‘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
Nolan pinched her chin. “Are you worried about Daisie?”Maisie returned to her senses. Although Nolan had regained his memories and claimed that he remembered everything that happened after his amnesia, he should know…Maisie held his hand. “Daisie has grown up into a young girl now, I think… Let’s get Saydie to teach Daisie some self-defense techniques.”Nolan rubbed the top of her head. “I’m okay with that. Allowing Daisie to pick up another skill will prevent her from suffering in the future.”“Oh, by the way,” Maisie remembered something, “I asked a friend of mine to stay in the Goldmann mansion for the time being.”“Is the friend that you’re talking about the daughter of the Chases?” Nolan squinted his eyes.Maisie nodded. She knew that Alfred would definitely have informed Nolan about that. “You don’t mind, do you?”Nolan wiped away the oil stains on the corner of Maisie’s lips with his fingertips and lowered his voice. “She is your friend. I certainly wouldn’t mind.”The
Mrs. Salvadore trembled. “You...”Katrina walked up to Maisie at this time. “Mrs. Goldmann, this is indeed a matter between Yelena and us. Don’t you think you’ve overstepped a little bit too much?”Maisie replied to her with a smile on her face, “Ms. Zalensky, since you have the guts to bring this matter to my company, then I’ll have the guts to take this matter into my own hands. Besides, Ms. Zalensky, shouldn’t you be the one who knows best who’s the mastermind behind Ms. Chase’s incident back then?”Katrina’s expression changed in shock as she stared at Maisie in amazement.‘Barbara actually told her about that too!?’She originally thought that Maisie did not know what had happened to Barbara back then, and that was why she had brought Mrs. Salvadore here on purpose—to make Maisie believe that Barbara was a murderer.However, unexpectedly…‘But regarding the truth behind the incident, even though Barbara knows about it, the video is now gone, and the person is now dead. Even
Katrina was stunned. Barbara didn’t show any expression. “Go ahead, I don’t care anymore. If you want to threaten me, go ahead.”She turned around. “I don’t know if the Chases will even care about your threat.”Barbara walked out. Maisie turned to look at them and let Kennedy drive them away. Katrina gnashed her teeth. “Don’t you dare leave!”Barbara stood with her back against the railing in the corridor and looked out the window.Maisie walked toward her. “It’d probably affect your family quite badly if it were to be exposed, huh?”She remembered that Barbara had mentioned her father was going to step back, and her uncle would take over when that happened.The video that Katrina had had could threaten the secret of the Chases. If the secret didn’t exist, the Chases would simply ignore her.Maisie had always been curious as to why Katrina kept going against Barbara and framing her. After witnessing their exchange today, she finally understood that Katrina wasn’t only fo
