However, Sandy did not make any moves against the Knowles even after Nollace came to Zlokova.Nollace said, โThatโs because my grandfather is there. She wouldnโt dare to do anything to the Knowles. Besides, itโs exactly because Iโm not in Yaramoor that itโll be easier to take me out than going up against the Knowles?โ Edison felt he was right. If something were to happen to Nollace when he was in another country, it was something that both Sandy and Donald would want to see.In any case, regardless of what Sandy was up to, it was always not wrong to stay alert.The night was falling, and the city lit up.Colton returned to the Goldmann mansion. After getting out of the car, he rushed all the way to the mansion. When he heard from the butler that Maisie was in the study room, he went upstairs.Maisie was sitting behind the table, working on her new design with rapt attention. When she heard the knocking on the door, she froze and said, โCome in.โColton pushed the door open and
Colton lowered his head to look at her. He could see how worried she was about that kid. After a short while, he said, โOkay. Iโll help you.โHe knew very well that even though Deedee was Kenโs daughter, she was brought up by Freyja. Besides, it was not a problem for him to raise another kid.Freyja was surprised. โYouโre fine with it?โColton took off his jacket and put it on the hanger. โIโll say yes to everything as long as you ask.โFreyja was stunned. Colton approached her and placed his hand on her stomach. โBut you need to promise me that you wonโt go to see your mother.โThe next dayโฆFreyja came downstairs after waking up at 10:00 a.m. When she saw there were another four maids in the living room, she was slightly taken aback.The maids also noticed her, and they all greeted her respectfully, โYouโre awake, Ms. Pruitt.โโWho are you guys?โโMaโam asked us to come and take care of you. If you have anything you need, just let us know. Oh yeah, while you were sleepin
โLeonardo.โ Colton lifted his eyelids. โContact the publishing companies that published these magazines and tell them to get the money ready.โโMoney?โ Leonardo was stunned for a while before understanding what Colton was going to do. โYouโre going to sue them?โColton put the cap of the pen back on and said, โWe're going to sue them for slander, disinformation, and spreading fictitious facts to degrade the reputation of others. Whether or not they want to compensate for our loss or shut down, I'll let them make the choice.โLeonardo nodded. โUnderstood.โAs soon as Leonardo came out of the office, he saw Daisie rushing down the corridor. However, before he could say anything, Daisie pushed the door to the office open.โColton.โColton raised his head to see Daisie pressing her hands on the desk. โHas Mrs. Pruitt come to Bassburgh?โHe frowned. โYes.โDaisie took a deep breath and continued. โNow sheโs spreading fake news to discredit Freyja. If Freyja sees those things she sai
Sandy vaguely heard them talking about the Goldmanns. โHmph! It seems like Iโve underestimated that girl.โSandy returned to her room. When she saw that Deedee was sitting with her entire body shivering in the corner, she flew into a rage. โHow can you be so useless? I brought you here, yet you canโt do anything. You should have died in your motherโs womb back then.โDeedee lowered her head and sobbed.Sandy walked up to her and pulled her up from the floor.She shrunk and cried, โGrandma, Iโll be a good girlโโSandy kicked her into the corner and shouted, โStop crying! All you know is crying.โDeedee fell on the floor. Her back hit the desk, knocking off the glass of water on top of the desk and causing the water in the cup to spill across the desk. The cup fell on her forehead, and some of the water dampened her hair.A red welt soon appeared on her forehead. Her cheeks were wet, and her countenance was pale. She sobbed weakly, and her body was trembling. Just when Sandy w
โI donโt even care to intervene.โ He scoffed and then added at the end, โBut Freyja is one of the members of the Goldmanns now, and youโre not in the position to interfere in her affairs. If you dare to do so again and continue to confuse the public, donโt blame me for not reminding you. After all, even the foundation of the Reeses, a family that sat above you, could be shaken and brought down by the Goldmanns, let alone your family.โSandy trembled violently as if she had been shocked by electricity, and the blood on her cheeks gradually faded.โHeโs not threatening me based on those empty words. Given the Goldmannsโ strength, he can indeed live up to his words. The Goldmanns and the Hathaways are now one, and the power of the two families will even give the nobles a hard time.โSeeing that Colton was leaving with his men, Sandy stumbled and could only hold on to the wall for support.She gnashed her teeth secretly. โDamn it, that b*tchโs backer is truly powerful.โโHowever, alth
Daisie held the back of Freyjaโs hand. โYou have to trust Colton. Heโll definitely solve this matter. As for Deedee, I know sheโs an innocent child too, and Colton wonโt just sit by idly and watch as she perishes.โFreyja smiled.Daisie waited for a while before leaving. She walked out of the courtyard, and a familiar car was parked beside the road outside the courtyard.The rear window slowly lowered, and the person in the car was Nollace.The light was reflected on the glass, and he was wearing a white shirt, which was accompanied by his unparalleled appearance.Daisie stopped in front of the car. โHow did you know I was here?โShe had not told Nollace that she was at Freyjaโs.Nollace gave off a faint smile. โI guessed that youโd see the news, and from what I know about you, youโd be here.โDaisie opened the door, got into the car, and whispered, โIs there anything you donโt know about me?โNollace stroked her hair. โYou can learn more about me too.โSpeaking of understand
The ring fell to the floor, leaving a soft, crisp sound.Daisie squatted down to pick up the ring and found a small gap in the middle of the ring.She took the ring into her hand and wondered. โHow could the ring...โSeeing something, she was stunned for a moment and took the ring apart, revealing a device that was smaller than an ant in front of her eyes.In the study, Nollace sat behind the desk. His fingers were interlocked, and his hands were propped against his chin as he was still thinking about the matter between Donald and Sandy.The screen of his cell phone lit up. He glanced at it and saw a notification informing him that the tracking device had gone offline. He could not help but be astounded.He subconsciously reacted to something in his mind, but Daisie had already pushed open the door.โNollace Knowles!โ She rushed over and slammed the ring he had given her three years ago in front of him. It was obvious that she had discovered the secret hidden in the ring. โYouโd
