In the ward…Maisie leaned against the wall and looked at Nolan, who was reading a book with the kids.Daisie mentioned that Helios had come to visit her father a few days ago, and Nolan only responded with a faint smile.Judging from Nolan’s demeanor, which felt the same as back then when he reacted to Daisie’s comment about Helios, Maisie knew that Nolan had regained his memory.The two children still had to go to school, so Nicholas came back to pick them up and told Nolan to rest well.The two children bade their father goodbye and left with Nicholas.Maisie was also about to leave the ward too when Nolan stopped her.She stood still behind the door.Noticing that the figure behind her was approaching, she did not turn around but only withdrew her hand that was already holding onto the doorknob.Nolan hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Are you still angry?”Maisie did not say anything.He then pecked her ear with his warm lips. “I won’t lie to y
Maisie got out of the car, stood in the yard, and realized that weeds had been growing all over the flower beds in the courtyard.The door lock had fingerprint access set on it. She stepped into the living room after unlocking the door with her fingerprint. All the furniture was covered with a dustproof cloth, and the walls and chandeliers all looked brand new.Nolan’s phone call came through at this time, and she picked it up. “You seem very free, huh, Mr. Goldmann?”“Where are you?”Maisie opened the French window’s sash. “Take a guess.”Nolan smirked as he stepped into the courtyard. “Do you really want me to guess?”Maisie stood in the backyard, staring at the seascape in the distance. “You’re so smart. You should be able to guess it.”He snorted.Maisie was astonished when she heard the physical footsteps that came through the call, and they were very clear.A silhouette overshadowed her head silently, and a slender, tall figure of a man was reflected in the windowpane.
Katrina laughed along with him.After leaving Eugene, her life had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the difference between the two lifestyles was so great that she found it extremely difficult to accept it.She was unwilling to go back to living the life she had before meeting Eugene. And because she could not appear in front of Eugene and had to hide from the public, the Glitz Club was the only place that would take her in.She knew that Eugene’s wife had divorced him, but she did not expect his ex-wife to be living in the same condominium as her.‘Could it be that Eugene didn’t lose half his assets and properties during the divorce procedures, and the woman agreed to leave him without getting anything from him?‘D*mn it! If the scandal between Eugene and me hadn’t been exposed, and Eugene still didn’t know about the secrets that I had on my cell phone, why would I need to stay here and throw myself at these old and filthy men for a living?‘Those videos ended all possibi
‘Wait a minute… If that’s so…‘Back then, she brought my appointment forward when I had an appointment with Soul Jewelry. She must have already known who I was back then.’In a trance, Katrina thought of the delivery that had come to her door.‘Maisie's assistant left halfway to go to the bathroom, which makes the whole thing seem way strange.’Now that she thought about it, she finally understood that they had always been on the same side!At the Blue Bay villa…Nolan was about to depart for the company. He stopped at the entrance, buttoning his cuff with one hand while asking Maisie to tie his tie for him.Maisie muttered in dissatisfaction, “You deliberately tore my clothes again. Do you really want me to get to work naked?”Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist, looked down at the shirt that she had on, which belonged to him, and rubbed her ears. “You can wear mine, can’t you?”“I’m serious. I have to go out today.” Maisie evaded his body.Seeing that she was in a hurry
It looked more like they were arguing about something.Maisie could not hear what they were arguing about clearly, but the two of them seemed to be moving very vigorously. The woman then pushed the man away and gave him a slap.When the man held her hand and said something, the woman pulled her hand away from his palm and turned her head. She looked as if she was wiping her tears away.The woman turned to face the stone beam in front of the observation deck. Maisie saw her face in an instant, and her hand that was holding the teacup trembled.‘Isn’t that Helios’ mother?’Maisie stopped breathing for a few seconds as she could not believe what she had seen.‘Helios’ mother and a man who doesn’t look like her husband. Who’s that man? The two of them don’t look like they’re on a tryst, but the man just hugged her, and Mrs. Boucher had obviously cried. Judging from all that, all I can say is that the relationship between those two doesn’t look simple.’Realizing that she had been di
Madam Nera was stunned.Only then did the man notice Maisie who was standing beside him. “This is…”“She’s my god-granddaughter, Maisie Vanderbilt.” Madam Nera looked at Maisie and introduced her. “Zee, this is Mr. Tristan Knowles. You can address her as your uncle. He’s my junior.”Maisie nodded at him. “Nice to meet you, Uncle Tristan.”Tristan nodded back.He and Madam Nera went to the side to talk to each other while Maisie stood in front of the car and waited for them. She glanced in the direction of the two of them.‘It seems that Mr. Knowles isn’t from Zlokova, and judging from the way he carries himself and how he dresses, he’s either a rich man or a man of prestigious status. As for his relationship with Mrs. Boucher…’Madam Nera turned to look at her and said, “Zee, you should go back first. You don’t have to wait for me.”Maisie smiled, nodded, and then got into the car with Saydie.At the Boucher manor…Christina passed by Helios’ room and was shocked when she hea
Barbara sat down and ordered a latte. “Did Katrina come looking for you?”Maisie responded with an affirmation. “She’s still in Bassburgh, and it seems that she’s avoided everyone’s sight. She might have come to me because she’s found something.”Barbara smiled. “I’m the one that she’s looking for.”“She’s looking for you?” Maisie paused.Barbara received the coffee from the waiter and took a sip from it. “My father has blocked her number, and the Chases have completely separated themselves from her now. As such, she has no choice but to ask around for my whereabouts.”“And you’re avoiding her on purpose?” Maisie thought of something.‘The Chases were threatened by Katrina back then because of the existence of the video. Now that the video has been erased, the Chases will no longer be led by the nose. It’s only natural for the Chases not to continue to support her financially.‘Katrina is indeed only an illegitimate daughter that brings disgrace to the Chases. What’s more, what
Barbara thought for a moment, then looked away from the crowd in front of her villa. “Okay then, I might have to trouble you for a while.”Maisie took Barbara back to the Goldmann mansion.Mr. Cheshire, the butler, was pruning the plants in the courtyard. He stopped the task on hand and stood up when he saw Maisie’s arrival. “Ma’am, you’ve come back?”Maisie nodded and said to Mr. Cheshire, “This is Barbara Chase, the daughter of the Chases. She’ll be living here for a while, so I might have to trouble you to take care of her needs.”Mr. Cheshire smiled and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll get someone to clean up a guest room now.”Barbara and Maisie stepped into the mansion. She then approached Maisie and asked, “Where are you and Mr. Goldmann currently staying now that you don’t live here?”“We stay in the Blue Bay villa.”Barbara gave off a pregnant smirk. “Wow, you’re indeed living life to the fullest, huh? You actually leave your kids at home and only think about living as a couple
