Upon seeing the strange expression on Eugene and Samantha’s faces, she decided to fan the flames and push all the blame to Maisie. “Mrs. Goldmann knew that Katrina was Mr. Boucher’s lover. Mrs. Goldmann was the one that made Katrina’s fake ring, so don’t you guys think Mrs. Goldmann was also one of the people who caused Francisco’s parents to go their separate ways?”The ward fell silent. Maizie’s eyes were filled with madness and smiles when she was speaking.She stared fixedly at Maisie as if she desperately wanted to see Maisie become a rat in the street everyone shouted at.Everyone turned around and looked at Maisie. The atmosphere was tense. Maisie did not say a word, yet a trace of sympathy appeared in her eyes. She was not pitying Maizie. She just felt sorry for her unborn child that she had taken advantage of to frame her. “We don’t have any grudges,” Maisie said firmly. “If I have to be jealous just because you like my husband, then I have to be jealous of all the women
After Francisco finished speaking, he pulled his phone out, turned the volume to the loudest, and tossed the phone on the bed.When the sound of the recording filled the ward, Maizie's face turned from pale to green and then to ashen pale again.Flustered, she threw the phone on the floor and shouted, “This wasn’t me. It’s her! She framed me!” Eugene stormed forward before Elder Master Boucher could do anything and snarled, “How dare you take my ring!?”‘Not only that, but she intended to give the ring to Katrina!?’Samantha scoffed coldly and said, “You became a thief before becoming the daughter-in-law of the Bouchers. How could you steal the ring?”‘Why would things turn out like this? How did Francisco get the video of me meeting Katrina?’It was only now that Maizie saw the light why Francisco was so sure that he was not the baby's father, and he knew she had taken the ring.Something crossed her head, and she pointed at Maisie with a trembling finger. “It’s you! You're t
Yael asked, “What’s going on?”Officer Zaleski replied, “We're here to investigate Katrina's accident case. We've collected some evidence, and we found that the accident has something to do with Ms. Hannigan.”Maizie shook her head nervously, “No… It wasn’t me…”Officer Zaleski looked at her and asked, “Do you know Gideon, Ms. Hannigan?”Helios squinted his eyes. “Gideon… He was one of Tony’s men, right?”Officer Zaleski nodded. He told them that Gideon was the one who had killed Katrina in the car accident. He also told them that Gideon had received $500,000 in his bank account after the accident.The remittance account was the account that Tony had passed on to Maizie and was not frozen.Elder Master Boucher said something to Officer Zaleski and allowed him to take Maizie away.Samantha’s face turned pale, and she covered her mouth. “I… I didn’t expect it would turn out this way.”Initially, she was kind of sympathetic toward this girl. However, little did she expect that no
Maisie followed Nolan to the precinct for some follow-up on the case. She also said she wanted to see Maizie.Officer Zaleski asked an officer to take her into one of the interrogation rooms. Soon, a female officer led Maizie with both hands in handcuffs.Her face looked pale and haggard, and she had lost the former vitality that she had. Her uncombed hair looked as messy and dry as hay, and her bright and beautiful appearance had long disappeared.She glared at Maisie and scoffed. “Wow, are you here to laugh at me?”Maisie straightened her posture and explained calmly, “Must you make everyone around you sound so complicated?”Maizie did not answer as Maisie looked straight at her. “I would never do anything to persecute you unless you’ve overstepped my bottom line in the first place. But other than those things that I’ve done to you, I really don’t understand where your hatred for me stems from.”‘The hatred that Willow and Rowena had against me was justifiable.‘Willow’s hatre
This would also be Maisie's last conversation with Maizie after the latter was imprisoned.Maisie was walking in the corridor, and Nolan’s figure could be seen standing not far away from the end of the corridor. He was waiting for her.He smiled as she approached. “Done talking to her?”Maisie nodded and stopped in front of him. “Yeah, I just had to figure out why she hates me that much.”Nolan held her hand and kissed her on her fingertips. “No matter what others think, my wife is always the best.”She stood on tiptoe to move closer to him. “Am I that good?”Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist as a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes. “Other than the little tigress that I have to face head-on from time to time, you’re just fine.”She choked on her own saliva. “Who are you referring to as a tigress?”He did not say a word, but the hilarity that beamed through his eyes and brows intensified.“Ahem, it seems that I’ve come at the wrong time.” Officer Zaleski interrupte
Anthony approached them with a wine glass. “Nolan, you’ve come to support the project.”Nolan smiled and took the wine glass from the waiter. “Hi, Uncle Topaz. Your project has officially started, so, of course, I have to come to show my support.”Maisie grabbed a wine glass too. “Congratulations, Mr. Topaz.”Anthony smiled and toasted with them. “Thank you for all your blessings.”Tristan walked toward them with a young female companion. The woman standing beside him was probably in her 20s. She did not look extremely eye-catching but had an elegant temperament.Nolan clinked glasses with him. “It seems that you’ve found another pretty woman, Mr. Knowles.”Tristan smiled and replied, “An old bachelor like me can’t compare myself to those of you who have a family. So how can I attend such an occasion without a female companion?”Anthony smiled and turned to look at Tristan. “Mr. Knowles, if you were willing to settle down and get married back then, you might already have a mansi
Bassburgh had always been warm during winter and cool during summer. The roses in the garden located just outside the window still looked delicate and beautiful under the meticulous care of the gardener during the winter.Maisie had been giving herself a time off recently and had left her company to Lucy to manage, and she took some time to visit Sapphie at Uncle Kennedy’s today.Sapphie was already half a year old, and her soft hair had grown a little longer. Her facial features were not fully grown just yet, except for her bright, big eyes that seemed to be able to fit the whole galaxy in each of them, and they would bend into two crescent moons whenever she smiled.“This little girl will definitely grow up to be a gorgeous lady.” Kennedy held Sapphie in his arms and was unwilling to part with her. Although he was not her biological father, he already regarded Sapphie as his own daughter after all the company that he had shown her throughout the past few months.Maisie smiled and
Maisie rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Ryleigh Hill, are you dumb or what? You’re engaged to Louis, and you dare to stay at Joe’s place for one whole night after grabbing a drink with him? Do you know what the public will do to people like you? They’ll slaughter you on the Internet.”“I was in a bad mood that day.” Ryleigh propped her head against her arm and stared blankly at the table. “His ex-girlfriend had to attend a dinner, and why didn’t he think about my feelings and our engagement when he went to the banquet with her as her male companion?”Maisie narrowed her eyes.Ryleigh laughed out loud abruptly. “The engagement is just a façade. If it weren’t for the marriage that the two families arranged, his ex might even be able to get back together again with him.”Maisie supported her chin with her hand. “If Louis really wants to go back to Xyla, your engagement with him would’ve gone down the sewage ages ago. Maybe there’s another reason for him to accompany Xyla to the dinner.
