"Eleanor, please don't mind them. They just can't bear to force the child. Come and chat with me instead."Eleanor turned around, her face now wearing a gentle and charming smile as she held Laura's hand. "I understand, Mrs. Clarke.""Yes, you've always been sensible. By the way, is your marriage wi
Maisie would be there too. That's perfect.Elena responded with a smirk, "Alright, Eleanor. I'll definitely be there tonight."Eleanor tossed her phone aside after ending the call. She lifted a glass of red wine from the table, rose gracefully, and strolled toward the floor-to-ceiling window. Looki
The man held a glass of wine and grinned playfully. "Oh, isn't this Mr. Zink, Mr. Clarke's assistant? Since when did the Clarke family have such a beautiful young lady?"Harrison Gilligan deduced that the woman being accompanied by Andrew's assistant must be some favored miss from the Clarke fami

Maisie wouldn't take someone else's things for free.Eleanor hurriedly said, "It's not much. Mais, you don't need to be this polite. It's just a piece of clothing to me."Maisie fumbled while opening her handbag. Luckily, it was water-resistant, and her phone inside remained dry.Eleanor looked anxi
"Ms. Bardot, you'd better show us where you hid the necklace. It's the Collin family's heirloom, not an ordinary piece of jewelry."Maisie remained composed, standing her ground as she calmly addressed the person who had just spoken, "As I've said, I didn't take anything. What do you expect me to sh

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
Sapphire stood frozen at the doorway, covering her mouth in shock. She realized that she had been caught red-handed. She feared Hendrick's wrath if he discovered the shares were in her possession.Sapphire's eyes darted around anxiously. All she could think of was to hide until the shareholder meeti
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
