Titus relaxed and smiled upon hearing this answer. “Okay, that’s great.”Quincy’s expression looked obviously surprised.‘The virus is actually under control? But if this person isn’t Strix, who else would have such an ability? Could it be that both my guess and that of Mr. Goldmann are wrong?’The corner of Sue’s lips raised, and she gave off a smile. “Mr. Goldmann, do you trust my teacher now?”Titus had obtained that good result he wanted, so it was only natural for him to be more willing to believe in her. “It’s really thanks to Mr. Salazar. I’ll remember the kindness that you’ve shown the Goldmanns for the rest of my life, so feel free to bring anything up to me if you need it in the future.”“There’s no need for such a strong promise, Mr. Goldmann. My teacher has spent his life doing this research, and there’s nothing he needs. He’s satisfied as long as he can help more people.”Titus deeply appreciated Sue’s modest and reserved answer. “If you have any needs in the future,
Maisie did not speak.Nolan felt a little helpless. “My grandfather was the one who asked her to stay back to take care of me.”‘Although I didn’t need it.’Maisie smiled. “Your grandfather really cares a lot about you. Strix from Stoslo has managed to control the virus in your body, and she’s Strix’s apprentice. Ergo, this makes her a great benefactor. Your grandfather should be breathing on your neck at this very moment, asking you to divorce me sooner and then marry her, shouldn’t he?”Nolan slightly frowned as he pinched her nose. “Aren’t you afraid of getting a bad tooth when you can’t stop being so sour about things?”“Don’t you touch me with the hand that you just used to grab her just minutes ago!” Maisie smacked his hand off her arm. She took offense to what had happened as if her belongings had been touched by someone else. She felt extremely disgusted!Nolan took her into his arms, and his voice sounded hoarse. “There’s no more room in my heart for another woman—you ha
‘His enemies would think that they’ve gotten him, but in fact, it was them who were getting played in the end.’Nolan pinched her chin, and his thin lips were slightly closed. “You told me that you were only going to be away for a few days. Yet, you were away for so long that I thought you’d never return.”Maisie blinked. “What if I really didn’t come back?”Nolan did not answer.Maisie grabbed onto the slightly cold hand that was holding her chin. “Nolan, wait for a while more. I’ll definitely be able to save you.”Nolan was slightly taken aback, then kissed the top of her head and forehead. “Did you go to Morwich to get Strix to save me?”“Yeah.” She wrapped her arms around his waist. “Strix already has a solution, but we still need to wait for a bit more.”…Sue took the elevator to the hotel's top floor as her expression turned sulky.‘I’ve been hiding in Stoslo for three years and finally received the news about Daniel’s death. But I didn’t expect that sl*t to be alive!
Maisie listened to his reply. “We do share some backstory, but I’ll resolve this matter myself. I’ll get Erwin to bring the new vaccine to you when the results are out.”As for the backstory he had with the impostor, Strix did not tell her. Still, she knew that it must be something huge.‘He impersonated Strix, but the vaccine he developed is genuine. It’s just that they’re useless to Nolan. This is equivalent to saying that his original intention isn’t malicious, nor did he deceive others by turning the virus into a vaccine, just like what the Kents did in the past.‘But if he doesn’t have any malicious intent, why is he doing so? Is he trying to force Strix into reappearing?’Maisie had had to rush to catch the plane, and her body had not fully recovered yet, so she did not even eat dinner and went to bed early after taking her medication.The light from the lamps and the shadows of the greenery in the courtyard interlaced with the moonlight, and all these were projected on the
Maisie frowned in doubt. “Do I know you?”The man glanced at her. “Are you Ms. Vanderbilt?”Maisie replied, “I am.”“I’m someone who had been on Mr. Hernandez de Arma’s side. I’ve come here because I heard that Ms. Vanderbilt is living in the Easton Estate. I’m here on behalf of Sir Hernandez!”Maisie stood up abruptly when the man mentioned Hernandez’s name. “Where’s my grandfather?”“He’s still alive, but he’s currently being held captive by someone else,” the man replied.Maisie glanced at Saydie, and the latter immediately understood what she meant and walked up to the man. “What evidence do you have to prove that you are on Sir Hernandez’s side?”“I have his ring in my pocket!”The bodyguard behind him fumbled in his pocket and found a golden ring that had the emblem of the de Armas engraved on it.Saydie took the ring from the bodyguard, took a glimpse at it, then walked up to Maisie. “It’s genuine.”Maisie took the ring into her hand. She seemed to remember that her gr
Roger had spent a huge amount of money to monopolize the resources to develop the vaccine, mostly because he wanted to suppress the enormous turmoil that Daniel had created. After all, the Kents had deceived the public with their development of fake vaccines, causing public anger.Since someone under the guise of Strix had developed the vaccine, people who believed in Strix’s reputation would definitely buy them.Regardless of the effect of the vaccine, even if they were fake, the person who would have to face the public’s wrath would be the real Strix instead of the impostor. However, if the vaccine was real, Roger could make a fortune and clear his name from the relationship that he had with the Kents, winning both fame and fortune.To put it bluntly, Roger had been planning a comeback with these vaccines.The corners of Nolan’s lips stiffened, and his fingers were tapping on the table. “The people from Yaramoor wouldn’t interfere in these matters for no reason. There should be s
Nolan squinted while staring at the documents on his desk. “Come to my place if you miss me. I’ll be waiting for you at the villa.”Ten minutes later, Maisie appeared outside the study door in a burgundy textile dress with a stand-up collar, loose, long sleeves that ended with a tight wrap around her wrists, and an antique silver-copper necklace set with blue diamonds inlaid on it.She was also wearing a beret of the same color, and her long black curly hair was resting on her left shoulder, making her look both elegant and enchanting.Her temperament was cold and sophisticated, her complexion was as fair as snow, and her appearance matched perfectly with such a retro dress, especially the color burgundy, which complemented her beauty.Nolan’s gaze was fixed on her, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off her. “You’re wearing such a glamorous dress. Are you trying to seduce me?”Maisie gave off a faint smirk, stopped in front of him, leaned over, and stared at him. “Well then, M
“Zee, do you know Sue Reynolds?” Nolan’s gaze was fixed on her as if he had understood something from her expression.Maisie replied after a short while, “This is impossible. She’s not Sue.”Quincy was shocked. He looked at Nolan and asked immediately, “Ms. Vanderbilt, what do you mean by that?”‘Isn’t she Sue Reynolds?’Maisie pursed her lips slightly. “I met Sue Reynolds while I was still living in Stoslo nine years ago. She is of mixed ethnicity from East Eurasia, her father is a Caucasian from Zlokova, and her mother came from Jakukari and is of oriental origin. She’s definitely a student who graduated from Turner Institute of Art and went through an internship in Luxella Inc. However, she doesn’t look like this.”‘Sue Reynolds. I can totally understand this if it’s just the same first and last name. But her identity, background, and information listed on this document are exactly the same as that of Sue’s. The only difference is that the person in the photo is not the Sue tha
