Gail lowered her head. โThank you for the compliment, Mr. Puzo.โFabio patted her shoulder and turned around to look at Buchanon. It was only then Buchanon came around to his senses and said, โMs. Leroy, you indeed are one hell of a killer.โNot only had she chopped his head off, but she even brought the head back. It was not something that anyone could do.Fabio retracted his hand and sat on the couch. โHow about the mole? Did you discover anything?โBuchanon had been startled by the head, so it was only now that he came around to his senses. When he heard Fabioโs question, cold beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead as he remembered what Donald had told him.He looked at Gail and forced a smile on his face. โIโve checked everyone in the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. Thereโs nothing wrong with them, butโฆโโBut what?โ Fabio placed the cup of tea near his lips.Buchanon told him about the fight Manuel had with Sunny in front of the hospital that day. He lifted his head and
The people in The Serpents were filled with fear when they heard about Mateo's death. Even though they were no longer in Fabio's territory, they did not know about Joaqin's whereabouts, and there was no one to lead them now. Soon, Fabio sent someone over and took some of them back while the rest of them went into hiding. There were not many people left in The Serpents, and they were on the verge of disbanding.Meanwhile, in the hospitalโฆMateoโs men had all gathered in Joaqinโs ward. When Joaqin heard of Mateoโs death, he was filled with grief and hated himself for being powerless.Cameron and her men appeared in front of the ward, and the crowd in the ward all turned their heads to look at her.She stopped in front of Joaqinโs bed and said, โMy father said heโll give you an explanation regarding Mateoโs death.โJoaqin did not say anything, but the people in the ward were agitated. โExplanation? What kind of explanation? Mr. Southern Sr. said that heโd help us, but what happened
Mahina shook her head as she did not know anything either.The two walked out of the hospital and came to the front of the car. Cameron had just opened the door and got into the car when she saw another person in the rear seat and was startled. โWhy are you here?โWaylon leaned against the car window with his hand propped against the side of his forehead and turned to look at her. โDonald is at the casino investigating the identity of the woman who revealed Andreiโs identity.โCameron closed the car door, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him. โAre you worried about me?โHe looked away and did not utter a single word.Mahina took a peek in the rearview mirror as she drove them away from the scene. โThe young master and the eldest son of the Goldmanns really make a great couple.โShe suddenly thought of why such gossip about the two of them would spread around. Anyone who saw the two of them together would most probably think so too.Cameron noticed her fixed gaze and patted
Donald turned around, walked behind the desk, sat down in the director's chair, and tapped his fingers against the table. โWhat about Neal Beck? Havenโt we sent someone to keep an eye on him?โโAbout this...โ Chunky lowered his head. โThat person hasnโt come back yet, and Iโve failed to get into contact with him.โAll the items on the desk were instantly swept to the groundโthe most direct eruption of emotions occurred without warning.Chunky did not dare to say a word. He did not even dare to breathe.His expression looked gloomy and sulky. โThat useless piece of sh*t! It seems heโs been discovered.โโEven if heโs been discovered, no one will ever suspect you.โโOh, really?โ Donald glared at him. โManuel has been exposed, and the Southern Clan knows that he and I are connected because of the account book, and itโs just a matter of time for them to start to suspect me.โChunky was at a loss for words.Donald rubbed the bridge of his nose and leaned back into the chair. โThat wo
โBesides, do you really think heโll be able to accept this sudden news?โCameron crossed her arms and did not say anything.Sunny said earnestly, โYour Uncle Damian is just asking you to go and meet the girl, so just go. Moreover, the girl might not even like you, so just take it as a facade you have to play.โShe turned around, walked to the door, stopped, turned around, and smirked. โOkay, Iโll go, but just in case I take a fancy to her, youโll be the one who marries her since I donโt mind having a stepmother at my age.โโGet out!โAt the same time as the book was thrown at her, Cameron quickly dashed out of the door, and the book could only hit the door.Sunny rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing.โWhy are everyone elseโs daughters cute and graceful princesses, while mine is like a goon on the streets? All she knows is to piss me off.โโฆAs night approached, the yellow street lamps lit up. The lights in the clubhouse flashed beautifully, creating an illusion of a linger
โNice, thatโs a very interesting name.โ Buchanon nodded and poured her more liquor. โSince you claimed that youโre good at drinking, then accompany me to drink. As long as you can keep me entertained and delighted for the night, youโll definitely get a huge tip at the end of today.โAn imperceptible coldness surged from the bottom of Yanisโ eyes. โItโs my pleasure to be able to serve you tonight.โIn the room, Buchanon had drunk several glasses of liquor in succession, and his cheeks were slightly flushed at the moment. He had been very grumpy all night and had been drinking in a hurry, so he was already almost completely drunk.Yanisโ expression remained unchanged. She took a glimpse at him through a sideways glance and saw that he was almost drunk, so she put down her glass. โSir, do you have something on your mind? I wonder if Iโll be honored enough to be your listener for the night?โBuchanon had suppressed his dissatisfaction for a very long time and had drunk so much over the
Nollace sat in front of the laptop and started to decipher the folder using hacking tools. After half an hour, he finally cracked the password of the folder. He then skimmed through all the documents found inside the folder and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw something.After a while, he took out the USB flash drive, turned off the laptop, got up, and left the room.Jake drove to the hotelโs parking lot and waited. Nollace took off his wig and got into the car.Jake took a glance in the rearview mirror.โJesus Christ! This man still looks so good even when he is dressing up as a woman. I guess heโs the one person in the world who can achieve this.โโYou shouldnโt have exposed yourself, right?โNollace rubbed off the makeup on his face. โHeโs so drunk that even if he recalls what happened tonight, he may not remember who the lady is.โJake drove away from the hotel. โFabio assigned some of the management rights of the Parkin Chamber of Commerce to its branches. Buchanon mu
Daisie moved away. โYou canโt hug me if you donโt explain.โNollace was troubled because he didnโt know how to explain. There was a knock on the door, and Jakeโs voice came from behind the door. โMr. Beck, your bag of clothes was left in the car.โNollce placed his hand on his forehead and walked to the door to get the bag from Jake. โThanks.โAfter the door closed, Daisie took her bag and was going to leave when Nollace blocked the doorway. She mumbled, โPlease move. Iโm leaving.โNollace was amused. โYouโre really angry?โโI came to see you, but you treated me this way. Youโve changed, you *sshole.โ She pushed him away and then grabbed the door handle, but Nollace handed the bag to her. โDo you want to take a look?โShe turned back. โWhatโs that?โShe took the bag and opened it. It was womenโs clothes, a wig, perfume, and makeup.Daisie picked up the bottle of perfume and sniffed at it. It was the one on Nollace. She figured it out and looked at him in shock. โAre youโฆ Ar
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
