Nolan’s fingers that were holding her shoulder tightened until Maisie put her hands around his waist and put her cheek to his chest to feel his warm, beating heart.“Zee…”“Are you done being angry?” Maisie glanced at him, looking a little proud. Nolan pressed his thin lips together as if he was being roped in.Maisie adjusted his tie. “Had fun having lunch with Maizie?”Nolan paused and looked away. “Do you know why I was having lunch with her?”“To make me jealous,” Maisie’s eyes were smiling, “I didn’t know if you were really upset with me, so I waited for you to come back to me instead.”“Would it kill you to make the first move?”Nolan felt defeat for the first time, but it probably wasn't the first time it had happened.Maisie kissed his Adam’s apple. He frowned, hugged her waist tightly, and said in a deep voice, “Stop it, Maisie.”However, Maisie pushed him onto the desk, running her delicate fingers over his brow and around his face and features. “You’re not difficu
Maisie lifted her head. “Who’s that?”“Madam Vanderbilt,” Kennedy turned around to look at her and replied, “She has come and caused us quite a lot of trouble in the past three years. Although Vaenna Jewelry has become Soul Jewelry, it's still one of the Vanderbilts’ assets in its core. They thought you were dead, and she insisted on letting her grandson inherit Stephen's assets.”Maisie let out a laugh. As she swirled the pen around in her hand, she said, “After so many years, the Vanderbilts from Coralia haven't changed at all.”Kennedy sighed helplessly. “They're just getting worse and worse. This isn't the first time they came here and made a scene. They even summoned the police, but there was nothing the police could do ειτηερ. After all, you're the legal heir to Stephen’s assets according to his will.”After he finished talking, he looked at Maisie and said, “Are you going to do something?”Maisie slowly rose to her feet and replied, “I’m not going to show myself yet. I want
“Ms. Alice told me to give you guys a good beating since it seems to her that you're pretty looking forward to it. Besides, your grandson has served time in prison before. He should have gotten used to getting beaten up, so he should be a good punching dummy for me to polish my skills.”Hector was frightened and hid behind Madam Vanderbilt. “Grandma, s-she wants to beat me.”“Let’s go. We shouldn't bother ourselves with these barbarians!”Since the person behind Saydie knew about her grandson's imprisonment, Madam Vanderbilt could tell that the woman in front of her was not someone they could mess with.Maisie returned to her office and asked about everything that had happened to the Vanderbilts in Coralia for the past three years. It turned out that the Vanderbilts had been suffering from a slump in profits for the past three years. They couldn't sustain the operation of their hot spring hotel, so they sold it to someone else for $150,000.This amount was not enough for the Vande
“Is it because I’ve lost my memory?” Nolan parted his lips and said, looking as pitiful as a little kid who his parents had abandoned, “Is that why you don’t need me anymore?”Maisie chuckled and threw herself into his arms. She pressed her lips on his ear and said, “Who told you that I don’t need you anymore? I need your heart. I want your body. I want to make every single inch of you mine.”Nolan looked at her intently. Her smile was charming and alluring. It tickled his heart all the time, and every cell in his body was screaming at him to get closer to her.He kissed her forehead and said in a serious manner, “Let’s go home first, and I’m all yours.”The night was getting darker. The light on the bedside table cast a warm yellow light under it. Half of Nolan's face was lit by the light as he ran over Maisie's hair with his finger. Maisie turned around and buried herself in his chest. Then she said, “Nolan, I want to borrow someone from you.”Nolan lowered his head and aske
It seemed to them that the group of people in front of them did not come with good intentions. However, the loan sharks couldn't remember what they had done that offended these people.Maisie took a seat on the couch and asked, “How much money does Yorick owe you guys?”The group of people was stunned. They knew who Yorick was, but they did not expect that he was the reason that Maisie and her gang were here. All of them wondered when Yorick had someone from high society as his supporter.Wearing an ingratiating smile on his face, a man said, “About $70,000.”Maisie put the silver briefcase on the table, and Quincy proceeded to open up the briefcase. The briefcase was filled with notes, and it seemed to them that there was about $150,000 in it. Maisie said expressionlessly, “I’ll pay for his debt. There is $150,000 here. Give me Yorick’s debt contract.”A man went to the desk to look for Yorick’s debt contract. When he found it, he handed it to Maisie with both hands.Maisie
In a rental house along the coastal town…The house was a mess. The table was littered with fast food boxes from the day before yesterday. The weather was no longer as hot as it was in summer, and the climate in coastal areas was humid. It was cold at night, so there was not a single fly hovering around.The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts to the brim. The phone on the table next to the bed lit up, and Yorick picked it up to have a look at it.He had a bad hangover, and he came to his senses abruptly after seeing something on his phone. He sat up and stared at the extra $150,000 in his account.Yorick’s hand that was holding his phone was shaking. He rubbed his eyes and took another look at it. The extra $150,000 was still there in his account.He logged into his bank account and found that the money had been transferred about an hour ago.Yorick snapped out of his trance when he heard someone knocking on the door. He put on his trousers and went to open the door. Mad
Yorick had not lived the life of a human after hiding for so many years. He had once been a brilliant man but was now living a destitute life.He missed those days when he was a successful and prestigious man, and he would regret it on countless nights.But it was useless to feel regretful about anything now.He thought that all those that had happened to him were the results of his mother’s insatiable greed.“Dad, why are you scolding Grandma? This is obviously not Grandma’s fault. None of these would have happened if Uncle Stephen had handed Vaenna to me instead of Maisie in the first place.”Hearing that Hector was still fighting for Madam Vanderbilt, Yorick glared at him and snorted.‘If I had known back then that this b*stard would grow into someone so useless and pathetic, I would’ve strangled him to death when he was born.’Madam Vanderbilt soothed her grandson’s emotions and said to Yorick, “Son, what’s happened, happened. You and Hecky are the only relatives that I have
Maizie’s expression changed slightly. “Then tell Nole that I’m here to see him.”The receptionist kept her patient and professional smile on. “Ms. Hannigan, please don’t make it difficult for us. We can only follow the order Mr. Goldmann has given us unless you can call Mr. Goldmann in person.”Maizie’s expression dimmed, and she slowly took out her cell phone but did not dial any number. After all, she did not have Mr. Goldmann’s number.‘He opted to meet me the last time I was here to ask him out for dinner, so why is he rejecting my meeting request this time around?’At that moment, Nolan came out of the elevator, but the person walking next to him was not Quincy but a young woman with short hair.The woman was not wearing formal attire but was in casual and neutral clothes, and she looked as handsome as a real man.“Nole!” Seeing Nolan, Maizie ran straight toward him, and the three-inches high heels under her feet snapped deliberately as she pounced in Nolan’s direction.Unf
