Chapter 239
After all, as long as they were Nolan’s children, the kinship would not change.
Colton turned his face away. “No matter what, I don’t like him.”
Waylon did not speak. He only knew that he would never treat anyone who had mistreated his mother
well.
“Nolan.” Rowena caught up to them, 1
Nolan turned his head indifferently and held Maisie’s hand. “What’s the matter?”
Maisie also looked back at her.
‘Isn’t it obvious that this woman has feelings for Nolan?’
“Nolan, don’t worry, I’ll help you persuade Grandpa. After all…” She said so and took a glance at Maisie,
“After all, it’d be unfair to make Ms. Vanderbilt join the military.” 1
Maisie squinted.
‘Will she help me without asking for anything in return?’
The three rugrats stared at Rowena.
‘How would this woman exude the aura that resembles that of Willow’s? Not to mention that she’s

Nolan’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he did not utter a word.
Maisie smiled faintly. “Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Summers. But I’m a woman of my words.”
The smile on Rowena’s face turned a little stiff. “Really? I’m just worried about you, Ms. Vanderbilt. You’ll
have to endure a lot of hardship when you’re in the military.”
“I’ve endured everything one can possibly imagine. Why would I still care about military life?”
After Maisie smiled, she withdrew her hand away from Nolan’s and walked toward the car with the kids
first.
Rowena was about to say something, but Nolan went after Maisie after seeing her leave.
Looking at the figures of the few people leaving, Rowena could not help but tighten the fists that were
resting at the sides of her body. 1
While they were on the way back…
Nolan tumed and stared at the young lady who was sitting next to him with her arms crossed. He then
leaned over with a smile.” Zee, did you agree to accept Grandpa’s challenge because you don’t want to
get separated from me?”
‘Otherwise, why would she agree to the difficult request from the old man? She really doesn’t want to
leave my side.’
Maisie took a glance at him and responded, “You’re overthinking. I just don’t like the feeling of being
looked down upon.”
No matter what her answer was, Nolan was delighted.
But then…
“Actually, I’m starting to regret it already.” Maisie sighed and looked him in the eyes. “I acted too
impulsively. If I didn’t agree with the old man, maybe I could—”
The man’s eyes dimmed before she could finish speaking, while his expression turned gloomy as he
gnashed his teeth. “Do you wish to piss me off?”
Maisie smiled lightly. “Your grandfather has already chosen a wife for you. I think Ms. Summers does
look very pretty. She should live up to your standards.”
Vivid expressions started appearing on Nolan’s sullen face when he heard those words. He then raised
his eyebrows slightly. “Are you acting out just because of this?”
“I’m giving you another chance, ain’t 1?” Maisie shrugged.

everything might go back to how it was originally.’ 1
Nolan leaned forward, pressed her against the seat, and pinched her chin. “I don’t need this opportunity.
I’ll punish you severely if
you dare push me to another woman once again, so remember that.”

Maisie’s cheeks lit up on fire as she looked away. “Your punishment has always been that, that’s it!” ‘It’s
always been the same old trick!
“I’m glad that you remember.” Nolan sat back into his seat and loosened the collar of his shirt, but the
comers of his lips were lifted proudly.

“Zee, look at this.” Kennedy brought a daily newspaper to Maisie’s desk and handed it to her.
It was written in capital letters on the front of the newspaper that Maisie was not a filial granddaughter
and had framed her relatives in order to gain equity in her family’s business.
At first glance, this was clearly Madam Vanderbilt and Yanis’s retaliation. It seemed that they were still
very persistent, and they were deliberately dragging her through the mud just to discredit her.
