Chapter 996
Ryleigh did not know if Louis was worth her trust. Maybe it was not because she did not believe in him,
but it was just that she… She cared too much.
Louis turned around and was about to leave. However, Maisie just happened to walk up to the door at
that moment, so she leaned against the door. “Where are you going?”
Ryleigh heard her voice, turned over, and sat up, looking as if she was extremely aggrieved. “Zee…”
Maisie glanced at her, walked up to Louis, and gave off a pregnant smile. “Are you going to find Xyla and
settle the account with her?”
Louis rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I’m only going to ask her…”
“She has nothing to do with these photos.” Maisie passed by him and walked toward Ryleigh.
Louis was stunned, while Ryleigh was also taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Ryleigh had been crying again, Maisie chuckled. “You fool, were you just going to sit aside
as Louis was about to go to Xyla and give her hell because of this matter? How much longer would this
matter continue if I were not to come over?”
Ryleigh was a little puzzled. “Zee, do you know something?”
Louis came over, and he was still bewildered at what Maisie had just said. “What are the photos about?”
Maisie handed him the photos in her hand. He grabbed them, took a look at them, and
frowned.
Ryleigh pulled Maisie. “Zee, what’s going on?”
Maisie poked her head with her fingertips.” You should always get to the bottom of things first before
starting to cry. How old are you? You’re still acting like how Daisie would. Do I still have to take care of
you like your mother?”
Ryleigh asked hesitantly, “Then, should I call Mr. Goldmann ‘Dad’ from now on?”
“He wouldn’t want a daughter as dumb as you are,” Maisie gave off a despising look and then stared at
Louis. “I asked Xyla about the photos. You were shooting the pilot film of the music documentary at that
time. The director’s team and Charles Nixon from your academy were all there too.”.
Louis nodded. “Yes, these photos were taken during the shooting, but what you see in the photo isn’t the
truth. This photo… It seems to have been photoshopped. Charles was by my side at that time.”
Charles and the others had all been removed from the photo to make it look like only the two of them
were on a date. Ryleigh was momentarily astonished and looked at him. “If you guys were only shooting
a pilot film, then why did you hide it from me?”
Louis felt helpless. “Even if I didn’t tell you, you’d still get to know when it’s released. Apart from that, I
have absolutely nothing to do with Xyla, so I don’t think I need to explain everything to you all the time. It
is up to you to decide whether you want to believe in me or not.” if she were to have faith in me, all
explanations would be redundant because the truth would soon be revealed. ‘But these photos are
clearly part of a scheme. So, if I were to explain everything to her without getting to the bottom of this
matter, all my efforts would be in vain if she still didn’t believe it.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyleigh did not say anything. Maisie glanced at her. “Ryleigh, who sent these photos to you?” Ryleigh
paused for a split second. “I don’t know either. These photos were originally sent to my email address.”
“They were sent to your email address?” Maisie was stunned for a short moment and wondered. “Does
anyone else know your email address?”
Ryleigh shook her head. “No one knows about it, only some of my former classmates, but they wouldn’t
try to contact me out of the blue , right? And the email account that sent me those photos isn’t listed as
one of my acquaintances either.”
It seemed like the person who knew Ryleigh’s email address was a total stranger.
But those who knew Ryleigh’s email address could only be her acquaintances, but that person actually
created a new account just not to raise suspicion.
At Blackgold…
Maisie walked to the administration department, and all the staff smiled and greeted her when they saw
her. “Mrs.
Goldmann.”
Maisie smiled at each and every one of them, walked to the door of the office, and knocked on the door.
