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
The incident between Ryleigh and Naomi was brought up during this crucial time. Maisie immediately called Ryleigh, but her phone was switched off. Nolan hugged her from behind. “What’s wrong?”Maisie turned to look at him, “Naomi and Ryleigh’s incident was brought up again. This affects Ryleigh a lot. I’m worried that…”Nolan frowned. He immediately picked up his phone and called Quincy to ask him to look into this.He turned her around to face him, gently touched her face, and said, “Don’t worry, let me handle this.”Maisie didn’t suspect Xyla about this. She wouldn’t want to offend her and had no reason to do this.The Hills were angry once the incident from the past resurfaced and immediately took down the trending topic, but someone bought the account and kept posting about it.Some netizens started joining the conversation, but most of them felt that what the Hills were doing was trying to cover it up.Quincy looked into it for two days before he found anything, so he b
“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
