The men in the crowd were staring at Maisie’s curvaceous body.When men looked at women, they would usually start at their bodies and move toward the face. Who wouldn’t like a woman with a great body and a pretty face?However, right after that man said that, he shuddered because he felt a pair of eyes on him. The stare seemed to have come from… where Mr. Goldmann was standing!After the dance ended, a round of applause erupted.Maisie walked away from the crowd in a hurry while trying to find Ryleigh. Suddenly, someone held onto her. She turned around, and she was standing right in front of Nolan.“You—”Before she could finish, “swoosh”, a jacket covered her from the top.Maisie took off his jacket and doubtfully asked, “What is this supposed to mean?”“Put it on.” Nolan sounded a little commanding.Maisie smiled. “But this is how this gown looks, why should I—”Nolan suddenly pushed her behind some curtains, putting one hand on the wall and holding her close with the other

What was wrong with this man?Nolan opened the car door and said in a somewhat commanding voice, “I’m not going to have a discussion. Get in.”Maisie laughed. She had seen women who were unreasonable but never men!She got in the car with a stoic expression.When Nolan asked for her address, Maisie hesitated and seemed to have thought of something. “Just stop at the crossroads of Oceana Drive.”She wasn’t going to let him send her all the way to her front door.Nolan slightly frowned.‘Oceana Drive? Isn’t that where the villas by the beach are?Nolan stopped at the crossroads of Oceana Drive. After Maisie got off, she said thanks and left.Nolan didn’t leave immediately. He had his eyes on the direction she was headed. That really was the beach villa area!Maisie walked into the beach villa area. She was careful and kept walking when she got to her villa instead of going in.Nolan stopped his car just outside the beach villa area while watching the silhouette walk further in

Kennedy looked up. “But your father already gave the shares to Willow. It’s going to be hard to get her to give them up, and on top of that, “that person” is behind her.”“That person” was Mr. Goldmann.Maisie’s lips curled. “I’ve been observing their relationship ever since I returned. Even if Nolan is protecting Willow, how long would he be able to do that for?”“What do you mean?”“Nolan and Willow have been together for six years, but he has no intentions of marrying her. Even though I don’t know the reason, one thing is possible to conclude.”Maisie’s eyes slightly turn cold. “He’s not keen on the idea of marrying Willow, which means he’s not planning on marrying her. Willow can only stick to him for a short time. It wouldn’t be hard for Nolan to find a woman who’s better than her. It’s just a matter of time for me to take back the shares of Vaenna from Willow.”Kennedy knew her words were true, but he was still worried. “There’s no guarantee to this. What if Mr. Goldmann do

Maisie turned around and looked at her. “Are you sure?”If she went to meet Taylor Jewelry by herself, there might still be a little hope, but if Willow went, she probably wouldn’t even get to meet them.Willow smiled. “I can’t let you do everything while I do nothing.”Maisie sniggered in her heart. Her “hunger for knowledge” was so strong just because she wanted to be on Nolan’s good side.“Alright.”“Zee…” Kennedy wanted to say something, but Maisie had already handed the agreement to her. “That’s the partnership proposal with Taylor Jewelry. Thank you for doing this.”Nolan frowned, and his lips turned into a thin line.Willow was happy that Maisie was really willing to give her agreement to her. If she could close the deal, Nolan would look at her in a different light.If this woman was going to pass on the opportunity, she couldn’t blame her.Maisie walked back to her office alone. A deep voice came from behind her. “You knew that she wasn’t going to close the deal with

Seeing that Maisie ignored her, Leila blocked her. “What are you doing?”“Get out of the way.” Maisie pushed her aside, ignoring the people who were talking behind her, and went straight to the study. She slammed the documents on the desk. Stephen was shocked at her actions, and his face sank. “How dare you come back?”“Do you think I want to come back here? I came to ask you something.” Maisie held the document. “What happened to my mother’s shares?”Stephen was stunned. He didn’t think she would ask about this.Seeing that Stephen was quiet, Maisie continued. “My mother founded Vaenna, and it’s shared equity with you. Why would her shares become yours when she passed?”“Are you questioning me?” Stephen raised his voice. Leila, who was eavesdropping outside, was wondering why Maisie came to see Stephen, but when she heard arguments, she was glad. That’s right, the worse the argument between the two of you, the better.“Give me a good explanation then.” Maisie kept her interr
