Chapter 130

Maisie took a good look at the picture and realized that Erwin and her mother were walking in a row, or
rather, he was standing at the side behind her. However, it looked as though they were standing in a row
because of the angle.

If they were lovers, they would be more intimate, but Erwin and her mother didn’t show any signs o
fintimacy. It even looked as though Erwin was respectful toward her.

Who was her mother to Erwin?

The laptop was suddenly pushed shut.

Maisie turned to look at the man beside her, a little surprised. “That was all you found?”

That was it?

Nolan’s long arm was resting on the back of the couch, behind where she sat. He leaned in. “Kiss m e,
and I’ll tell you.”

“Never mind. I’ll find out myself.”

Maisie was getting up to leave when Nolan pulled her into his arms.

She sat down on his lap. That wasn’t a good position to be in.

“Nolan, just because this is your office doesn’t mean you can-“Maisie pushed him lightly, but he was
holding her tight against his chest with no signs of letting go.

Seeing her turn red from anger, he slightly raised his brows. “Hmm? What are you trying to do?”

“Let go.” Maisie gnashed her teeth.



“Kiss me.” Nolan was pretty much a prick trying to take advantage of her.

“I don’t-”

“I’ll kiss you then.”

The man didn’t give her a chance to speak. His cold lips covered hers, and his hand was behind her
head as though he was trying to eat her up. The fire in his eyes started burning.

Maisie was concerned, but his kiss was too good. She was already out of breath, but she had finally lost
her grip. She didn’t even know how to struggle, so she just let him take over.



His kiss lasted very long before he finally reluctantly released her.

Maisie could finally breathe, but in her heart, her alarms were going off.

She knew that if this went on, she would be devoured whole!

“Can you tell me now?” She changed the subject.

Nolan ran his finger across the corner of her lips, and then his eyes shifted. “Your mother was from a
noble family in Stoslo.”

Maisie was still in a trance when she got back to her office.

A noble of Stoslo. Her mother had status.

If her mother had been a noble, then she had changed her name to Gonzalez to cover up so that the
Vanderbilts didn’t know who she was.



That made sense. Had Madam Vanderbilt known that her mother was from a noble family, she wouldn’t
have treated her that horribly.

‘But why did Mom come to Zlokova from Stoslo? Does Uncle Erwin know something?’

Maisie arrived at Erwin’s enormous private villa with an outdoor pool that night.

They were playing chess in the living room while the bodyguards were watching from the side.

“Uncle Erwin, when will you tell me about my mother?” Maisie looked up to see his expression.

Erwin paused with a smile. “Do you really want to know about your mother that badly?”

Maisie pursed her lips and made a move on the board. “Is there anything that I can’t know? Is it because
of her status?”

Erwin slowly raised his head. “Your mother had always wished that you could grow up happy and have a
normal life. She always wanted to be a civilian.”

Maisie was stunned as she looked down.

“Your mother was born in a big family that had a high social standing in Stoslo. They worked for the
royals and were pretty much the inner circle, but when the royal family had an internal conflict, your
mother’s family left politics in order to keep the entire family safe.”
