Nolan moved the ashtray aside and tapped the table with his fingertips. “Does Hernandez know about
this?”
He was referring to what had happened to Maisie in Stoslo.
Quincy paused for a split second and then replied, “I think Hernandez should know.”
Maisie was soon taken to the Lucases, and she somehow managed to guess why Hernandez was
looking for her.
Larissa led her to the study, where Hernandez was standing in front of the window with his hands behind
his back. He then asked without even looking back, “Were you and Nolan attacked in Stoslo?”
Maisie gave off a faint smile. “Your information seems to travel at lightspeed.”
“Heh, Stoslo is a territory under my watch, anyway. They reported the news to me right after they
received the news. It seems that those people can’t hold back anymore.”
Hernandez turned around calmly, and his gaze landed on Maisie. “I’m correct, after all. Although I won’t
use you to deal with the Goldmanns since you and Nolan
are together, the other party won’t be as soft-hearted a
Maisie stepped forward. “Sir Hernandez, have you ever thought that you might have been misled about
the matter between the Goldmanns and the de
Armas?”
Hernandez’s expression looked stern and displeased.” Are you still going to explain for the Goldmanns?”
Maisie knew that mentioning the Goldmanns would make Hernandez unhappy, but she had always
wanted to ask so that she could get all the details sorted out. “Okay, then I’ll ask you directly, does the
kidnapping of Nolan’s mother from 15 years ago have anything to do with you?”
Hernandez snorted. “Don’t the Goldmanns say it’s me? What else do you need me to explain?”
Maisie had her expectations fulfilled. “So it was not you, right?” Hernandez responded indifferently, “Even
if it’s not me, it’s impossible for the grievances between the Goldmanns and the de Armas to end just like
this.”
Maisie remained silent.
As expected, he knows what happened 15 years ago, but he doesn’t even want to explain himself when
the Goldmanns suspect that it’s him. All this was just because of his hatred for the Goldmanns, so what
the Goldmanns say has nothing to do with him.
‘So whether that incident had happened or not, he would still hate the Goldmanns. But at least I now
know that it has nothing to do with the de Armas.
Maisie lowered her gaze and smiled. “Glad to know that it wasn’t you.”
Hernandez paused for a short while, and his expression turned serious. “I advise you to leave the
Goldmanns. Now that those people already know that you’re Nolan’s wife, they won’t let you go this
easily.”
“I won’t leave him. I wouldn’t be able to stand here in front of you now if Nolan hadn’t protected me at the
time.” Maisie shook her head. ‘I won’t leave no matter who tries to persuade me, not even if Nolan wants
to divorce me.’
“You-”
“Grandpa, this is the first time I’ve called you this.”
Larissa was stunned, and even Hernandez was surprised because it was the first time Maisie was willing
to call her grandfather in such a long time.
Maisie’s attitude was not as rigid as before too. “I know you hate the Goldmanns, but maybe some of the
incidents really have nothing to do with the Goldmanns-”
“They have nothing to do with some of the incidents?” Hernandez slammed the desk and questioned her
loudly, “Then did I lose a leg for nothing?”
“Nolan’s great-grandfather should have amputated one of your legs when he was holding you hostage if
he really wanted to do so. Thus, why bother to let you go and then do it after that?” Maisie retorted
calmly.
‘From what Uncle Erwin told me, I could see that Nolan’s great-grandfather wouldn’t kill innocent people
indiscriminately, let alone a child.
Hernandez frowned. “Who told you this, Nolan?”
“No,” Maisie replied, “It’s Uncle Erwin. He just happens to know something too.” “Who did you just say?
Erwin!?” Hernandez was obviously shocked. “How did you get to know him?”
