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
“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
