Chapter 594
Ryleigh froze. Her father had been nagging her about her marriage with Louis, and the only reason he was letting
her stay in his house was that he thought she had decided to marry Louis.
‘Will my father chase me out of the house if I tell him that I want to cancel the marriage?’
She turned back to the couch and sat down. Looking at Louis, she said, “But if it’s your family that canceled the
marriage, my father wouldn’t force me to marry you.”
Louis’s eyes glimmered. “Everyone in Bassburgh knows about the marriage between our families, so do you think
it’s that easy to cancel it? Besides, even if we want to cancel the marriage, your family will get the short’end of the
stick. Do you think your father would allow something like that to happen?”
Ryleigh did not know what to say.
Just when she was hemming and hawing, Maisie and Larissa came downstairs. When Larissa saw them, she smiled
and said, “Ryleigh, what are you guys talking about?”
“Aunt Larissa, 1-”

it’s about time for us to get engaged, right?”
Ryleigh’s expression changed. “You…”
She knew that Louis must be doing this on purpose when she saw the meaningful grin on his face.
‘He’s willing to sacrifice one of the most important life events in his life just because I kicked him? He’s going to get
back at me after the engagement, right?’
Larissa smiled. She turned around and said to Maisie,” Zee, you’re Ryleigh’s friend. She’s going to become your
cousin-in-law!”
Maisie glanced at Ryleigh and replied, “Yeah. I didn’t see that coming either.”
After leaving the Lucas mansion, Ryleigh walked up to the car and kicked the tire. “I’m done for! He must be doing
this to get it back at me for kicking him. What a m gonna do now?”
Maisie patted her shoulder and said, “Calm down.
Being angry won’t get you anywhere.”
Ryleigh got into the car and put on the seatbelt, “I thought I could run away from it if I didn’t mention it for the past
three years.”
Maisie turned around to look at her and said, “Louis is good-looking and talented. He’s a very good candidate when
it comes to being a husband, and the socialites i n Bassburgh want to marry him. Why does it seem to me that you
don’t like him very much?”
Jerking her head, Ryleigh stared at Maisie and replied, “Zee, don’t try to speak up for him just because he’s your
cousin. I admit that he’s really handsome, but he has the worst personality. If I really become his wife, he will
certainly make my life harder than living in hell”
“So, what are you worried about?”
“…” Ryleigh paused for a moment. She lowered her head slightly and continued. “It’s just a marriage of
convenience. I don’t know much about him, and we don’t love each other at all. Zee, in the past, you kept saying
that you wished you were me, but now, I wish I were you . At the very least, you married a man who you love and
loves you back.”
Maisie’s eyes swiveled around her socket as if she was thinking something. Suddenly, she placed her hand on her
shoulder and said, “I can help you to feel him out.”
In the evening, Maisie returned to the Goldmann mansion and saw Quincy saying something to the butler. When the
butler noticed her, he nodded at her and said, “Welcome back, Madam.”

Quincy cleared his throat and said awkwardly, “Mr. Goldmann is in the study room, and I think he’s feeling a little
defeated.”
“Feeling defeated? Nolan? Why?” Maisie asked.
After a short while of contemplation, Quincy replied,” Mr. Goldmann went back to the Blackgold Group today. He
has forgotten many things, and the interior has changed a lot over the years, so-”
Understanding instantly dawned upon Maisie, and she interrupted him. “The others didn’t suspect anything, did
they?”
Quincy was taken aback for a moment before he replied, “Some of them did, but they didn’t have the guts to ask
anything. Mr. Goldmann took over the Blackgold Group so soon because he wants to regain his memory as soon as
possible.”
Maisie walked upstairs and stopped in front of the study room. Just when she was about to push the door, a tall
figure appeared in front
