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
There was no way one person could have done all of that unless someone helped, and that person would have a certain amount of power.Maisie leaned on Nolan. At least now they could prove that this ‘Sue’ was an imposter.She beamed and grinned. “I think Sue likes you.”Nolan frowned. “Are you still thinking about what happened at the hospital?”“No.”Maisie raised her brow and ran a finger over his Adam’s apple. “I’m interested to know her intentions.”She had gotten close to Nolan and pretended to know the imposter ‘Strix’. If that were their arrangement, she would one day make a mistake.Nolan held her hand and smiled. “Are you going to put on an act again?”“It’s a waste you didn’t become an actor with Helios with your acting skills.”Nolan lowered his head and kissed her deeply because she mentioned Helios. When she finally had the chance to breathe, her face was blushing while her eyes were wet, looking sultry.“Some annoying person wanted to give me to him at one point.
Nolan took a quick glance at Sue. “She thought that something happened between Ms. Reynolds and me.” Sue looked surprised, but the shock immediately dissipated, and she laughed, “Oh, you were talking about that woman? I’m sorry, I didn’t know what happened would cause any problems.”“That’s ridiculous. Ms. Reynolds saved Nolan. Where was she when Nolan was gravely sick?" Titus didn’t look happy.“Since you’re divorced, you should cut ties. If she cared about you, where was she when you were sick?”When Nolan had been hospitalized, Maisie had never shown up. If it weren’t for Sue and the so-called Strix’s vaccine, how could he have recovered so quickly?Even though Maisie was innocent in the incident three years ago, Nolan was true to her. Titus felt bad for her for losing her child, her father, and Cherie, but he didn’t want his grandson to be involved in an accident either. He should have cut ties.Sue listened intently. She had learned about their divorce that year and fin
“Where is my mom?” Nolan was impatient and tried to get up after moving his blanket away.Quincy pushed him down. “Mr. Goldmann, you have not fully recovered yet.”Maisie walked into the ward. Nolan looked at her and was a little stunned.Quincy turned to look at her. “Ms. Vanderbilt. You see that Mr. Goldman might—”“I know.” Maisie walked to his bed and leaned down to look at Nolan, smiling. Nolan asked with no change in expression, “Who are you?”“Me?” Maisie smiled. “I’m the wife that the 32-year-old you married.”Quincy looked at her with surprise but didn’t say anything. Nolan’s memory was stuck at 17. Even though they couldn’t be sure if Nolan could recover, this was what they had to deal with now.Nolan looked at her. His calm face didn’t show any signs of disgust or rejection as he let this stranger get close.When Maisie approached, his heart skipped a beat.Nolan subconsciously raised his hand to touch her face, but she grabbed his wrist and smiled. “I’m your futu
“Hah!” Adrian looked outside the window with a dark gaze. “The virus he was infected with was a mutated variant, and he’s already in the late stages.”Sue turned pale and held her hand into a fist.Daniel had only told her that it was the sleeper virus but didn’t tell her anything more. She had wanted that woman to be infected.Her face wouldn’t have been ruined if it weren’t for that woman, and Daniel wouldn’t have treated her that way either. She knew it wouldn’t have ended well for her if she stayed with Daniel. Thus, she had decided to leave Daniel after carrying out her task in Zlokova. She had bumped into Sue and learned that Sue was Adrian’s apprentice when she had nowhere else to go. Even though he was a lecturer at Turner Institute of Art, he was actually Jones’ uncle and had quite a lot of knowledge in medicine and viruses. He had even been in the same class as Strix.Hence, she had started the fire to steal Sue’s identity.After sacrificing Sue in the fire, she ha
