If Nolan didn’t want to lose, why would he let her into his heart? A lot of people understood that, but a lot of people would also willingly lose.At the Kent mansion, in the study…The bodyguard said something to Daniel from behind him while he took a drag from his vape pen. The white vapor circled, covering his cryptic eyes. “So they really are divorced?”The bodyguard answered, “Yes, three years ago. It was a huge deal, and I heard that his wife didn’t want the divorce at first and kept sticking around.”Daniel squinted and slowly turned around. “Send someone to keep an eye on them.”Maisie and Nolan continued acting for the next few days when they were out. Maisie’s relentless pursuit and Nolan’s annoyance were even blown up by the media.After news of ‘Alice pursuing the Goldmann Heir’ got out, a lot of people were shocked. They knew that Nolan had been married and divorced before, and he was a sick man.Alice was Mr. Henry’s daughter, the head of the Metropolis. She coul
Nolan lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips, but she was just as eager and thirsty. The moonlight shone on Maisie’s face, amplifying her beauty. Her long soft hair hung on Nolan’s arm as he hugged her in his arms sideways, eyes filled with love, staring at her more gently than the moonlight.He wished that time could pass slower so the time he could spend with her would last longer. At that moment, the phone he left on the table lit up. Nolan carefully got up to get his phone, but what he saw dimmed his eyes.The next day…Maisie didn’t see Nolan when she got up. She picked up her phone just to see a new headline.#Shocking: Ms. Henry is actually Hernandez de Arma’s granddaughter who turned to support the prince when her grandfather went missing.#Maisie scrolled through her phone. All the news sites seemed to be reporting about her identity. She turned pale.She immediately got out of bed and made a call. “Mr. Kent, what is the meaning of this?”“I should be the one a
Nolan supported himself on the table next to her and leaned down, the light scent of lavender pervading the air. “Do you believe me now?”Maisie turned around to look at him. “Robert is Roger’s right-hand man and his vault. How did you find out about this?”“All thanks to Wesley.” Nolan grinned. “They seem impeccable because they paid the people well enough. His son didn’t want to sell his father out at first.”“What made him change his mind?”“He wasn’t satisfied that he was always second-class compared to the children he had with his wife.”Nolan held her hair between his fingers. “Wesley tried to rope him in and made promises. Do you think he would choose to be a secret son or to have power?”“I guess power.”Maisie looked down. No one could reject the temptation of power since the dawn of mankind. When men had power, money and women would naturally follow.Nolan smiled. “The only mistake Robert made was not treating his son right.”When people had everything, it would be t
Maisie spoke again. “Three years ago, Uncle Erwin told me that the outbreak of the virus 30 years ago was caused by a group of people. They were studying the virus, and those people were the nobles.”Wesley was stunned. His face was turning pale as he stammered, “The nobles? They were studying the virus?”Maisie turned around and continued. “My grandfather is the only person who knows everything about the outbreak 30 years ago. However, he’s gone missing.”She rested her chin on one hand and said, “They made their move on my grandfather on the election year because they knew he would expose what they had done 30 years ago on the election day.”Getting the negative vote was just a diversion. If that was what they really wanted, they wouldn't have to push Hernandez so far to the point that she couldn't even find him right now.Wesley clenched his fists tightly and said, “It seems like the accident during the two years of my grandfather's presidency should also be related to the viru
“Your grandfather said your great-grandfather used to spend a lot of time in the study room. I think he should have kept the clues that your great-grandfather left behind.”Maisie returned to her senses. “The study room at the de Arma mansion?”‘That’s right. Grandpa should have known that those people would come for him, and he would definitely have prepared for this in advance.’Nolan grabbed Maisie’s hand and said, “Zee, there are two reasons I don’t want to disclose my conditions. One was I didn’t want you to know about it, and second, I’m guessing that they wouldn't dare to disclose it.”He had been infected with the virus for three years, yet the media still did not know what illness he had until this day. In other words, he had won the bet.Since someone was doing the experiment and the election was around the corner, the virus would only be more detrimental to them if it were made public before the election.“Just like you said, the only way to prevent the election from h
Maisie hung up the call, and her face was getting darker and darker.Saydie approached her and said, “Miss, someone is coming. We need to leave now.”“He's not going to let us both walk out of here,” Maisie said as she tugged at Saydie’s arm. She turned to look at her and said, “But at least one of us can get out of here.”Saydie frowned.When Maisie and Saydie came out of the study room, they saw a few black-clad men coming up the stairs.“There they are!”They rushed toward them when they noticed them.Saydie pushed Maisie aside. “Miss, you go first.”Maisie looked at her and said, “Remember what I said just now and be careful.”Saydie was stunned. She looked at her back for a long while before nodding.After that, Saydie took off her jacket and dashed toward the group of men while Maisie tried to run away through the staircase at the back door. As soon as she came out of the door, someone appeared and grabbed her arm. “Try to run away?”Maisie raised her elbow and struck
“She was only 14 when she arrived in Stoslo. She couldn't speak their language and had to live in the slums with her family, not knowing when the next meal would come. “At that time, people in the slums were not treated as human beings at all by the people of the upper class. They had no human rights and had to be obedient brutes. “In order to make a living, some of the people in the slums would send their daughters to become servants of the rich and powerful. “The girl was one of them, and her parents sold her to an old, wealthy merchant who had no children in exchange for money. “She didn't have a good life either after her parents sold her to the old wealthy merchant. He would beat her up from time to time, and she did not get enough food to eat or sleep. She was barely living a human life. “Later, she decided to change her life. She worked hard at learning their language and tried her best to please the old wealthy merchant. She even took the initiative to keep his guests
Daniel raised his head and looked at Maisie. “I think you don't need me to tell you who the eldest princess and the hoodlum are, right?”Maisie chuckled silently and replied, “So? So? The woman you're talking about is the woman who founded the Kents, and she’s your grandmother.”“Bingo.”There was no emotion in Daniel’s eyes. He looked straight at Maisie as if he was looking at a corpse and continued. “That old wealthy merchant is not related to us by blood. Thanks to my grandmother, she has continued his bloodline.”“It was your grandfather who infected the eldest princess with the virus and caused the outbreak, wasn’t it?”Daniel leaned back slightly in his chair. He looked at her with a cold smirk tugging on his lips and said, “Usually it is better to destroy what you can't get. In the end, it's all because of my grandfather that the prince has the power and status he has today.”His grandfather had drawn Prince Roger, the illegitimate son who was not valued by the royal famil
