Semua Bab The Three Little Guardian Angels: Bab 491 - Bab 500

“Ma’am!” Saydie exclaimed.The waiter bowed and apologized in great panic. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”Maisie took out a handkerchief nimbly, wiped her hand, and then said with a smile, “It’s no big deal, you’re good to go.”Nolan looked at her. “I asked someone to prepare a gown just in case something like this happened. I think it should suit you very well, Ms. Henry. After all, the banquet is nowhere near over yet.”It seemed that she was planning to leave the venue halfway. However, the banquet was not over yet, so he said that to keep her here for now.Wesley grinned and said, “Indeed, Ms. Henry came to attend my banquet. She mustn’t be wearing clothes that are stained with wine. That would make other people think that I’m not playing a good enough host.”Maisie raised her head and accepted the kindness readily. “Then I might have to trouble you for the gown already, Mr. Goldmann.”Maisie asked Saydie to accompany her even when she went to change her attire in the guest room be

Nolan sat in the dimly lit study, rubbing his glabella until Quincy walked into the study with a glass of warm water.Over the years, Nolan had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep.“Sir, do you need me to look into Ms. Vanderbilt’s affairs?”That included how she had gotten involved with Mr. Henry and the paternity test.Nolan’s eyes dimmed. “No, I’ve more or less already speculated about her relationship with the Metropolis.”It was obvious why Erwin would serve her mother back then and even protect Maisie up until today.Nolan took out the medicine box and poured a pill onto his palm, but he did not take it immediately.Quincy looked at him. “Ms. Vanderbilt surely provoked Roger as soon as she arrived in Stoslo. And I think her appearance at Mr. David’s banquet tonight was to win Mr. David over to her side.”The corners of Nolan’s lips raised inexplicably. “But they couldn’t have ever imagined that I had already roped in Wesley.”‘Not only Roger wouldn’t have thought of

Nolan smiled, but it carried hints of sadness. He said in a low voice, “I was afraid that I would lose control if I saw you, just like how I saw you yesterday.”He approached her and blocked her path. “Zee, if you didn’t show up, I would have lost control and come to find you, but you showed up.”Nolan’s persistence and control had forced him not to think about it for three years. He had managed to fool everyone but himself. Maisie’s hand loosened, while her long lashes covered the emotions she had in her eyes. After a long time, she retracted her hand. “We should talk about our partnership.”Nolan looked down, smiled, walked to the desk, and picked up a file. “Here’s a list of candidates. Wesley gave it to me.”Maisie paused. “Why would he give this to you?”She snapped back to how she was in the past. Even if it was because they were talking business, he was content.Nolan approached and handed the file to her. “Because his concerns are the same as ours.”Maisie took the fil

Nolan stared at Quincy for a long time before his lips curled upward. He was unintentionally sarcastic. “You’ve been by my side all these years, but you colluded with my grandfather to keep me in the dark.”Nolan knew that his grandfather was behind the announcement of their divorce. His grandfather had also gotten Quincy to force Maisie to sign the divorce papers. He knew that Quincy wouldn’t have hidden this from him if not because of his grandfather’s orders.But how could he have stood on his grandfather’s side and kept him in the dark about such an important issue?“Mr. Goldmann, Elder Master Goldmann did that for your own good—”“For my own good?” Nolan scoffed and mocked himself, “I was the reason she lost our child. He did things for my own good, but now, I will be indebted to her and our child forever.”The child that was never born. He didn’t know about the child all these years. How was he supposed to make it up to them and face the truth?Nolan started coughing blood

“You’re still awake.” His voice was a little coarse but sounded sultry.Maisie paused and clenched her jaw. “Who told you that? I was asleep.”Nolan was quiet for a moment before quietly saying, “Your lights are still on.”Maisie got up and walked to her window. A black car was parked outside her gates, and Nolan was standing in front of the car, looking dashing and tall in a brown trenchcoat. The light shining on him made him look lonely.Maisie rubbed the center of her brows because her head was aching. “Nolan, do you need anything?” “No.” He looked up at the window. “I was just passing by.”Maisie laughed. “You drove all the way here to pass by? Mr. Goldmann, your excuse is terrible.”“Roger sent someone to see you.” Nolan took a cigarette out of the packet.Maisie squinted. “How did you find out?”Nolan held the cigarette in his hand but didn’t put it to his lips. “He wouldn’t give up on the de Armas’ territory.”“That’s true, but I won’t back down either.” Maisie turned
