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
Ryleigh looked toward her and opened her mouth but wasn’t sure if she should say it. At the Royal Academy of Music…Chenney left her office building and looked around the corridor, then took out her phone to check the messages someone had sent to her.She saw something which made her expression change.“Ms. Campbell.”The sudden voice made her jump. She looked up and saw that it was Louis. She put her phone down, hiding the shock in her eyes. “Yes?”Louis’ expression was ambiguous, “Did you leak this?”Channey was stunned and tried really hard to cover her panic. “What do you mean?”“There's no need to hide. You thought you did this perfectly but forgot that people could easily find out by just following the trail.”Chenney’s face turned pale again, and she staggered backward. “I… I was just—”“When you met Ryleigh, were you worried that she would come back and take away everything you have?”Louis exposed her without a hint of mercy, ignoring her pale face. “You know ver
That was enough to prove that Naomi hadn’t been pushed down the stairs.Maisie thought about something when Nolan lightly kissed her forehead and ran his fingers over the corner of her eyes, then gently said, “That was enough proof.:She looked up. “But does Mr. Topaz know?”Nolan squinted and said after a long time, “I’ll talk to him.”“Thank you, dear.” Maisie hugged his waist, pressing her face to his firm and warm chest. Nolan kissed her ear and smiled. “If you really want to thank me, you should perform well tonight.”The night covered the city. The thick darkness was like ink dyed by the colors of the neon lights. Xyla sat at the bar and drank. After Ryleigh’s incident was exposed, there was nothing she could ‘threaten’ Maisie with anymore. She had personally seen that Maisie would ignore every piece of bad news. Even for this incident, even if Maisie hadn’t done anything, Nolan had acted, and even Louis had helped.If Xyla had been the one who exposed the informa
Xyla staggered for a while, lowered her head, and said apathetically, “Thank you.”Maizie walked up to the bed. “I have already caught one of them. I didn’t expect that Maisie would be so evil. She actually sent someone to you to destroy your chastity.”Xyla was stunned.Jason chimed in and asked, “What do you mean, miss? Are you saying Mrs. Goldmann sent those people to violate Ms. Mayweather?”Maizie had not expected that she would be so lucky to run into them and escape the disaster. Therefore, she had decided to play along, saved her, and pushed all the blame to Maisie.“If you don’t believe me, I can bring that guy over here. You can ask him whatever you want,” Maizie said as she looked at Xyla’s expression.After a short while, she continued. “I believe I’ve warned you about Maisie, Ms. Mayweather. She’s cunning and evil. She will never let go of anyone who has pissed her off.”Xyla fell silent.…The next day, Maisie went to the Lucas family's villa. She handed the “evi
Maisie was stunned for a while before she nodded.She followed the police officer into the interrogation room. She answered all of the questions from the police officers honestly. Since police officers felt that she was not lying based on her expression and there was no way Jason could justify his claims, she was released.As soon as she came out of the police station, she saw Nolan’s car outside and figured that it must be Saydie who had informed him.Nolan got out of the car. He was wearing a black three-piece suit that made him look upright and serious. The wind had tousled his hair. There were harsh lines running down either side of his face, and his gaze was cold.When Maisie stopped in front of him, he grabbed her so tightly into his arms that veins were bulging out of the back of his hand. He kissed the top of her head deeply without saying anything.Maisie buried her face in his chest and said, “I’m sorry, Nolan.”His heart was pumping fast, and it was only then Maisie re
