Maisie frowned. She stood up straight and looked to Laura and Emmanuel. "Mom, I happen to have something to discuss with you." "Really? I also have something to tell both of you. Dad, her name is Luna. You've seen her before, remember?" Laura tugged Luna's hand and brought her in front of Emmanu
Luna stood in place and paused for a few seconds. She seemed to be in a dilemma.After a while, she silently took out her purse and then pulled out a collection of cards from it, placing them on the table as if she were making a big decision. "Mrs. Clarke, I haven't used any of the money you gave m

"Mr. Clarke, Ms. Bardot has been kidnapped." Upon receiving the call, Andrew stood up abruptly from his chair. His eyes were full of worry. He gripped the phone in his hand and rushed out of the office. "Where are you now?""Ms. Bardot just left the estate and was heading toward Howrah Bridge. I'm
Hendrick was taken by surprise by Jonathan's answer. He remarked, "That's certainly a creative reply, but remember, she's a Bardot. There's nothing wrong with a grandpa wanting to see his granddaughter. Mr. Wentworth, are you against that?""Meeting her? How about asking for her consent first, you h

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

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
