Chapter 157

Madam Vanderbilt was a little embarrassed, so she could only say, “Aren’t I a little too old to come to
such a conclusion at one glance?”

Madam Vanderbilt was puzzled too.

*This cheap girl is able to invite Mr. Goldmann home? Didn’t they say that Willie is the one who has a
better relationship with Mr. Goldmann?’

Linda’s nervousness was different from what Madam Vanderbilt and Leila felt. She had been unable to
take her eyes off Nolan ever since the moment she first saw him.

“This man is so handsome! He’s several times more good-looking than all the men that I’ve met before
this.

“Zee.” Stephen, who was walking downstairs, was slightly startled when he saw her. He thought she
would never want to come back again.

“I’ve brought Mr. Goldmann over for dinner. Is that okay?”

Maisie looked at her father and was surprised to find that he seemed to look a lot more haggard than
before. She could even see his gray hair, which was not so discernible before.

Madam Vanderbilt hurriedly stepped forward before Stephen could respond to Maisie’s question. “Of
course, that’s not a problem. It’s the Vanderbilts’ honor that Mr. Goldmann is able to come to our place
for dinner.”

She then got Leila to go to the back and ask the servants to prepare a few more dishes.



“Maisie.” A pure-looking lady approached bashfully, stretched out her hand, held Maisie’s hand, and
secretly glanced at Nolan, who was standing next to her. “Maisie, we haven’t seen each other for many
years, do you still remember me?”.

Maisie did not respond because she did not recognize her.

Madam Vanderbilt quickly explained, “Lynn, your cousin hasn’t returned to her hometown for so many
years, so how could she still remember you?

“Zee, she’s your cousin, Linda. You met each other when you were young.”

‘Linda?’

Maisie recalled a thing or two, but that was when she was a few years old. Linda should have just been
born.

‘She’s grown this big now.’



“Oh, so you’re Linda.” Maisie’s attitude was still rather indifferent. She had seen all the people’s attitudes
from the extended Vanderbilt family before this, so she did not feel close to them at all.

Madam Vanderbilt continued to flatter Nolan at the dining table, while Linda kept on peeking at him from
time to time as if she had found her Prince Charming.

Leila could no longer sit still. Madam Vanderbilt had been under the impression that Willow was the
person who was the closest to Mr. Goldmann.

“Zee, I… I’m glad that you’re still willing to come home for dinner,” Stephen said slowly and softly as if he

was afraid of frightening her.



Maisie stopped her actions for a split second, lowered her head, and continued to eat. “Since the
Vanderbilts don’t welcome me, I can’t always come over shamelessly.”

“Oh, Zee, what are you saying? You’re the granddaughter of the Vanderbilts, why would we not welcome

you?”

Madam Vanderbilt’s sudden enthusiasm caught Maisie off guard, and she could not get used to it for a
while.

‘Hypocrite! This is too hypocritical!

Maisie lifted her gaze. “Wouldn’t you chase me out of this house if Mr. Goldmann wasn’t here with us?”

Madam Vanderbilt choked because of that statement. Although she was being embarrassed publicly, she
could not throw a tantrum as Mi. Goldmann was here.

In the past, if Maisie was disrespectful to her elders, Stephen would be the first to slam the table and
reprimand her, but he did not do so today.

Nolan fetched Maisie a piece of meat, his gaze filled with affection. “Don’t just eat your pasta. Eat some
meat too.”

Seeing that Nolan was fetching side dishes for Maisie and glancing at her so lovingly, Linda could not
help but bite her lower lip. While she was envious of Maisie, she also felt jealous. ‘Why can I find such a
handsome and rich man!?’ Madam Vanderbilt did not expect that Maisie would be so intimate with Mr.
Goldmann. She glared at Leila all of a sudden. Her eyes looked as if they were blaming Leila for
everything. Leila was furious deep down, but how would she dare to vent her spleen at this moment!?
