Nolan was very distressed as his young wife had kicked him out.‘I just wanted to help her get changed. It’s not like I was going to do anything to her. Was that necessary?“Mr. Goldmann.” Stephen came over slowly.Nolan adjusted the hem of his jacket, and his expression returned to being indifferent and cool. “Mr. Vanderbilt?”“Is Zee all right now?”“She’s fine, alive and well,” Nolan answered indifferently. He then thought of something and added, “You can go in later.”After Maisie changed into her clothes, Stephen opened the door, entered the ward, and placed the thermos in his hand on the table. “This is the broth that I asked the housekeeper to cook for you. This will help replenish your body.”“Okay, I’ll drink it later.” Maisie accepted it.Stephen walked up to the chair next to the bed, sat down, and slowly explained, “Zee, I’m sorry, I’m the one who harmed you. I didn’t expect that Leila would do such a thing to you.”Maisie could not help but be startled.‘Leila? M

‘I didn’t tell Father that I successfully located Marina’s daughter. Yet, Father actually got to know about it out of the blue and even wants to make it public…’Larissa turned her head to look at Willow, who was being surrounded by others, and her brows could not help but crease.‘Although the DNA results did prove that she and Louis are related by blood, and she has the bracelet too, I’ve always felt that something is not right.’As Louis slowly walked downstairs, the gazes of many ladies were fixed on him.The hearts of a lot of Bassburgh socialites had been shattered back then when Mr. Goldmann announced publicly that he was no longer available at the banquet for celebrities. Thus, apart from Helios, the bigwig of the entertainment industry, who no one dared to even think about approaching due to the pressure that originated from the hundreds of millions of fans, they could only aim at Louis, who was still single and available in the circle.Louis was known as Bassburgh’s Prin

Louis did not even look at Willow.His gaze then landed on the two figures that slowly appeared from the crowd. Not only his but Larissa and Mrs. Boucher’s gazes were also attracted by them.“Mr. Goldmann? Why is he here?”“Is the relationship between the Goldmanns and the Lucases so close that Mr. Goldmann would attend the Lucases’ banquet?”“Could the person standing next to Mr. Goldmann be his woman?”Maisie wrapped Nolan’s arm and walked in beside him. She was wearing a dark green evening gown with naked shoulders—the waistline and split dress design made the whole dress look vivid.She had tied the long hair behind her into a fishtail braid, and the cold and indifferent yet unparalleled appearance made her look unforgettable for anyone who had seen her in person.And while she was walking beside Nolan, who looked exceptionally regal, charming, and attractive, it made them look like a match made in heaven.“Zee!” Ryleigh felt ecstatic after seeing Maisie appear from the cro

“Oh, did you just admit that you’re Dad’s illegitimate daughter?”“I…” Willow was startled and looked around nervously.Sure enough, the crowd started gossiping again.“Is she really an illegitimate daughter?”“Then does that mean what Ms. Hill said earlier is true!?”The corners of Maisie’s red lips twitched and were slightly lifted. “Marina de Arma is Stephen Vanderbilt’s original partner and also his legal wife. How could a legal wife give birth to you, an illegitimate daughter?”“Yeah, it’s Marina, the second daughter of the de Armas. If she had chosen to marry someone, she must’ve confirmed that she would be the legal wife. Someone like her wouldn’t commit adultery and make herself into a homewrecker.”“The identity of an illegitimate daughter is rather shameful, so she shouldn’t be the daughter of the original and legal wife.”Willow heard the noisy discussions that were taking place around her, so she bit her lip harshly.‘D*mn it! This b*tch actually managed to fish in

‘I’ve never thought about getting back my identity as the daughter of the de Armas. It’s just that anyone could take this identity away from me, except Willow, as it would be an insult to Mom.’An arm wrapped around her waist from behind and brought her into his arms. “You’re wearing high heels, so how are you walking faster than me?”‘This woman is just not afraid of falling.’Seeing that Maisie was not responding, Nolan abruptly picked her up in a bridal carry.Maisie was stunned and then struggled in his arms for a short while. “What are you doing? Let me down!”Nolan carried her into the car but still did not let go of her. He pinched her chin with his fingers and made her look straight at him. “What did you just call me while we were at the banquet? Can you repeat it once again?”“What did I just call you?”Seeing that his eyes dimmed and narrowed, Maisie recalled something and then pushed his hands away. “I just came up with a nickname casually.”“Are you making fun of me
