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
Furthermore, Mr. Zhivkov had to rely on his father-in-law’s family. He couldn’t let his wife find out about his affair.He said, “I’m always true to my word. She was just a woman from a club. I won’t interfere with her issues with the Chases.” Then he left.Quincy walked in, and the lights turned on in the room.Maisie removed her mask, walked back to the couch, sat down next to Nolan, and winked playfully. “I didn’t think that Katrina would get hold of Peter Zhivkov, who had beef with the Chases. Do you think he will take this personally for threatening him?”Nolan tilted his head, looked at her, and chuckled. “That wasn’t a threat.”Quincy said, “Don’t worry, ma’am. We used fake identities here. Peter would probably just think that the Chases sent us.”It would be out of place for Nolan to get involved with the Chases’ affairs because he had nothing to do with them, and he was a businessman like Peter. The biggest benefit between two businessmen would be their relationship. N
Quincy nodded. “It wasn’t Mr. Zhivkov’s room. The person next door seems to know you.”Nolan squinted and said after a moment, “I guess someone knows that I’m here tonight.”He hugged Maisie, then kissed her forehead. “Wait for me here. Don’t run around, okay?”Maisie hesitated before nodding. “Come back soon.”He smiled and left with Quincy. Maisie sat in the room alone with some bodyguards outside. Barbara called and asked, “Are you at Glitz?”“Yes, I met Peter Zhivkov, the man that Katrina is currently involved with.”Barbara was silent for some time, then said, “I know Peter. My dad closed down his spa once. So Katrina is trying to get him to do the dirty work.”“He promised that he wouldn’t help her.” Maisie leaned back on the couch. “His wife has a tight leash on him, so he probably wouldn’t want to offend the Chases because of a lover.”“I just got the news that my dad will be stepping down after a week.”Maisie sat up straight. “After a week? So soon?”Barbara confi
The wine bottle shattered with a loud bang. The burly man fell to the floor and covered the bleeding wound on his head. The other people were startled by her bold action, and none of them dared to approach her.Peter cursed out loud and shouted, “What the hell are you losers doing? She’s just a woman. Go get her!”Maisie made her move first. Although she could take two or three of them down, there were eight of them left.She was wearing a pair of stilettos. Soon, she started to feel exhausted, and the floor was littered with broken bottles.A man saw his chance and pounced at her, pinning her on the couch. Maisie bent her knee and delivered a fierce kick, and the man fell down in a curled-up position, covering his crotch in pain.Another two strong men grabbed her and pinned her back on the couch. Peter barked out his order, “Remove her mask!”Katrina watched as they moved on to remove Maisie's mask. Her fingers had stabbed into her arms that were crossed around her chest. Jus
Peter replied reverently, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Boucher.”After that, he turned to the two injured strong men and ordered, “Take this b*tch to the boss of the Glitz Club. Ask him to teach her a good lesson.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhivkov. Please, I won’t do it again! Please!” The two men grabbed Katrina up from the floor and pulled her out of the room.After that, Peter brought his men and left the private room.Nolan and Quincy soon appeared outside of the room. His face darkened when he saw the mess in the private room and the frightened Maisie, who was standing in front.He marched toward Maisie in strides and grabbed her into his arms. Securing her tightly in his embrace, he turned his head to look at Yael and said, “Thanks for your help, Uncle Boucher.”Yael dismissed him by waving his hand and said, “Don’t mention it. I hope you won’t forget the things you promised me.”Nolan came out of the Glitz Club with Maisie in his arms. The night wind was strong. He took
