Maisie saw something and pushed the gift she was holding into Nolan’s arms, “Help me take care of this. I’ll be right back.”Maisie walked into the corridor and saw Anthony speaking to an old man outside.Maisie didn’t interrupt them but instead walked over after the man left. “Mr. Topaz.”Anthony turned to look at her. “It’s you. Why aren’t you spending time with Nolan?”Maisie smiled. “I told him I came to see you.”He paused. “Can I help you?”She nodded and found an excuse. “I was a student of Northwest University, and I shared classes with your daughter Naomi. I’ve heard about you a lot earlier.”Anthony was surprised, and his eyes turned gloomy, “Oh…”“Even though I didn’t interact much with your daughter, I knew that she was a hardworking and positive person.”Anthony was moved because it had been a while since someone last spoke to him about his daughter, and this was her coursemate. “That child really was positive.”Maisie lowered her head. “I wasn’t trying to bring
Of course, they would also push her outside to get some sun, but the duration was limited.Maisie looked at the person sleeping in bed and heard the nurse sigh. “Ms. Topaz got into the accident at such a young age and has been sleeping for over 10 years. Even the doctors advised Mr. Topaz to let go.”Maisie felt complicated. She wouldn’t have known about Naomi if Louis had never mentioned her.She thought of something. “No one has visited her other than Mr. Topaz?”The nurse pondered. “Her coursemates visited at first, but it didn’t continue for long. No one else came after that.”Maisie stayed there for a while before leaving the nursing home. She got into her car and gave Ryleigh a call.Ryleigh was at the pool hall with Barbara. Maisie went there with Saydie and saw only the two of them at the table.She walked over with her arms crossed. “You’re enjoying yourselves.”Ryleigh was drinking coke, then smiled. “We’re jobless. Of course, we’re enjoying ourselves.”Barbara hit a
Maisie was quiet, thinking.Barbara supported herself with her hand on the table. “Could it be possible that the victim staged all of this?”Ryleigh looked at her, “Naomi wouldn’t use her life as a joke.”Barbara put her chin on her hand. “So Naomi was attacked, but why would the attacker pin this on you?”Ryleigh had no idea.Maisie crossed her arms, “It’s because of the admission list of the Royal Academy of Music of Zlokova. There was only one spot, so either Ryleigh or Naomi would have gotten it.”Ryleigh and Naomi had been outstanding rivals in the orchestra, but if Naomi wanted to frame Ryleigh to get in, she wouldn’t need to put her life on the line.If Naomi was attacked and Ryleigh was framed, that would be akin to killing two birds with one stone, eliminating two rivals at once. As such, their competition would be the person who benefitted.Barbara understood what Maisie was trying to say. “So it was someone else in the orchestra?”They both looked toward Ryleigh, wh
Maisie squinted her eyes, and the smile slowly faded from her face. “Do you think Louis will go back to you after Ryleigh cancels their marriage?”The emotion in Xyla’s eyes changed, but she soon calmed herself down. “I don't think it's your concern, Ms. Vanderbilt. I've been with Louis for six years. I could get him to fall in love with me in the past, and I can do the same in the future.”Xyla rose to her feet and walked up to Masie. She patted her shoulder and said, “I’m looking forward to our cooperation.”Just when Xyla walked to the door, a voice rang out behind her. “You really don’t know Louis, do you? Of course, you don’t know me either.”Xyla froze.However, she did not say anything and left in the end.At the Royal Academy of Music…Louis was teaching in the classroom. After the lesson was over, a couple of female students approached him shyly to ask for advice about the finger positions. Louis glanced at them and said, “I’ve already mentioned it before in the lesso
Maisie was amused by him. This was indeed something that would come out of his mouth after he lost his memory. Daisie chimed in and asked, “What are Internet trolls?” Maisie explained, “Like those people who scolded you and brother in the past. They’re known as the Internet trolls.”“Oh, I see,” Daisie replied.Nolan placed his hand on the back of Maisie’s hand and asked, “So you’ll let her be the spokesperson?”Maisie shrugged. “Yeah, there’s nothing I can do about it. She has come to me so many times, and it will bring bad influence to Soul if I refuse to let her be the spokesperson.”Nolan’s eyes turned cold. “Soul Jewelry is a company under the Blackgold Group right now. I’m sure there’s nothing she can do about it if you tell her that Blackgold doesn’t want her to be the spokesperson for Soul.”Not wanting Nolan to do anything stupid, Maisie hastily stopped him. “Darling, leave this to me. Don’t worry. I won’t let her have her ways.”Nolan pinched her cheek. “Alright the
Louis buttoned the button on his shirt and rose to his feet. “This meal is on me. Also, it's long over between us. No matter what the reason is for you to sign the endorsement with Soul Jewelry, I just want to tell you that nothing can affect me.”After that, without waiting for the food to be served, he went to the counter to settle the bill and left the restaurant without looking back.Xyla was left sitting alone in the seat, and her hand gripping the glass was shaking slightly.‘Nothing can affect you? Hah, are you sure about that?’The next day…Today was the shooting day for the commercial of the jewelry for couples. Since the commercial theme was "wedding," the shooting team was going to shoot the commercial at the church and the beach.The photoshoot was done with Nathan Hayes, another male artist, since this jewelry line was dedicated to couples.The shooting crew was cross-checking the script with Nathan in the booth. The producer had brought Nathan into the crew. He wa
“I guess it’s because Mrs. Goldmann is here. After all, she’s signed an endorsement contract with Mrs. Goldmann, and since her boss is here, of course, she has to act like she’s being very cooperative.”Maisie drank the water silently. It seemed to her that it was right for her to come here. If she hadn't come here herself, she wouldn't be able to know everything that Xyla had been doing behind her back.She was a famous supermodel who had signed an endorsement contract with Soul Jewelry. The magazine company that worked on the commercial had a cooperation with Soul, and the magazine company had borrowed the shooting crew from elsewhere.The fact that Soul was willing to spend money on her and the magazine company was willing to provide the cover showed Xyla's popularity and influence. Even if Xyla didn't cooperate with the shooting process, the shooting crew wouldn't dare to say anything about her. However, it was very likely that they would not accept any more Soul commercials in
Xyla was stunned.Jason then said begrudgingly, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Ms. Mayweather should be the one who got scalded?”“That’s enough, Jason.” Xyla went forward and stopped him. She did not want to make a big deal out of it.She paced toward Maisie and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Vanderbilt. It was my mistake. My assistant is just worried about me, so please don’t take everything he said to your heart.”“But it was him who said I dislike you and rejected you three times. Anyway, I’m sure you know better than anyone why I rejected you, Ms. Mayweather.”Xyla did not expect that Maisie would admit she had rejected her three times. After all, it would give people some room for imagination after what Jason had said.However, since Maisie had admitted it herself, it would become her problem instead.Maisie and Xyla were unwilling to back down. In the end, Xyla said, “I'll educate my assistant and won't let him talk nonsense in the future.”After the “farce” ended
