Maisie's eyes widened. "Jonathan," she shouted. He paused for a moment and slowed down. Everyone was horrified. The chair collided with the table, causing debris to scatter and chips to fly in all directions.Andrew quickly stepped forward and protected Maisie in his arms. He used his body to shie
Andrew rubbed Maisie's hair gently. "Stay calm. Go on." Maisie tugged her lips. Noah seemed to be not bothered by his defeat earlier. He slid the chips toward Maisie. "It doesn't matter. You'll lose anyway." Maisie narrowed her eyes and asked, "How can you be so sure?"Noah laughed. "It's because
Noah sneered. He could easily defeat Maisie without any assistance.Maisie raised her hand and signaled the dealer to continue the game. After the cards were laid out on the table, Maisie wagered on the Banker while Noah placed his bet on the Player.The crowd held their breath. This time, Noah was
Maisie was just being lucky in the previous rounds. Noah refused to believe she could keep winning. He was determined to win it back in the next round. Noah clenched his fist. "Of course!" Losing 15 billion in front of a crowd was tremendous pressure, yet he was unwilling to back down. Maisie wasn
Maisie raised an eyebrow at Noah. "Is that so?"The final cards were revealed. The seconds ticked in silence. Then…"Whoa, what's that?""Fuck, fuck, fuck!""God!""What the hell am I looking at?""That makes nine! You won, Maisie!""You're a god, Maisie! You won!""That's not possible!" Noah's grin
Alfred was taken aback by Maisie's request. Then, he returned to his senses and said, "Don't tell me my dad sent you here.""I wouldn't put it that way. We have a deal, that's all," Maisie said."Fuck! So you really have something to do with him! Was I your target all along?"Maisie cocked her head
James couldn't believe his ears. "No wonder he bet 25 billion dollars upon her return despite losing so horribly in the earlier rounds—he was sure he would win! How did you beat him, though?"If she can read the cards, could she have gotten them wrong in that final round? Is that why she gave Noah t
Maisie looked up to see Andrew unmoving beside her. His eyes were still shut, but he probably wasn't asleep. It would be a miracle if he could fall asleep while furious.She forced herself to lean over to him. "Andrew?"His brows twitched, but he didn't open his eyes."Andrew, which hotel are we sta
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
