’That man sold me out!?’Mrs. Hannigan was stunned. “Zee, what have you done?”Nathaniel shouted at her, “Your good daughter hired a man to pretend to be a drunk driver to run over someone. Is she tired of living, or does she want to go to jail?”Mrs. Hannigan was stunned when she heard what Nathaniel said. She looked at Maizie and found it hard to believe that her daughter would do something like that.‘My daughter hired a man to be a drunk driver and run over someone? How is that possible?’Maizie squeezed tears out of her eyes and explained, “No, Dad. I didn’t do that. Someone framed me—”“Framed you?” Nathaniel interrupted, cutting her short. He pointed at her and growled, “Are you saying that Mr. Goldmann is framing you? That man is in the police station right now, and he has confessed everything. He said that you’re the one who hired him, and Mr. Goldmann wants me to give him a reasonable solution. I'm sure you know what's going on in our family, right? And you still want t
Soon, a staff member from the front desk brought him a spare laptop. After Nolan sent him out, he opened up the laptop and searched for the same thing on Google. As he expected, he was able to get a lot more information from other laptops!He clicked into one of the search results with the title “Is Mr. Goldmann's wife dead?” and sucked in a sharp breath. He looked at the word “accident,” and he did not know if he should click into it or not.When Quincy passed by the front desk, a receptionist told him that Nolan had asked for a laptop from them. The staff member seemed puzzled as he asked, “Isn't there a computer in Mr. Goldmann's office?”Quincy suddenly remembered something and rushed back to Nolan’s office. He pushed the door open. “Mr. Goldmann!”However, there was no one in the office, and the laptop on the desk remained open.Quincy walked up to the laptop, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed to him that Nolan had not given up on investigating everything that had happe
‘The hatred between Barbara and Katrina has nothing to do with Ryleigh and me, but she still dragged Ryleigh and me along. It doesn’t make sense if she only wanted to talk to me about the things that happened between her and Katrina.‘No, she might not want to drag Ryleigh along at all. She only brought her along just so that I’d tag along as I’m close to Ryleigh. Barbara only revealed her secrets to me after Ryleigh left the other day, which means that she doesn’t want Ryleigh to know.’Barbara looked at Maisie for a while, then lowered her eyes and chuckled. “I know you’re a smart one.”She then confessed, “Indeed, I want to suppress Katrina through Mrs. Boucher, so I deliberately leaked some gossip to Mrs. Boucher and went to the auction venue just because I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.”Maisie’s eyes moved. “You helped me with that incident related to Mr. Ludwig, and you told me about you and Katrina deliberately too. You actually knew long ago that I wouldn’t be able
Unexpectedly, Quincy suddenly called her and asked her if Nolan had gone to the hospital to visit her.Maisie wondered for a split second and replied, “I haven’t seen him today, and I’ve been discharged from the hospital. What’s wrong?”Quincy hesitated for a moment. “Mr. Goldmann looked into what happened three years ago all of a sudden earlier today, and he’s been out since then. He hasn’t returned to the company.”Maisie stood by the window, frowning slightly. “Nolan investigated what happened three years ago?”“Yes, regarding the accident, I don’t know whether Mr. Goldmann has recalled something and that’s why he looked into the accident from three years ago. He’s been away from Blackgold for one whole afternoon already. So I thought he’s currently with you.”Maisie remained silent for a long time without uttering a single word.Maisie called Nolan several times, but no one answered. He did not return even at nightfall.Quincy also sent men to the places where Nolan usually
After facing the wet and humid sea breeze, Nolan’s body did not feel as warm as it used to be, and even his complexion looked a little cold.Nolan wrapped his arms around her body, pressed her against his chest, and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Zee, do you love me?”Maisie was astonished, then held his cool, freezing cheeks with her palms and stared at him. “Why would you ask about this all of a sudden?”He held her hand and stared affectionately at her. “I want to hear it from you.”Maisie chuckled as her eyes narrowed into two curved lines. She then moved closer to his lips and pecked them gently. “Are you satisfied with my answer?”Nolan pinched her chin with his fingers, and the strong aura wrapped her whole body up abruptly, especially around her lips.He kissed her deeply, which captivated her. Minutes had passed by when he finally let her go. The emotions in her eyes rippled underneath the layer of fog that blurred out her gaze, making it look even more mysterious and
Quincy said something beside Nicholas, and he looked slightly relieved the moment he saw Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, you… You’re finally back.”Nicholas snorted. “He’s no longer a 3-year-old boy. Do you expect him to lose his way?”Maisie lowered her head and could not help but laugh. She then walked up to Nicholas. “Dad, Noles is fine, so don’t worry.”Nicholas glared at Nolan. He had heard something from Quincy and suggested to Maisie earnestly, “Do you plan to tell him what happened to him three years ago?”Maisie smiled. “I’ve already told him everything.”Nicholas was caught off guard for a split second, then looked at Nolan and said nothing.Nolan stopped beside Maisie. “Father, no matter what happened between Zee and me three years ago, I’ll face it together with her.”Nicholas was silent for a moment before standing up. “Since you’ve decided to face it head-on, I don’t have to worry about you being troubled by those matters already. It’s time to make it public.”‘Even if his
Maisie put on a smile when Katrina got closer. “Ms. Zalensky, hello, I’m Alice, Soul Jewelry’s designer.”She flipped through the book after introducing herself. “I see that you’re here to customize a pair of couple rings. It just so happened that I needed to design a pair of rings, so I asked them to bring your appointment forward. Do you have anything that you need to do at the moment?”Katrina took a look at her. “It’s okay. I have time.”“Glad to hear that.” Maisie turned sideways. “Please come with me.”After walking into the VIP reception room, Maisie asked Katrina to take a seat first, walked to the side to look for some samples, and asked casually, “Do you have a specific design that you have in mind, and is it a wedding ring or a couple’s ring?”Katrina put her handbag aside and answered calmly, “Wedding ring.”“I see.” Maisie’s eyes moved. She took out a sample drawing, walked to the table, sat down, and placed the designs in front of her. “These are all the wedding rin
Katrina left the address and left Soul. Maisie kept the address. She had been trying to find a way to get close to Katrina, but Katrina ended up approaching her instead. She had a video that could be used to blackmail Barbara. Since she had agreed to help Barbara, everything would be sorted once she got her hands on Katrina’s computer.If they could make the ring, it would be the best time. Katrina returned to Stanford Manor. The maid said that Eugene had only made a call and talked about the people who exposed her identity, asking her not to worry.After hearing that, Katrina’s face dropped. Ever since the incident, Eugene had never shown up there or even called her. How could she not worry?Thinking about that made her look more worried. She had been with Eugene for five years and was just a mistress, so her only source of revenue was the money from the Chases. She wouldn’t let this mess her up. …Maisie spent the entire afternoon trying to pick the best materials. Even i
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
