Yorrick squinted and smiled. โI donโt think the Queenโs decision poses any problem.โThe man asked angrily, โDonโt you mind if someone were to take your place in the cabinet?โโIf someone else has the ability, Iโll be happy to step down from my current position. After all, there will be a time when all of us will have to retire, isnโt that right?โ Yorrick still had a smile on his face, and the members were unable to tell whether he truly meant what he said or if he was trying to mock them.Those people looked dissatisfied but did not utter a single word.Yorrick then glanced at Lucius. โI heard that your daughter was hospitalized. Is she okay?โAs soon as Cecelia was brought up, Luciusโ gaze dimmed. โWhere did you hear this from?โโI didnโt say anything about it. I wonโt even allow rumors about things that wonโt do the Taylors any good to exist, let alone spread.โYorrick gave off a faint smirk. โIโm not very sure where I saw it. Itโs from one of the media outlets, so itโs a lit
Not only that, Cecelia even exposed all the call recordings and text messages between her and Clover.The netizens were taken aback by such a turnaround and were obviously irritated by Ceceliaโs remarks.#Is this b*tch very proud of her own status?##Are the Taylors really a thing? Arenโt they just another pack of dogs that the royal family raises as pets? Are the dogs actually looking down on their owner now?##Weโre just some stupid commoners, so we shouldnโt sympathize with her, should we?##Is there something wrong with this woman?##It turns out that sheโs failed to seduce the prince, so she now holds a grudge against him and has started defaming him. This is ridiculous.#Public opinion once again set off a huge wave on the Internet and pushed the topic up to the number one most discussed topic on Twitter and multiple other platforms.At the other end of the post, Cecelia was dumbfounded when she saw such remarks on the Internet. โHow is this possible? I didnโt even post t
Edison paused because he was trying to guess what was on Nollaceโs mind, then after a while, he finally answered. โI havenโt informed anyone, but I canโt be sure if nobody found out.โAfter ten minutes, they both waited in the hall, and the section chief walked out with the autopsy report. โYouโre here, Your Highness.โNollace looked at the report. โWhat did you find?โHe replied, โWe found some amatoxin in her body. This toxin is found in poisonous mushrooms. Consuming too much of it can cause heart failure.โAfter that, he flipped a page. โBut what we found weird is that the food in prison is strictly prepared, so it shouldnโt just show up in the food. We didnโt find any of the poison in her cell either.โEdison whispered to Nollace, โSomeone was bribed?โNollace squinted but didnโt reply. After they left the Bureau of Justice, he rested his arm on Edisonโs shoulder and smiled. โI have a mission for you.โEdison nodded. โSure.โNollace blocked the news about Cloverโs death
The reporters left. Hedeon walked into the main hall with Nollace. โNollace, whatโs going on? Madam Ames is dead?โHe didnโt know anything about that. Nollace stopped in front of the elevator and calmly nodded. โYes.โHedeon suddenly understood. โSo, the reporters were here to frame you? Who would be dumb enough to paint themselves as a suspect?โNollace had blocked the news, so only the people who worked in prison and the bureau knew. Once the news got out, it would mean that people from these two places were the โproblemโ. He looked at Hedeon and tapped his shoulder. โYouโre quite clever.โโI have to be if I want to hang out around you.โ Hedeon flashed a big smile. Nollace nodded. โI orchestrated the entire thing.โHedeonโs smile faded as he followed him into the elevator. โAre you joking?โโDo you think I am?โโNo, but the reporters todayโฆ You arranged for them to come over?โโThey didnโt know that.โ Nollace looked at him and squinted. โNow that you know, if you let th
During the time the news was blocked, the person they engaged with was let out of prison. However, they would be in trouble if this was exposed and the prison department started looking into it. The butler was sweating profusely. โWhat should we do then?โMr. Tyler sat on his chair with a solemn face. โSilence them forever.โThe butlerโs legs went weak, and he was in shock. โSir, but heโs myโโMr. Tyler didnโt give him a chance to think about it. โIf he doesnโt die, you will. You hear?โThe butler touched his throat and didnโt dare make a peep. โฆIt was dark outside when the lights at Blue Valley Manor lit up.Edison walked into the study and saw Nollace in a black silk robe standing in front of the window.โSir, the prison department has done a thorough inspection. Other than one person who was on sick leave, everyone who was in contact with Clover was investigated.โNollace squinted and looked at the man behind him through the reflection. โOn sick leave on that day?โโYe
Nonetheless, Daisie believed that Nollace would be able to get his name cleared. After she walked into the room, Daisie looked up at Mia and said, โYou can wait outside.โMia nodded, watched her go in, and walked around the corridor.After 15 minutes, Daisie walked out.Mia walked over and asked, โHow did it go?โDaisie handed her the pictures from the ultrasound. Mia leaned closer and was shocked. โOh wow, twins?โDaisie shushed her. โKeep it a secret for now. Donโt let anyone know that we still have the babies.โNollace had announced that Clover and Cecelia had caused her miscarriage because he had plans. She had to play along to protect the children. Mia covered her mouth and nodded. โYes, maโam.โDaisie and Mia walked out of the hospital and bumped into Cecelia walking toward them, seemingly there for a check-up too. It was probably because of the side effects of taking the medication.When Cecelia saw them, her expression changed as she removed her sunglasses and gla
The bodyguard approached Daisie. Mia yelled, โHelp!โThe bodyguards who came with them heard Miaโs voice and noticed that something was going to happen, so they rushed over. They surpassed Ceceliaโs guards in numbers. Mia pointed at Cecelia. โThis woman wants to beat up our maโam. What are we going to do about that?โCecelia didnโt realize that they had brought their bodyguards too. She clenched her jaw and arrogantly said, โSo what? Thatโs my turf. Are your men going to touch me? Iโm a Taylor. Youโre not going to survive in Yaramoor if anything happens to me.โDaisie smirked and looked at the bodyguards. โDo it.โThe bodyguards didnโt care who Cecelia was and started beating her men up. All of them were professional fighters, so they were able to easily subdue the others. Cecelia backed away, looking pale. โAre you crazy? Iโm a TaylโโBefore she could finish, one of the men gave her a slap that made her fall to the floor.Cecelia was disoriented as her ear rang. There was
Nollaceโs face sank. โIt seems like she still hasnโt learned her lesson yet.โ Cecelia might have already succeeded if he hadn't had some bodyguards to protect Daisie around the clock. โWell, sheโs a Taylor, and her father is her biggest supporter. Do you think she'll have any respect for other people? Even the most powerful capitalist is raised by the Taylors.โHedeon could see the whole picture better than anyone else. After all, there were countless plutocrats or rich kids in Haniston who took advantage of their family background to get everything their way. As long as their families remained standing, they could do everything they wanted to, and nobody could stop them.That was unless their families went down the hills or fell from grace.Nollace was playing with the pen between his fingers when he received a message from Edison.Edison was chasing after the two men on the street, but he soon lost sight of them.He clicked his tongue and gnashed his teeth tightly. He went b
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
