“I’m just giving you youngsters a piece of advice. What’s wrong with that?” Sandy picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly. “Love and emotions are the most unreliable things that you can own in this world. The things that you like might not stay the same in the future. At the end of the day, only profits and interests are the most reliable.”The waiter brought the dishes at this moment, so Sandy put her wine glass aside and picked up her knife and fork. “Okay, let’s eat first.”Daisie did not move and remained silent for a long time. “Mrs. Pruitt, what you just said sounds so strange. Since you think that relationships, love, and emotions are very unreliable, then why would you choose to get married back then?”Sandy’s expression turned a little stiff. “Marriage? Does it have anything to do with love or emotions? You’re still too naïve, girl.”Daisie took a deep breath and looked at Brandon, who had not said anything since the meal started. “Mr. Pruitt, do you think so too?”
Sandy warned her in a deep voice, “Fey, don’t you dare take another step away from the table.”Freyja’s footsteps stopped for a split second, but she still left with Daisie in the end.Sandy stared at their figures as they left the restaurant, and her expression looked extremely piqued. “It seems that getting to know the daughter of the Goldmanns has made her more arrogant and contemptuous.”‘I wanted to use this meal to win Daisie Vanderbilt over with Freyja’s help. However, not only did Freyja not do anything to help, but she actually made it even worse than before.’Ken wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief. “Mother, you don’t have to worry that much. You should’ve seen it for yourself. That little princess trusts Fey very much, doesn’t she?”“So what? It’s not that you don’t know Fey’s personality.” If Sandy had known that the daughter she gave birth to would grow up to behave like this, she would rather that she had not given birth to her in the first place.Ken
Donald leaned the cigar against the rim of the ashtray and reached out to draw a card. “Then did you expect Mr. Reese to die?”“No, Mr. Reese’s death is beyond my expectations,” Nollace responded calmly. “On the contrary, some people hope that Mr. Reese’s death will cause a conflict of interest between you and me.”Donald’s movement froze for a split second, and he lifted his gaze, glanced at Nollace, but did not speak.Nollace looked at him calmly. “The person who killed Mr. Reese wanted to start a war. The public is now on your back, but you didn’t lay a single finger on Ms. Reese the other night, did you?”If Donald had not touched Lara, then Jonah and Donald would have nothing to argue about. Thus, if there was no argument, Donald would not have the motive to end Mr. Reese’s life.The public’s speculation was that Lara had once rejected Donald, and that made him vengeful, so he chose to settle the score with such a move.Therefore, as long as Lara was not held captive by Dona
The clothes were all high-end, limited edition, designer-branded clothes. Before her family ran into a dead end and she dropped from where she was, Lara never liked others touching her clothes. Even when she was attending events, if an artist were to step on the hem of her dress by accident, she would rain fire and brimstone on that individual.Lara did not respond to him but became even merrier instead as she tore the clothes.Ken got up and motioned to the servant. “Bring her to wash up.”The maid stepped forward to help her up, and Lara reacted violently, struggling and resisting her. “Don’t touch me. Go away!”There was nothing that the maid could do.Ken rolled up his sleeves, walked up to her, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to the edge of the swimming pool, and submerged her head into the water.She choked and struggled in the pool, but the people on the side did not dare to stop him.Seeing that she gave up struggling, Ken pulled her head up, and she coughed violent
Daisie lay on the bed and sent a message to Nollace.She waited for a long time, but he did not reply, so she turned over, lay on her back, and stared at the ceiling.Freyja came back from buying some snacks and saw that Daisie’s room door was ajar, so she walked over and stood by the door. “Yo, you’re here.”Daisie sat up and saw her lifting the bags in her hand. “I’ve bought Korean pancakes. Do you want some?”The two sat on the couch and ate the pancakes together.Daisie suddenly thought of something, turned to her, and asked, “Has Nollace been very busy recently?”Freyja smiled. “Can’t you just ask him yourself?”“He hasn’t texted me back.”“Pfft! A woman that smells of sourness and jealousy.” Freyja tore a pancake apart without raising her head. “You don’t have lectures in the afternoon. If you want to see him, just go to the Knowles Group to find him. Why must you always wait for him to come to you?”Daisie was startled. “Is it okay for me to do so?”She sneered. “You’r
The secretary scratched her cheeks. “She didn’t give us a name, but she’s been here for a long time.”Nollace got up suddenly and hurried out of the office, followed by the secretary and Edison.At the lobby…Daisie was sleepy after waiting so long and could not wait any longer, so she got up and left without hesitation.She walked out of the building and reached her arm out to hail a cab. But she was stopped by a figure that appeared behind her, approached, and pulled her back.She was caught off guard and slammed into his arms.Daisie was stunned and raised her head. And judging from Nollace’s heaving chest, it seemed that he had rushed out of the building in order to catch up to her. He then took a few deep breaths and calmed him breathing down. “Why didn’t you call me?”“You didn’t reply when I texted you and weren’t you in a meeting?” Daisie lowered her gaze. “I was afraid that you were busy, and I’d disturb—”Before she could finish speaking, Nollace had already pulled he
“Really?” Nollace looked down and saw that her ears were red, “I’m understanding this as you are not saying what you mean.”Daisie turned around and placed her hand on his chest, her eyes looking elsewhere. “Aren’t you busy?”Nollace rested his forehead against hers. His warm breath blew in her face—it was warm and ticklish. She blinked, and her heart started thumping, then she quietly said, “Go.”Nollace looked at her because her reaction was so simple. She couldn’t resist a little teasing and would blush so easily. She was such an innocent lady. “Daisie…” His deep voice was so seductive.Daisie slowly looked up and was met with a kiss on her lips. She stopped breathing for a few seconds, and her hand on his chest curled up as she was pulled in.Nollace’s kisses made her sink deeper each time. His kisses would make her heart flutter, and she didn’t want it to stop once she drowned in them. Seeing that she wasn’t breathing properly, Nollace let her go and ran his finger ov
Nollace’s eyes filled with love. “Sure.”He got Edison to get the tickets and then went into a cabin while holding Daisie’s hand. The bright neon lights outside reflected on the glass. Daisie stood in front of the window with her hands pressed against the glass. Her heart beat quickly while the lights flickered below. Nollace stared at her face, which was full of delight, and didn’t want the beautiful moment to end. He was glad to just be able to see her like that.“I heard that couples who take a Ferris wheel together end up breaking up, but if they kiss when they’re at the highest point, they will stay together forever, is it true?”Daisie turned to look at him and stared straight into his deep eyes. Nollace never believed the legend of the Ferris wheel because even if it didn’t exist, he would stay with her forever.But when he looked at her innocent face and eyes that were full of hope, he gulped. He put out his hand, held her by her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. “
