Chapter 237

Maisie smiled but did not utter a single word.

Titus put down the wine glass, and the expression on his face became a little sterner as he started
questioning. “Can this young lady who looks so timid and bashful be able to assume the position as the
future mistress of the Goldmanns?”

The old man’s remarks made the atmosphere a little tense and nervous. In his eyes, the future mistress
of the Goldmanns must not be such a delicate young woman. She must be able to accomplish huge
achievements and also be able to awe others.

But when he noticed the tenderness and weakness of the lady sitting in front of him, it was in his nature
to question her.

Rowena retracted her gaze as a faint trace of amusement flashed across her expression. She knew the
old man’s standards for his granddaughter-in-law. She had to be at least able to help out the Goldmanns,
and she had to be familiar with everything that was related to the Goldmanns.

‘After all, the Goldmanns run more than just an ordinary business empire. When an incapable woman is
hosting the Goldmanns’ Banquet and can’t call the shots or arrange the deployments, how can she be
the matriarch of the Goldmanns?’

Maisie’s eyelashes twitched as if she wanted to say something, but Nolan tightened his grip that was
over her hand and gave her a comforting gaze.

“Grandfather, unfortunately, the standards that you stand by when it comes to choosing your
granddaughter-in-law don’t suit me too well. I never cared about all those criteria when I was eyeing for
my woman.”



Nolan looked solemn.

Rowena stared fixedly at Nolan.

‘Is he serious about that?

Mr. Goldmann Sr. chuckled. “Father, Nolan has his own thoughts and vision, not to mention Zee isn’t as
bad as you think she is, in m y opinion”

“Hmph, that’s what you father-and-son think. I only want to know just how much she knows about the
Goldmanns. After all, you should know what it means and takes to become the future mistress of the
Goldmanns.”

‘The hostess of the Goldmanns’ Banquet isn’t a title that any average Jane can assume! If she doesn’t
have the ability to protect herself when problems and issues emerge in the future, she might even
become a burden to my grandson!’



Mr. Goldmann S1. opened his mouth but did not say a thing. He indeed had not told Maisie about the
other side of the Goldmanns, but he also did not know whether Nolan had told her anything about that.

Maisie could understand what the old man seemed to be suggesting. Thinking of what Nolan had told
her before this, she more or less realized that the Goldmanns seemed to be more than just a business
empire.

“In my opinion, she’s not as suitable as Rowena. Rowena has been by my side all this while, so I know
exactly how good she is. Everyone in the family would surely be convinced if she were to become the
mistress of the family.”



Rowena gave off a gentle smile when Titus mentioned her and said modestly, “Grandpa, don’t make fun
of me.”

“I’m just telling the truth.” The old man did not care much about what the others were thinking. He
thought about long-term matters, which was not something that just a great relationship could solve.

Nolan’s eyes squinted slightly. He pressed his lips against each other tightly to form an indifferent line
and then opened them slowly. “My wife doesn’t need to deal with those things, and I don’t intend to take
over the mess that you leave behind.”

“Brat, is this how you talk to your grandfather?”

‘He actually claimed that he doesn’t plan to take over the Goldmanns’ Banquet?

Nolan’s expression looked cold. “I don’t plan to follow great-grandfather’s footsteps, let alone learn from
his lessons. After all, he even failed to protect his own woman even when he was able to take care of all
those messes, didn’t he?”

“You b*stard! How dare you—”

“Father, calm down, the kids are here,” Mr. Goldmann Sr. interrupted his father’s tantrum and then tried
to persuade Nolan. “Don’t b e so aggressive when you’re talking to your grandfather. This is a family
dinner, so why bother making such a fuss and making everyone upset?”

The old man glared at Mr. Goldmann Sr. “I haven’t admitted that we’re a family yet!” it was obvious that
he had not recognized Maisie as his granddaughter-in-law.
