Maisie made her way to him and got down on her knees in front of him weakly. There was no telling if she was scared or something else. “Where did you go, Waylon? How did this happen?”“I’m sorry, Mommy. It was my fault that Daddy was hurt.”Waylon’s tone was so calm that it was terrifying. It stunned Maisie for a moment. “What… What happened to him?”Meanwhile, the doctor walked out of the ward. “Who is the family of Nolan Goldmann?”Maisie stood up fearfully. On the other hand, Quincy walked over in the meantime. “We’re all his family. May we inquire what happened to him?”The doctor had a stern expression. “We’ve already dressed up his wounds and given him a blood serum injection. It’s fortunate that the snake that bit him isn’t very venomous, or else not even doctors could save him. We will still need to keep him for observation for two more days to monitor his condition.”‘Nolan was bitten by a venomous snake!?’Maisie pursed her lips tightly while her face appeared to be

Nolan’s expression was solemn. Quincy gave her another pinch and said through his tightly-gnashed teeth, “Eat.”Cherie remembered something else, so she said to Maisie with excitement. “Please allow me to introduce myself, madam. My name is Cherie Lawson, and I’m the younger sister of this idiot. Mr. Goldmann is like a big brother to us, and we have a strong friendship, so please don’t misunderstand us!”Maisie cracked a smile. ‘Whoa! Cherie’s personality is rather feisty indeed, and she is quite loquacious. She looked toward Quincy. “So you have a younger sister too, huh?”Quincy was frustrated. “My sister has always been with the troops all this time, so she snuck out of there to check you out when she found out that Nolan was coming home with you.”“Will you please speak properly? I came after seeking permission from my commanding officer!” Cherie was displeased. Quincy cast her a look. “The commanding officer would have penalized you if not for his friendship with our e

“While we’re at it, we’ll show everyone what sort of crook Millennial Gemstone is that the company refuses to give compensation after breaching a contract.”Noticing that she was planning on making a big deal out of this, Mr. Parker was shocked. He had no choice but to calm her down. “Hehehe. Hey girl, we’re all businessmen here, so why do you have to go as far as that? I can give compensation but doubling the amount is—”“I’m taking double compensation, and I won’t leave even if there’s a penny less,” said Maisie coldly. Millennial Gemstone Inc was planning to renege on the deal because the Lucas family was their backer. Moreover, Mr. Parker did not fear Soul Jewelry because it was an unknown, small company new to the market.Yet, he did not expect that he would encounter a woman that would pester him incessantly. He figured that he should not be blamed for her gullibility. Mr. Parker grunted. “If you wish to go to court, you’re going to have to win the case too. Let me tell

Quincy gasped. ‘Willow is a de Arma? Shouldn’t that be Maisie?‘That’s why the Lucas family is helping Willow. She pretended to be Maisie and went to them. That woman really doesn’t understand the concept of humility.’“Nolan, I—”“Your mother was Marina de Armas?” Nolan stared at her coldly. It was as if he was seeing through her, giving her chills down her spine. Willow’s legs almost gave way. Nolan squinted and said, “I seem to remember that Maisie’s mother was Marina. Isn’t your mother Leila? Hah, you’re really trying hard to get what doesn’t belong to you.”Hadn’t she pretended to be Maisie six years ago?Now she was reusing the same trick and stole Maisie’s identity again. Nolan was glad that he had dodged a bullet, looking at her disgusting face. He would have hated himself otherwise.Willow held out a hand to hold him. “Nolan, no, I was just—” Nolan took a step back to avoid her like she was the plague. “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands. You’re nothing compar

Maisie pushed his face that was coming closer to her away. Nolan was stuck to her like glue. Quincy walked right into a sappy scene when he opened the door. Maisie and Nolan both looked toward Quincy. The air froze.Quincy backed up and closed the door. Maisie pushed Nolan away and calmly said, “Show’s over. I’m leaving.”“Wait.” Nolan pulled her hand.Maisie turned around curiously but saw him smiling. “Don’t you want to know about the Lucas family?”‘The Lucas family?’ Maisie paused. ‘Did he ask to see me because of them?’“You found out?” Maisie looked down. She could keep nothing from him. “Mrs. Lucas is your mother’s sister, Larissa, one of the de Armas,” Nolan said. Maisie froze on the spot upon hearing that.Larissa de Arma. Her mother’s sister. Maisie had only found out that her mother was a de Arma before this but didn’t know about her sister. She finally learned that Mrs. Lucas was her mother’s sister!But she was the one helping Willow. Nolan stood u
