All eyes in the banquet hall were fixed on the man who had just entered in a wheelchair. Even those who barely knew who he was could sense his power; it was evident that he was no ordinary person. His striking appearance caught everyone's attention, and the ladies in the room couldn't help but gasp. "Mr. Nolan Rothschild," the head of the Raymond family rushed forward out of nowhere to welcome Nolan, shocking everyone. Nolan? Who hadn't heard of Nolan? But who would have imagined they would meet him here, especially after the Rothschilds had rejected the Raymond's invitation? They had heard he was in a wheelchair, but no one could have fathomed that he would still look more impressive than anyone else in the room. Ignoring his frail body, the old man ran up to Nolan to pay his respects. George, the eldest member of the Raymond household, had been secluded in his study room since the beginning of the ceremony. However, upon hearing that the Rothschilds had arrived, he rushed out of
"How dare you try to touch me!" The noble ladies continued to struggle with the family guards. "Ma'am, I suggest you cooperate with us," one of the guards said patiently to the woman, but she misinterpreted his intentions. "Are you suggesting that I am the one who stole the artifact?" The woman retorted angrily. "Do you know the family I come from?" She raised her voice even louder. The family's artifacts had been stolen, and chaos ensued. The entire ceremony had been turned upside down, leaving the newlywed couple disappointed. The room was now undergoing a thorough search, with no one allowed to leave or enter. Hailey and Nolan, however, sat quietly, observing the chaotic scene. Only they remained untouched; who would dare accuse the Rothschilds or lay a hand on them? The Raymond household had been renowned for their special artifacts for generations, passed down successfully. The thought of them being lost during George's tenure as the family head sent a wave of fear gripping
"Then why don't you search me instead of searching my wife?" Nolan's voice was harsh, filling the entire room. George and the guards immediately stepped back. They didn't want to go against the Rothschilds. "I'm sorry, Master Nolan, but we might still have to proceed with the search," a woman walked out, dressed in a pure white gown that made her appear angelic. She was the true keeper of the artifacts, having stayed at the Raymond household all her life, looking after the family's precious artifacts that had suddenly vanished into thin air. Although she deeply respected the Rothschilds, the artifacts were of utmost importance to them. She was prepared to go against protocol to find the person bold enough to steal the artifacts. "Don't you think it's high time you defend yourself, young miss?" She turned to face Hailey. "Are you suggesting that my wife stole your worthless family artifact?" Nolan spoke without blinking. "I'm sorry, Master Nolan, but I think we need an explanatio
"Don't you think my wife deserves an apology directly from you, Mrs. Wendy, especially when you're on your knees?" Nolan yelled, shaking the entire building. Mrs. Wendy swallowed nervously. She found herself in a tight spot after seeing the video. She had hoped to ruin the Rothschilds, not realizing that they would be the ones to ruin them. "I'm truly sorry, Master Nolan. I thought..." "You should be saying that on your knees for almost tarnishing my wife's reputation," Nolan's voice was calm now as he narrowed his eyes. "My apologies, Master Nolan. We received incorrect information. Who knew the informant was involved in the theft?" George chimed in, stealing a quick glance at Cassidy, who was already embarrassed in the same spot. "We are genuinely sorry, Mrs. Rothschild. I hope we can rectify this and make it up to you in some way." "There's no way you can, Mr. George." "Miss Lincoln, you will be needed for questioning," the head guard said to Cassidy. "I don't..." Her lips
After bidding Tara goodbye, Hailey returned to Nolan, who was already waiting for her. They walked towards the limousine that was already waiting for them. Tino helped Nolan in, and Hailey gently slipped into the car. As she stared out of the window, she couldn't help but let a soft smile creep onto her face. Nolan had shown up unexpectedly and saved her from an embarrassing situation. If it hadn't been for Nolan, she would probably still be in a mess. "Are you that happy?" Nolan, who had noticed her expression, muttered. She took a glance at his face. His lips twisted, capturing Hailey's full attention. His aquiline nose sat atop his faded pink lips. "Is something on my face?" Nolan arched a brow at her. Hailey quickly averted her gaze and shifted closer to the side door. Nolan glared at her, unable to understand what was going on. "Is something wrong?" Nolan adjusted closer to Hailey, putting her in a tight spot. They were just an inch apart. Hailey could hear her own heart rac
"Cassidy, what have you done at Raymond's party?" His voice echoed through the house, leaving Cassidy frozen in panic. "What does he mean by giving some percentage of our company shares to Raymond?" His eyes burned with anger. Bernard received a call from the company, informing him that some company shares had been successfully transferred to Raymond. However, he hadn't been anywhere near Raymond; only his youngest daughter, Cassidy, had attended the party. Cain, who had been focused on his phone, instantly let go of it and turned his attention to Cassidy. "What do you mean by 'share'?" Leah stuttered, unable to comprehend what was happening. Cassidy had given up some of the company shares to Raymond in order to avoid rumors about her going out. She feared her father would find out that she had stolen artifacts from Raymond and attempted to pin it on her sister, Hailey. Instead, she offered Raymond a portion of Lincoln's company shares to bury the news. Raymond quickly accepted th
It had been two weeks since Cassidy returned home with Leah's help, but Bernard was still unable to retrieve the company's shares from Raymond. The family of four sat in the luxurious room. Cain was in his usual seat, engrossed in his phone. Cassidy occupied the other black sofa, busy chatting with Luke, whom she had spent the past two weeks with. Bernard, their father, was engrossed in jotting down some notes in his memorandum book, while Leah sat beside him, sneakily trying to read what he was writing. "Do you think you can still retrieve them?" Leah muttered, catching Cassidy's attention as she knew they were discussing the company's shares. Cassidy glanced at her father's cold face. "I'm really trying hard," Bernard said, attempting to contain his anger as the memory of Cassidy forging his signature flashed in his mind. "The Raymonds are terrible. They were adamant about not returning the shares, even though I followed the legal process. Why won't they believe that it wasn't my
Bernard watched as Nolan's secretary exited the elevator and approached him. He leaned back, expecting the secretary to inform him that Nolan was waiting for him somewhere and wanted him to accompany him. However, his hopes were dashed when the secretary opened his mouth and spoke plainly. "Master Nolan wants you out of his company," Nolan's secretary said, looking directly at Bernard. The soft smile on Bernard's face gradually faded away. "What do you mean? Does he know it's me, his father-in-law?" Bernard questioned, and the young man nodded lightly. Bernard knew Nolan disliked him for some reason, but he never imagined that Nolan would reject his visitation. Anger covered his expression as he thought about how Nolan had the audacity to be so rude and disrespectful, considering that Bernard was much older and his father-in-law. However, Nolan was five times richer and more powerful than the entire Lincoln family combined, and this realization only fueled Bernard's anger. He immed
