Other people would pity her and think that the Knowles had abused her.
Most importantly, Tristan did not know anything about it.
Tristan had been busy with work and rarely came home.She was certain that Tristan would ask what
was going on when he saw her in her current situation.
Since everyone was here, she surmised that she should seize the chance and take the first move.
After all, even if Nollace was the one who led the Knowles, she was certain he wouldn’t dare to do
anything to her in front of everyone and disgrace the Knowles.She just needed to let Tristan know that
she had been mistreated the whole time, and once she asked him to let her stay outside alone, she
was certain that Tristan wouldn’t say no to her.
As long as she could leave Nollace's side, even for just a while, she would be able to get everything
she wanted.
She looked at Tristan and said carefully, "Godfather, I...I just wanted to make everyone else happy.Did I
do something wrong?"
Tristan frowned.
This banquet was to welcome his niece-in-law, so it was inappropriate for her to dress like this since
everyone knew she was his adopted daughter.
"Go get yourself changed."
Lisa did not do as Tristan said.
Instead, she looked fearfully at Nollace.
Although Diana did not like Lisa, she was the one who had saved Tristan’s life.
If what happened today got out, other people might accuse them of being ingrates, and that would put
the Knowles ina difficult position.
"Do as your godfather said.Go get yourself changed."
She ordered the maid to bring her away, but Lisa pushed the maid away and knelt in front of Diana.She
raised her voice and shouted, "Ma’am, I know Nolly doesn’t like me, and I know my presence will only
bring disgrace to the Knowles, but I can move out of the Knowles mansion.I won’t be an eyesore to
Nolly again."
Even though she staged this herself, everyone knew what she was trying to say.
Nollace did not like her and treated her badly.
Diana froze.She had never asked what her son was doing, and since she had been sick the whole
time, she rarely came out of her bedroom.She did not know that Nollace had asked Lisa to work as a
maid.She looked at Nollace, who had a calm expression on his face, surprised as if she was waiting for
him to explain to her.
Nollace was calm, and there was not a single emotion in the depths of his eyes.
Honestly, he did not expect Lisa would pull something like this on him.
In order to regain her freedom, she was willing to go to the extent of fabricating a lie to make him look
like he was the bad guy.He lowered his eyes and walked toward Diana with a smile on his face.
Then, he said honestly, "Mom, I’m the one who asked her to do all the maids’ work."
Diana was bewildered.
"Nolly, you..."
She couldn’t see through her own son despite being well aware that herson did not like Lisa at all.
Nollace nodded at her and continued.
"Mom, I have my own reason for doing this.Today's banquet is about you, so you don't have to worry
about this matter.I'll give you a satisfactory explanation later."
After that, he walked toward Tristan, "Uncle Tristan, I’m sorry.I should’ ve told you about it earlier.If you
want to punish me, I'l] accept it wholeheartedly."
Tristan took a deep breath and put the glass of wine down.
"Like you said, today’s banquet is about your mother.Let’s talk about this the other time."
He turned to Lisa and said, "Go get yourself changed first."
Lisa also knew that now was the right moment for her to back down.It wouldn't do her any good if she
continued to make a scene here.
After all, everyone was on her side right now.She nodded and went upstairs to get herself changed.
Tristan and Rick continued to entertain the guests.
The guests did not have any reason to interfere with the Knowles' family affair, so they put the things
that happened just now to the back of their heads.
No one saw the expression on Daisie’s face.
She did not care how Lisa's life was in the Knowles mansion, but she did not like it when she called
Nollace "Nolly."
