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
Predictably, Yorick took the money and started gambling away. He won more than $30,000 the night before and spent half the amount to pay for a bunch of friends' meals and drinks. Maisie squinted. If he used that money to start a business, she would find someone to help him out in secret. It was great when people changed after making mistakes. She could have given him a chance because this uncle of hers had never been bad to her father and her.But too bad, he just wouldn’t turn over a new leaf, so she couldn’t help him.She sent a message to her bodyguard. …After Madam Vanderbilt found out, she angrily went to the rental Yorick was staying in.“You told me that you didn’t have money, but you used the money on gambling and drinking!?”Yorick smoked a cigarette on the couch. He had a hangover and just woke up after half a day had passed. He couldn’t care less about his mother’s questioning. “My friend lent me some money to gamble. So what if I won and used it for drinks?”“You
Madam Vanderbilt almost suffocated, “Why? We don’t even have a few hundred dollars?”Her face turned pale as Hector kept quiet, “Hecky, you… used the money?”Before he could answer, Madam Vanderbilt’s anger rose to her head, “How could you spend that money? What did you spend it on?”The money was what they had gotten from selling off the hot spring hotel. There should be quite a lot left. When they had come over from their home in Coralia, they just rented a cheap motel so that they could get Stephen’s inheritance.The money was in her account, and she would keep the card with her. However, she was worried that she would lose it, so she gave it to her grandson for safekeeping.She believed that her grandson would obey her and wouldn’t spend the money, but now that it was suddenly gone, how could she not be angry?Hector wasn’t happy. “You promised that the money was for my wedding. That money is mine. I can spend it however I want!”“Hecky!” Madam Vanderbilt said in a heavy ton
Nolan was standing in the darkness, and no light, nothing could be seen.The psychologist looked at his pocket watch, took the paper Quincy handed to him, and said, “Can you see the scene of the incident?”Scene of the incident?Sweat rolled down Nolan’s brows. The psychologist hinted, “When your wife got into the car accident, you went over to the scene.”Nolan was standing in the darkness, frozen on the spot, but he could see the fire from afar. He took heavy steps toward that direction, some sounds floating around in his mind.“Zee, I’m sorry, Zee…“We don’t need to be divorced, don’t leave me…”Nolan stared at the man kneeling in front of the car, crying his heart out.His breathing stopped as a head-splitting sharp humming started, drowning out all the surrounding noises.“Nolan!”He slowly raised his head.Maisie was in front of him with a swaddle in hand and walking toward him with a smile. “We have another child. Look, he looks so much like you.”Maisie showed the
