Maizie could only take a step back to move forward so that it didn’t look too obvious. Francisco suddenly took all his cash out of his wallet and threw them on the bed. “This is all I have. I can’t give you anything more.”Maizie froze as if she felt humiliated, “What… What do you think I am?”“What do you think?” Francisco buttoned up his coat. “You climbed on top of me while I passed out. You did this to yourself. Do you think you’ll marry into the Boucher family after sleeping with me? Haha.”Francisco left without looking back and slammed the door on the way out. Maizie looked at the money scattered on the bed and threw the pillow. “You wait, Francisco Boucher!”Francisco got home and saw that Eugene was having tea while reading his papers. He saw that Francisco didn’t greet him, so he slammed the cup on the table. “Where were you last night?”“I was drunk and slept at my friend’s place.” Francisco went upstairs without looking at him. Eugene tossed the papers onto the t
Barbara’s tone was calm. “Just answer, did you or did you not?”“So what if I did?” Katrina walked into the building and fished some keys out of her bag. “Your uncle is dead, but your family is trying to hide that from the outside world. How could I let that happen?”Barbara said, “Hah, are you involved in my uncle’s car accident?”Katrina frowned. “Yelena, stop this nonsense. Why would I be involved with your uncle’s death? God is just punishing the Chases and taking it out on you. How is that my fault?”Barbara laughed. “How would I know if this was your plan with Peter Zhivkov?”Katrina got out of the elevator but paused when she heard that. “What are you trying to say?”“Go ask Mr. Zhivkov.”Barbara hung up before she could reply. Katrina stood outside her door, and her head started buzzing. She had a bad feeling about this.At the Glitz Club…Barbara sat in the dimly-lit room, scrolling through her phone. She saw the message Maisie had sent but didn’t reply. She couldn’
Maisie was stumped. She turned her head sideways and dissolved into a fit of cough.Ryleigh picked up the glass of juice from the table and took a sip. “He wants me to put on a costume. I'm not a fan of cosplay. Wait. Could it be that he's into cosplay?”Nowadays, cosplay was a popular culture amongst young people, and the men in their country widely accepted female cosplayers.Maisie cleared her throat and couldn’t help herself but smile. “I think you might be able to make a good cosplayer.”“Shut up,” Ryleigh replied.Maisie went to the restroom. Just when she stood at the sink, washed her hands, and took out her lipstick to apply to her lips, a woman came out of the cubicle.In the mirror, the woman who walked out of the cubicle was none other than Mrs. Boucher. Christina did not expect to run into Maisie in the restroom. There was no expression on her face. She walked toward the sink and put her purse down.“Seems like we’re quite fated, Mrs. Goldmann,” she said half-heart
Maisie did not know what to say. She released Ryleigh, turned around, and walked toward her car.While she was sending Ryleigh back to the academy, Ryleigh asked about the man, “Zee, do you know the man we met just now?”“Not really,” Maisie replied. She kept her gaze fixed ahead and continued. “He's Mr. Topaz's partner, and I know him through Madam Nera.”It was only then understanding dawned upon Ryleigh. “I see. No wonder I can sense an air of confidence in that man. So, he's a businessman. Why did he treat you so well? He even wanted to invite you to a meal. Could it be that…”She paused for two seconds, spun her head around to look at Maisie, and said, “His son has taken a liking to you, and he wants you to be his daughter-in-law?”Maisie was stumped and caught between laughter and tears. “Do you have any idea what you are talking about, Ryleigh? He knows Nolan and knows that I'm Nolan's wife, so how is there any chance he would want me to be his daughter-in-law? I don't even
“Do you know the relationship between this Ms. Chase and our boss? Why does he take such good care of her?”“Don’t ask a question that you shouldn’t be asking. Have you forgotten what happened last time? The man who Meg had her eyes set on last time is Ms. Chase's friend. When Ms. Chase stepped in and told her to stay away from her friend, Meg wasn't happy about it. She went to complain to our boss. Our boss asked his men to give Meg a slap on the cheek and told her to mind her own business.”Both of the girls carried Barbara to a room with antique decorations. There was a wall furnace. The wall was red in color and filled with biblical scrolls.They put Barbara on the bed and closed the door when they were on their way out.…The netizens were oblivious to Barbara's incident, so they were easily manipulated. Michael was busy with his family's affairs, so he had no time to settle the things that were going on on the Internet. Therefore, the name “Barbara” appeared on Google Tren
“No! Don’t come in!” Maisie shouted nervously.The smile on Nolan’s face deepened.After a short while, the door was opened. Maisie had changed into the outfit as she came out of the dressing room embarrassingly. “I’m sure you did it on purpose. Look at this costume…”The dress was short, and the lacy hem was fluffy. The W-shaped collar was deep, allowing her fair skin to be exposed to the air. The waistline of the dress was designed so as to accentuate her tiny waist, and coupled up with the pairs of black stockings that wrapped around her legs like a glove, she looked extremely charming and sexy.Initially, Nolan just wanted to see her in a maid's outfit. He did not expect that she would look so good in it.On top of that, the embarrassed and nervous expression on her face made her look like a lamb to be slaughtered.His Adam’s apple rolled up and down in his throat, and his gaze was filled with desire.Maisie could see what he was thinking through his gaze. Just when she wa
Barbara took over the USB drive. She looked at Maisie incredulously and said, “You…”Maisie sat in front of her and interrupted, “What can you do by yourself? I'm sure you know what's going on with your family, and you all are very vulnerable right now. Even if you want to explain, do you think those people will believe in you if you don't have any evidence?” Barbara frowned. After a long while, she sighed. “We still haven't found the cause of my uncle's death. My father has other things to attend to, so he can't do anything. Honestly, I really don't know what to do.”She lifted her head to look at Maisie, and her eyes were filled with gratitude. “I didn’t expect you to help me so much.”Maisie lowered her head. Honestly, she had no idea why she wanted to help Barbara as well. Perhaps it was because she could see her past self in Barbara.She smiled and replied, “We’re friends, right? When my friend is in trouble, I can't just sit back and do nothing.”Barbara was stunned. She p
Barbara thought of something before getting into the car, turned her head, and asserted herself to the camera. “I don’t know what moral high ground you people think you’re standing on when you’re pointing your fingers at me. I seemingly look like the victim of this incident, don’t I? Sure enough, the person who would have died back then would be me if I hadn’t resisted and fought back. I’ve done nothing wrong when all I did was fight for my life. I don’t need your sympathy, but at the same time, I won’t allow you people to slander me.”#Barbara Chase Accepted the Salvadores’ Appeal# appeared on every single trending article list on the Internet, and all photos of the scene were posted on the Internet by reporters.This time around, two groups of netizens with different points of view were formed on the Internet, and they debated and quarreled. Most women spoke up for Barbara and also argued against the comments that some netizens posted, saying that “that’s the outcome that those wom
