Chapter 980

Nolan lowered his head and chuckled. “I missed you too.” Maisie looked around the exit. “Where’s our
daughter?”

Nolan turned around while Daisie and Quincy slowly walked up to them from behind.

Just when Maisie was about to go up to her and give her a hug, Daisie walked past her a s if she had not
seen her.

Maisie was astonished. She turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with Daisie?”

Quincy was a little awkward. “Mrs.

Goldmann, Mr. Goldmann will explain everything to you.”

Maisie turned to look at Nolan, and Nolan

clenched his hand, placed it in front of his lips, and cleared his throat softly. “We’ll talk about it while
we’re on our way home.” ;

Daisie and Quincy sat in the rear of the car while Nolan and Maisie took the same car. Nolan recounted
to Maisie what had happened to Daisie when they were on their way back. She was extremely dispirited
because she had witnessed Nollace still get brought back to Yaramoor in the end, but she could not do
anything to stop it. She felt like she had lost a friend and was very depressed about it.

She really loved staying close to Nollace. The reason she had followed Nollace to Octavia was only to
save him.

Maisie looked at him. “Didn’t you go to Octavia because you could save these two children?” Nolan was
about to say something but hesitated.



I’d indeed be able to save both of them before I got to know that Thomas is my maternal grandfather and
found out about the other things.

‘Octavia is the territory of the Cliffords. If I were to have made a rash move without knowing anything, it’d
be impossible for us to retreat safely and soundly, let alone Daisie, no matter how good my men are.’

“Zee, about this matter-”

Before he could finish speaking, Maisie placed her finger against his lips to stop him, “Okay, don’t say
anything. Noilace has only been sent back to Yaramoor, so maybe they’ll still have a chance to meet
each other in the future. Daisie will only be downcast for a while.”

Nolan’s eyelids drooped. “No, that’s not possible anymore.”

Maisie was astonished. “What?”





Nolan looked out of the car window. “I’ve received news from Yaramoor saying that Noilace was
assassinated as soon as he arrived in the country. Madam Knowles didn’t even let Noilace live to see
Yaramoor’s land again. Her plan to abduct Noilace to Octavia was only to avoid Tristan’s men. No matter
how powerful and influential Tristan is, he wouldn’t be able to save Noilace in Thomas’s territory.”

Maisie froze in place for a moment and then took a deep breath. “Wait a minute. T-This is impossible,
right? That boy is dead?”

Nolan did not say anything.

But his silence had already given her everything that she needed to know.



Maisie did not know what the emotion she was feeling deep down was. No matter what, Nollace had still
been a boy who was alive and well. He had even gotten to spend quite some time with her children.

‘If I were to let them know about this…

‘Especially Daisie, how sad would she be?’

Nolan hugged her. “I wish that it was not true too, so we can only hide this from the kids for now.”

A few days later, at Yaramoor…

Zeta walked to the study and knocked on the door. “Madam, the boat has arrived at the dock. We should
leave now.”

Madam Knowles stood in front of the fireplace and threw the photos in her hands into the fireplace, and
the fire devoured the photos, giving off crackling sounds.

She then exited the study with Zeta, and several cars were already parked outside the gate. Zeta opened
the car door for her. As soon as Madam Knowles got into the car, she closed the door and stepped into
the front passenger seat. “Let’s go.”

The driver started driving, followed by several vehicles behind them.

Madam Knowles sat in the rear seat with her poodle in her arms. She had to return to her home, East
Winston, after all.

Cllap୧୮ ୨୪W।

Several cars were parked at the pier.



Madam Knowles then got out of the car, and a luxurious cruise ship bound for East Winston was docked
at the pier, waiting for them to board.

“Madam, please board the boat.” The bodyguard made a gesture of showing

Madam Knowles the way.

Zeta and Madam Knowles walked up the steps with bodyguards behind them, but that was when they
were assaulted.

Several gunshots sounded all over the place, and Madam Knowles reacted by bending forward and
standing steadily. The poodle in her arms was frightened and kept barking and broke free from Madam
Knowles’ arms.
