Helios rolled the window up.‘See you later?’Ryleigh and Maisie looked at each other before casting their gazes on Barbara. It seemed to them that he was not talking to them.Saydie sent Ryleigh home first before fetching Barbara and Maisie home.Maisie turned her head around and asked, “Are you alright?”Barbara snapped herself out of her thoughts and replied with a smile, “Yeah. I’m fine.”“It seems to me that Johnny won’t let you off so easily. I think you shouldn’t come out alone these few days.”Barbara was momentarily stunned before flashing her a grin. “Don’t worry. I can take care of myself.”Saydie stopped the car outside of Skyhigh Park, and she only drove the car away after Barbara had gotten out of the car and bid them goodbye.Saydie looked at the rear mirror and said, “Miss, I’ll go back to Morwich in a few more days.”“Did something happen to Daddy Strix?” Maisie asked nervously.Saydie shook her head and replied, “Strix is fine. He told me that he has found
The corner of Colton’s lips twitched as he pushed her head away. “I want to change my sister.”Daisie made a face at him.Nollace just shook his head and continued to eat his meal. Apparently, he did not want to participate in the childish bickering between these two siblings.While they were on their way back to the Blue Bay villa, Maisie complimented Nollace on how he was to Waylon when it came to politeness.Nolan squinted his eyes slightly and asked, “Seems like you like that brat a lot too?”Maisie was stunned. After that, she chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you jealous of a kid?” Nolan looked at her and said, “He doesn’t look like Waylon at all. He’s so young, yet he’s as cunning as a fox. He isn’t as simple as he seems to be.”The moment Nolan had seen Nollace was provoking Colton at the table, he did not have a good impression of that kid.‘The Knowles are all the same. He’s so young, yet he’s so good at manipulating other people’s feelings. I’m sure he’ll become very c
It was only then Barbara remembered Helios had said he would be coming to see her tonight. However, she did not expect him to come to her at this hour.‘Doesn’t he think it’s a little bit too late now?’When Helios smelled the food from inside, he frowned. “You’re not eating at this hour again, are you?”Barbara scratched her neck in embarrassment and said, “Well, I’m hungry. Do you want some?”When Helios walked into her house, Barbara wanted to bite her tongue off.‘How could I let a man into my house at this late hour?’Looking at the food and the few cans of beer on the table, Helios asked, “Are you drinking beer?”Barbara came to a sudden stop when she heard what Helios said. She quickly kept the beer cans away and said, “Nope, nope. I'm not going to drink them. I'm just stocking them up.”“Well, this is your house, so if you want to drink a few beers, you can just drink them,” Helios said as he sat on the couch.Barbara was stunned and looked at him in surprise.Barbara
Barbara climbed up feebly and walked to the door in a daze.“Barbara, why didn’t you answer my—” Before Ryleigh could finish her sentence, she saw the scene underneath Barbara’s sleeping gown, and her eyes grew wide.Barbara yawned and said, “I put it on mute and didn't hear your call.”When she noticed that Ryleigh was staring at her collar, she lowered her head and put her hand over it. “What are you looking at?”Ryleigh lifted her finger and asked, “Who did that?”Barbara was momentarily stunned before something popped into her head. She covered her neck subconsciously and slammed the door, shutting Ryleigh outside.Ryleigh smashed the doorbell and shouted, “Barbara, tell me clearly! Are you hiding a man in the house!?”Barbara went to the restroom and stood in front of the mirror. Her cheeks turned red, and she covered her face.It seemed to her that Helios was totally a different person when he was on the bed.At Soul…Maisie was handing tasks to Lucy when she heard Ryle
“After all, the Knowles brought up my mother,“ Nolan replied flatly. He did not like the Knowles, but he couldn’t deny that it was the Knowles that had raised his mother despite the fact they raised her for a purpose.Madam Hathaway frowned and said, “I don’t know much about the Knowles, but from what Yorrick has said, it has something to do with their heir.”“Heir?” Nolan frowned. “I thought the Knowles only had one heir?”Madam Hathaway told him that Elder Master Knowles had two sons, but they were not born from the same mother. The son of his first wife was Sam, and he was Rick's father. After Elder Master Knowles’ first wife passed away, he married another woman who was about the same age as his eldest son and gave birth to Tristan. Therefore, Tristan was 8 years older than his nephew, Rick. Generally speaking, Nollace should be the heir since he was Sam's eldest grandson. However, Tristan’s mother, the second wife of Elder Master Knowles, didn’t want Nollace to lead the Knowl
Nollace scoffed. “If everything needs to be done by the class president, then why do we need a vice class president?”Colton stood up with his arms propped against the desk and was about to refute when a piece of chalk hit the back of his head.Daisie glanced at him with her arms akimbo. “Colton, don’t be lazy. We’re all busy with our tasks.”The other students dared not ask Colton to carry his own weight, but Daisie was different.He clicked his tongue, picked up the ornaments that were lying on the desk, and glared at Nollace. “Alright, alright, I only need to hang the decorations, don’t I?”Lisa, who was helping out beside Daisie, chuckled softly. “Is Colton still feeling a little unreconciled because he lost to Nollace in the class president election?”Before Nollace had been transferred to the school, Colton was the top student in the class, and no one else could go against him in terms of grades.However, after Nollace got transferred to the class, he was dethroned from be
“Nolly, is your arm okay?”Upon seeing that his sister had left him instantly to care about Nollace again, the corners of Colton’s lips twitched.‘I’m just her brother, who’s nowhere near as respectable as that cousin of hers.’Nollace smiled at her. “I’m fine.”She lowered her head and said, “Thank you for saving Colton. Mom once said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one’s body. You’ve saved Colton, so he should repay you with his body when he grows up.”Nollace was out of words.Colton almost vomited a mouthful of blood and hurriedly grabbed Daisie to cover her mouth. “Are you dumb? I’m a boy, and he’s a boy too. How could I possibly repay him with my body?”She tilted her head and asked, “Can’t a boy do so with other boys?”The two boys replied in unison, “No!”Colton and Nollace looked at each other for a while, and they turned their faces away with a snort.Daisie thought of something and asked, “By the way, aren’t there two people holding the ladder? Why d
Maisie had just sent Saydie to the airport and was watching her leave when she suddenly received a call from Barbara.She answered the call and heard a very loud and noisy voice coming from the other end of the call before she could even speak, and that included Barbara’s voice and a man’s threatening voice.She realized that things were not looking too good, and before she could listen to the conversation more closely, the call was hung up instantly.Maisie tried calling the number again, but the cell phone was no longer in service. She realized something and quickly dialed Quincy’s number.On the other side, Johnny kicked Barbara’s cell phone away from her. The phone hit the wall, the screen shattered, and it was completely shattered.He stepped forward and grabbed Barbara by her hair, forcing her to raise her head and look directly at him. “You actually made a call secretly. Who do you think would come to your rescue, those two women from last time?”Barbara’s face turned pale
