Janice stamped her foot in frustration, pulling at Elena's arm."Elena, why were you so polite to her just now? The manager should fire that rude usher.""Are you dumb? You would have been thrown out before you could get anyone fired. The Elysium has its rules—troublemakers, no matter how noble thei
Why bother explaining when they had already misunderstood? The praise she received today inflated her ego after days of suppression.Janice rolled her eyes, thinking how shameless it was to claim a party that wasn't hers. Meanwhile, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up to the entrance. Igor quickly got o
Maisie took a moment, sighing softly as a mixture of feelings welled up inside her.Sadie spotted Maisie and waved at her. Maisie moved toward her friend, and as she did, many eyes in the room followed, reluctant to look away.Elena watched, fists clenched, as the attention she had been receiving sh

"I never said today's my birthday. You all have made a mistake," Elena denied.So that it wasn't her fault but the others for mistaking it's her birthday. But these rich and prestigious women were all as cunning as foxes. They would have figured out what Elena was trying to pull. She was such a bit

After leaving the Garrison residence, Andrew and Maisie headed home. Maisie couldn't help but smirk when she noticed Andrew trailing behind her with a mournful expression. She turned to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?""Are you angry?" Andrew inquired. Suppressing a smile, Maisie responded,
Maisie pressed her lips together and added, "Indeed, Mr. Garrison, we've caused enough trouble for your family. We'll take our leave now." With apologies off the table and Andrew's attendance at the event with Rose out of the question, further negotiation was now futile. Maisie did not attempt to p
"Shut up," Edmund muttered, wondering how he ended up with such a foolish daughter.Although Hendrick and Maisie were both vying for the shares, Maisie seemed to have the upper hand. Selling the shares to her now could earn them some goodwill from Andrew in the future. But Rose wasn't considering an
Valerie couldn't help but notice her daughter's infatuation and sighed inwardly. "Have you forgotten he's already married?""What's the big deal?" Rose shrugged.Valerie gently tapped Rose's forehead and said firmly, "Rose, let's be realistic here. It's fine to have feelings for someone, but he's al

Wrapped in a sleek black coat, Andrew approached, exuding a dignified and icy demeanor. A faint smile graced his handsome face as he held his phone to his ear, staring at her. Maisie was momentarily taken aback and blinked in surprise. "Andrew, is that really you?" His presence caught her off guar
Maisie looked at Sapphire, who was flaunting her dominance, and simply pursed her lips. "Oh," she replied calmly, not wanting to engage further.However, Sapphire persisted. She tried to stop Maisie. "You won't find any useful information here with Grandma. Just a friendly reminder to save your ene
"Get out." Andrew's voice was cold and unforgiving."Sir, what did I do wrong?" Fiona pleaded for an answer, but Andrew merely shot her a cold glance, unwilling to entertain further discussion.Fiona wasn't ready to let it go. She couldn't simply accept being dismissed. After all, she had compromise
Maisie returned to the villa with Elio and June and left James to keep them company at home. Initially, James objected. Andrew had instructed him to protect Maisie, and he feared for her safety if she ventured out alone. However, Maisie insisted, and she eventually departed with Gilman and the othe
