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
When they entered the ward, Yorick was there as well. He was sitting on a chair, and the bodyguards behind him had their hands placed on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to escape.Madam Vanderbilt was dumbfounded when they brought Cindy into the ward. When Cindy knelt on the floor, she asked, “Who is—”Before she could finish her question, Saydie chimed in and said expressionlessly, “She's the Cindy that your grandson speaks of. Anyway, she'll explain everything to you herself.”“Cindy?” Madam Vanderbilt turned her head around and looked at the woman again. Cindy crawled over to her bed and cried out loud, “I’m sorry, Madam Vanderbilt. Please forgive me. I shouldn’t have cheated Hector. Can you please ask them to let me go?”It was only then that Madam Vanderbilt realized the woman before her was the one Hector had given the money to. She instantly flew into a rage and pushed her away. “You still have the nerve to beg me? Where is my grandson's money?”Cindy fell to
Maisie did not deny.“Yeah,” she smiled, “I’m the one who gave you the $150,000 too. You didn’t tell Grandma about it, did you?”Madam Vanderbilt turned her head around and looked at Yorick.Yorick did not say anything, meaning that Maisie was telling the truth. “It's none of my business if you want to go back to your mother or your son. After all, it's up to you how you want to use the money,” Maisie said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, her gaze cold. “Of course, if you were willing to spend that money the right way, I may still be able to give you a chance. But unfortunately, you're a lame duck, and giving you more money won't do any good.”Yorick clenched his fist and lowered his head in embarrassment.Madam Vanderbilt looked at Maisie and said, “Zee, since you’re still alive and you’re willing to help your uncle and cousin—”“Grandma, please don’t get the wrong idea,” Maisie interrupted her. “I didn't help them for nothing. I'm doing this so that you can see
Helios removed his sunglasses and put them in the pocket in front of his chest. “I suppose you don’t need me to introduce myself, right?”Nolan knew who he was and said, “Seems like you’re doing pretty well in showbiz.”Helios chuckled and replied, “I didn’t believe it when someone told me that you’ve lost your memories.”He walked toward the couch and sat down. Quincy then brought him a cup of tea.Nolan stood up and came to the couch. He undid the button on his shirt and sat down as well.“Well, it’s rare for you to come and see me, so what do you have for me?”“There indeed is something I need your help with,” Helios said as he took a sip of tea. “I believe you’ve gotten in touch with Nathaniel before, right?” Just when Nolan was thinking who Nathaniel was, Quincy leaned forward and reminded him, “It’s Mr. Hannigan, you met last time.”Nolan squinted his eyes and let out a meaningful smile, “What’s wrong? Are the Hannigans after you?”Helios did not reply. Nolan added ma
Helios offered Nolan a smile and did not say anything.Quincy did not know what to say. It seemed to him that Nolan would lose his ability to think rationally when it came to Maisie.At Soul Jewelry…Saydie informed Maisie that Yorick and Madam Vanderbilt had brought Hector back to Coralia.The police were in the process of helping them to get the money back from Cindy. Although they currently could only get a few thousand dollars back, they had put a travel restriction on Cindy, so she couldn't run away from them.Maisie did not say anything.Madam Vanderbilt started behaving nicer after the incident. At her age, even if she still wanted to keep causing them trouble, she wouldn't have the chance to do so either. Her grandson had spent all her money and had got swindled. Her son refused to acknowledge her, so of course, she wouldn’t have the time and mind to think about Stephen’s assets.#Alice plagiarizes Zora#The headline that popped up on Facebook’s new feed nearly made M
“You…”“Men like gentle and lovable women. A shrew like you would probably never get any man to take a fancy to you.” Having said that, Maizie then mocked Ryleigh. “If you weren’t the daughter of the Hills, a family that has always had a connection through marriages with the Lucases, Mr. Lucas wouldn’t be so unlucky to have to marry you.”Ryleigh’s expression turned gloomy instantly. She raised her arm and was about to slap Maizie.Maizie lifted her cheek, welcoming her palm without fear.However, Ryleigh’s arm movement was intercepted before the impact.Louis dragged Ryleigh behind him and glared at her. “Won’t you feel ashamed of yourself to act against her in front of so many people?”The people around them were glancing in their direction as if they were all waiting for a climax. If that slap landed, someone would definitely take pictures and spread them online.But Ryleigh was not reconciled and flung his hand off her arm. “Who are you to tell me what to do?”“Mr. Lucas, t
Ryleigh’s cheeks turned warm in an instant. She took a few steps backward in fright, turned around, and ran away.She was still in a state of panic when she arrived at Maisie’s office. She slumped on the couch as soon as she entered the door as her legs were weak.Maisie came out of the workshop, saw how Ryleigh looked blank and out of her mind, and smiled. “What’s happened here?”Ryleigh sat up immediately and put the coffee on the table for her. “I… I bought this for you.”Maisie went to the table to pick up the coffee and could not help but realize that Ryleigh was stammering when she was talking. “What happened? Why are you so petrified?”“I-It’s nothing huge. It’s just… It’s just that I ran into Maizie Hannigan when I went to buy coffee, and I almost quarreled with her.”Maisie grabbed the coffee, walked to her desk, and sat down. “That’s it?”Ryleigh pursed her lips. “Yeah.”“Then why do you look so flushed?”“It’s very hot!” Ryleigh miffed instantly.Maisie noticed her
However, most netizens believed that it was not a case of plagiarism. Even if the design looked the same, there were still other personal touches, so this case could not be defined as plagiarism. They even asked the group of people who claimed that this was plagiarism for the reason they thought that was the case.The top executives of Passion Jewelry probably realized that not only did their plan not suppress their competition’s chance to flourish, but it was encouraging its growth. Thus, they wanted to remove the article from Google Trends.But what they did not expect to see was that they could not remove it as someone had done something to the trending of the news article with a lot of money. And when they tried to double the price that the other party offered, the other party would double their current offering too. They were now spending a lot of money to reverse something they had done in the past.Maisie sat in front of the computer and looked at the company’s Twitter accoun
