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
’Don’t hate me!’“Nolan!”A voice dragged him from this muddy subconscious back to reality. He slowly saw the person in front of him. It wasn’t the Zee that was filled with hatred, but the Zee who loved him and was worried about him.Maisie put her hands on his cold face and leaned on him. “Are you alright, Nolan? You’re scaring me.”Nolan pulled her into his arms. His fingers that held her shoulders tightened, feeling her warmth, the warmth that really existed, and the coldness in his heart slowly faded away.Quincy drove to the Goldmann mansion while Nolan lay on Maisie’s shoulder all the way. Maisie turned to look at the man leaning on her. Quincy had told her that he seemed to have been startled after the psychologist gave him some psychological suggestions.Something that his subconscious mind rejected, avoided, something about the incident…Was he rejecting the part about their child?Maisie had talked about it in Stoslo, but she didn’t notice anything from Nolan’s expr
Nolan turned around and hugged her face to face. He fell asleep soon after that.The next day, at Soul Jewelry… Maisie received the information that the bodyguard provided and found that the Cindy that Hector had mentioned was Cindy Benette, a server in a club at Bassburgh.She handed the information to Saydie. “Look into this woman at the club.”Saydie nodded and left the office with documents in hand. Not long after that, Kennedy walked in. “Maisie, Madam Vanderbilt called the front desk.”Maisie paused and raised her eyebrows. “Is this about money?”Kennedy nodded. “She is admitted to the hospital but can’t pay the bills. She’s using her identity as your grandmother to get the front desk to pay for her.”Maisie was quiet.Madam Vanderbilt had chosen to put her pride aside now that she was old. She smiled. “If she calls again, let the front desk tell her that Soul isn’t responsible for paying for any of her bills, and we’re not obligated to take care of this lonely old wom
In the afternoon, Cindy left the apartment in a fancy dress. She seemed to be talking to someone through the phone, and she sounded chirpy.A black car stopped in front of her, and two bodyguards in black suits got out of the car. “Are you Ms. Benette?” Cindy was stunned. She raised her guard and asked, “You are—”“Our madam wishes to see you.”The bodyguards opened the door, and the alarm in her head blared. Just when she turned around, Saydie suddenly appeared behind her, grabbed her hair, and dragged her into the car. Cindy was terrified. She raised her head and found out that the woman sitting beside her not only had an elegant and noble air about her, but she also had pretty looks.After Saydie and the others went back into the car, the bodyguard then drove the car away.Cindy was shaking, and her lips and teeth were trembling. “I… I don’t know you, and I’ve never offended you before. Where are you guys taking me to?”Maisie turned her head around to look at her. “Calm d
