Chapter 118
‘It’s a pity that she cannot escape the discord that she has sewed with Pearl.’
Inside the car…
Nolan drove the car back to the Goldmann mansion. Maisie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat,
kept looking out the window of the car.
‘This man hasn’t spoken a word. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?’
When he stopped the car at the red light intersection, Nolan turned to look at her, his eyes scorching.
Maisie felt it all. She turned her head and met his gaze. “Mr. Goldmann, may I know why you are looking
at me like that?”
He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do I need a reason to look at my woman?”
Maisie gave off a smirk. “Being your woman is quite a risky job. I don’t think you would say so if I were to
be the woman in the lounge tonight.”
Nolan’s eyes turned indifferent and gloomy.
‘What would I do if the woman in the lounge was really her? I’m afraid that I’d kill the men who touched
her.’

‘In order to escape from those people, she either has the abilities to do so, or someone was helping her. I
have to look into it carefully.’
#Pearl Santiago’s Affairs at the Party#
#Mr. Goldmann’s First Girlfriend to Go Public#
The next day, Pearl had managed to secure a spot on Google Trends, which had surpassed Nolan’s
public announcement about Maisie by a long shot, and it became the most explosive piece of news of
the year.
Subsequently, the host of the socialite party issued a notice announcing that Pearl would be permanently
banned from attending any future socialite party.
It was equivalent to removing Pearl from the list of socialites in Bassburgh.
Pearl could now be regarded as utterly discredited in Bassburgh. Although her father, Antonio, wanted to
defend his daughter’s reputation, he still chose to apologize on behalf of his daughter due to public
opinion and pressure.
Maisie sat in the office, reading the news expressionlessly.
‘If I hadn’t prepared myself in advance last night, then the person who would win the top spot on
Google Trends and would be ridiculed by the public at this very moment would be me.
‘Heh, since Willow wants to set me up, then how can I let her go and not drag her into the turmoil and let
her get a taste of her own medicine?
‘Pearl has now been ruined, and the person who she hates the most is probably Willow, the mastermind
who came up with the bad idea.’
Kennedy came in from outside the office with a grin. “Zee, there’s huge news.”
Maisie looked up. “What’s the news about?”
“Antonio seems to know that his daughter’s downfall is related to Willow. Now, it seems that he’s
deliberately suppressing Vaenna Jewelry. Vaenna’s stock market has dropped by 15% today.”
‘Vaenna has suffered at least $3,000,000 of loss overnight.’
Maisie supported her chin with only one hand.
‘Pearl wasn’t part of my plan originally. It was Willow who dragged her into the mud. Now, it
seems that they’ve saved me the trouble to even act.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKennedy looked at her. “Zee, since Mr. Goldmann announced his relationship with you this time around, I
think the Santiagos won’t have the guts to make a move on you. I only worry that Willow will put all the
blame onto you.”
He had managed to guess that what had happened last night was somewhat related to Willow, and Pearl
was just the unlucky pawn. Otherwise, all of this would have happened to Zee today
As for Willow, she probably would not admit that that was all her scheme.
Maisie slowly raised her head. “Uncle Kennedy, please help me make an appointment with Mrs.
Santiago.”
At the Santiago manor…
“Get out of here!” Pearl smashed everything in the room and prevented the servants from getting near
her.
Mrs. Santiago walked into the room and saw her daughter’s defeated look. How could she not feel sorry
for her?
She stepped forward and suggested, “Pearl, why are you doing this to yourself? Listen to me and eat
something first…”
“I don’t want to eat!” Pearl roared with bloodshot eyes, “I’ve become Bassburgh’s biggest joke. How
could I live on to meet any other people!?”
