Similarly, Titus was surprised to see Maisie here as well. “Maisie? What’re you doing here?”Titus knew Maisie was alive. After all, they couldn’t find her corpse back then, so that could only mean she was still alive. It was just that he didn’t expect to see her in Stoslo.Maisie calmed herself down and approached them. “Where’s Nolan?”Just when Quincy wanted to say something, Titus’ face sank, and he answered, “Both of you stopped being husband and wife three years ago, so why are you still looking for him?”“If I didn’t come here, how would I know he’s infected with the virus?”Quincy was stunned when he heard what Maisie said.‘How did she learn about it?’Titus frowned and harrumphed coldly. “Isn't it because of you that he got infected with the virus?”Maisie was stumped, and her heart trembled.“Maisie, why do you think Nolan was so hellbent on getting a divorce with you back then?” Titus took a deep breath and said in a stern voice, “He could sacrifice his life for yo
“It’s a new type of virus.” Quincy looked at her and said, “This virus doesn’t have an incubation period, and the onset is more rapid than the virus 30 years ago.”Maisie’s jaw was set tightly. She remained silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, “You take care of him.”After that, she turned around and left the room. When she arrived in front of her car, Maisie stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at the ceiling-to-floor window.In the end, she went back into the car and said, “Let’s go back.”Saydie took a glance at her through the rearview mirror and drove off.A man sitting in the car not far away from them curled his lips upward coldly as he watched the car slowly disappearing into the distance.“Finally found you.”Several days later…Maisie met with Daniel in a restaurant. When Daniel showed up, a grin was tugging at the corner of his lips. “What do you think, Ms. Vanderbilt? Have you finally come to a decision after considering it for a
Daniel spread his hands. “I’ll call my men and get them to withdraw from the villa at this moment if you agree to my proposal, I’m a man of my words.”“You just set me up a few days ago.” Maisie picked up her cell phone and put it back into her handbag, then stood up slowly. “Can I even trust you for a second time?”“You can.” Daniel looked at her. “I only want to get the negative vote, so I’ll let him go this time around for your sake as long as you agree to my term.”Maisie smiled. “Okay, I promise.”Seeing that she agreed, Daniel also took out his cell phone and made a call. “You guys can withdraw from the place now.”He then looked at her. “Are you satisfied now?”Maisie glanced at him meaningfully. “Mr. Kent, I don’t like to suffer a loss when it comes to business. You’ve taken advantage of me this time, and I’ll keep this in mind.”She gave him a faint smile and hurried out of the restaurant with a gloomy face.Saydie stood in front of the car and asked her the second she
Nolan was startled, but a warm smile appeared on his face. “You’re here?”Quincy cleared his throat. “Then I’ll take my leave first.”He walked out of the room and closed the door on his way out.Maisie walked up to Nolan and stood in front of him with an expressionless face. “Nolan, are you planning to hide your infection from me until the day you die?”Nolan raised his gaze and stared at her but did not answer.Maisie leaned over to look at him, and her scarlet lips moved. “If you’re planning to die, please sign the divorce papers before you do so. After all, it will be hard to remarry if I become a widow.”Usually, when the concept of remarriage was mentioned in the past, Nolan would have expressed his jealousy by now. However, he only smiled and looked at her with his gloomy eyes this time. “Have you found your Mr. Right?”Maisie stood up and shrugged. “Not yet. If I have to come up with someone that suits my taste, Helios is not too bad, not to mention that he likes my kids
Wesley’s mind clicked, and he nodded. “I see, no wonder you’ve been wearing a mask.”‘Mr. Henry claimed to the media that Alice is his biological daughter, but she is a brunette and her facial features don’t give off any clue saying that she’s a mixed-blood. It’s only natural for her to be questioned if she hadn’t been wearing a mask.’He then thought of something and stared at them. “Then have you two known each other for a long time?”Maisie shrugged while Nolan smiled bitterly.After five minutes, Wesley sat himself down on the couch, and Quincy poured him a cup of coffee.Nolan turned to look at him. “Wesley, is there an emergency?”Wesley could not even care about taking a sip out of the mug as he had some urgent news to bring up. He forced himself to calm down and replied, “It’s true that this is an emergency. My men heard that Prince Roger had brought the presidential election forward. Those people in the government, except my father and a few of my father’s colleagues, ha
“Nolan Goldmann, I might have promised to stay here with you, but I haven’t forgiven you for what you’ve done.” Maisie pushed his arms away gently, stood up, and looked at him after saying that. “You have to live on first if you want to make it up to me.”Nolan scoffed silently.…Maisie had been staying at the East Island Villa these few days, and she had sent a text message to Saydie so that she would not have to worry about her.She and Nolan both slept in separate rooms throughout those days. Although a certain man would come over to her room and occupy her bed in the middle of the night, nothing happened in between them.The reason Nolan kept his hands off her was that he was worried she would get infected too. Even if she would not get infected, there was no guarantee that the virus would not be passed on to their kids if she were to get pregnant again.Babies were more likely to die from the virus than adults.When Maisie’s mother had been pregnant with her, she had alrea
Nolan was stunned for a short moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled dumbly. “You actually remember.”“You can bet on it that I won’t forget about that, Nolan Goldmann. I won’t forget anything that you said to me before this. You still owe me so much more, so how can I allow you to die?”Maisie stretched out her hand, took out her cell phone, and sent a text message to Saydie. She then said calmly, “Daniel approached me just to make the public think we are on the same side. I’m guessing that the election was pushed forward probably because I showed my support for them.”With that being said, she lifted her cell phone. “I have to put on a full show for them.”Nolan kissed the top of her head and gave off a warm smile. “Then should I play along with you?”…A high-end restaurant with a cozy environment had been reserved, and men in black were standing by on the inside and outside of the premises. The atmosphere was rather solemn.Maisie only brought five people along, and Saydie
“But if everyone learned that you’re Hernandez’s granddaughter, as well Alice of the Metropolis, and even have an intimate relationship with me, do you think they’d let you go?”Maisie looked at him with a neutral expression. “So I have no choice but to work with you?”Daniel shrugged. “You just need to lay low. We’ll take care of everything.”Maisie smiled and raised the wine glass, but there was no joy in her eyes. “Let’s work together then.”Daniel didn’t touch his glass as he seemed to have seen someone. He squinted, and his eyes flashed.Maisie turned around and saw Nolan being pushed in by Quincy in a wheelchair. The bodyguards and Daniel’s bodyguards faced each other, and the air became still as if a battle was about to break out.Maisie stood up immediately and turned to look at Daniel. “You did this intentionally?”Daniel shrugged, his face not showing a hint as to whether this was deliberate or he was oblivious.“Mr. Kent, we haven’t met in three years. I didn’t know
