Chapter 182
‘If it’s as she described, and she was only talking to Maisie but got targeted by the latter, there’s no
reason why Madam Nera, only a bystander at that time, would voice out for such an unreasonable
woman. So if I were to look at it from this perspective, it’s very likely that Willow was the one who
disrespected them first.’
“Aunty, I… I wouldn’t lie to you.”
“Heh, I’ll find out whether you’re lying to me, Willow. If you dare to hide something from me or even lie to
me, I’ll never spare you that easily, even if you’re Marina’s daughter.”
‘If my sister has truly given birth to such a scheming daughter, I’d rather not take her in!’
Willow really panicked and felt extremely unreconciled deep down.
‘How did things tum out to be like this!?’
Maisie sent Madam Nera to the ground floor of the Nera Tower.
Madam Nera grabbed Maisie’s hand. “I’m really happy that you accompanied an old lady like me to an
aftemoon tea today.”
Because Madam Nera had no children, Maisie was starting to grow on her as the days went by as she
was someone who loved jewelry just like herself.
Maisie smiled. “I’ll brew some tea for you personally if you want to drink tea in the future. There’s no
need for you to spend money to go to the hotel for the high tea session.”
“Young lady, if you didn’t plan to start a new company, I would’ve asked you to come over to Taylor
Jewelry.”
“There wouldn’t be any challenge if I were to come over to you.”
‘If I wished to make my design the top-notch jewelry in the world, joining Taylor Jewelry would be the
fastest way to achieve that. It would definitely be a breeze to allow my jewelry to rise to fame on an
international level if I were to launch them under the name of Taylor Jewelry.’
Madam Nera could see clearly that this young lady’s behavior was indeed very low-key.
‘She didn’t tell me that she was Zora, nor did she rely on her relationship with Mr. Goldmann to ask for
collaboration with me. This shows that she really doesn’t want to rely on anyone. This is her best trait
that’s worth my admiration.’
Madam Nera’s female assistant hurried over and whispered something in her ear. Madam Nera then
nodded after listening to what she had to say, “I see.”
“Madam Nera, it seems that you’re rather occupied. I’ll take my leave first then.”
“Alright.” Madam Nera nodded with a smile.
As soon as Maisie entered her office, she saw Nolan sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and
reading a jewelry magazine. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Without lifting his eyelids, he knew that it was her who had come back. “Madam Nera seems to really like
you.”
She had invited his young wife out for tea for such a long time, making him wait for so long.
‘What can I do about my wife’s popularity?’ Maisie looked at him. “It’s not a bad thing to maintain a good
relationship with Madam Nera. By the way, have you been waiting for me here all this while?” 1
Nolan closed the magazine and raised his head. “Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you all this while. I’ve met
your father.”
Maisie was stunned for a split second. “Don’t you tell me that you’ve told my dad about that?”
“Except for the de Armas, I’ve told him everything that should be told,” he responded nonchalantly.
That meant, apart from Marina’s identity, Nolan had told Stephen about what Willow had done.
Nolan put the magazine down, slowly got up, and walked toward her. “Aren’t you curious about why
Willow dared to approach Madam Lucas with your identity?”
Maisie frowned.
‘Indeed, what has Willow done to convince the Lucas family that she’s Marina’s daughter? And the main
thing is that she has not been exposed yet.
‘Willow was already traveling with the Lucas family’s members on the day of the auction, which means
she’s taken my identity and used it to approach the Lucases since a long time ago.
“Did your mother leave any item behind after her passing?” Nolan asked all of a sudden.
Maisie was taken aback and instantly remembered that her father had called her the other day and told
her that he was organizing her mother’s belongings.
