Hector shrugged. “Everything has been fine apart from the difficulty I faced at the
beginning because of the language barrier. However, after being there for a long time, I
made friends, and things improved over time.”
She smiled. “That sounds great. By the way, what’s your friend’s name? You should
invite him to zlokova someday in the future. I’ll have to treat him to a meal for you.”
“His name is Eric. By the way, his father used to be a shareholder of Luxella. I wonder if
you’d know the father?”
Maisie was startled, “which shareholder of Luxella?”
Hector replied, “His father’s name is Harry Knowles.”
Maisie was astonished for a split second and then burst into laughter all of a sudden.
“He turns out to be Mr. Knowles’ son. Then you’re truly a lucky b*stard.”
‘Mr. Knowles has always been very friendly to others, and his connections in Stoslo are
also very strong. The apple never falls far from the tree, so the son that he brought up
would naturally be as great as the father. It can only be said that Hector is indeed very

‘It’s said that birds of a feather flock together. Making excellent friends has always
been considered as collecting wealth on one’s path to success, while messing around
with bad friends will only impede his chance of succeeding.
‘This sounds very brutal and real because it’s the reality.’
After the two of them had breakfast, when they were paying the bills at the cashier, they encountered Tanner and a
woman, who were coming in their direction. Tanner was holding a child in one hand and the woman in the other—
the whole scene looked very warm and blissful.
Maisie did not recognize the woman, who was Pearl, but she was a little surprised when she saw this scene.
Seeing Maisie, Pearl was stunned and stopped moving for a moment. Tanner turned around and looked at her.
Maisie’s gaze was fixed on their interlocked hands.
‘Because of Pearl’s matter, Tanner has never had an affair with any other woman in the past three years, and it’s
even more impossible for him to have a child of this age.
‘Therefore, Pearl is the only one that he would treat with such care nowadays.’
Maisie greeted them with a polite smile, followed Hector as he turned and was about to leave, walked past the
couple, and left the diner.
Pearl turned her head. “Maisie.”
Maisie stopped, turned around slowly, and glanced at Pearl.
Pearl let go of Tanner’s hand and walked toward her. “ I wish to talk to you.”
Maisie took a glance at Tanner, and it did not look like he was going to stop her from doing so.
Thus, she gave off a smile, “okay.”
Maisie and Pearl walked to the French windows in the corridor. The plants outside the window looked so green and
lively, bringing a different view to the rooftops around the city.
Pearl looked out the window and said slowly, “You wanted to see me three years ago, but I didn’t agree to meet you
back then.”

Maisie turned to look at her. “I know.”
“I used to hate you, but I don’t hate you anymore. I just don’t have the courage to face
you.” Pearl turned around and stared at Maisie. “Because I’ll think of those things that
happened and the things that I did back then whenever I see you. I thought I’d find
relief by hiding from you. That’s why I avoided meeting you cowardly.”
“Maisie.” she called her name. “I can finally face you now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and hugged her.
Pearl was astounded, and the darkness in her heart faded gradually as if the dark
clouds that were overcasting the rainy sky disappeared after the rain. It was replaced
by a rainbow slashing across the now clear sky.
Maisie smiled and comforted her. “You’ve done a great job.”
Pearl’s eyes turned bloodshot immediately.
She could finally bid her past self goodbye and no longer needed to live with the guilt
anymore.

It rained very frequently during the hot summer. Especially after the sweltering heat,
there was always heavy rain.
Nolan stood in front of the French window with an arm akimbo, holding a mug of coffee.
The rain outside the window was so heavy that it almost clouded the surrounding
scenery.
Quincy walked into the office and stood behind him after knocking on the door. “Mr.
Goldmann, the representative of Hannigans Inc. has come and left.” Nolan turned
around. “What did they say?”
