Chapter 589

“Yeah.” Maisie closed the newspaper and raised her head. “I’m heading to the company today, so I won’t
stay here with you.”

“Are you going to work too?”

“Otherwise, are you going to pay my bills?” She raised her eyebrows with a smirk, picked up a glass of
milk on the table, finished it in one go, and was about to get up

“Are you saying that I can’t afford to pay your bills for you?” Nolan looked at her aggressively.

“Am I so lousy that even my wife has to go out to work now?’

Maisie could not help laughing upon hearing this. She walked to his side and leaned over to look at him
with her arms propped against the dining table, pretending to be aggrieved. “I went out to work because
you said you dislike prodigal women. You also mentioned that you prefer smart and independent
women.”

“D-Did I say that?” Nolan frowned and pondered over that statement for a moment but to no avail.

Maisie pressed her fingertips against his lips and said in an enchanting and seductive tone, “Hubby, I’m
about to depart for work already . so don’t miss me too much.”

Nolan’s Adam’s apple rolled, but Maisie had already pulled herself away and left the scene without
waiting for him to react at all.

He froze in place and was forced to suppress all his impulses.

‘Why do I feel that she has gotten addicted to teasing me?’



At Soul Jewelry…

Maisie walked up to the counter, and the receptionist at the front desk smiled at her. “Hello, miss, what
kind of jewelry are you looking to purchase?”

She removed her black-framed glasses and smiled. “Is Director Fannon in?” “You’re looking for Director
Fannon?”

“Ms. Vanderbilt!?” Another female employee appeared out of nowhere and stared at Maisie in surprise.
This female employee happened to be an old employee of Soul Jewelry. “Is it really you? Weren’t you-”

Maisie smiled. “I’m back now. Where’s Uncle Kennedy?”

“Director Fannon is in the office. I’ll take you there!”

The female employee put away all the documents in her hand immediately, turned her head, and
whispered to the new employee, “Ms. Vanderbilt is the founder of Soul Jewelry and our boss. You should
remember this from now onward.”

She then brought Maisie toward the elevator.

The elevator ascended slowly, and she informed Maisie of all the operations that had taken place in Soul
Jewelry over the past three years. And that included the fact that Blackgold had acquired Soul Jewelry
and had been managing it under its enterprise after her accident three years ago.

“Blackgold acquired our company?” Maisie looked at her suspiciously.

She then explained. “That’s because many jewelry companies had been keeping an eye on Soul Jewelry
ever since news about your accident went public. Mr. Goldmann did not want the brand that you had just
created to fall into the hands of others, so he took the lead in acquiring Soul Jewelry and placing it under
the Blackgold Group.”



Maisie did not say anything.

‘The accident happened unexpectedly back then, and I didn’t even have the chance to explain everything
to Uncle Kennedy before leaving Zlokova. The company’s affairs were something that I didn’t even want
to manage at all with the mental state that I was in at the time. Thinking about it now. I might have placed
too many burdens onto Uncle Kennedy’s shoulders. He is still managing the company on my behalf.’

The elevator door opened, and Maisie walked toward the office and knocked on the door.

She only pushed the door open and walked in after she obtained permission to do so.

Kennedy was sitting behind the desk with his head buried in the documents lying in front of him, writing
something.

He was extremely focused until a familiar voice sounded. “Uncle Kennedy.”

Kennedy’s hand stopped moving for a moment. He then lifted his head to meet Maisie’s face in surprise
and stood up in shock. “Zee!?”

Ten minutes later…

Chapter 589

Kennedy and Maisie were sitting on the couch drinking tea. After her description and explanation, he
suddenly made sense of some of the events and incidents that had taken place back then.



Maisie raised her teacup and asked, “Uncle Kennedy, have there been any changes in the trend of the
jewelry industry in the past three years?”

Kennedy took a sip of tea and said, “There has been little next to no movement in the jewelry industry in
the past three years. Taylor Jewelry is still the pioneer in the jewelry industry. Although something
happened to you back then, Taylor Jewelry didn’t take the opportunity to withdraw the tanzanite supply
collaboration that we have with them.”
