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
“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
