Ryleigh was leaving when Quincy said, “Mr. Goldmann has his reasons.”Ryleigh paused and turned around, but Quincy had already gone back inside. In the study, Nolan looked out the window and remembered something. The coldness he exuded turned bone-chilling, and Quincy felt that when he got to the door.“Mr. Goldmann, Ms. Hills left,” he said. “Mm.” Nolan was focused, but he just nodded. Quincy frowned when Nolan didn’t ask. “Mr. Goldmann, are you not going to ask why she was here?”Nolan didn’t look affected, but the hand on his leg was clutched tight while his eyes were cold. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”Quincy glanced at him and didn’t say anything more. Saying that it didn’t matter was a lie. Anyone could tell how important Maisie was to him and how she was the dearest person to him.If it didn’t matter, he wouldn’t have investigated the accident from three years ago and tried to find news of her all over the world, nor would he have sent someone to Morwich…He hadn’t se
Strix put the document down. and lifted his head to look at her. “Your grandfather is in trouble now. Do you want to go back and have a look at the de Arma family?”Maisie was stunned. “What happened?”The only person left in this world that was connected to her through blood was Hernandez, her maternal grandfather. But how would he be in trouble?Strix nodded. “The Royal left-wing party has sent someone after your grandfather. While the de Arma family is in chaos right now, they seized the opportunity to take over the territory belonging to them. I'm guessing they're doing this to prevent your grandfather from meddling with the upcoming election.”Stoslo would hold a presidential election every six years. The royal family and the government would not intervene in the election. Perhaps the reason Roger had asked help from the government was to increase his own influence, or maybe he did not only want the throne but the entire Stoslo.When Strix did not get any response from Maisie
The car came to a stop outside of Easton Estate. Easton Estate was huge. The garden was full of Irises, which Strix had personally planted.Maisie got out of the car, and the people beside her said respectfully, “Mr. Henry bought Easton Estate when he came to Stoslo on business. All of the people here are Mr. Henry’s men, and you can tell them whatever you need.”Maisie nodded. Then, a maid led her into the manor. The decoration in the manor was similar to that of Hanns Palace, which obviously cost a lot of money.She walked up to a couch and sat down. After that, she looked at the man and asked, “Do you know anything about the de Arma family?”“The de Arma family?” The man was stunned for a few seconds before replying, “It's said that the de Arma family and the Kents have been fighting against each other in the past few years with the de Arma family gaining the upper hand. However, Hernandez went missing a few days ago, and Roger's men seized the chance to take over the territory
At Roger’s mansion…The sound of a cup falling to the floor could be heard from the study. The old man with silver hair had a strong physique, and his turquoise eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s.“A bunch of idiots! Have you found out who the hell did it?”The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied, “Your Highness, we haven’t found out who did it. However, the way they didn't leave anyone alive is identical to that person's from the Metropolis.”The person from the Metropolis he was talking about was none other than Saydie, Mr. Henry’s subordinate. Saydie was notorious for her ruthlessness, and Patrick, who was a cruel man himself, was nothing compared to her. After all, Patrick would still give the person he captured a chance to live, but Saydie was different. She would not let those who had fallen into her hands live.Saydie was a notoriously vicious woman in the Metropolis. When Mr. Henry was away, Saydie would take over the Metropolis. She represented Mr. Henry, and the f
Nolan turned his eyes back onto the computer screen. It showed the information about "Alice", but there was very little content. There was not even a picture of her. At the same time, he received a message on his phone. It was from Wesley, an old friend of his in Stoslo.A few days later…The refusal of Mr. Henry's daughter, Ms. Alice Henry, to meet Prince Roger's people led to a heated debate.One of them was the daughter of Mr. Henry, who was highly valued by the royal family and had the same power as the royal family in Morwich, while the other was a member of the royal family in Stoslo. It was rare for someone to disrespect the prince.Of course, she only disrespected the prince. After all, Ms. Alice did not reject it when the royal family invited her with courtesy.In the ornate and grand white living room, the maids were standing at the side and serving tea. Queen Anna was in her 50s. She was the niece of the eldest princess, a descendant of the Miller royal bloodline. H
The Ashton Group hosted a grand banquet at the hotel's banquet hall in the evening to celebrate the Ashton Group’s revival.Why were they celebrating the Ashton Group’s revival? It was known that the Ashton Group had been operating in Stoslo for 60 years. However, due to the recession, nobody wanted to take over the Ashton Group after the former chairman declared bankruptcy.After joining the Ashton Group and becoming its largest shareholder and chairman, Wesley brought the Ashton Group back to life. When the press had asked him why he would take over the Ashton Group, he just said that he had worked as a part-timer before attending university. He liked the Ashton Group very much, so he did not want to see the company go down the drain just like that. It was considered a straightforward yet positive answer. No matter if it was true or not, the Ashton Group's market value had indeed increased by 70% within one year ever since Wesley took over. It was the second-largest company in th
As soon as Maisie finished speaking, a man came out from behind her with a silver box, stepped forward, and opened the box. There was a fragile and clear-looking Nine Dragon jade cup lying in the box.Everyone knew that the world-renowned Mr. Wesley David liked to collect Victorian antiques the most—he loved them so much that they were priceless to him.Sure enough, Wesley was pleased. “Please thank Mr. Henry for me. I like this gift very much.”He motioned the person beside him to receive the box.Maisie took the wine glass handed over by someone from the side and clinked her glass with Wesley.The people on the side were discussing, most of them having doubts.“So, she’s really Ms. Henry.”“Why is she wearing a mask? Is she afraid that others will see her face?”“Mr. Henry is very protective. After all, even the media hasn’t been able to find out any information about her. Not to mention that she wears a mask whenever she appears. She’s truly a mysterious woman.”Maisie igno
“Ma’am!” Saydie exclaimed.The waiter bowed and apologized in great panic. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”Maisie took out a handkerchief nimbly, wiped her hand, and then said with a smile, “It’s no big deal, you’re good to go.”Nolan looked at her. “I asked someone to prepare a gown just in case something like this happened. I think it should suit you very well, Ms. Henry. After all, the banquet is nowhere near over yet.”It seemed that she was planning to leave the venue halfway. However, the banquet was not over yet, so he said that to keep her here for now.Wesley grinned and said, “Indeed, Ms. Henry came to attend my banquet. She mustn’t be wearing clothes that are stained with wine. That would make other people think that I’m not playing a good enough host.”Maisie raised her head and accepted the kindness readily. “Then I might have to trouble you for the gown already, Mr. Goldmann.”Maisie asked Saydie to accompany her even when she went to change her attire in the guest room be
