“What is happening at Vaenna? I let you take over so that you can learn to manage a company. Where did all the resources I gave you go?”Stephen tossed the folder onto the desk. The account director had given him a call which almost made him implode. They had lost $900,000!Mr. Goldmann had put in $1,600,000, but they had already lost $900,000 of it!?Leila walked to Willow and looked at Stephen. “Dear, how could you blame Willie for that? You know that she doesn’t know anything about the jewelry business. She can’t be held accountable if she’s conned.”“I wanted her to learn. What have you learned all these years?” Stephen yelled.Willow held her fists. She had gone through enough before her father chewed her up and couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing how bad her daughter was looking, Leila immediately said, “If you think that Willie didn’t do a good job, why not get Zee back to Vaenna? She’s the top jewelry designer. Vaenna would make a fortune with her around!”“Isn’t she in Va
Maisie slowly looked up and saw the camera with a red blinking light in the corner. Had she been played all along, or did she just fall into this trap?“Are you looking for the results?”The emergence of a shadow shot chills down Maisie’s spine. She looked at Nolan, who was standing outside the door holding a different envelope with horror written all over her face. Nolan had received the report from Coralia half an hour ago and had seen the results. The red words spelled out ‘DNA is a match’. It was confirmed that Waylon and Daisie were his children. It had been six years. Not only did he have two children, but they were also close to him. If he didn’t look into it and found the truth, how could he have found out who the woman actually was?“You’re really clever. You were the one who switched the report, right?”“I don’t know what you mean.” Maisie was trying very hard to calm down. That wasn’t the time to panic. Nolan walked toward her and squinted. “You’re still pretending
Willow was mad with jealousy!“Nolan!”Nolan slowly let go of Maisie, and his expression turned dark. Hah, that was why this woman kissed him back.He turned and looked at Willow. “Why are you here?”Maisie rubbed her lips, wiping off her lipstick which smudged on her face, making her look provocative.She held onto Nolan’s collar, raised her brows, and smiled. “You need more practice on kissing.”Nolan’s face turned dark. Was that a complaint?Maisie was getting ready to leave but froze when Stephen suddenly showed up behind Willow. Stephen’s face went pale upon seeing her looking ‘messy’ while being in the same room as Nolan and his bleeding lip. “Maisie, how… how could you—” Stephen’s rage got to his head, and he fainted and collapsed on the floor.“Dad!”Upon seeing Willow run to her father’s side, Maisie’s feet felt as though they had been glued to the spot where she was standing. …Maisie leaned against the wall of the hospital corridor, looking lost. She would
Maisie left the ward without looking back after saying so.Willow dashed out of the ward and caught up to her when she arrived at the elevator entrance. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you stop right there!”Maisie turned sideways and glared at her. “Why should I? Just because you couldn’t talk me down, you deliberately brought our father to Blackgold Group to ask me to return to Vaenna?”‘Speaking of it, Dad was so angry that he fainted. Doesn’t it have anything to do with her?’Willow gnashed her teeth bitterly. “Dad was the one who suggested that he should come along to persuade you, and you’re the one who provoked him until he passed out!“Maisie, in Dad’s eyes, Nolan and I are a couple. So you’d better act sensibly and leave Blackgold. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that two little b*stards of yours— Ugh!”Maisie had grasped Willow’s neck and pushed her against the wall. Her eyes were terribly cold and stern. “I dare you to try!”“Do you think that I don’t have the guts to do so? I double d
Nolan snorted. “You can take that as a threat if you think it can be counted as one. After all, do you still think you can escape me under my nose?”Maisie was rendered speechless.The next day…Maisie stepped into the company as punctual as always and suddenly saw Nolan and Quincy coming in her direction from around the corner.Nolan’s lips were still showing symptoms that they had been bitten, and there was a small scab in the wound. It was conceivable that she had reacted mercilessly yesterday.She wanted to avoid seeing them, but it was already too late.Maisie looked away as she did not want to think about what had happened yesterday and smiled indifferently. “Good morning, Mr. Goldmann.”Nolan stared at her for a moment and opened his thin lips and pearl-white teeth. “I thought you would avoid me.”“We work under the same roof, so meeting each other from time to time is inevitable. Plus, I didn’t do anything immoral and shameful, so why should I avoid you?” Maisie gave of
After a few minutes of pure suffering, all the staff members finally went out. Maisie raised the hand that Nolan was holding indifferently and asked with a somewhat ironic smile on her face, “Mr. Goldmann? Do you have cravings for such exciting agendas?”Nolan looked at her for a moment, his eyes slightly cold. “Then do you want to experience something more exciting?”Maisie’s expression changed slightly.‘This man wouldn’t...’Nolan turned around abruptly, stretched out his hand, and leaned it on the wall, wrapping her in his arms.“Mr. Goldmann, don’t push your luck!” Maisie gnashed her teeth, raised her legs, bent her knees, and got into an offensive posture, but Nolan grabbed her raised leg with his big hand instantly and pressed it against her body. This posture that the two were in was the pinnacle of a shameful stance!“Nolan Goldmann, you’d better let me go!” There was a hint of resentment in Maisie’s eyes.Nolan’s eyes drooped slightly, and after the elevator stopped, h
Senior designer of Hailey & Co. Jewelry, Freddy Fuller.He also knew that Willow was Nolan’s girlfriend, so this made her very happy deep down.‘Yes, everyone in Bassburgh knows that Nolan has a girlfriend. Hailey & Co. Jewelry is such a huge company, and Dad will definitely once again think highly of me if Vaenna can collaborate with them.’After talking for about ten minutes, Fred handed her several design sketches. “These are the jewelry that I designed, and it’s also the theme of my creation, “The Light of Life”. This is my first time trying to design jewelry with a retro Gothic design language.”Willow looked at the design drawings with a surprised expression.‘If Vaenna had had such designs, it wouldn’t have been suffering until now! Heh, does Maisie have this ability? Freddy can still beat her to the ground!’Willow went to her father after she signed a contract with Freddy to show him the contract.Stephen looked at Willow with admiration when he knew that she could get
‘So it’s related to this matter.’Nolan’s eyes could not help droop.‘Not only does Maisie deny that the woman from six years ago was her, but she also watches out for me and resists me. So all these were because of Willow?‘No wonder she despised and abhorred Willow so much at the beginning. She was framed by Willow back then. If the hotel manager didn’t get the wrong room card that night, I’m afraid that the man Maisie slept with that night would be Sergio Baldwin.’Nolan’s eyes became a little cold upon thinking of this.“By the way, Sir, I’ve also investigated the incident in which Ms. Vanderbilt’s drink was spiked at the lounge that night. Ms. Willow was the person who took her there, and the person whom they met there was Sergio Baldwin.”Quincy knew that Nolan seemed to think that Sergio played only an insignificant role, but Quincy had investigated Sergio’s affairs out of caution.Everything would have been kept hidden if Quincy did not look into Sergio, but he was shock
