Quincy couldn’t put a finger on it, but he didn’t have a good impression of Willow. He felt that this weak-looking woman who knew nothing wasn’t good enough for Mr. Goldmann. If the woman from six years ago hadn’t been her, would Nolan have let her stay around for so long? “Nolan, Zee said that you gave her a new jewelry company. That’s not true, is it?”Nolan’s eyes dimmed. “She wasn’t happy in Vaenna, so she left and left the shares to you. Why? Are you not happy with that?”“I—” Willow broke out in cold sweat. Maisie was telling the truth!? Had Nolan really established a new jewelry company for her in exchange for giving up on the shares?B*llcrap!Willow would rather give up the shares of Vaenna!“Nolan, I can give Vaenna’s shares to Zee. Let her come back, alright? Vaenna was a company her mother founded. How could she just leave it?”Yes, that was right. If she could show that she was willing to give Vaenna’s shares back to Maisie, Nolan would feel sorry because she w
Helios stepped out of his office. “What’s happening?”He was surprised when his gaze fell on the children. Ryleigh let Daisie down, got up, and walked toward Helios. “These two are my niece and nephew. Royal Crown just signed them, so I brought them here to see you.”Waylon walked forward, holding Daisie’s hand. They bowed and said, “Hello, Uncle Helios.”Helios looked at them for a long time, squinting. These children’s faces…He half squatted to be at their eye level and patted Daisie’s head. “What are your names?”“I’m Daisie. This is my brother, Waylon,” Daisie answered, beaming. Helios looked at Ryleigh. “Since when did you get a niece and a nephew?”Ryleigh smiled while she scratched her face. “They’re my best friend’s kids. They call me ‘Godmother’, so they’re pretty much my niece and nephew.”Helios stood up straight. “Your best friend’s children?”“Yes.” Ryleigh laughed. “Come in.”Ryleigh walked to the kids and held their hands to walk into the office. Helios
Helios moved his eyes onto Waylon’s face. He couldn’t help but say, “You remind me of someone who would suddenly pretend to be strangers.”It was exactly how Nolan was like.Ryleigh was astonished. “Helios, you don’t blame us anymore?”“The two children are pretty cute. Since Royal Crown has signed them, and I have a magazine shoot coming up, I’m going to bring them along for that.”At the manager’s office…“What? You’re bringing the two kids on the magazine cover?” Helios’ manager, Morgan Lynch, stared at the two children who were with Helios, looking bewildered.Helios nodded. “Yes, they seem to be very photogenic. Wouldn’t they make the pictures look even better?”“But—” Morgan rubbed her temple. “How do we explain this to the publishers?”“Let me handle it. I’ll give them a good explanation.”Morgan was rendered speechless. Helios was a big star in the industry, even bigger than the A-listers, and Royal Crown had signed these children. As the senior at the top of the food
Now that I think of it, doesn’t Ms. Hills know Ms. Vanderbilt? When you got me to send Ms. Vanderbilt home, she seemed to be staying at the beach villas. Would she happen to know the children?”Quincy was pondering when Nolan got up and walked out. Quincy was surprised but followed along quickly. “Mr. Goldmann, where are you going?On the 16th floor…“Uncle Kennedy, you can start here tomorrow. I’ve notified all the employees that Vaenna has fired.”Maisie was making a call in front of the window and smiled when Kennedy said something in reply. “Alright, don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements.”After the call ended, Maisie held the phone in her hand. When they got there tomorrow, it would be the time to start coming up with a name for the jewelry brand. She turned around and was startled by Nolan, who had suddenly appeared behind her. “Mr. Goldmann, you—”Nolan walked up before Maisie could finish, cornered her against the window, and looked at her face calmly. “Do you have chil
Maisie always thought it had just been a coincidence.‘So the man from six years ago really was him!’ Maisie was starting to lose her cool.That was why when Leila had seen Colton and Daisie, she had asked if they were hers. That was also why Willow kept her at arm’s length, afraid that she would get close to Nolan. Hah, she was not going to let them take her kids! No way!…Willow pushed everything on the table to the floor. Leila walked in on her throwing a fit, so she asked, “Willie, what’s wrong?”“Mom, we need to do something before that woman steals Nolan away.”Leila was not going to let that happen. She walked up to her, nervous. “What actually happened?”Willow told her mother everything about Nolan giving Maisie a jewelry company. After she heard that, her expression changed. “Maisie, that vile woman! She has so many tricks up her sleeves.” Ever since her return, the mother and daughter had never had a day of peace. Now that she had finally left Vaenna, she went
Willow thought her mother was right, but she couldn’t wait for her mother to give birth to a son. The two evil kids were a huge threat to her. She had to find out who they were and get rid of them!At Beach Villa…“Mommy, aren’t you going to eat? Why are you just watching?” Colton asked while biting down on his spoon after noticing that his mother hadn't touched her food but instead was just staring at the three of them.Daisie and Waylon thought that their mother was a little off too!Maisie asked Daisie and Waylon, “Were you in contact with some weird man recently?”“Which weird man?”Maisie looked down, “Nothing. If someone approaches you and asks you anything, ignore them. Good children don’t speak to strangers, alright?”Waylon seemed to have understood who this “weird man” was. He gave Colton and Daisie a look. Daisie sat next to Maisie. “Mommy, we just met Uncle Boucher, no other men.”“Why did you meet him?”“Mommy, don’t be mad. He doesn’t know who our mommy is, a
Nolan’s father, Mr. Goldmann Sr., had started as a fan of Natasha’s, and because of her, he had purchased Royal Crown with a huge sum of money and managed to take her home.It wasn’t just Mr. Goldmann Sr.. Helios’ father had been smitten by her as well, and this was something that everyone talked about for a long time back in the day.“Mr. Goldmann, how nice of you to visit us,” Mr. Mayweather, the director of Royal Crown, greeted him.“Didn’t you sign two children? Where are they?”Mr. Mayweather was stunned but smiled and answered, “The two had been getting endorsement deals ever since they made a name being on the magazine cover with Helios.”Nolan squinted, “Endorsement deals from which company?”Mr. Mayweather answered, “An advertiser under Snowflake.”After finding out where the children were, Nolan went to the advertiser. The two children’s manager, Angela, was with them at the location of the shoot. Helios had introduced her to the children, and since they had their br
Nolan grinned. “No reason, I was just curious.”“Are you interested in our godmother?” Daisie giggled. Nolan’s expression froze.Daisie looked cheeky, her eyes smiling while she tilted her head. “You’re interested in our mommy then?”Nolan paused, looked down, and smiled. “What if I am?”Daisie and Waylon were shocked. “But you have a girlfriend.” Daisie pretended to be sorry. Nolan’s eyes slightly turned dark. “Who told you that?”Daisie answered, “A little birdie told us.”“She… isn’t my girlfriend.” Nolan didn’t know why he was explaining himself to these two children. Waylon frowned. “Why do you spend time with her if she isn’t your girlfriend? Grown-ups would call you a bad person!”Even if he was their father, they wouldn’t just hand their mother over to him.Nolan was rendered speechless.Daisie turned her head. “Waylon, don’t say that about him. He’s not a bad person. He bought us lobsters.”Waylon hummed. “You’re being bought over with lobsters?”His sister
