“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
Morgan paced back and forth in front of the table with his hands clasped behind his back. Suddenly, he stopped pacing around, lifted his head to look at the ceiling, and sighed, “Well, I could sense that Helios intends to retire from the entertainment industry. Sigh, I’m the one who brought him into this industry, made him famous, and watched him get 12 film awards. Honestly, I really don’t want him to retire from the industry.”Morgan lowered his head. His eyes were red around the rims, and he felt like crying.Nina walked forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him. “Mr. Lynch, you need to think in this way. All good things must come to an end, and we won’t have new blood coming in if all those old actors and actresses refuse to give way.”Morgan covered his face and said, “I’m still very sad. He’s just like my own son. Why can’t he just stay for another 10 years? The market for old actors and actresses is pretty good nowadays as well.”Helios was standing outside of the offic
One of the female reporters stood up. “Mr. Boucher, are you planning on retiring?”Helios nodded. “We should always leave more opportunities for the newcomers to the entertainment industry.”The reporter asked, “But why would you choose to do so?”He replied, “It was just a matter of time. I wish to place more focus on my career behind the scenes and leave the silver screen to the newcomers. Of course, if there’s a script that requires me to play a role, I’ll still consider it.”The reporter moved on to the next question. “Did you quit the industry because of your girlfriend?”Helios blinked, looked around the room, and chuckled. “No matter what my decision is going to be, I think she’ll still support me, and my fans will definitely understand the reason behind my choice. And now, I also hope my fans won’t start arguments with anyone else or abuse others on any platform because of me. Although I might’ve left the circle, I’ll still be with you.”He bowed to all the attendees in t
Barbara’s cheeks were slightly warm as she buried her face in his shoulder and neck while he chuckled and carried her into the bedroom.The next day, because of last night’s downpour in Bussburgh, the cold weather could not have gotten any colder.It was 9:00 a.m. when it was still drizzling, Maisie took Lucy to several shops to discuss the rent and lease of those locations, and they finally chose a shop lot that was located in the Golden Triangle.As the two walked out of the building, Lucy held up an umbrella and walked next to Maisie. “Ms. Vanderbilt, only the rent would cost us $500,000 per year. Wouldn’t it be a little too expensive?”Maisie smiled. “The Golden Triangle is the most prosperous commercial center in Bussburgh. After all, it’s located in an area that has a large flow of people. A lot of foreign businessmen would fight each other just to secure themselves a location in this area for their business. Finding ourselves a shop lot here with an annual rent of only $500,
Madam Knowles had contacted Thomas through a certain medium and told him that the woman he loved was forced to death by Sam back. That was why Thomas would interfere in the Knowles' affairs.Maisie squinted. “So Elder Master Clifford chose to cooperate with Madam Knowles in order to get his revenge?”She chuckled after saying that. “If Sam really forced Elder Master Clifford’s lover to death, and Madam Knowles has used this condition to convince your grandfather into getting back at the Knowles, don’t you think it’s strange? Shouldn’t Sam be the one who gets killed first and not Elder Master Knowles, who has nothing to do with it?“Madam Knowles allowed Sam to live until he died of illness. How could your grandfather wait so patiently for so many years?”She stared at Jackie and uttered word by word, “If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to wait for that long. Unless there’s a reason for me to do so.”Jackie looked down as he thought about something. He then picked up the wine glass
Nolan’s expression dimmed. “No one is allowed to mention this. And pay close attention to the latest news. As soon as it’s reported in the country, you’re to immediately suppress and block the news.”Quincy nodded. “Yes.”…It was evening in Yaramoor. Zeta walked into the manor, took off her coat, handed it to the servant, and stepped into the study.She walked to the fireplace, leaned over next to Madam Knowles, and reported something. Madam Knowles, who was lying on the rocking chair, slowly opened her eyes. “Was everything done flawlessly?”Zeta nodded. “Bob claimed that he didn’t leave anyone alive behind.”Madam Knowles beckoned to the poodle lying at her feet. The poodle stood up, shook its body, and jumped into Madam Knowles’s arms. She then stroked the poodle’s fur. “That’s great. The young one is now dead. We’ll just leave the two old ones alive and let them live their remaining years in grief and regrets.”A commotion came from outside the study, and it was Tristan. He
Nolan lowered his head and chuckled. “I missed you too.”Maisie looked around the exit. “Where’s our daughter?”Nolan turned around while Daisie and Quincy slowly walked up to them from behind.Just when Maisie was about to go up to her and give her a hug, Daisie walked past her as if she had not seen her.Maisie was astonished. She turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with Daisie?”Quincy was a little awkward. “Mrs. Goldmann, Mr. Goldmann will explain everything to you.”Maisie turned to look at Nolan, and Nolan clenched his hand, placed it in front of his lips, and cleared his throat softly. “We’ll talk about it while we’re on our way home.”Daisie and Quincy sat in the rear of the car while Nolan and Maisie took the same car. Nolan recounted to Maisie what had happened to Daisie when they were on their way back.She was extremely dispirited because she had witnessed Nollace still get brought back to Yaramoor in the end, but she could not do anything to stop it. She felt li
