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

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
