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
Quincy paused.Now that Nolan had mentioned it, Quincy had always been calling her ‘Ms. Vanderbilt’ because he was so used to it. But since Nolan never focused on titles, he just realized it. Was it too late?Nolan looked at him, so Quincy immediately nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Goldmann asked me to send someone to keep an eye on Katrina. Do you remember Katrina, by the way?”Nolan may have regained his memories, but Quincy wasn’t sure whether he still remembered her.Nolan looked calm and a little indifferent. “Eugene’s mistress?”Quincy scratched his head. “The woman is still hiding in Bassburgh, and you even helped Ms. Van— Mrs. Goldmann hack into her phone and get the videos. She turned up again, probably with some plan.”Nolan was silent.He vaguely remembered something like that. Zee had asked for his help to help Ms. Chase. He calmly said, “Go ahead.”Quincy nodded, then left the office.The night was dense. Under the neon lights, Glitz was a sparkling splendor, hanging betwee
Katrina didn’t have influence or power. And without Eugene’s protection, it would be easy for the Chases to get back at her.Mr. Zhivkov would be the best person to do it.A waiter walked in and whispered something into Mr. Zhivkov’s ear.He stopped trying to light up a cigar and frowned. “Who is it?”The waiter said, “I’m not sure, but they seem to be powerful and asked specifically to see you.”Katrina heard that and turned pale.‘Someone powerful requested to see Mr. Zhivkov? Who?’Mr. Zhivkov placed his cigar on the ashtray, got up, and followed the waiter out.Katrina couldn’t help but hold her fist.A few bodyguards in black stood outside the first VIP room. The waiter said something to one of them, and they opened the door.Mr. Zhivkov became alert but thinking that Glitz had complicated backing, he didn’t make a scene and walked in calmly.The room was dimly lit. The man sitting on the couch had broad shoulders, his navy blue suit looking crisp.Half of his face was
