Chapter 158

Madam Vanderbilt asked, “Mr. Goldmann, what is your relationship with Zee?”

Nolan replied nonchalantly, “Zee is my fiancée. What’s the matter?”

‘Fiancée!?’ Madam Vanderbilt was astounded. ‘I didn’t expect this cheap sl*t to be the person who really
has her head in the game! She’s actually managed to become Mr. Goldmann’s woman!’

“Zee, why didn’t you tell your family that you’re engaged to Mr. Goldmann?”

Maisie scoffed inwardly. “I don’t want to be bothered.”

‘If it wasn’t for Nolan’s identity, why would she act like this? To put it bluntly, isn’t the only thing that she
has her eyes on Nolan’s identity and status?’

“Then when will you marry me?”

Maisie almost choked due to Nolan’s sudden proposal. She then turned her head to look at him. ‘Do you
have a death wish? I’m just playing along.’

“Zee, indeed, you’re no longer young anymore. It’s time for you to get married too. Since Mr. Goldmann
loves you so much, what are you waiting for?”

‘Judging solely from Mr. Goldmann’s family background, as Maisie’s grandmother, I’ll definitely benefit
from the news if this cheap sl*t were to get married to Mr. Goldmann. My status in the upper-class circle
will also rise by folds if I become in-laws with the Goldmanns.’

“Even if I were to get married, it has nothing to do with you.” Maisie gave off a polite smile, slapping
Madam Vanderbilt in the face metaphorically.



Madam Vanderbilt was incensed deep down, but she still reacted very kindly on the surface. “Zee, no
matter what, I’m still your grandmother. So how could you say that?”

“Mother, Zee is old enough to make her own decisions already, so let’s not get too involved,” Stephen
said slowly.

That implied that he respected Maisie’s choice.

“What are you talking about? Zee is your daughter! How can you not care about your daughter’s major
life event?” Madam Vanderbilt’s face betrayed her displeasure upon seeing that her son did not even
speak up for her.



“I’m not in the position to say anything about it, and neither are you.” Stephen sounded very determined,

Seeing that Stephen was dead-set on supporting Maisie, the hatred in Leila’s heart increased.

‘Ever since he learned what Willow has done and about the incident related to that wh*re, Marina de
Arma, Stephen really has turned toward this b*tch.

‘If I still can’t give birth to a son, then how can I secure my status in the Vanderbilts in the future?’

Maisie did not expect her father to make such an exception to speak up for her. After all, he had never
taken her side in the past ten years.

Nolan held her restless, clenched fist that was resting on her thigh.

Maisie was taken aback and took a glance at Nolan.



“Indeed, this is zee’s decision. You cannot call the shots on a matter like this. After all, I can still
remember the grievances that she had to suffer here in the Vanderbilts manor.”

Nolan’s cold response made both Madam Vanderbilt and Leila look extremely distressed, while it made
Stephen feel ashamed.

The meal was finished under a very depressing atmosphere.

Nolan turned a blind eye to everyone else and only fetched Maisie some side dishes from time to time.
His attitude toward Maisie was totally different from how he treated them.

Stephen did not say anything, but he was very relieved deep down. He had had the wrong impression of
Maisie for so many years because of Leila and Willow, so he was more or less relieved now that he saw
Nolan taking such good care of her.

“Dad, why don’t I see Willow here?”

Hearing Maisie calling himself “Dad”, Stephen was astonished. He was also somewhat delighted deep
down. Still, his expression did not look too good when he mentioned Willow. “She’s been going out very
early in the morning and returning home late at night recently. I’m not very sure where she goes. But
don’t worry about her.”

Leila bit her lip.

Don’t worry about her? Heh, sure enough, he’s no longer treating Willow as his daughter anymore. Had
she not been able to talk about the Lucas family, she would have told everyone about it a long time ago.
