“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
“Mr. Goldmann, it seems that Ms. Hannigan has her eyes on you. You have to think of a way, or else Ms. Vanderbilt will surely get jealous again,” Quincy reminded him.Nolan narrowed his eyes. “Don’t they know that I have a wife?”Having said that, Nolan stared directly at Quincy. “Did we get married secretly and didn’t make our relationship public?”Quincy was stunned.‘Mr. Goldmann has forgotten what happened three years ago. Mr. Goldmann Sr. suppressed the news that was unfavorable to Mr. Goldmann back then, and the Blackgold employees were forbidden to mention “Ms. Vanderbilt” in front of Mr. Goldmann.‘Of course, the person who issued the ban back then was Mr. Goldmann himself. But does he still know about these details?’Quincy was embarrassed as he tried to explain it to Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, don’t overthink when it comes to this matter. What Ms. Vanderbilt cares about is your wellbeing. That’s why she chose not to disclose your relationship update to the public herself.”
The funniest detail was that these words actually came out of Maizie’s own mouth. She had told one of her best friends about the change in her plan, and that best friend of hers was in the WhatsApp group chat that Ryleigh was in too. And that was how Maizie’s chat history was shared among the group chat participants and why Ryleigh was struggling to catch her breath at this moment.Maisie shook her head helplessly. “That group chat of yours is really messed up.”“That’s because Maizie has a bad reputation in that particular circle. Those people seem to have a good relationship with her, but they actually complain about her quite frequently in private.” After saying that, Ryleigh propped her head on her hands and blinked. “I’m just an invisible witness, and I almost don’t speak in the group. I only lurk among them from time to time in order to get my hands on some gossip that even news reporters can’t find out.”Maisie’s curiosity was piqued, so she picked up her cell phone and raise
Maisie held his hand and clasped his fingers tightly. They were deeply in love, she looked as captivating as a full moon, and her gaze looked extremely enchanting as she approached his ear and asked, “Are we still going to take our wedding photos?”Nolan hugged her tightly with his glowing arms, kissing the corner of her lips as sweat droplets rolled down from his temples and dripped onto the corner of her eyes as if she had gotten in touch with a fiery teardrop.“Didn’t you tell me back then that you didn’t like it?”Maisie murmured, “Who told you that I didn’t like it?”He looked down at her as the veins on his arms bulged, while Maisie started to go short of breath, and her sentence became discontinuous. “Since when did I tell… Tell you that I didn’t like it?”Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, kissed her auricle, and chuckled softly. “Okay, we’ll start shooting at dawn.”The next day, at the Wedding Palace…Maisie was sitting in the dressing room doin
