Chapter 156
A glimmer of sulkiness flashed across Willow’s eyes.
Willow’s face was pale. “Aunty, I know I’m inferior to my mother. You should also know that my mother
died when I was very young. I—”
“Alright.” There was a hint of impatience in Larissa’s eyes. “Just behave yourself and keep your nose
clean in the future, don’t embarrass your mother. Your grandfather will definitely not like your over-
compliant personality.
The women of the de Arma family always have to be tough. But judging from how you’re carrying
yourself, you’ll never amount to anything.”.. .
“Understood,” Willow responded while clenching her fist.
would I stay here and take all this nonsense from her?’
“You can go back now if there’s nothing else. I’m tired and need to get some rest already.” Larissa got up
from the couch and went upstairs.
Willow came out of the Lucas family’s mansion with a solemn face. Madam Lucas’ attitude toward her
had made her feel extremely disturbed.
identities don’t come by so easily. I have to get rid of Madam Lucas’ suspicion.
‘If only…’
The comers of Willow’s lips were coldly curled.
‘As long as I can get that b*tch’s hair and take the initiative to ask Madam Lucas to run a DNA test. As
long as I can be verified as a collateral blood relative, my position in the family will be secured!
In the evening…
Nolan parked his car outside the gate of the Vanderbilt manor and turned to look at Maisie, who looked
extremely hesitant. “You really don’t plan to go in?”
“I didn’t say that I wanted to go in.” He had actually brought her to the Vanderbilt manor without asking
her right after they got off work.
The corners of Nolan’s lips twitched and were slightly raised. “You might say that you don’t care, but you
still watched Stephen’s apology video earlier today. In fact, you still care about your father deep down.”
Maisie did not say anything.
She had been indeed disappointed by her father’s distrust and even blamed him for his infidelity to his
marriage.
But her father’s words from the other day were still lingering in her heart.
‘Do I hate him? It doesn’t seem to be.’
Perhaps it was because he was the only person who was related to her apart from the three children.
“Get out of the car. No matter what, you’re still the daughter of the Vanderbilts. With me here, no one will
make your life difficult.”
Maisie took a glance at him and said, “Even if you were not here, I wouldn’t let myself suffer in there.”
She opened the door and got out of the car.
Nolan was a little distressed. ‘Can this woman soften her attitude just once? At least, give me a chance
to protect my wife! ‘Forget it. Nobody forced me to be such an *ss. I actually misunderstood and
threatened her back then.’
When Maisie returned to Vanderbilt manor and stepped into the lobby through the door, everyone in the
living room was astonished.
Leila’s expression changed slightly.
‘Why would this b*tch come back all of a sudden?’
Madam Vanderbilt and Linda stared at Maisie, the former’s expression looking unpleasant. “Pfft, you still
know how to get back to your own home?”
Linda was surprised.
‘Is she Maisie? It’s only been a short while since we last met, and she’s become so good-looking!?’
Maisie crossed her arms and asked with a calm tone, “Why can’t I come back?”
At that moment, the man who entered through the door caused Leila’s expression to change once again.
‘Mr. Goldmann!?’
Madam Vanderbilt was even more dissatisfied when she saw that Maisie had brought a man back to the
manor. “You even dare to bring a random man back home now?”
“Mother… He’s Mr. Goldmann.” Leila cowardly reminded Madam Vanderbilt in an extremely soft voice.
When Madam Vanderbilt heard the word “Mr. Goldmann”, the disdain on her face was replaced by
surprise in an instant, and she slowly stood up.
Madam Vanderbilt’s personality did a one-eighty in an instant. “Oh, Zee, why didn’t you tell us in advance
that you were bringing Mr. Goldmann back home for a visit.” Maisie scoffed. “Grandma, didn’t you just
refer to him as a random man?”
