Titus had chosen to believe in Rowena over and over again back then only because he wanted to give
Rowena the opportunity to change for the better. In fact, it was not that Titus did not doubt Rowena, it
was just that his prejudice against Maisie and his stubbornness made him turn a blind eye to the facts.
No one would deny that Titus had always been kind and benevolent to Rowena, but what he did not
know was that his kindness was also the force that drove Rowena toward the sins that she comrnitted.
Maisie leaned on his shoulder. “If she had a complete and happy family, perhaps...” ‘Perhaps she
wouldn‘t have grown into someone that extreme.‘ “So, you‘re a strong woman.” Nolan interfupted her
with a smile and held her cheek in his hand. “At least you‘ve grown into a kind and considerate woman.”
She taughed. “At least my mother loved me very much.”
Although her father and mother had not gotten together because of love, her mother‘s love for her was
sincere and genuine.
She thought of something and looked up at him. “By the way, you didn‘t go to confront Tanner, did you?”
Nolan responded with a faint hum. “This matter has nothing to do with Tanner, but Cecile has
approached him because she wants to use him to harm you.”
Maisie pursed her lips. “It‘s because of
Pearl.
‘The only thing that can be used to manipulate Tanner should be related to Pearl:
He laughed. “You‘re quite smart. That‘s why I asked Tanner to stay put for now when it comes to this
matter.”
“I‘ve always been Cecile‘s target.” Maisie stared straight at Nolan “But she hasn‘t come at me directly,
not even once. It seems that she‘s been playing a game of cat and mouse with me.”
Nolan laughed out loud. “Are you planning to fight back?”
“Otherwise, everything that‘s happened so far makes me seem so passive.” Maisie flattened the collar of
his shirt and
approached him. “Don‘t all good hunters usually appear as the prey at first?”
Nolan supported her neck gently with his palms, bowed his head, and kissed her on her forehead. “The
premise is that you‘re not allowed to get hurt again.”
She buried herself into his shoulder and exclaimed, “This was really an accident!”
Nolan stroked the top of her head with a smile. “That‘s why you should be even more vigilant starting
now, and what do you plan to do next?”
Maisie raised her head. “Then TH need your help, Noles.”
Two days later, gossip about Tanner of Hannigans Inc. taking revenge on Maisie was spreading like
wildfire within Blackgold.
I heard that Mr. Hannigan made a move on Mrs. Goldmann because of what happened to Ms. Santiago
back then. That‘s so terrifying.” “But didn‘t Ms. Santiago and Mr. Hannigan terminate their engagement
long ago? Why would Mr. Hannigan retaliate against Mrs. Goldmann for Ms. Santiago now? That‘s so
strange.”
“Who knows? Mrs. Goldmann seems to have suffered a lot of grievances. The two seemed to have
quarreled when she came to see Mr. Goldmann this morning. To be honest, this is my first time seeing
Mr. and Mrs. Goldmann make such a big fuss.”
The discussion between the two female staff members in the pantry just happened to be overheard by
Cecile, who was passing by. Cecile stood at the door and peeped in through the gap in the door, and the
corners of her lips twitched coldly.
‘Nolan quarreled with Maisie? This was really out of my expectations. Aren‘t the two of them Bassburgh‘s
model couple? It‘s so easy to create conflict between the two of them... Heh, sure enough, all men
change after marriage.
‘Maisie, oh Maisie, you‘re really a pitiful woman. ‘And Rowena, allow me to help you out, I‘ll make sure
you get to see how the man you loved so much falls into the abyss just like how your father did!
At the administrative office... Nolan kicked Quincy out of the office. All the staff of the administration
department witnessed the misery that Quincy was in and did not dare to even breathe.
