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
However, Xyla calmed down almost instantly upon thinking she still possessed a piece of Ryleigh’s dark history.‘If Maisie really cares about her friends, then I won’t end up as the sole person who suffers a defeat in this incident.’…Maisie sat in the office, scrolling through the trending posts on Twitter and Google, and the corners of her lips were slightly lifted.‘It seems that the money that I’ve spent didn’t go to waste. The article has already dominated the list of trending posts.’After a while, she saw the Instagram story published by Xyla, which clarified that the headlines were non-existent and that netizens should not believe in them.‘This Instagram story is enough to prove that Xyla is still not prepared to offend me completely.’A female employee hurried in. “Ms. Vanderbilt, Soul Jewelry has made its way onto Google Trends again!”Maisie raised her gaze. “I’m well aware of that. Tell our employees just to ignore those articles. I’ll deal with it myself.”Her c
The fluorescent light shone on him from above his head, and he looked warm and sexy as if a layer of filter had been applied.Maisie stepped into the kitchen and hugged him from behind. “Have you taken a shower yet?”The scent on his body smelled refreshing and pleasant—it was a fragrance that one would have after taking a bath, and it smelled very soothing.He tilted his head and glanced at her. “The kitchen smells just like an oven now. Go out and wait for me. Dinner will be ready soon.”She chuckled as her fingers fiddled with all parts of his body. “I really didn’t expect my husband to be capable of becoming a househusband.”Nolan turned down the gas, turned around, hauled her into his arms, lifted her, and placed her on a clean counter. “You bad girl, I’m making you dinner, and here you are seducing me.”Maisie leaned back slightly while wrapping her arms around his neck as he leaned closer. “I’ve brought you some pre-dinner snacks.”Nolan raised his eyebrows and pecked her
At this time, Xyla received a text message on her cell phone.[Ms. Mayweather, are you interested in joining forces to deal with Soul?]Xyla squinted her eyes as she was baffled by the text message.[Who are you?]The other party replied almost instantly.[Meet me at Thumbs-Up Cafe at noon if you want to know the answer to this question.]At noon, Xyla departed from Royal Crown and drove toward Thumbs-Up Cafe.The other party acted so enigmatically that it had piqued Xyla’s curiosity too. She happened to be curious about who the other party was and what conflict it had with Soul.Arriving at the cafe, she pushed the door open, and a woman sitting on the second floor waved at her with a smile.Xyla came upstairs, came to the place where the woman was waiting, and took off her sunglasses. “Are you the person who sent the text to me?”Maizie lifted her hand. “Ms. Mayweather, please take a seat. Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Maizie Hannigan.”Xyla pulled out a c
Xyla looked at the photo silently.Maizie leaned slightly forward. “Do you believe in what I just said now? Take a look at this, the scandal surrounding Soul has been trending on Google Trends and Twitter for two days now, and it hasn’t been taken down. However, given Mr. Goldmann’s influence, it shouldn’t be difficult for Soul to get its name off the list, right?”At this moment, on the other side of the city…Maisie completely ignored the article that was still trending on the Internet but was still investigating the incident that Ryleigh had taken all the blame.Barbara asked them out to eat at the restaurant, saying that she had found some clues.While waiting for her, Ryleigh scrolled through her cell phone, surfing through Twitter. She then raised her gaze and stared at Maisie, who was eating elegantly.“Zee, you really are a bold one. Aren’t you afraid of being painted as the target of the Internet by putting up such a self-deprecating article regarding your company?”Mai
After saying that, the guard took a better look at Ryleigh.Probably because she was petite, and her bare and beautiful face made her look pure and younger, she looked as if she was a Saydie or an 18-year-old girl, no matter how the guard looked at her.Thus, the guard asked Louis, “Is this… your niece?”Ryleigh burst into laughter and bent down on the spot while giving the guard a thumbs-up before Louis could even react to the question. “Sir, you have impeccable eyesight!”Louis’s expression dimmed. He then grabbed her arm and brought her in.He was taking huge steps, and Ryleigh was being dragged along the way by him, struggling to keep up. “Can you slow down?”Louis slowed down. “Shouldn’t you blame your short legs for this?”Ryleigh wrestled her wrist out of his hand upon hearing this. “Yes, I do have short legs. Hasn’t that ex-girlfriend of yours who’s famous for her long legs returned to Zlokova?”Louis looked at her and did not answer her directly but asked instead, “Why
It was Maizie.Maizie looked like she was helping but was actually going against Maisie. Xyla knew that splashing coffee was for herself.Once Maise could find evidence, Xyla would be in trouble. She logged into Twitter to clear up the news, and not long after that, Soul’s official account replied to the news with “Made up”. Xyla saw Soul’s reply and felt complicated. She had been in the entertainment industry for a very long time, and if she wasn’t good at sniffing out problems, she wouldn’t have lasted that long.Maisie had returned her gift to ‘warn’ her. It seemed that splashing the coffee and Ryleigh’s news made her raise her guard.Xyla didn’t believe everything Maizie said because she looked into her after that. Maizie had been harassing Nolan and had started a rumor, but his wife pushed her away. Nolan had even taken down the Hannigans’ chain business, so she was nowhere close to Maisie. Maizie had been under the impression that the article which could hurt Soul was
Xyla’s hand that was placed on the table balled into a fist. “But you can persuade her.”“Even if I could convince Ryleigh to cancel her wedding with Louis, would he agree?”Her question caught Xyla’s tongue, but Maisie slowly continued. “I think you’ve had a discussion with Louis about this. What did he say? Did he agree?”Xyla was still quietly looking at Maisie without saying a word.Maisie played with the cutlery on the table. “Relationships shouldn’t be forced. If you’re confident that Louis will fall for you, you shouldn’t put so much effort into someone.”Maisie pressed her lips together and saw that there were new messages, all from Nolan. “I have to have dinner with my husband. Would you like to join us?”Xyla paused, then smiled. “No thanks.”Maisie got up and walked to the doorway. Xyla suddenly asked, “Were you the one who arranged for the trending article?”Maisie turned around and looked at her. “I’m just telling you through my actions that Soul has never been afr
