Chapter 1085

Maisie hugged Nolan from behind.

“I heard that Yorrick is currently in Zlokova?”

He placed his cell phone on the table.

“That guy had his eyes fixed on the project between Eastwood Enterprise and Tristan and went there to
take over.”

She was pondering about something while Nolan pounced on her abruptly. She was startled but then
placed her finger on his lips.

“Mr. Goldmann, you’ve been loafing around and doing nothing a lot recently, All you think about all day
long are filthy and indescribable events.”

Nolan held her finger. “As long as I have you by my side, I wouldn’t mind turning into a fatuous and
mindless man for the rest of my life.”

Maisie raised her eyebrows and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Then you better take good care
of your Johnson and your manhood.”

Nolan kissed her and unbuttoned her. “The eastern hemisphere has a lot of food and recipes that help
boost power and stamina in that department. All you need to do is cook some for me regularly, and I’ll
certainly still be able to satisfy you then.”

Meanwhile…



After Nolan hung up on Yorrick, the latter sat alone in the huge living room, sipping on his whiskey.He
pinched the foot of the glass with his fingertips and shook it lightly. His gaze landed on the contract
lying on the table as he hesitated whether to move on with the content of this contract.

‘Louis Lucas is right. Xyla is indeed not the sort of woman that I see all the time. Those women
approach me only because they seek material satisfaction and possessions. Their ambition and greed
are shown obviously on their faces, no matter who they are, nobles or peasants.

‘Although Xyla is with me for the money too, I don’t see the insatiable greed that I hate so much in her.’

Yorrick leaned back and held his forehead with one hand. He was a professional when it came to
dealing with all kinds of women, but he did not know what to do with a woman like Xyla.

‘If I were to really mutilate the innocent soul of a kind woman, it’d be difficult for me to live with my
conscience for the rest of my life.’

Yorrick’s cell phone vibrated twice. He picked up the phone and saw that it was a photo one of his
bodyguards had sent.

‘Jodie has actually gone to the hospital?’ He was about to put down the glass in his hand, but it
stopped in mid-air all of a sudden as his gaze looked down.

That’s right, it’s just a contractual relationship, not to mention that Xyla can surely handle this woman.
So, let’s just forget it.’

At the hospital…

A few perplexed patients were standing outside the ward while Jodie was kneeling on the floor and
begging Xyla for something in the ward.



“What’s going on?” “I heard that the woman who’s been hospitalized is having an affair with someone
else’s husband. And the wife has come here to ask the mistress to leave her husband and return the
man to her.”

“Oh my, just how shameless can the woman be? The wife sounds so pitiful.”

Jodie wiped her tears and sneered deep down when she heard the commotion at the door.

‘Aren’t you an arrogant one, Xyla Mayweather? Don’t you care a lot about how others see you? I
seriously doubt that this plan to force you into leaving him will fail.

‘All the wealthy men that I know started ignoring me ever since I was fired from the academy, so I don’t
have a stable source of income now. I don’t want to be a waitress at some random restaurant, and I
certainly don’t want to work a difficult and tiring job.

I don’t want to physically experience how much I’ve fallen from where I was before this.

‘Therefore, all there’s left for me to do is to get my hands on Yorrick Hathaway!

Jodie grasped onto Xyla’s hand. “Ms. Mayweather, you don’t love Yorrick anyway, so please leave him,
okay? I’m begging you.”

Xyla watched her play indifferently throughout the whole process. What Jodie was trying to do was both
pathetic and ridiculous to her.

‘She’s a woman who can only survive by relying on rich men. She’s suffering big time now as soon as
she doesn’t have anyone to rely on, isn’t she?

Xyla completely ignored the other patients who were standing at the door watching the play and
pushed Jodie away from her.” Ms. Smalls, you keep on telling me that Yorrick is your husband. Can



you prove that to me?”

Jodie choked on her own words. It was obvious that she could not bring up any evidence, but all she
needed to do was to convince the others.

“Ms. Mayweather, what kind of evidence do you want me to show you? You’re being so aggressive now
only because you want to force me into stepping down as the wife, aren’t you? You know for sure that
I’m deeply in love with Yorrick. I love him so much that I’ll do anything for him, so how can you stick
your oar into our marriage!?”
