The red-haired man dropped the cigarette butt to the ground, and the few men behind him pushed Kennedy against the wall. The food in his hands fell onto the ground while a few young men raised the bats in their hands to hit Kennedy, avoiding his head and hitting his arms and legs. Kennedy fell to the ground, blood coming out of the corner of his mouth. His arms were numb and shaking, but he didn’t beg. The red-haired man walked in front of him and stepped on his back to kick him toward the corner of the wall, then stepped hard on his palm. “Old man, you can take some beating.”He took the bat from the man behind him and pointed at his left arm. “Someone asked us to break your arm. Don’t blame me, you’re the one who offended someone.”He raised the bat high up. A car suddenly stopped outside the alley. The car lights blinded them while the sharp sound of the honk continuously echoed.The few men were afraid that someone else was coming, spat on the floor, and quickly left.
Kennedy didn’t reply, but Maisie already knew, and her face turned darker. “Alright, I’m going to put this on Passion.”She wasn’t a saint either. She would get back at them for involving someone close to her.Kenny was worried. “Zee, they’re not going just to let this go. The owner of Passion probably found out that their expose was related to Soul, so they’ll find a way to get their revenge.”She smiled. “I know what to do.”Maisie and Nolan left, but she couldn’t leave Kennedy alone in the hospital. “Nolan, can you get Quincy to send someone to stay with Uncle Kennedy?”Nolan knew that she was worried that those people would attack him at the hospital, so he called Quincy.Nolan leaned in on her when they stopped at a red light on the way back. “Just do whatever you want, Zee. Even if you make Passion go bankrupt, I won’t mind. I’ll pay for you.”Maisie laughed. “If Passion went bankrupt, wouldn’t their employees lose their jobs?”Nolan didn’t care. “They can get new jobs. P
Passion Jewelry’s owner was indeed a despicable being. He found a lawyer and sued Soul Jewelry for defamation, making the feud between them public.The netizens enjoyed the fight between the two companies very much as they wondered who would win in the end. Some of them said that Soul Jewelry had gone over their head after all the attention they were getting, but the others also said that the owner of Passion Jewelry deserved it.Sitting in her office, Maisie was looking at the data on a tablet. One of the staff members knocked on the door and walked in. “Ms. Vanderbilt, Passion Jewelry said that they’re going to sue us for defamation.”Maisie replied without lifting her head, “Let them be.”At the same time, Saydie entered with a man in her hand. She kicked him onto the floor, stunning the staff member.“Who is this guy?”“The guy who injured Uncle Kennedy.” Maisie put down her tablet and looked at the young man who was pinned on the floor by Saydie. “The owner of Passion Jewelr
Mr. Ludwig scrambled up from the floor and looked at them with his face pale. “Stop… Stop whatever you’re doing. I… I’ll—”“Do you want to call the cops, Mr. Ludwig?” Maisie interrupted him flatly, “Well, you can do that, but the only problem is that, are you able to?”“What do you mean?”Maisie rose to her feet and walked toward the frightened young man. She grabbed his collar's back and pulled him to the desk. She threw him in front of Mr. Ludwig, startling him. She then grabbed the young man’s head and forced him to look at Mr. Ludwig. “Do you know this guy?”Mr. Ludwig did not reply.Maisie looked at the young man and said, “Say it. How much did he pay you for Kennedy’s arm?”The young man replied fretfully, “$15,000…”“I’ll give you $150,000. Break one of his legs for me,” Maisie said with a devilish smile tugging at the corner of her lips.Mr. Ludwig’s face turned pale. “A-Are you crazy?”“Since you can hire someone to harm the people from Soul and even want to break h
Maisie looked at everything that happened outside through the window of the car.She said to Saydie, “Let’s go to the police station and deliver these materials to the police.”This was the reason she had not handed over the “evidence.” Even without those half-baked bodyguards, she would still ask Saydie to do the same, and now, she finally had helped Kennedy get his revenge.Even if Mr. Ludwig wanted to push all the blame to her, he wouldn’t be able to do it with these materials in her hands.Nolan’s car was stopped outside of the police station. When he saw Maisie and Saydie coming out of the police station, he rolled down the window and asked, “Have things gone out of hand?”Maisie pressed forward and leaned on the window. Blinking her eyes, she said, “Yeah, things have gone a little bit out of hand. I even asked someone to beat him up.”Nolan scratched the tip of her nose and replied, “Well, he deserves it.”“What if he finds someone to get revenge on me?” Maisie asked, pret
Kennedy lowered his head and said, “Then this is quite a hard lesson for him.”Not only did he break his leg and get hospitalized, but he also needed to face a lawsuit, and his assets would be frozen.Maisie suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, did the woman who saved you that night leave her address and name? She saved your life, so I have to thank her for you in person.”Kennedy was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “Nope, but I'll need to thank her too if I have the chance to see her again.”Maisie came out of the ward after spending some time with Kennedy. When she and Saydie were waiting for the elevator in the corridor, the door opened, and the person who came out of it was none other than Maizie.Maizie did not know Maisie, but she felt the woman standing beside Maisie was familiar. She took another two glances at her and suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Saydie’s arm and asked, “It’s you? Aren’t you Mr. Goldmann’s subordinate? What a
Maizie was certain that those socialites would laugh at her again. In fact, she was not concerned about whether or not Helios would marry her. All she cared about was how others would look at her. Besides, she wanted to find a man like Nolan who would dote on his wife.Helios was outstanding and multi-talented and had a good-looking face. However, he was an actor and needed to shoot scenes with other actresses. Nolan, on the other hand, was different. According to her investigation, Nolan rarely had any interaction with other women, and his ex-wife was the only woman he had till this day. A man who was loyal to his loved one was the most attractive.At Soul Jewelry…Maisie received a call from Quincy. He told her that it was Barbara’s father who handled the investigation of Mr. Ludwig, and she was surprised.She tried to ask Ryleigh about it through WhatsApp, but unfortunately, Ryleigh did not know about it at all. Therefore, she knew that it was not Ryleigh who had asked Barba
During the weekend…Ryleigh and Maisie were the first to arrive at Antique Street, the largest antique trading market in Bassburgh. In addition to ceramics and gems, there were also painting collections, not to mention the ancient jewelry.This area was an ancient street composed of two blocks of retro and elegant buildings. There were all kinds of exquisite antique and local specialty delicacies sold by stalls and shop lots located all over this street.Ryleigh and Maisie had already waited outside the auction building where the gem-hunting event would take place for quite some time when they saw Barbara walking towards them with two bodyguards.“I’m sorry, it must’ve been a long wait.” Barbara walked up to them and smiled apologetically. “I didn’t expect that there would be so many people here on the weekend that my car couldn’t get in. It took such a long time to find a parking space.”Maisie smiled. “It’s okay. Ryleigh and I just arrived.”Barbara nodded. “What a relief. I’ve
