“Do you know the relationship between this Ms. Chase and our boss? Why does he take such good care
of her?”
“Don’t ask a question that you shouldn’t be asking. Have you forgotten what happened last time? The
man who Meg had her eyes set on last time is Ms. Chase’s friend. When Ms. Chase stepped in and told
her to stay away from her friend, Meg wasn’t happy about it. She went to complain to our boss. Our boss
asked his men to give Meg a slap on the cheek and told her to mind her own business.”
Both of the girls carried Barbara to a room with antique decorations. There was a wall furnace. The wall
was red in color and filled with biblical scrolls.
They put Barbara on the bed and closed the door when they were on their way out.
The netizens were oblivious to Barbara’s incident, so they were easily manipulated. Michael was busy
with his family’s affairs, so he had no time to settle the things that were going on on the Internet.
Therefore, the name “Barbara” appeared on Google Trends. Sitting with her legs crossed on the couch,
Maisie scrolled through Google Trends. After a short while, she put her phone away and held the cushion
in her arms.
When Nolan came downstairs with the coffee cup in his hand, he glanced at the person sitting on the
couch.
He went to sit beside her and put the cup on the desk. “Are you still worried about Barbara?”
Maisie rested her head on his shoulder and said, “It has been pretty difficult for her. Her family is in
trouble, and the controversy of the past has come back to haunt her. She cannot explain to the public
clearly, and she is currently being attacked on the Internet. This is no different from pushing her to
death.”
After all, it had been many years since the incident. Most of the people had no memory of it, not to
mention that someone was inciting the masses from the dark.
Besides, it was true that the Chases had tried to suppress the news about Barbara at that time. Even if
Barbara had killed that person in self-defense, no one was there to prove the situation.
Nolan ran his hand over her head and said in a deep voice, “Have you forgotten about that video, Zee?”
“Video?” Maisie jerked up and looked at Nolan in shock.
It was only then she remembered the video on Katrina’s phone. The video had been taken on the spot
secretly, and they had originally wanted to capture the process of Eric violating Barbara to destroy her
reputation. –
When the two of them had been fighting over the knife, Barbara fell back on the bed. Eric had the knife in
his hand back then. He had pounced on her and threatened her. While Barbara was struggling, the knife
had accidentally stabbed Eric.
The video had fallen into Katrina’s hands, and Katrina had been using the video to threaten the Chases
for many years,
In other words, the video in Katrina’s hands was the only evidence they had right now.
The smile on Nolan’s face deepened as he said, “I still have the video on my computer. I haven’t deleted
it yet.”
Maisie threw herself at him and rested her chin on his shoulder. She chuckled lightly and said, “You’re
the best, Nolan. I know I can always rely on you”
Nolan secured her even tighter in his arms and kissed her. “So, what are you going to do to pay me
back?”
Maisie lifted her head and giggled. “Do you even need to ask? I’m sure you’ve already thought about it.”
Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled. “I want to see you wearing a maid’s outfit to
seduce me.” Maisie’s face turned red in embarrassment as she turned her head sideways. “W-Where did
you learn that from?” Nolan smiled amusingly and replied, “I’ve wanted to see it a long time ago. I’m sure
you will look great in it.” He caught her hair in his teeth and tucked it behind her ear, his breath muffled
and heavy.
“Shall we go back to our room?”

Maisie did not say anything.
Nolan scooped her up and went upstairs.
There was a box on the bed, and inside the box was the maid’s outfit. Maisie pinched his arm in
exasperation and hissed. “You set me up!”
A chuckle rolled out from Nolan’s throat as he replied, “Well, you can put it that way if
you want to.”
Maisie went into the changing room to get herself changed into the maid’s outfit.
Nolan was standing with his arms across his chest. There was a smile on his face as he asked, “Do you
need my help?”
