Louis placed the bowl down and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief. “Mother, are you sure that you
want to come to a conclusion so early?”
Larissa was about to say something when a roar suddenly came from upstairs. “Louis Lucas, you b* stard!”
Ryleigh dashed downstairs furiously without even bothering to put on her shoes. Her eyes were still looking puffy
due to all the crying from last night. “Didn’t I tell you to bring me to a hotel? Why did you.”
When she saw that Larissa and the housekeeper were downstairs with Louis too, her legs swayed, and she grasped
onto the staircase’s handrail, almost falling and rolling down the stairs.
Larissa was stunned. “Ryleigh!?”
A stiff and awkward smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
‘This is it, I’ve been completely misunderstood!
At Soul Jewelry…
Maisie was sitting in her office coming up with sketches of designs when she received a message from Nolan on her
cell phone.

She sneered while looking at the screen of her phone and replied.
[How would I forget about that?]
Nolan replied almost instantly.
[I’m afraid that you’re so busy that you’ll forget about it, so I have to remind you all the time as your husband.
A cute emoji was added to the end of the text message.
Being unprepared for the emoji, Maisie laughed out loud for a long time while looking at the screen.
Coincidentally, a text message from “The Single Ladies of Bassburgh” group chat, which had not been active for a
long time, popped up all of a sudden, saying that Maizie had had her eyes fixed on Francisco, the Bouchers’ second
young heir.
When Francisco was mentioned in the group, Maisie could not help but give off a sigh. She had met Francisco in the
training camp three years ago.
Although they had not interacted with each other a lot, she still remembered that she owed him a favor.
‘But let’s wait for Nolan to regain his memories first. Otherwise, I’ll have to coax the man who’s lost his memory if
he misunderstands us!
At noon, Madam Nera invited her to have high tea at an open-air restaurant at a private golf course.
Madam Nera still treated her very well after not seeing her for so many years, and the two of them chatted happily
throughout the afternoon.
After learning that Madam Nera was about to resign from the Board of Directors of Taylor Jewelry, Maisie was
stunned. “Are you going to retire already?”
Madam Nera fiddled with the flowers on the table.” Yes, after all, I’m already at this age. It’s time to let things go.”
It was true that Madam Nera was already approaching 70 years of age. She could have retired a few years earlier,
but she had been so conscientious that she remained in her position for a longer period, and it was not a bad thing
for her to retire from her position and enjoy her life now.
Maisie smiled. “Then I can still ask you to come out for tea in the future, can’t I?”
Madam Nera held up her teacup. “Of course, you can. I have no children. I’ll be delighted if you don’t dislike me and
come to accompany me more.”
Madam Nera never got married. It could be said that she had dedicated her whole life to her career, and Taylor
Jewelry had always been her life companion.
But Maisie did not see any regret on Madam Nera’s face because she clearly knew what she wanted and had gone

wholeheartedly. And what she had achieved was very satisfying for her.
Maisie got up, moved her chair, and sat down beside her, smiling brightly and smartly. “Then why not take
me in as your god-granddaughter?”
Madam Nera was dumbfounded. She placed her teacup down immediately and asked happily, “Oh really? But
would you want that?”
“Of course, I would.” Maisie took her arm. “I don’t have many relatives left in the world, not to mention that you’ve
helped my career so much that I can’t even start to repay your kindness. Thus, I can only become your god-
granddaughter and treat you better in the future to achieve that.”
Madam Nera gave off a wide grin and said, “Great, that sounds delightful. I’m more than happy to take you in as my
god-granddaughter.”.
At this time, Maisie noticed a few people walking up to them in tandem from not far away, and the woman who
looked extremely familiar to her was Maizie.
Maizie caught up to one of the men and wanted to stretch out her hand to grab the man, but the man dodged her,
turned his head, and talked to his friend, who was walking beside him, ignoring Maizie.
