Nolan frowned. “Does Eugene Boucher know that she’s related to the Chases?”Quincy nodded. “I believe he does. But since the Chases deny Katrina’s existence, even if he knows, she’s just an illegitimate daughter that the Chases won't take in.”To put it bluntly, Eugene was just fooling around. If Katrina could give him any benefit, he would have gotten a divorce from Samantha long ago.Quincy thought of something and said, “By the way, Mr. Goldmann, Ms. Vanderbilt is quite close to Mr. Chase’s daughter, Barbara. On the day of the gem-hunting event, other than Ms. Hill, Ms. Chase was there too.”Nolan didn’t say anything. However, he recalled that Maisie had said she didn’t like owing anything to anyone and that the Chases had taken over the case of Passion Jewelry’s Mr. Ludwig.‘Was the ‘owing’ that Maisie mentioned related to Barbara?’He didn’t care why Barbara had gotten Maisie involved with the Bouchers. He had to find out as much as possible so that no one could use Maisie.
Was the video not saved on the computer?Katrina quickly ended the call and recollected her emotions before walking back to her seat and sitting down. “I’m really glad that you would help me, but I’m guessing you have a reason for coming over?”Maisie’s hand that was holding the teacup shook, and she didn’t take a sip. She looked at Katrina. “What do you mean?”Katrina stared straight into Maisie's eyes. “I saw the news today that you’re Mr. Goldmann’s wife. Even if you’ve completed the ring, why would you have to come over personally?”She picked up the teapot and poured a cup for herself. “I’m guessing there’s something else, right?”Maisie, who was worried at first, relaxed after hearing her say that. She suddenly smiled. “I’m indeed Nolan’s wife, but I’m just the owner and designer in the company. I would personally deliver my creations even if it were to someone else.”Katrina looked at her. “Do you know who I am then?”Maisie didn’t hesitate. “I know that you’re my client.
Maisie squinted her eyes. “Eugene would never suspect Ryleigh, and Ryleigh doesn’t know that you’re the one who exposed the news. Other than both of us…”Barbara looked at her and said, “I believe you. But of course, if he suspects you, you can also sell me out.”Maisie shook her head and replied in a serious manner, “I won't break my promise to you, and as for the video, I will find a way to get it for you.”When Barbara came out of Soul and left in her car, the woman in a blue car not far away looked at the car that was moving further away and frowned. “Isn’t that Barbara?”Maizie knew who Barbara was, but she did not expect to bump into her here.‘Could it be that she knows Maisie?’In the evening, at Blackgold…The sunlight from the westbound sun spilled into the desk through the ceiling-to-floor window. Nolan was sitting in a leather chair with his head held down as he sorted through the documents in front of him. The light cast on his profile had further accentuated the pe
Nolan carried her to the table and secured her tightly in his strong arms. He pressed his forehead against hers and revealed a foxy smile. “How are you gonna pay me then?” Maisie coiled her legs around his waist and planted one kiss after another on him.“With my body? How does that sound?”“That sounds great to me,” Nolan replied in a serious manner and without any hesitation.The next morning, a ray of sunlight cast on the bed through the slit of the curtains. Maisie turned sideways but found no one beside her. Her senses were slowly returning to her when she heard the sound of keyboard tapping.She slowly cracked her eyes open and got up from the bed. She did not know when Nolan woke up. He was sitting behind his desk, typing away on his keyboard as he stared fixedly at his computer. She took a look at the clock—7:00 a.m. When Nolan lifted his cup of coffee, he raised his head and noticed that Maisie had woken up. He looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes as he asked,
When Maisie saw that Nolan had been staring at the screen, she asked sarcastically, “Do you like these videos so much?”“I’m not…” Nolan said helplessly. However, he came to a sudden stop before he could finish his sentence when he realized something. With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, he lifted her chin and said, “Why should I look at the videos when I have you?”Maisie’s face turned red.Nolan stopped teasing her and said, “Alright, let’s get back to business. Is this the video you’re looking for?”Maisie slowly turned her head over to the screen. Those disgusting videos were long gone, and the video that he clicked into was a backup clip that had been saved several years ago.She turned her body around and sat with her back straight. The person inside of the video was indeed Barbara. Although it happened several years ago, her appearance had not changed much.Barbara was being pinned on the bed by a man. She was struggling with all her might but to no avail. The v
Eugene pushed Katrina away.She was stunned and looked at him in shock. “Eugene…”Eugene pulled out a box of cigarettes and held one stick between his lips. He lit it up with a lighter and said, “Even if I want to marry you, the Bouchers won’t allow me to do so. You should be aware of that, Katty.”The smile on Katrina’s face froze. It slowly disappeared as she said, “So, you were lying to me?”Eugene lost the patience he used to have with her. “Manor, car, money, I can give you everything you want, so why are you still not satisfied yet?” Katrina’s shoulder shook. She had started a relationship with the 48-year-old Eugene at the age of 25, and she had been his "invisible" lover for five years for only one reason. She wanted to become his wife to exact her revenge plan on the Chases. But now, her plan was foiled.She became agitated as she shouted, “Are you messing with me, Eugene?”Eugene gave a slap on her cheek. She couldn’t evade in time and fell onto the floor. “You're
Samantha was stunned. She looked at him in disbelief as he grabbed her by her neck. Even though he did not exert much force, she still felt suffocated.He asked, “Did you expose the things between Katrina and me just to force me to sign the divorce papers?”Samantha laughed. “Do you think I’m the one who did it?”Eugene did not say anything in return.At the same time, a woman came in with two bodyguards. She was none other than Barbara.Katrina was stunned when she saw Barbara. “Yelena?”Yelena was Barbara’s name before changing it. No one was more familiar with Barbara’s face than Katrina.“You’ve returned?”It went without saying that Eugene knew Yelena was a member of the Chases. It was just that he did not expect her to show up here.Barbara was not afraid at all when she saw Eugene. She ignored Katrina and said to Eugene, “I heard that you're looking for the person who exposed your scandal, Mr. Boucher?”After hearing what she said, Eugene looked at her suspiciously and
Katrina would always carry her cell phone with her. She would not even let Eugene touch it because others could not know all the secrets that were stored in the cell phone.She was even thinking about disclosing the secrets stored inside this cell phone if Eugene were to really force herself into doing something that she did not want to. Eugene was not going to get by easily if he were to decide to make things difficult for her.‘But why would Barbara know about this?’Looking at Katrina’s panicked expression, Barbara believed what Maisie had said even more now.‘There’s indeed something on her phone that can be used to threaten Eugene.’Eugene was not a fool either. He had realized the minor changes in Katrina’s expression, so he requested Katrina to hand over her cell phone, but Katrina refused.It was until Barbara asked the bodyguard to subdue her on the floor. Katrina resisted fiercely. “Yelena Chase, what in the world are you trying to do? Since you know what I keep on my p
