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
‘He might have promised that he would investigate the incident meticulously, but if Joe hadn’t come over just now, I’m afraid that he would definitely come up with something to cover up the incident again.’Nolan had seen through all of this long ago, but he stood up since the principal had already made him a promise. “Then I’ll wait for the school to provide me with a satisfactory answer later on.”The principal bowed and nodded in his drenched shirt. “Don’t worry, Mr. Goldmann. I’ll be on it right after this.”Nolan stayed behind to deal with this matter while Maisie took the children away from the principal’s office first.Colton kept on complaining about the teacher from the beginning to the end, so Maisie lifted her hand to rub his head. “Mommy is very happy that you were able to protect your sister, but hitting your teacher is really not the right thing to do.”Having said that, she leaned over, stared at him, and flicked her fingers against his forehead. “And not only did y
Ryleigh was a little surprised when she heard that Joe had stopped practicing medicine and had become an English teacher. “He actually changed his career path?”Maisie fidgeted the pen in her hand. “I only found out about it recently.”Ryleigh leaned on the back of the couch, “It’s been a long time since I last contacted Joe. Why don’t we fix a date and time for the three of us to get together someday?”Maisie looked at her. “Then we’ll still have to resolve your issue first. Didn’t you mention that Louis has found new evidence?”Speaking of this, Ryleigh picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms. “Yeah, he’s found something.”Maisie propped her hand against her chin and let off a faint smile. “Then you have to show him your appreciation. He’s out there running around and investigating the little things just for you, so to be honest, I won’t believe anyone that says that he doesn’t have feelings for you.“Ryleigh’s expression looked weird. “Does he have feelings for me? Is t
