Chapter 144

‘This b*stard only knows how to ruin the atmosphere!’

Quincy did not care if Nolan was about to kill him and reported, “Mr. Goldmann, Mr. Goldmann Sr. has
called you via a video call, saying there’s something important!”

Nolan returned to his office. Mr. Goldmann Sr., who was on the screen, seemed to have been waiting for
him since long ago. Seeing that Nolan had sat down at his desk, Mr. Goldmann Sr. asked, “Zee’s mother
is from the de Armas?”

Nolan’s gaze looked indifferent. “Did Hans tell you that?”

‘I’ve only asked Hans to investigate this matter and didn’t even tell Quincy about it.’

Mr. Goldmann Sr.’s expression dimmed. “Your grandfather will return to Zlokova in mid-June.”

“Grandfather is coming back?”

“Hmph, isn’t it obvious that he’s coming back because he learned that you have kids now? What makes
you think he can resist the urge to come back to take a look at those kids? Above all, what makes you
think you can hide the news from him?”

Nolan did not say anything.

He only knew that because his great-grandfather had some history with the royal family of Stoslo, he had
been in some disputes with the de Armas.

Nolan’s father was rather okay with it, but his grandfather was greatly influenced by his great grandfather
and did not have a positive impression of the de Armas.



That was why Nolan did not plan to tell his father about it after investigating the identity and background
of Maisie’s mother.

Mr. Goldmann Sr. seemed to know what he was thinking and said, “About her relationship with the de
Armas, I’ll keep it from your grandfather for you for now. We’ll only talk about it when he returns to
Zlokova next month.”

‘Although this son of mine is quite a jerk, he’s still my only son.

‘He’s in his 30s, and he finally got himself kids and a wife. Wouldn’t he be a bachelor for the rest of his
life if his wife were to run away from this relationship?’

Nolan lowered his eyes and smiled. “Understood.”

Quincy, who was standing by the side, asked nervously, “Mr. Goldmann, is the elder master really going
to return to Zlokova in June?”



“Probably.” He rubbed his forehead.

Compared to his father, his grandfather, Titus Goldmann, was the most difficult person to please i n the
entire family.

Because of the influence of Nolan’s great-grandfather, Titus did not have a good impression of the royal
family and nobility of Stoslo, not to mention that his temper was even more outrageous than his father’s

‘I can only leave it up to the three rugrats living back in the mansion to tune the old, rough, and bad-
tempered man when the time comes.” That night…

Willow dressed up to meet with Louis in one of the private rooms of the Tipsy-Turvy Bistro in the Siberian
Palace Hotel.



As soon as she walked into the private room, she saw a few bodyguards standing beside Louis in the
private room.

Sitting on the main seat was a dignified and graceful middle-aged woman sipping a cup of coffee i na
one-piece evening dress. Her long curly hair was resting on her shoulders, and her extremely well-
maintained and picturesque face made her look like she was in her 20s.

Willow was surprised deep down.

‘She’s definitely worthy of being called a noblewoman. Her demeanor and grace are truly unmatched!

Larissa took a sip of the coffee, wiped her lipstick off the edge of the mug, and raised her beautiful eyes
slightly. “Let me take a look at your bracelet.”

Willow returned to her senses, stepped forward, removed the bracelet, and handed it to her.

Larissa took the bracelet from her hand. The golden pattern on it was indeed a match with the bracelet
on her hand,

These bracelets had originally been given to the sisters-one was in Larissa’s possession, while

the other was with her sister.

“Where has your mother been all these years?” Larissa looked up at her directly.

Willow bit her lip. “She… She has passed away.”

She quickly added upon thinking of something, “In addition to this, she also left a jewelry company
behind.” 1

“A jewelry company?”



“Yes, it’s named Vaenna Jewelry.” Willow pretended to be sad. “Unfortunately, I… I’m not competent
enough to… lead the company toward a brighter future.”

Larissa frowned slightly. Although she did not leave her house much, she still paid attention to the news
from the outside world.
