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
Louis left without turning his head.The tears on Xyla’s face were slowly drying up. She took a step back and leaned on the wall as she slowly calmed herself down.At Blackgold…Quincy pushed the door open and walked into the office. He handed a document to Nolan and said, “I’ve checked the surveillance cameras around the bar Ms. Mayweather went last night. It’s true that a few thugs nearly raped her.”Nolan scanned through the document and put it aside. “Go find them.”Quincy nodded.After Quincy left the office, Nolan leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed his forehead. His heart had nearly leaped out of his throat when he heard from Saydie that someone had nearly poured sulfuric acid on Maisie.No matter who wanted to harm her this time, he was not going to let them go away.Soon, Quincy found the group of men through the surveillance video. Saydie tagged along with him and came to a billiard parlor, where they usually gathered for gambling.Both of them barged int
“She brought that to herself. I can’t help her. I can’t let the Hannigans get destroyed in her hands!” Nathaniel said expressionlessly.He then went upstairs without looking at both of them.Maizie’s body trembled.Had what she had done been discovered?That was the thought that surfaced in her head.…All of the socialites in Bassburgh were discussing the matter of Maizie getting chased out of the Hannigans, and the news soon reached Maisie’s ears.She already knew from Saydie that it was Maizie who had hired someone to rape Xyla and push the blame to her. By the time she learned about it, she did not know whether she should laugh or get angry.‘Perhaps this is what they used to say “When you don’t look for trouble, trouble will find its way to you”.’A female employee appeared outside and knocked on the door. “Ms. Vanderbilt, Ms. Mayweather is here to see you.”Maisie froze, and her eyes blinked."Let her in."Xyla walked into the office—gone was the arrogant and confiden
Quincy hemmed and hawed for a while before squeezing the words out of his lips. “Well, nothing happened to him. It was his teacher… H-He beat up his teacher.”Maisie took a deep breath and turned her head around to look at Nolan. “Did you hear that? That’s your son. What are you going to do about it?”Nolan cleared his throat and nodded. “Yes, it’s my fault. I’ll punish him later when we get home.”By the time Maisie and Nolan got to the school, Colton and Daisie were being scolded and criticized in the school office.Colton was not injured. Instead, they heard that the middle-aged teacher who had taken a beating had a bruise on his face, and there was a bite mark on the back of his hand. When Daisie saw Maisie, she rushed up to her and said with her mouth pouted, “Mommy!” She hugged Daisie in her arms and asked worriedly, “Can you tell me what happened to you and Colton?”She was very certain that Colton and Daisie wouldn’t simply hit their teacher. There must be a reason or
Nolan looked expressionless, but the emotional turbulence surging at the bottom of his eyes looked stern and borderline murderous. “Did you lay your fingers on my daughter?”“I… I didn’t. This is all just a misunderstanding, sir. I only wanted to give Daisie some extra lessons. It’s just that this girl was a little extreme.” Hunter tried to defend himself.Nolan’s eyes looked gloomy, and he kept on staring at Hunter without uttering a single word, but it was enough to send chills down Hunter’s spine.Colton scoffed coldly. “You were clearly bullying Daisie!”Hunter calmed himself down deep down. “Colton, what you’re saying is slandering me, your teacher!”After Hunter tried his best to defend himself and rectify his actions, Maisie, who had been silent, chuckled casually. “I don’t think this is a misunderstanding.”Hunter tried his best to cover himself. “Madam, you must be able to put forward some evidence when you say something like that.”“It’s not that I don’t have any evide
