“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
“Mommy!”Daisie pounced in front of her and raised her head, her eyes curled due to the smile. “Mommy, Mommy, we’ll stay with Daddy in the future, right?”Maisie glanced at the man beside her and did not say anything. ‘I’m not doing so voluntarily!’Nolan leaned over and picked up Daisie. “Yes, you’ll be living together with Daddy in the future.”Seeing the three rugrats cheering, Maisie, who was standing at the side, frowned, crossed her arms, and turned her face away.Still, she had never seen her three children being so delighted before this.Mr. Cheshire, who was standing next to Quincy, did not expect such an outcome.‘The young master not only had three children but also brought the children’s mother back here. I always thought that Ms. Vanderbilt would be the future mistress of the Goldmanns.‘This is astonishing!’He turned his head to Quincy and said, “Is this lady really our future young lady?”Quincy looked at him. “Ms. Vanderbilt even conceived kids for the family
Sensing the mattress behind her sinking, Maisie opened her eyes vigilantly.But there was no other movement after the man behind her laid down, so she turned her head around after a while.The man had fallen asleep with his back facing her.There was enough space for another person to lie down in the middle of the king-sized bed.Maisie only loosened her vigilance a little, but she still did not dare to slack off. No one knew how long the stalemate went on, but she was really too sleepy and dozed off without knowing it in the middle of the night.Nolan was awakened by a slap. He frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at the woman who was sleeping in a starfish position beside him. She had even pushed the quilt away from herself and was only half-covered.He rubbed his forehead.‘This woman actually has such a wild sleeping position?’Nolan suddenly thought of something when he was moving her hand away and then stared at her quietly...As soon as the first ray of the sun s
The car stopped in front of Taylor Jewelry. Kennedy and Maisie got out together and walked toward the main entrance. Taylor Jewelry was the biggest jewelry company in Zlokova, with its subsidiaries being in the top 10 in the country. Anyone who would want to be at the top of the industry would have to be in a partnership with them. A lot of the materials used by Taylor were monopolized. The rough diamonds and opals used could not be found anywhere else, but not everyone could become the best supplier for rough stones because of the requirements on price and quality. Kennedy went to the front desk to inform the staff of their arrival. When their identity was confirmed, they were brought into the VIP lounge. There were two people in the VIP lounge who seemed to be from other companies. “Please take a seat. We’ll get to you shortly.”Kennedy and Maisie walked to the couch on the other side and took their seats when the staff left. The woman sitting across the room was applyin
In comparison, Mr. Santiago was a lot friendlier than his daughter.Kennedy smiled helplessly. “I guess La Perla had the same intentions as us when they sent Ms. Santiago over to negotiate for a partnership.”“They’re trying to get Taylor’s source?” Maisie raised her brows.Kennedy sounded worried. “I wonder what condition La Perla will bring to the table. I’m afraid that $12,000,000 won’t be enough.”Just access to the source of tanzanite would already cost around $12,000,000. Since Taylor was the only company that had the right to work with Beaumont, monopolizing the import channels alone would have cost Taylor an obscene amount of money. They waited there for almost an hour before the staff appeared again. “I’m sorry, Madam Nera said that since your studio is newly established and not listed yet, she doesn’t know how good you are. Thus, she wishes that you will come back when you’ve become more established.”Kennedy got up. “Did Madam Nera really say that?”The staff looked
They didn’t cause a scene nor do anything. If they threw them out just because they were newly established, people would say that Taylor looked down on new companies.“Let them wait if that’s what they want.”After another hour, the staff came back to report, but Madam Nera ignored it. When afternoon came, the staff came back again to report, looking defeated. “They haven’t left. They’ve ordered some food delivery. I guess they plan to stay here all night.”Madam Nera could not sit around like they planned to do. She turned her wheelchair around. “Bring me to them.”She had underestimated the perseverance of the small company’s employees. That was perhaps the reason she was curious. She wanted to see how much confidence this small jewel company had. “They’re so shameless. They refused to leave because Madam Nera didn’t want to see them.”“I would probably be too ashamed to stay.”“They even ordered food delivery. Do they think that this is their home?”A few employees were gos
