Chapter 573

They took the elevator to the executive steak house located on the 12th floor. The entire restaurant
seemed to have been reserved. Several bodyguards were waiting on the outside, and only a few
waitresses were left behind to serve them.

Yorrick was waiting in the corridor. He looked down at his watch when the two of them arrived. “You’re
quite punctual.”

Nolan asked indifferently, “Where’s Grandmother?”

“She’s inside,” Yorrick said, turned around, and led them in.

Nolan held Maisie’s hand as they walked toward the dining room. Soon, they saw a white-haired old lady
sitting alone at the dining table with her back facing them, fiddling with a green rose found in a vase in
her hand.

Yorrick walked up to Madam Hathaway’s side and bent down. “Grandmother.”

Nolan led Maisie around the long white table to the seat opposite Madam Hathaway.

Madam Hathaway then inserted the flower into the vase, placed it aside, and slowly raised her head. “It’s
been so many years since ! last saw you. How have you and your father been doing?”

Maisie only got a better look at Madam Hathaway’s face. She was about 70 years old, and her hair was
as white as snow. However, judging from her facial features, she could see the stunning demeanor she
had back when she was younger.

Although her appearance was not as prepossessing as it was before, she still had the indifferent and
cool temperament with her. The aura she exuded came from her gaze, and her eyes looked so lucid as if



they were two crystal clear lakes.

Nolan smiled. “We’re doing fine. You can always return and have a look if you want to see him.”

Madam Hathaway’s gaze landed on Maisie. “Is she your wife?”

Nolan nodded without hesitation.

Maisie nodded politely and smiled. “Nice to meet you, Grandma.”

“Take a seat,” Madam Hathaway said slowly while pouring tea. “It’s just the few of us. No outsiders are
joining us today, so there’s no need to be so polite and restrained.”

Yorrick sat on the left-hand side of Madam Hathaway and summoned the waiter to serve the food, and
the waiter started to bring the dishes to the table.

“Grandmother, why are you in Stoslo?” Nolan looked at her.

Madam Hathaway held up her teacup. “I heard Yorry talk about the situation that you ran into in Stoslo,
saying that you were infected with the virus. But looking at your current complexion, I think you should’ve
recovered a lot.”

“Grandmother, I told you not to worry, didn’t I? How would he not be okay with Strix around?” Yorrick
sneered, and a hint of mockery could be seen through his eyes and brows.

Nolan cut the steak on his plate slowly. “Mr. Hathaway has a lot of money to spare. You have so much
money that the method you used to cripple someone is so crude. People who don’t know what has
happened will definitely think that you’ve shifted your career into running a charity.”

He was referring to the money that Yorrick had wasted on Roger.



Yorrick should have long known that those vaccines had nothing to do with Strix of Morwich, and those
vaccines were useless to him. Thus, even if Roger had the sum of money to monopolize all the sources
of the vaccines, he would still lose money.

Roger had borrowed the money from Yorrick, and they must have talked about what was in it for him.
Roger would still have to pay up if they suffered a huge loss or things went south.

Yorrick’s smile intensified. “If Grandmother didn’t ask me to help you this once, I wouldn’t be bothered to
lift a single finger of mine.” ,

“If what you did was to help me, I still have my grandmother to thank.” Nolan took a sip of red wine from
the glass.

Maisie took a glance at Yorrick and then at Nolan. Although she had figured out their relationship, she
was still a little surprised.

“By the way, aren’t you going to introduce Grandmother to her granddaughter-in-law?” Yorrick swayed
the glass of wine. “I heard that she used to be a jewelry designer in Luxella Inc. and graduated from a
famous college. You should do so so that Grandmother can know who’s the woman who snatched your
heart away from you.”

Maisie was stunned for a split second before looking at Yorrick. He looked as if he was sitting there,
waiting for the play to begin.

Nolan covered the back of her hand that was placed on the table with his palm. “It doesn’t matter who
Zee i s. The important thing is that I’m worthy of her.”
