Chapter 1622
Other people would pity her and think that the Knowles had abused her.
Most importantly, Tristan did not know anything about it.
Tristan had been busy with work and rarely came home. She was certain that Tristan would ask what was going on
when he saw her in her current situation.
Since everyone was here, she surmised that she should seize the chance and take the first move. After all, even if
Nollace was the one who led the Knowles, she was certain he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in front of
everyone and disgrace the Knowles. She just needed to let Tristan know that she had been mistreated the whole
time, and once she asked him to let her stay outside alone, she was certain that Tristan wouldn’t say no to her.
As long as she could leave Nollace’s side, even for just a while, she would be able to get everything she wanted.
She looked at Tristan and said carefully, “Godfather, I… I just wanted to make everyone else happy. Did I do
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething wrong?”
Tristan frowned. This banquet was to welcome his niece – in-law, so it was inappropriate for her to dress like this
since everyone knew she was his adopted daughter.
“Go get yourself changed.” Lisa did not do as Tristan said. Instead, she looked fearfully at Nollace.
Although Diana did not like Lisa, she was the one who had saved Tristan’s life. If what happened today got out,
other people might accuse them of being ingrates, and that would put the Knowles in a difficult position.
“Do as your godfather said. Go get yourself changed.”
She ordered the maid to bring her away, but Lisa pushed the maid away and knelt in front of Diana.
She raised her voice and shouted, “Ma’am, I know Nolly doesn’t like me, and I know my presence will only bring
disgrace to the Knowles, but I can move out of the Knowles mansion. I won’t be an eyesore to Nolly again.”
Even though she staged this herself, everyone knew what she was trying to say.
Nollace did not like her and treated her badly.
Diana froze. She had never asked what her son was doing, and since she had been sick the whole time, she rarely
came out of her bedroom. She did not know that Nollace had asked Lisa to work as a maid.
She looked at Nollace, who had a calm expression on his face, surprised as if she was waiting for him to explain to
her.
Nollace was calm, and there was not a single emotion in the depths of his eyes.
Honestly, he did not expect Lisa would pull something like this on him. In order to regain her freedom, she was
willing to go to the extent of fabricating a lie to make him look like he was the bad guy.
He lowered his eyes and walked toward Diana with a smile on his face. Then, he said honestly, “Mom, I’m the one
who asked her to do all the maids’ work.”
Diana was bewildered. “Nolly, you…”
She couldn’t see through her own son despite being well aware that her son did not like Lisa at all. Nollace nodded

to worry about this matter. I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation later.” After that, he walked toward Tristan, “Uncle
Tristan, I’m sorry. I should’ve told you about it earlier. If you want to punish me, I’ll accept it wholeheartedly.” Tristan
took a deep breath and put the glass of wine down. “Like you said, today’s banquet is about your mother. Let’s talk
about this the other time.”
He turned to Lisa and said, “Go get yourself changed
first.”
Lisa also knew that now was the right moment for her to back down. It wouldn’t do her any good if she continued to
make a scene here. After all, everyone was on her side right now.
She nodded and went upstairs to get herself changed.
Tristan and Rick continued to entertain the guests. The guests did not have any reason to interfere with the
Knowles’ family affair, so they put the things that happened just now to the back of their heads.
No one saw the expression on Daisie’s face.
She did not care how Lisa’s life was in the Knowles mansion, but she did not like it when she called Nollace” Nolly.”
