Maisie continued reading information about the Knowles and saw something that made her pause because she was surprised.#Heir to the Knowles, Sam Knowles’ first love throws herself off a building, Sam Knowles sadly agrees to an arranged marriage.##‘Luna’ seen drinking at a bar on Sam Knowles’ wedding night. ‘Luna’ once mentioned that she had a crush on a gentleman, hinting that it was Sam Knowles, but instead married Elder Master Knowles, who was 20 years her senior.#These two newspapers were one of the earliest gossip papers of Yaramoor. If it weren’t uncovered, no one would have known.Maisie took a picture of these articles and sent them to Quincy. When Quincy saw them, he was shocked. Quincy knocked on Nolan’s room and went in when he got permission. “Mr. Goldmann, Mrs. Goldmann sent these to me. She found some of the Knowles' scandals.Nolan closed his book, took Quincy’s phone, scanned through it, and chuckled. “Interesting.”“She was able to dig out all this history. D
Thomas had fallen for her during the one year he had spent with her, and they got into a relationship.Thomas had been studying for two years, and she had been with him the entire time. When he finally got his degree in civil engineering, he had to rush home because something had happened in the Clifford family, so he had to return to his country. He had promised Simmone that he would marry her once the issue was settled. His eyes turned dull when he remembered that. “If I had returned to see her sooner… she wouldn’t have died.”He turned to Nolan, who was standing next to him. “She was the fraternal twin sister of Olga, so they don’t look that similar. The Knowles were behind her death, and that was why I wanted to help her.“If the love of your life was murdered, I believe you would do the same. You wouldn’t just let it go, right?”Nolan was surprised.He could see Thomas' hatred for the Knowles through his eyes, mixed with remorse and regret.After a long silence, Nolan look
After Quincy left, Nolan stood up, sat down in front of a single couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Daisie. Daisie looked everywhere except at her father. Her father was scary when he didn't speak. She was missing her mother!Nolan controlled his anger and didn’t explode. “Daisie, I know you don’t want to leave your friend, but you can be friends with anyone except Nollace.”“Why?” Daisie looked up curiously and tilted her head. “Dad, Nolly is a nice person. Why don’t you like him?”Nolan rubbed the bridge of his nose because his head was aching. “That boy is manipulative. You’re too innocent.”Daisie was confused. “What does that mean?”Nolan didn’t know what to say. He was talking about something so difficult to understand to an 8-year-old. She wouldn’t understand. He sighed. “Just listen to me. He’s not as simple as you think.”“Waylon and Colton aren’t simple either. Why don’t you like it when Nollace is the same?”Nolan was rendered speechless once again.Daisie co
Yorrick was a wolf in sheep’s clothing in the business world. People thought that he was a good-for-nothing rich kid but didn’t realize that underestimating your rivals in the business world was the ‘deadliest’ thing.Nolan looked through the files that Yorrick gave him, and it had pictures of the oldest newspaper in Yaramoor, and the dates were from decades ago. The snow fell outside the window in Yaramoor. The confers along the streets were covered in balls of snow and frost. Madam Knowles walked to the nursing home with a poodle in hand while a bodyguard was walking next to her, holding an umbrella. When they got to the door, the bodyguard closed the umbrella and handed it to the staff. The people there welcomed her enthusiastically and brought her to the room on the first floor. She let the bodyguards wait outside. When the nurse pushed the door open, an old person was lying in bed, breathing with the help of a ventilator.The man’s face was gaunt, tortured by sickness, w
‘Madam Knowles is in charge of the Knowles. Perhaps she wants to lock Rick and his wife up because she doesn't want them to interfere with her plan. Now that Sam is dead, Rick and his wife will probably be her next targets. This old woman indeed is ruthless. She started by dealing with the Knowles first before sending someone to take Nollace back to the Knowles. There is a chance that she might set up an accident or something to kill Nollace, and no one would be suspicious of it,’ Nolan thought silently.After a while, he said, “Turn around. Let’s go to the Clifford manor.”By the time Nolan arrived at the Clifford manor, the servant told him that Thomas had already gone out, and a bad feeling rose from his stomach pit.He surmised that Thomas had gone to the wine cellar, and it seemed to him that Madam Knowles had sent someone to take Nollace back to Yaramoor.Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it and put the phone near his ear. Before he could say anything, the bodyguard on th
Daisie was sitting on the long bench with her back leaned against the ceiling-to-floor window, looking sad and forlorn.When Nolan rushed over, he saw the wound on her knees and frowned.He walked over to her and placed his hand on the top of her head.Daisie raised her head, and her big, pretty eyes were filled with tears to the brim. Nolan wiped the tears off and grabbed her into his arms.“Dad, bahh…” Daisie couldn’t hold herself anymore and cried out loud. Nolan patted her head gently to comfort her.When they were on their way back in the car, Daisie leaned against Nolan and fell asleep.Quincy looked at her through the rear mirror and sighed. “Ms. Daisie is going to be sad for a long time.”The westbound sun cast its light through the car window. Nolan tilted his head and looked at the little girl who had cried herself to sleep beside him. “She’s young. I'm sure she will forget about him after some time when she gets more new friends.”Quincy did not say anything.When t
“This is why I said he isn’t an ordinary kid,” Nolan said as he lowered his voice. “After killing those kidnappers with poison, there was a chance that the same thing might happen to him again if he were to return to the Knowles.“Although he was a kid, he knew that the one who kidnapped him was Madam Knowles, so he hid in the slum for a month. When the police came looking, Madam Knowles would think that someone knew about it and saved him, so she wouldn't dare to do anything rash.”Quincy was stunned. He still found it hard to believe. If everything Nolan had said was true, then Nollace was truly a genius. Quincy thought that Nolan’s kids were already smart enough, but he did not expect Nollace to possess such a great mind which could develop a strategy like this at a young age.It was only now he saw the light why Nolan was reluctant to let Daisie get so close to Nollace. If Nollace was lucky enough to live to adulthood, perhaps he would be a tricky opponent in the future.The ne
Thomas did not know what to say anymore.Meanwhile, Nolan pulled a photo out of his pocket. “I don't think Madam Knowles has told you about my mother, Natasha, before, right?”He put the photo on the table and pushed it toward Thomas.“T-This is…” Thomas was stunned.“She is my mother. Madam Knowles adopted her,” Nolan said as he looked fixedly at Thomas.Thomas picked the photo up, his hands trembling vigorously. The woman in the photo, especially her features, resembled Simmone a lot when she was younger.“As for why Madam Knowles would adopt my mother, I guess no one knew my mother's identity better than her. Now that I've learned all the truth, I can say with confidence my mother is probably your and Simmone’s daughter.”Thomas jerked his head up to look at Nolan. He opened his parched lips, but no words could come out.At Bassburgh, at Soul…“I believe that Mr. Boucher isn’t that kind of person. Does that little-known actress want to be famous so much?”“That’s right. I
