Chapter 1315
Titus had chosen to believe in Rowena over and over again back then only because he
wanted to give Rowena the opportunity to change for the better. In fact, it was not that
Titus did not doubt Rowena, it was just that his prejudice against Maisie and his
stubbornness made him turn a blind eye to the facts.
No one would deny that Titus had always been kind and benevolent to Rowena, but
what he did not know was that his kindness was also the force that drove Rowena
toward the sins that she committed.
Maisie leaned on his shoulder. “If she had a complete and happy family, perhaps...”
‘Perhaps she wouldn’t have grown into someone that extreme.’
“So, you’re a strong woman.” Nolan interrupted her with a smile and held her cheek in
his hand. “At least you’ve grown into a kind and considerate woman.”
She laughed. “At least my mother loved me very much.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough her father and mother had not gotten together because of love, her mother’s
love for her was sincere and genuine.
She thought of something and looked up at him. “By the way, you didn’t go to confront Tanner, did you?”
Nolan responded with a faint hum. “This matter has nothing to do with Tanner, but Cecile has approached him
because she wants to use him to harm you.”
Maisie pursed her lips. “It’s because of Pearl.”
‘The only thing that can be used to manipulate Tanner should be related to Pearl.’
He laughed. “You’re quite smart. That’s why I asked Tanner to stay put for now when it comes to this matter.”
“I’ve always been Cecile’s target.” Maisie stared straight at Nolan. “But she hasn’t come at me directly, not even
once. It seems that she’s been playing a game of cat and mouse with me.”
Nolan laughed out loud. “Are you planning to fight back?”
“Otherwise, everything that’s happened so far makes me seem so passive.” Maisie flattened the collar of his shirt
and approached him. “Don’t all good hunters usually appear as the prey at first?”
Nolan supported her neck gently with his palms, bowed his head, and kissed her on her forehead. “The premise is
that you’re not allowed to get hurt again.”
She buried herself into his shoulder and exclaimed, “ This was really an accident! ”
Nolan stroked the top of her head with a smile. “ That’s why you should be even more vigilant starting now, and
what do you plan to do next?”
Maisie raised her head. “Then I’ll need your help, Noles.”
Two days later, gossip about Tanner of Hannigans Inc. taking revenge on Maisie was spreading like wildfire within
Blackgold.
“I heard that Mr. Hannigan made a move on Mrs. Goldmann because of what happened to Ms. Santiago back then.
That’s so terrifying.”
“But didn’t Ms. Santiago and Mr. Hannigan terminate their engagement long ago? why
would Mr. Hannigan retaliate against Mrs. Goldmann for Ms. Santiago now? That’s so
strange.”
“Who knows? Mrs. Goldmann seems to have suffered a lot of grievances. The two
seemed to have quarreled when she came to see Mr. Goldmann this morning. To be

The discussion between the two female staff members in the pantry just happened to
be overheard by Cecile, who was passing by. Cecile stood at the door and peeped in
through the gap in the door, and the corners of her lips twitched coldly.
‘Nolan quarreled with Maisie? This was really out of my expectations. Aren’t the two of
them Bassburgh’s model couple? It’s so easy to create conflict between the two of
them... Heh, sure enough, all men change after marriage.
‘Maisie, oh Maisie, you’re really a pitiful woman.
‘And Rowena, allow me to help you out, I’ll make sure you get to see how the man you
loved so much falls into the abyss just like how your father did.’
At the administrative office...
Nolan kicked Quincy out of the office. All the staff of the administration department
witnessed the misery that Quincy was in and did not dare to even breathe.
‘Mr. Goldmann is in a really bad mood. Entering the office now is equivalent to
committing suicide.’
