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
“I can’t do it.” Nolan’s voice sounded hoarse. He then kissed her vigorously as things got steamier and steamier.Perhaps it was during the late autumn, the heavy rain from last night made the ambient temperature feel cold, and the yellow and wet withered leaves covered the ground, blending in with the puddles.Maisie and Nolan had just sent the two rugrats to their private elementary school, and when they were on their way to drop her off at Soul Jewelry, Maisie was so sleepy that she leaned on him and dozed off.Nolan turned his head, stared at her, and raised his hand to tidy the hair that was hanging on her forehead. “Are you still this sleepy?”“Yeah,” Maisie complained innocently, “And it’s all your fault.”He chuckled and leaned closer to her ear. “Isn’t it your fault?”Maisie lifted her head, rested her chin on his shoulder, and stared at him. “I didn’t allow you to go twice in one night.”Sure enough, Nolan, who was suffering from amnesia, was not only unrestrained but
#I vomited after learning how things operate within Soul Jewelry.#Kennedy looked at Maisie. “Zee, Soul Jewelry’s sales have dropped by 10% today, and we’ve already received a few calls asking for order cancellations and refunds.”Maisie’s eyes moved. “It seems that they’re trying to force us into submission.”“Then what are you planning to do?” Kennedy knew that there was a reason for Maisie not to disclose her identity, and it would be better if there were other ways.Maisie handed the tablet back to him and picked up the phone. “Passion Jewelry is still insisting that I must admit that I’ve plagiarized in order to save Soul Jewelry, so I think it’s time for me to fight back.”Just as the plagiarism turmoil on the Internet was gaining immense momentum, another trending hashtag, namely #PassionJewelryFakeProducts, had appeared on Google and Twitter.Passion Jewelry was exposed to cutting corners by selling adulterated gemstones at high prices to deceive their customers.
