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
