Chapter 724
“She brought that to herself. I can’t help her. I can’t let the Hannigans get destroyed in her hands!”
Nathaniel said expressionlessly
He then went upstairs without looking at both of them.
Maizie’s body trembled.
Had what she had done been discovered?
That was the thought that surfaced in her head.
All of the socialites in Bassburgh were discussing the matter of Maizie getting chased out of the
Hannigans, and the news soon reached Maisie’s ears.
She already knew from Saydie that it was Maizie who had hired someone to rape Xyla and push the
blame to her. By the time she learned about it, she did not know whether she should laugh or get angry.
‘Perhaps this is what they used to say” When you don’t look for trouble, trouble will find its way to you”.
A female employee appeared outside and knocked on the door. “Ms. Vanderbilt, Ms. Mayweather is here
to see you.”
Maisie froze, and her eyes blinked.
“Let her in.”
Xyla walked into the office-gone was the arrogant and confident girl.
“I came to apologize to you on behalf of Jason. Jason is my assistant and has been training abroad with
me for many years. It was only because of Maizie that he would do something so rashly to you.”
Since she had come to apologize and she was fine, Maisie decided to forgive her.
“Please take care of your assistant in the future, Ms. Mayweather. I’m easy-going, but Nolan is not.”
Xyla made a bow and said, “Thank you.”
Maisie did not say anything anymore as she watched her leave her office.
She had heard that Jason was detained for 15 days. Even if he got released, Xyla’s company wouldn’t
let him stay with her anymore, and Maisie felt this should be a good lesson for both of them.
In the afternoon, Maisie visited Blackgold with the mealbox that she made. The staff at the front desk told
her that Nolan was having a meeting right now, so she went to wait for him in the office.
Maisie sat in the leather chair behind the desk. She turned around and looked at the view through the
ceiling-to-floor window.
She kicked the floor, and the chair kept turning. She played with the chair for a long while until a hand
appeared and fell on the back of the chair. He turned her over to face him and said, “Seems like you’re
having a lot of fun.”
Nolan placed both his hands on the armrest of the chair. He leaned forward and trapped Maisie within his
arms. There seemed to have been such a scene deep in his memory.
Inside his memory, he had trapped her in his arms, and she was sitting in front of him.
There was a smile in Maisie’s eyes as she said, “Well, it’s not as fun as when I’m playing with you.”
Nolan gave her forehead a light flick as he said helplessly, “Stop messing with me. I’m worried that I
won’t be able to hold myself back.”
Maisie looked at the mealbox on the table and said, “The snacks I made for you got cold since your
meeting took so long.”
“It’s okay.” Nolan walked over to the table and opened up the mealbox. There were some cookies and
cakes inside.
“I’ll eat whatever you made for me.”
Maisie stood up and led him to his chair. She made him sit down and said, “Then you’ll need to give it a
good try.”
Nolan chuckled and popped one of the cookies into his mouth. She went closer to him and asked, “Is it
good?”
“It’s good” Nolan replied. “It feels like I’ve not been eating anything made by you for a long time.”
Maisie was stunned.
It was true that she rarely went to the kitchen after returning to Bassburgh. When she had been making
cookies and cake today, she felt that her baking skills had gotten a little rusty.
“Mr. Goldmann.”
Quincy entered the office and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Maisie was also in the office.
‘But this isn’t my fault. It was them who didn’t close the door!
An awkward expression appeared on Nolan’s face. Upon his return from the meeting, the receptionist
had told him that Maisie was here. As such, his mind had been so occupied with the thought of coming to
see her that he had forgotten to close the door.
He placed the mealbox down and asked,” What’s happening?”
Quincy went forward and said hesitantly,” It’s about Colton…”
Both Nolan and Maisie were stunned.
However, Maisie came back to her senses first and asked anxiously, “What happened to Colton?”
