Chapter 722

Maisie was stunned for a while before she nodded. She followed the police officer into the interrogation
room. She answered all of the questions from the police officers honestly. Since police officers felt that
she was not lying based on her expression and there was no way Jason could justify his claims, she was
released.

As soon as she came out of the police station, she saw Nolan’s car outside and figured that it must be
Saydie who had informed him.

Nolan got out of the car. He was wearing a black three-piece suit that made him look upright and serious.
The wind had tousled his hair. There were harsh lines running down either side of his face, and his gaze
was cold.

When Maisie stopped in front of him, he grabbed her so tightly into his arms that veins were bulging out
of the back of his hand. He kissed the top of her head deeply without saying anything.

Maisie buried her face in his chest and said, “I’m sorry, Nolan.”

His heart was pumping fast, and it was only then Maisie realized how worried and scared he was.

He pressed his lips tightly on her forehead and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank goodness that you’re
alright.”

Maisie lifted her head to look at him. “Can you not do anything before I figure everything out?”

Nolan’s gaze was deep as he replied flatly.”

Okay. Everything you said.”



Louis came to look for Xyla. Due to what had happened to her last night, Xyla had been staying in her
apartment.

She had not moved out of her apartment even after coming back from overseas.

Therefore, she was overjoyed when Louis came to find her. “You still remember that I live here.”

Louis stood in front of the door with no intention of going in at all. “Do you know that your assistant is
being detained in the police station now?”

Xyla was dumbfounded. “What?”

Jason is being detained in the police station?’

Louis turned around and walked to the window beside the corridor. He looked at the view of the
neighborhood and continued. “He’ s arrested because he tried to harm Maisie with a strong sulfuric acid.
As for what will happen to him, it depends on Mr. Goldmann.”





Xyla froze.

It appeared to Louis that she did not know what Jason had done. “How is that

possible? Is Ms. Vanderbilt alright now?”

“She’s fine. Jason didn’t manage to do it,” Louis said as he turned around and looked at her. “I just
wanted to come and make sure of it.”

“I didn’t ask Jason to do that!” Xyla could see that Louis was still suspicious of her. She explained, “I
didn’t expect Jason would do something like that.”



Louis nodded. He turned his head around and looked outside of the window again without saying
anything.

Xyla’s shoulders trembled, and her eyes turned red around the rim. “You don’t trust me? Do you think I
was the one who sent Jason to do that to her?”

His refusal to respond irritated Xyla. “I’m not stupid enough to harm her, but why did she try to harm
me!?”

It was only then Louis turned around and looked at her. “She’s trying to harm you?”

Xyla sneered and said, “I was nearly raped by someone last night, and that person told me that it was
Maisie who sent him to me . Yes, it’s true that I have my own motive for signing the endorsement
contract with Soul. I know she’s wary of me, but I’ve never really done anything to her, so why must she
do that to me?”

Louis frowned slightly and said after a short while, “Maisie isn’t that kind of person.

“Oh yeah? Why do you trust her so much?” Xyla said as tears began to roll down her face, “Your fiance
is Ryleigh, and she’s just her friend. You’d rather believe in her friend than me?”

Louis turned around and looked at her. “It’s because she’s my cousin. She is my mother’s niece, and I
know better than you what kind of person she is.”

Xyla was taken aback.

‘Maisie is Louis’ cousin!?’

Before Louis left, he said, “Even if she wanted to do something to you, she wouldn’t resort to such a
nasty approach. I suggest you look into it yourself and see if you’re someone’s cat’s paw.”
