Chapter 248

When Leila saw the police officers, her face turned pale, and she avoided their eyes when they walked
past her. It was fortunate that they didn’t notice anything.

“Dad, is Grandma alright?” Willow asked without noticing her mother’s unusual behavior.

Stephen said impatiently, “Go in and stay by her side.”

Willow walked into the ward.

Stephen looked at Leila. “You didn’t come back even after this. What have you been up to lately?”

Leila suppressed her panic and calmly said, “I just found a job… And, no one called me.”

No one had informed her last night, and her face had still been swollen last night. She wasn’t going to
show up.

‘

Stephen didn’t suspect a thing. “Go in and see Mom.”

Leila squeezed out a smile and walked into the ward. “Mom, I’m here to see you.”

“Hmmph, why are you here now?” Madam Vanderbilt was already agitated, especially about her
grandson and daughter-in-law, so she diverted her hatred for Maisie to Leila and Willow.

“Mom, I’m sorry about Yanis. I just found out. She was so young, but-“Leila pretended to be sad.

“It’s all because of that wench, Maisie. I’m sure Maisie did it. I’m going to reveal the ugly truth!”

Leila was stunned. She didn’t expect Madam Vanderbilt to suspect Maisie. That would work for her.



“Mom, Yanis went to see Maisie behind our backs. They might have gotten into a scuffle and”

“How do you know that she went to see Maisie behind our backs?” Madam Vanderbilt glared at her.



Leila bit her lip and slowly said, “Because Yanis was with me that day. She said Maisie was threatening
her, so she went to talk to her. I would have stopped her if I knew this was going to happen.”

Two days later, word got out, and people were talking about this all over the Internet. Maisie had
suddenly turned into the ‘murderer ‘who had killed her own aunt.

Titus Goldmann sat on the couch in the Goldmann mansion, put down the newspaper, and questioned
Maisie, “How are you already labeled a killer before you marry into our family?”

Maisie looked down and said calmly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldmann. I’ll take care of this.”

She didn’t want to bring problems to the Goldmanns and planned to settle the issue by herself.

“You didn’t really do it, did you?” Titus’ expression changed. His eyes were sharp, seeming to be testing
her.

Maisie held her fists while her lashes fluttered. Nolan came downstairs right when she was going to say
something and said, “She didn’t do it.”

Titus hummed. “Don’t tell me that. Ever since your father married your mother, I knew you two would
have the same problem.”

He had let it go when his son insisted on marrying an actress who was plagued by rumors, but now even
his grandson was going to marry a woman who ‘had issues’.



They were both blinded by beauty.

“I don’t need to hear about what you meant by the problem. The bottom line is that Maisie didn’t do
anything wrong.” Nolan pulled Maisie and left. When Titus saw Nolan protecting Maisie, he sighed. She
had to go through a test to decide if she could be the lady of the house!
