โI hope so too, Mr. Taylor.โ Nollace put down the cup and stood up. He slowly fastened the buttons on his shirt and turned around. Lucius watched and clenched his fists tightly as Nollace slowly disappeared from his vision. The butler breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of fear lingered in his heart. โSir, what do we do now?โLucius stopped beside him and ordered, โThis is your own business. You figure out how to settle it. I'll get rid of you if you can't settle it.โThe butlerโs face turned pale with fear.โฆEdison was standing in front of the car while Nollace came out of the Taylor manor. He opened the door for him, and they got into the car. Edison then started the engine and drove away.While they were on their way back, Edison looked at the rear mirror and said, โMr. Knowles, your visit will definitely arouse Mr. Taylor's vigilance. If it's really related to him, he'll surely erase everything that can raise our suspicion.โNollace placed his hand on his forehead and
โI can understand that you want to help your friend.โ Professor Merlin put on his glasses and started to sort out the documents on the desk. โBut Iโm worried that it might bring you some unwanted trouble if you poke your nose in it.โFreyja nodded. โI understand. Only someone from a powerful family can kill an inmate in prison with poison. And this powerful family is a threat to the prince and to the entire royal family.โThe prison was tightly secured. Even if they had someone in prison, an ordinary person would never be able to pull out such a feat. Besides, if they killed an inmate, it would also bring them a lot of trouble. However, since they had the guts to do it, they must be capable of getting the trouble out of their way.Professor Merlin crossed his fingers and placed his hands on the desk. He sat with his back straight and said, โSo, have you made up your mind?โFreyja said sternly, โYes, professor. Even if I canโt find out who the mastermind is, at the very least, I
Freyja felt that he was indicating something. She looked toward Professor Merlin and said, โI can assure you that this has nothing to do with the prince.โThe man frowned but did not say anything. Professor Merlin smiled and said, โCaptain Burke, meet my student. Sheโs interested in this matter as well.โCaptain Burke frowned and asked, โIs she related to the deceased?โโNope. But sheโs related to the prince. Heโs Brandonโs daughter.โCaptain Burke nodded. โI see.โFreyja looked at him and asked, โCan I ask you a question? What makes you think that this incident has something to do with the prince? Just because the princeโs man was around the scene when the suspect died?โ Captain Burke fell silent for a moment before saying, โAlthough we canโt confirm whether or not this has something to do with the prince, he was the first one to know that Bart might be the person who put the poison in the food. And Bart died because he knew too much. Only those who were involved in the poiso
Mia went to make tea.Daisie approached Freyja. โDid something happen to Nollace?โShe froze for a split second. โDaisie...โโFreyja, please at least give me something. Nollace hasnโt come back in two days, and when Edison came here the other day, he only told me that thereโs something that Nollace had to deal with, but I know that even if something huge was up, he would still give me a call and update me personally.โโIf he hadn't run into some accident, how could he have only asked Edison to convey his words to me? And he didnโt even give me a call or send me a text message in the past two days.โFreyja knew that she could no longer hide it from her, so she lowered her head. โIโm sorry, Daisie. He probably didnโt want you to worry, but you should trust him.โDaisie sat down. โYou guys donโt tell me anything. How do you expect me to believe in him?โFreyja took a deep breath and explained the matter slowly, โThe police have detained Nollace for investigation. The police suspect
At the detention centerโฆUnder Yorrickโs arrangement, Colton got a chance to meet Nollace. โWhat the hell are you doing? Why did you get yourself in jail?โNollace leaned on the back of the chair and took a glance outside. โWhy have you come to visit me? Do you have too much free time on hand?โโWho would be free enough to come all the way here just to visit you? Iโm asking what you want. Youโve got to the bottom of Daisieโs affairs and found out that it has something to do with the daughter of the Taylors. At the end of the day, why would you insist on investigating the death of the housekeeper?โโBy doing so, this ba*stard just dug your own grave with your own hands, didnโt he?โNollace chuckled. โWhat you did to expose the recording wonโt force the Taylors into compromising. Cloverโs death has something to do with the Taylors, but the witness is now dead, and I havenโt found any other piece of evidence. If I didnโt come in and lock myself here, who else would do so?โColton cr
Nollace shrugged indifferently, and Cecelia was on the brink of dying on the spot because of his complacency. โIโm indeed very proud of myself because the person who will end up in prison wonโt be me. As for the evidence thatโs putting me in here, clearing my suspicion is as easy as ABC. It only depends on whether Iโm willing to go to that extent or not.โShe sneered and gnashed her teeth. โStop deceiving yourself. Nollace Knowles, youโre now only a down-and-out prince who will be locked in prison, and no one can save you except me!โAt this time, a police officer suddenly opened the door and came in. โMr. Knowles, you can leave now.โCeceliaโs expression changed instantly. โHow is this possible!?โโHeโs the suspect who has the biggest motive, so how could he be released?โNollace squinted as he thought about the sudden turn of tides, only to hear the police officer continue. โYour wife has provided us with strong proof that you would not poison Clover Finlay.โNollace froze for
โIf I piss her off again, I donโt think Iโll be able to coax her.โEdison reported, โIโve found some clues. The butler of the Taylors comes from the north too. He and Bart Duval actually share the same hometown.โNollace supported his chin and thought about the information that they had obtained. โFrom the north, this seems to be a good clue. Send someone to the northern region to confirm this piece of information. By the way, deliberately release this information into the wind. Itโs best if that person gets to know about it.โEdison nodded. โUnderstood.โAs soon as Edison took his leave, Daisie grabbed him. โNollace, Madam Amesโ death has something to do with the Taylors, doesnโt it?โโMost probably, but we still need evidence.โ Nollace turned his head to face her, gazed at her, and held her hand. After that, he took her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. โDonโt worry. Iโm confident that weโll get to the bottom of his matter.โโฆAfter Cecelia returned from the precin
Luciusโ expression looked a little restless, but he still stood his ground firmly. โThat matter has nothing to do with Cecelia. The woman was the one who used Cecelia. Cecelia would definitely not do anything to persecute the royal heir.โโReally?โ Diana picked the teacup up from the saucer in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the clear tea. โIf this is the case, why is my son, someone who was investigating the cause of the housekeeperโs death, being framed as a suspect?โโYour Majesty, perhaps everything His Highness did was to avenge his wife. The prison guards and police found the murderer, and His Highness sent someone out to search for the murderer. However, the murderer had already been brutally killed when they got there. His Highness is very suspicious when you look subjectively at the matter.โโIf Nollace is suspicious, why isnโt Ms. Taylor suspicious too?โLuciusโs expression stiffened.Diana lifted her head, stared directly at Lucius, and spoke clearly. โThat houseke
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
