‘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
Maisie was stunned. “When did that happen?”Saydie replied, “That was three days ago. The original board of directors also left after all the internal changes took place.”Maisie lowered her gaze and remained calm.‘There was a big change in Luxella Inc.’s internal structure three days ago?‘Luxella’s owner, Eason Sachsen, has been quite a big gun in the jewelry field for more than 20 years, and Luxella has always been one of the top brands in the jewelry industry. So why would he hand Luxella to someone else?’“Aren’t you Ms. Zora?” A rather familiar voice came from behind her, and the person who would call her by that name...Maisie turned sideways, and by coincidence, the first thing that caught her eyes were the deep and well-defined eye sockets.“Mr. Smith?” She narrowed her eyes.‘What a coincidence.’Jones could not believe it was her at first, but he was convinced as he stepped forward and saw her face. “I haven’t seen you for three years, and you don’t seem to have ch
“Jones,” Maisie looked out the window, her eyes twitching, “He told me, Sue Reynolds is his uncle’s assistant.”Nolan laughed but didn’t say anything. He kept his thoughts to himself. “But when I mentioned Sue and Strix, Jones avoided the topic.” She grinned. “I guess he knows something.” He knew something about the ‘imposter Strix’ researching the antibody.Nolan sucked in air as if he was smoking and said in a low, husky voice, “From what I know, no one in Jones’ family is medically trained, but there was one person who left the family a long time ago.”Maisie paused. “Are you referring to his uncle?”“Yes.” Nolan paused and calmly said, “But don’t worry about them. The antibody is authentic. Roger wants to get his reputation back with the antibody while I didn’t use the antibody, so it’s still considered a win.”He was infected, so the media would focus on him. His recovery would benefit Roger. Roger wouldn’t do anything to him for now and would wish for nothing but his rec
