“Nol- Nolan?”
Maisie thought the man next to her looked like Nolan, but he slowly sat up and moved toward her, “What
did you call me?”
Maisie raised her hand meekly to hold the man’s collar but realized the man wasn’t Nolan, so she
immediately pushed him away
She turned around, and there were a few men that looked identical. They put out their hands toward her
with evil smiles
“Ah!”
Maisie hugged her head, screaming her head off because she could no longer control her emotions. The
terror on her face replaced her beauty,
“This drug is really strong.” Seeing she had almost lost her mind, the men knew that the drug had taken
effect.
“I’ll give the rest to her tomorrow.”
The men turned to leave, but the door was opened. Someone had budged in.
The people inside looked pale. They saw a lame man with a cane walk in with a few burly-looking men.
H e removed his hat. “Give that woman to me.”
“Gerald, what are you-”
“You kidnapped Mr. Goldmann’s lover and brought her to my place. Are you trying to get me in trouble?”
The lame man looked pale. He hit the man with his cane.
“Mr. Goldmann’s lover? She–”
“Who instructed you to do this?”
“Nelson asked me to kidnap the daughter of Stephen Vanderbilt. We didn’t know-”
Gerald pointed his cane at him. “I won’t be able to save Nelson Baker. Get him to run as far as he can.
Send this woman to the hospital immediately. Mr. Goldmann is searching for her now. If my place is
trashed, I’m going to beat you up!” “There’s trouble!”
A boy ran in. “Gerald, Mr. Goldmann’s men are here!”
Gerald was stunned, gave them a hard stare, and walked out with his cane.
The casino was in chaos. One of the gamblers was hugging his head in a corner, while the fighters that
had been beaten badly laid on the floor, unable to get up
“Mr. Goldmann, I’m so sorry. My men have been blinded and kidnapped your woman. I’ve tried to stop
them. Please forgive us.”
This chaos had caused him a huge loss, but offending the Goldmanns would be a different type of
nightmare.
Even though they were all desperados running illegal businesses, they knew who not to anger.
If they offended the Bouchers, the worst-case scenario was that they would be put in jail with a record.
However, they might lose a lot more than their freedom if they angered the Goldmanns.
Goldmann stretched. “Who did it?”
“It was Nelson. He was instructed to kidnap your woman, but don’t worry. I’ll report to you when I get my
hands on him.”
Gerald was the leader of the gangsters, but he was nothing compared to the Goldmanns. To protect his
place, he had to hand Nelson over since this all had happened because of him.
Nolan walked to him and looked down. “I’ll give you three days to hand him over. If not, you can say
goodbye to your entire underground business.”
“Yes, I’ll do as you say,” Gerald replied with beads of sweat on his brows.
Maisie was brought out, but she looked as though she was in a trance since her mind wasn’t clear.
Nolan went over to get her. Her body was cold, and her eyes were empty.
The few men noticed the cold atmosphere and shuddered. “Mr. Goldmann, don’t worry, we didn’t do
anything to her. We just gave her a shot-“
