddenly leave the de Armas a year later and travel to Morwich with Strix. Those people actually lied to me for decades!“As for that vial, it was not the vaccine at all but a prototype of the virus, and they lied to me so that I would use my daughter for the experiment!“The atmosphere in the office remained silent for a moment while Nolan poured himself a cup of tea and then asked slowly, “Is the virus part of their experiment?”‘Erwin told me in Stoslo that my infection is only the first step.’Hernandez’s emotional breakdown was caused upo
Nolan clasped his hands that were placed in front of him tightly before opening his pursed lips slightly. “They’re still experimenting with it.”Hernandez was stunned and then asked, “How did you know about that?”“Because I’ve been infected.” His indifferent gaze landed on the teacup. “There’s no incubation period this time around. It’s a new virus.”“Does Maisie know about this?”“She doesn’t know.”Hernandez was shocked and did not speak for a long time.Nolan stared at him. “Zee’s mother was infected with the virus. She must have taken something to counter it after that, which is why Zee isn’t showing any signs of infection. Not to mention that her blood is very special.”Hernandez took a deep breath picked up the teacup but did not drink from it.Nolan then said nonchalantly, “I’ll divorce Maisie.”Hernandez glanced at Nolan for quite a while. Judging from what he just saw, he could see that Nolan really cared about his granddaughter. He then put down the teacup. “I see.”
In the evening, Maisie went to pick up Ryleigh.Ryleigh was wearing a suspender skirt and had a pair of ponytails, looking pure and energetic. She got into the car and fastened her seat belt. “Why would you think of asking me out for a drink all of a sudden?”Maisie had already started the car and departed. She only gave off a depressing smile. “I’m in a bad mood.”“You and Nolan, did you quarrel or what?” Ryleigh sensed her emotions. “Wasn’t everything fine between the two of you before you went to Stoslo?”Maisie’s eyelashes twitched, but she could not bear to utter the sentence “we’re going through a divorce” in the end.She did not say it, maybe because she wanted to maintain the marriage in front of others, even if she was only lying to herself for a short moment.When they came to a bar, both of them ordered a cocktail respectively. Ryleigh stirred the drink with a straw and turned to look at her. “Zee, are you okay?”Maisie paused for a split second but then changed the s
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
