Nolan stared at Quincy for a long time before his lips curled upward. He was unintentionally sarcastic." You've been by my side all these years, but you colluded with my grandfather to keep me in the dark.": Nolan knew that his grandfather was behind the announcement of their divorce. His grandfather had also gotten Quincy to force Maisie to sign the divorce papers. He knew that Quincy wouldn't have hidden this from him if not because of his grandfather's orders.

But how could he have stood on his grandfather's side and kept him in the dark about such an important issue?

"Mr. Goldmann, Elder Master Goldmann did that for your own good."

"For my own good?" Nolan scoffed and mocked himself, "I was the reason she lost our child. He did things for my own good, but now, I will be indebted to her and our child forever."

The child that was never born. He didn't know about the child all these years. How was he supposed to make it up to them and face the truth?

Nolan started coughing blood because he was too worked up.

Quincy's face turned pale. "Mr. Goldmann!"

Saydie was driving when she saw through the rearview mirror that Maisie's eyes were filled with sadness. "Are you alright, Ma'am?"

"I'm fine." She kept her eyes on the view outside with no expression on her face. Saydie didn't press her.

Maisie looked back, crossing her fingers. She couldn't forget the scene from three years ago.

She didn't have a reason to hate Nolan. She didn't really hate him, but that incident had caused her to lose her father, Cherie, and her child. She couldn't accept that.

Just as she had said, she didn't have a reason to hate him. Nolan had just wanted to force her to accept the divorce.

She loved Nolan and didn't want to let him go, but she resented his cruel decision and didn't want to forgive him for that.

When they reached the Easton Estate, Maisie got out of the car while the housekeeper walked quickly toward her. "Ma'am, the prince's people are waiting in the great hall."

Maisie squinted. The prince didn't seem to have given up on the issue about the territory. Since he had already sent someone over, she smiled and took the mask that Saydie handed to her. "I guess I have to meet them then."

Maisie and Saydie walked into the villa. A man in a suit from Stoslo sat on the couch in the hall, with two bodyguards in black standing behind him.

He stood up and smiled when he saw Maisie. "I'm guessing you are Ms. Henry? I'm the representative the Prince sent over, Shawn Pattinson."

Maisie nodded, walked to the couch across from him, and sat down. "Mr. Pattinson, please take a seat."

After Shawn sat down, the bodyguards brought over a silver briefcase and placed it on the table, opening it to expose stacks of mone Maisie frowned. "What is the meaning of this?"

Shawn smiled. "Ms. Henry, His Highness would like to purchase the territory that you are holding. If you think that that's not enough, yo may name your price." Maisie's eyelids twitched.

They were trying to take over the de Arma family's territory while her grandfather wasn't around, but the Metropolis had already taken it If they tried to snatch it back, it would attract attention, so they were trying to 'buy' it instead.

Maisie leaned back and looked apologetic. "Mr.

Pattinson, the money does look tempting, but I have enough of it." "Ms. Henry, the royals of Stoslo and Morwich have always been allies. Our prince does not wish to break the alliance. Furthermore, Metropolis interfering with Stoslo's affairs already violated the mutual benefits we share.".
