Nolan ignored Quincy, acting as if he had been drugged by that woman and was addicted to her. It had only been half a day, and he already could not wait to see her.‘Sure enough, I did give her three days to think about my offer, but it’s still too long.’At Beach Villa…When eating dinner, Maisie held the spaghetti on the plate with her fork but had no appetite at all. She raised her eyes and looked to the front from time to time and felt like her children had been abducted.‘Tsk, Nolan is really too shameless for me to handle. He’s the one who said he’ll give me some time to think about it, but he will never miss the chance to come to my place for dinner.’Daisie was sitting on her father’s lap—the feeling of being fed by her father was really amazing!Of course, he did not only pamper Daisie. He would fetch Waylon and Colton some dishes from time to time. Waylon’s reaction was not as excited as that of Colton’s and Daisie’s, which at least provided Maisie with a little sense o
Ryleigh sent her a text message. It was obvious that the three rugrats had leaked the secret to her—that was how she knew about Nolan’s plan to stay here for the night!Sensing the expectations that Ryleigh showed through her message, she replied, “What’s on that filthy mind of yours? Dbags can only be allowed to sleep on the couch.”She then turned her cell phone off.‘All I can do now is to avoid him for as long as possible!’A tall figure came to the edge of the bed in the middle of the night. He slowly sat down and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He propped his hands against the bed, leaned over, and covered her lips with his own lips.“Umm...” Maisie’s eyelashes trembled, and she raised her hand and waved gently. “Ugh, stop it!”Her languid and coquettish voice was accompanied by a hint of nasal resonance. She also frowned slightly as if he was disturbing her sweet dreams.Nolan stared at her unsuspecting appearance, and a touch of tenderness flashe
Maisie, who originally wanted to get into the front passenger seat, was rendered speechless.As soon as she sat down in the rear passenger seat, Quincy turned to look at her and gave her a wide smile. “Good morning, Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie gnashed her teeth. “Mrs. Goldmann your as— Drive!”She would have completed the impertinent sentence if it weren’t for Colton’s presence.Quincy pouted his lips.‘Ms. Vanderbilt is rather hot-tempered. Mr. Goldmann will have a lot to bear in the future.’Nolan turned around and glanced at her.Maisie’s fashion sense had always been good. She was wearing a professional suit, but she managed to bring out a unique fashionable style.It seemed monotonous to wear a pure black basic blouse in a buttonless black pattern suit, but the blue-black gradient and the irregular lace split skirt contrasted sharply with the burgundy heels.It made the overall look not only less monotonous but also more fashionable. And the earrings that were in the same colo
Nolan loosened his tie irritably.‘It expresses closeness? She clearly didn’t want to get close to me.‘But it doesn’t matter. I’ll let her adapt to the concept of being “close” to me slowly when she and the kids move to the Goldmann mansion tomorrow!’…Stephen had not embarrassed Willow anymore ever since she entered the hospital due to the cut. Nonetheless, thinking of the two slaps that she had gotten from her father, Willow still put the blame on Maisie.“Willie, Willie!” Leila entered the ward hurriedly and smiled excitedly. “It’s trending, it’s trending now!”“What is trending now?” Willow bit the nail of her thumb, feeling very upset.“Oh, those jewels that designer Freddy designed for Vaenna have gone viral on the Internet!”“What!?” Willow was stunned.‘They’ve gone viral?’“Yes, your father has answered several calls asking for collaboration!”After Leila finished speaking, she said triumphantly, “Maisie is not the only jewelry designer in this world. Now that Fre
“Mother, Willie is doing so for the Vanderbilts.” Leila smiled, trying to make Madam Vanderbilt feel satisfied with herself and her daughter.Everyone knew that Madam Vanderbilt had always valued a grandson more. If it weren’t for the fact that Stephen did not have any son, Madam Vanderbilt would not even bother to care about the mother-and-daughter pair.Madam Vanderbilt had two sons, one was Stephen, and the other was Yorick.Yorick was Stephen’s elder brother who lived in the ancestral mansion of the Vanderbilts because he had given birth to a grandson for Mr. Vanderbilt Sr.Madam Vanderbilt had always attached great importance to this eldest son. If it weren’t for the improvement that Vaenna was showing right now, Madam Vanderbilt would never come to the Bassburgh in person.“Hmph, this might be good for the Vanderbilts, but after all, she’s not a man. Son, in any case, the family business has to be inherited by a man. This daughter will eventually become the daughter of anoth
“Taylor Jewelry monopolizes the supply chain of black opal and tanzanite, so we can only go to Taylor Jewelry for supply. But I heard that Taylor’s offer has always been very high.”“It’s okay. Money isn’t a big issue to the boss of this company,” Maisie said as she handed Xander the list.Xander was startled. “Are you going to make Mr. Goldmann pay?”Although they were working in Blackgold Group, they were only considered to be an independent studio affiliated to the company.Maisie looked at him. “I have no money.”Xander forwarded the list to Quincy, and the latter took a glance at it. “For the two raw stone materials, we’ll need Mr. Goldmann...”Halfway through the conversation, his eyes were fixed on Taylor Jewelry’s rough gemstones supplier, and he was dumbfounded.‘The price offered by Taylor Jewelry’s supplier is twice as expensive as what other companies would offer, but they’re not bluffing about the high price.‘Black opal is a type of opal stone, but black opal is t
Maisie entered the manor and heard a joyous ambient noise coming from the living room.Willow, who was sitting next to Madam Vanderbilt, looked a little startled when she saw Maisie. She smiled and stood up. “Zee has come back?”Madam Vanderbilt looked at Maisie and scrutinized her from head to toe. “I haven’t seen you for so many years. You do resemble your mother Marina a little now.”Leila and several servants brought food to the dining table and shouted, “Mother, dinner is ready.”Madam Vanderbilt got up slowly with Willow’s support and then said to Maisie when she walked by her, “Stay, let’s have a meal as a family.”‘A family?’ Maisie’s eyelashes twitched, and the corners of her lips were raised coldly.Apart from the mother-and-daughter pair, she did not see her father at the dinner table.Maisie looked at the empty chair after she sat down. “Why is Dad not here?”“He’s not hungry. Let’s eat first.” Madam Vanderbilt took the initiative to fetch Willow some side dishes. “
“Oh? Mr. Goldmann has come over here for dinner before this?” Madam Vanderbilt could not conceal her joy.Mr. Goldmann of Bassburgh, everybody in Coralia knew about him.It had always been said that one would have all the prosperity and wealth that they could ever wish for in this life as long as one could get acquainted with the Goldmanns.Leila forced a smile and explained, “Mother, that took place quite a long time ago. Mr. Goldmann has been too busy with work recently, so there’s no way that he’ll be able to come.”“How would you know if he could come or not if you don’t even give him a call?” Maisie sneered.Leila looked at her with resentment in her eyes. “Zee, stop making trouble.”‘I mustn’t let this b*tch rock the boat!’Seeing that Leila and Willow were so nervous, Maisie was almost sure that they were afraid she would really call Nolan over and ruin their front and that they would not be able to hold their heads up in front of Madam Vanderbilt.Maisie received a text
