Seeing that the man in the bed wasn’t reacting, she sat at the edge of the bed and touched his cold hand. “Nolan, you can’t die. I really didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to save you.”Sue’s eyes welled up. Although she had only spent a short time with Nolan, even if it was as Sue, she knew that he didn’t hate ‘Sue’, and that was a good start. She finally had a chance, but why couldn’t she save him?“I’m sorry, Nolan. It was my fault. It was all because of Maisie. She wanted to frame me and switch out the vaccine. I really didn’t know that it would have such a huge effect on you, Nolan. I really don’t want you to die…”Sue’s hand touched his face. “What are you doing?”A sudden voice came from outside, startling Sue. She turned around and saw Maisie standing at the door, staring back.Sue looked at Nolan and stood up with a stoic expression. “You switched out the vaccines and caused this. How could you still show your face here?”Maisie slowly said, “You betrayed Mr. Ke
‘I’m Sue Reynolds!’Sue kept saying the name in her heart, again and again, telling herself that she was Sue Reynolds.Sue turned her head around and met Maisie’s gaze. She said with a smile on her face, “I’m sorry, but I have no idea who this is. Although I don't know what prejudice you have against me, what is the purpose of you doing this to me? I just want to tell you that I want the best for Mr. Goldmann—”A slap landed on Sue’s face, causing her to turn her head sideways. She was stunned for a short while, and then she hissed angrily. “How dare you slap me!?”a“You want the best for him? Hah, please don’t make me laugh!” Maisie said as she rubbed her wrist. Then, she looked at Sue, whose face was clouded with a paroxysm of anger, shock, and ruthlessness. “What? Don’t give me that face.”Sue raised her arm as she wanted to slap Maisie back. Maisie just stood there and looked at her straight. Before Sue’s hand could reach Maisie’s face, Saydie grabbed her arm and pinned her on
Maisie’s face sank. She said, “I remember I gave you a chance to admit it, right?”Rowena was stumped. Maisie rose to her feet and stopped in front of Rowena. She looked down at her and continued. “Rowena, I knew you didn’t want to work for Daniel back then. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Why would I plot against you? It's because you participated in Daniel's plan. You were the one who pulled the trigger. You were the one who kidnapped me and lured Nolan into Daniel's trap. And now you're saying that you truly love him?”Maisie cupped her chin with her hands and said, “If you truly loved Nolan, you wouldn't have put him in danger, nor would you have watched his mother die back then!”Rowena’s pupils constricted, and she felt as if her organs had twisted together.Maisie continued. “Do you know that it's exactly because you refused to save and even hid the information about Nolan's mother that made him lose his mother? So what makes you think that the Goldmanns
Everyone in the ward gasped when they saw what had happened to Rowena.Rowena was lying on the floor in a prostate position, twitching with pain. She raised her head, and under her messy hair was her face that was filled with shock and tears. “Nolan… How could you do this to me?”Rowena couldn’t believe that Nolan was willing to do this to her. He had never done something like this to her before, but at this moment, she saw nothing but ruthlessness, coldness, and mercilessness from his face.“This is just a light punishment considering what you've said,” Nolan said as he glared coldly at her. “I would’ve killed you if I could do it now.”‘Kill me?’Rowena felt a pang in her heart, and it began to constrict violently. Then, she cried out in a frenzied manner, “What’s wrong for me to call her a b*tch? Do you feel upset? Nolan, if it weren't for my grandfather back then, the Goldmanns wouldn't be where you are today!”Rowena got up from the floor awkwardly. Her eyes were bloodshot,
Rowena froze. Suddenly, she cupped her head with her hands and laughed. “You’re here to get your revenge, right, Maisie? You’re here to kill me, right? What can you achieve by killing me?” She stared at her viciously and said, “If you kill me, will those people come back to life? Hahaha, do it then! I won't feel lonely when I have them with me in hell.”Clenching her fist tightly, Maisie turned her head around and looked at her. “Who told you that you have the right to go down there and be with them?”“In other words, you can’t kill me,” Rowena said as she shrugged. There was a manic smile on her face, and she continued in a haughty manner. “Playing some dirty tricks is all you can do. Even if you hate me to the core, you can't even kill me.”Maisie smiled and said, “Why should I get my hands dirty because I hate you?”As she walked closer to Rowena, she said, “Daniel has gotten what he deserves for everything he has done. As for you, it will be a mercy if I kill you, and mercy i
Nolan smiled and grabbed her hand. “I'm not coughing anymore.”Just when Maisie was about to say something, a figure appeared at the door.The newcomer was none other than Erwin. He was wearing a coffee-colored trench coat, making him look even more handsome and regal.“I hope I'm not interrupting you two,” he said.Maisie hurriedly rose to her feet and asked, “Uncle Erwin, how is Mr. Kestner?” As Erwin approached Maisie, he replied, “Adrian is fine. He looks a little bit worn out, but he’s doing fine.”Strix had been very firm in his attitude when he went to get Adrian back from Roger. On the other side, Roger had been worried that Strix would make a big deal out of it, so he had no other choice but to let Adrian go.“Robert was his milk cow while Daniel was his executioner, and Roger has become a lot weaker than he used to be after losing both of them,” Nolan said as he tugged at his blanket. “Although he still has Shawn and Gregory on his side, neither of them can pose a thr
Maisie’s face was pale. She lowered her head and took the golden ring out of her pocket. “This is what my grandfather left for me. That man said that my grandfather was still alive!”She grabbed Nolan’s arm. “Nolan Goldmann, you lied to me, didn’t you? My grandfather may still be alive, he isn’t dead yet!”‘I have only one relative left. Since he could set up a plot to confuse us, he should be fine.’Nolan hugged her tightly again. “Zee, I know you feel bad about this, but it’s already very obvious why your grandfather gave you the ring of the de Armas.”Maisie was astounded, and she could not help but tightly clench her hands stuck between her body and his warm chest.‘That’s right, why would Grandpa ask the man to pass me the ring that represents the status of the patriarch or matriarch of the de Armas? It is because he wants me to inherit his identity!’Maisie did not know why she felt sad. Even though she did not have much contact with her grandfather three years ago, maybe i
The man poured a cup of tea. “Grandma wants to see you.”Nolan remained silent for a while. “She’s in Stoslo?”“Yes.” The man took a sip of tea. “It’s just that it’s not very convenient for her to come to you.”Standing upstairs, Maisie was a little surprised when she heard their conversation.‘Nolan’s grandmother is in Stoslo?’She could more or less guess the identity of this man now. He should be Yorrick, the current patriarch of the Hathaways.“You can bring her with you. Grandma is willing to meet her granddaughter-in-law too.” Yorrick placed the teacup next to his lips and smiled.Not long after their conversation, Yorrick got up and left the villa.Maisie was sitting on the chaise longue in the room and was casually flipping through some books. It was when Nolan entered the door that she raised her gaze. “Have you finished talking?”“Hmm.” Nolan managed to squeeze one word out of his throat, walked up to her, sat down, and leaned toward her. “What are you reading about?
