Chapter 269

A few strands of hair that were behind Maisie’s ear fell to her face. She kept putting them back behind
her ear. It was a very common action, but it looked so nice to Francisco.

A leaf fell onto her head, and Francisco froze, walked over but was tripped by the rake, and fell onto
Maisie.

He saved himself by holding onto the bench, but his sudden movement made Maisie jump. She turned
around and suddenly saw Francisco’s face right in front of hers. They didn’t say anything Wynona, who
was standing in the shadows, saw that and punched the wall. She took out her phone, snapped a
picture, searched for Rowena’s chat, and sent it to her. At Blackgold Group… Rowena got to the office
and knocked. Nolan closed the file he was reading and looked up. “What is it?” Rowena walked to his
desk. “I heard the news that Ms. Vanderbilt went into the restricted area yesterday and had to rake the
leaves as punishment.” Nolan’s eyes narrowed. ‘Why would she go into a restricted zone? Was she
hurt? What are the people in the camp doing? Why didn’t Cherie tell me?’ Seeing his darkened
expression, Rowena thought that he was angry at Maisie for going into the restricted zone, so she slowly
said, “She’s fine, but—” “But what?” Nolan squinted. “But someone sent a picture to me. I was in a
dilemma before I chose to tell you. I’m worried that this might cause a dispute between you and Ms.
Vanderbilt.” Rowena put the picture in front of him. The picture showed Maisie and Francisco being
‘intimate’, but it looked like they were kissing from that angle. “I think this picture was to instigate
something between the two of you—”



“If it was to instigate something, why was this picture sent to you?” Nolan coldly looked up at her, his
eyes filled with suspicion. Rowena turned pale. She lost her cool, and now Nolan was suspecting her.
She bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Nolan, I didn’t mean anything. I know that you’re worried about M s. Vanderbilt,
so I had someone secretly check on her. I just wanted to give you some updates, but I didn’t expect – I’m



sorry.” Nolan took a long look at her and coldly said, “Don’t do anything pointless anymore. You can
leave now.”

Rowena left the office. Nolan’s cool was slowly being stripped away. How long could he stay calm?

They hadn’t seen each other for just a few days, but the woman was already intimate with another man.
If it went on for half a month, was she going to elope with him? He really had to take a trip to the camp
and remind her that she had a lover and children!

When Maisie was checking out some books from the library in the afternoon, the two girls with Wynona
looked at each other and started speaking. “It’s fine if the newbie steals other people’s men on the
outside, but now she’s doing it in camp too.”

“Exactly. She has just been here for a short time. If she were here for a longer time, all the men in the
camp would have been seduced.”

Maisie knew what they meant but ignored them. When she walked past them, Wynona grabbed onto her
and said, “Hey, I know what you did!”
