"This is the fortune that we've built together. What right do you have to decide to give it to them unilaterally?""They're my daughters. I never raised them as a father, so what's wrong with me preparing some dowry for them? You got someone to harm Sapphi like that, so this little bit of compensati
The voice came from the door. Everyone turned to see who it was. Ingrid scowled and narrowed her eyes. "Who is it?"Laura stormed into the room. Fulton saw that she looked like she wanted to rip someone's throat out. He had already tried and failed to stop her, so he decided not to do anything.Mais
Maisie would always have someone to back her up unconditionally. But her? She felt disappointed as she looked at Roxy. Earlier, when Jarvis had played nice with them, Roxy's first reaction had been to tell her to just grin and bear it.If Maisie was the one who'd been bullied last night, every membe
Maisie and the others had their backs to Sapphire, so they didn't notice her. Maisie knew what Roxy was worried about. After some thought, she said, "Grandma, before Sapphire fell sick, Philip thought of her as the Bardot Group's only heir."I'm sure he must've taught her how to manage the company.
"Come closer and I'll tell you," Andrew said.Maisie didn't stop to think about whether she was walking into a trap. She leaned closer to him. He had her right where he wanted her. He held the back of her head and tilted her head up so that he could kiss her.Andrew could taste the sweetness of the
"Mom, Dad, Junie, and El are around. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to catch us like this." She held his hand. "This is much better. Let's go."Andrew shook his head with a smile. Still, Maisie's concerns were quite valid. As they left the study, Laura happened to pass by with June and Elio.Th
Hendrick smiled. "What could I possibly be up to? I only wanted to comfort you because I thought you looked pitiful crying alone like this."Sapphire snorted. "Comfort me? You? Ha! You'd never be that kind."Hendrick tutted and shook his head. "It looks like you have a horrible impression of me.""I
As expected, Roxy didn't handle the matter well. Shaun was worried that Maisie and Sapphire would fall out with each other over Roxy's methods, so he thought long and hard before calling to try and talk some sense into Sapphire.But despite his attempts to be tactful, Sapphire hung up on him without
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