โI can no longer let her go.โA palm abruptly grasped his fist, and the warmth from the hand filled his silent heart. Nollace was slightly startled. He looked down at Daisie, who had approached him while he was in a daze, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.Daisie lowered her head. โNollace, I donโt care if youโre perfect or not.โโReally?โ Nollace wrapped his arms around her waist, took her into his arms, and lifted her chin. His lips seemed to be moving closer to her cheek, and the scorching breath brushed against her fair skin. โDo you really know me? Iโm not as perfect as you think. Iโm a very stingy person, Iโve always wished that you would only belong to me, and I always want to gouge out anybodyโs eyes whenever they get to feast their eyes on you.โHe brushed his five fingers through the ends of her half-dry hair, placed his hands on the back of her head, and rubbed the corners of her lips with his fingertips. โIf you get bored of me and abandon me someday, then I really
โDaisie.โ Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. โYou look so pretty today.โโThank you,โ Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. โI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.โDaisie clinked glasses with her. โSame goes for you and Morrison.โAfter the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. โYou were great earlier today.โShe giggled. โReally?โNolan added, โYouโll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.โDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. โDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieโs hand.โโConsider yourself lucky.โ Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. โYouโd better treat my daughter well from now on.โNollace glanced at Daisie. โDonโt worry. Sheโll forever be my one and only.โMaisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriageโthe streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrickโs Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisieโs hand and smiled suddenly. โYou have sweaty palms.โDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, โIโm nervous.โHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. โIโm here, so donโt be nervous. Just take it easy.โDaisieโs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. โYou look nice in this uniform.โNollace chuckled. โAnd my bride looks stunning too.โArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
โBy the way, whereโs Cameron?โ asked Morrison.Waylon replied, โSheโs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iโm going to go meet them already, so Iโll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.โAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. โHeโs changed now that he has a wife.โโYouโre speaking as if you havenโt changed.โ Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. โHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.โMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. โMrs. Goldmann.โMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. โHave you finished catching up?โโOf course. Didnโt you want to go to the Hathawaysโ villa with Dad in the afternoon?โNolan smiled. โI was waiting for you. Weโre just going over to have a meal together.โQuincy walked up to Saydieโs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. โThen Iโll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momโs jewelry company and design.โNollace hugged her from behind. โYou can do anything as long as you like it.โโฆThe members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, โGodfather!โStrix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, โNolly, Iโm really looking forward to our wedding.โโReally?โ Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. โIโm looking forward to it too.โโI can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.โHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. โYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.โDaisie turned her head around. โWhat are your wishes?โโMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.โShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
โYeah, itโs true,โ replied Zephir.โIt seems like youโve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.โ Naomi patted his shoulder. โI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.โ He smiled at her but did not say anything.โฆSoon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. โMommy! Daddy!โShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. โYouโre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.โShe smiled back at them and said, โBut I know Iโll always be your kid in your eyes.โMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. โIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.โFreyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. โWhat a coincidence.โโMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,โ said Leah. โWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.โDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, โThen you should stay a few more days with us.โAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. โSheโs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheโs my sister. Her name is Daisie.โโIโve seen them before at your wedding,โ said Morrison. โYour sister is my wifeโs classmate. She has told me before.โโSince when did I become your wife? Thereโs a chance I may not marry you in the future,โ said Leah.โWeโre already engaged. If you donโt want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?โ Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, โEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?โ Leah cleared her throat and replied, โWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, โ$10 for three chances.โโ$10 for three chances only? Thatโs expensive,โ commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, โIโm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.โ Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, โLet's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.โAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, โPlease give us six hoops.โThe stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, โLeave it to me.โShe squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. โWhatโs the matter? You canโt sleep?โโYeahโฆโ She buried her head in his chest and said, โI want to go to take a leak, but Iโm a little bit scared.โNollace kissed her forehead and said, โIโll go with you then.โBoth of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, โYou wait for me here.โNollace nodded. โJust shout my name if you need anything.โShe walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollaceโs arm. โAlright, letโs go
