Chapter 1654
Donald wanted to ‘help’ the Reeses now that they had lost their power so that he could get the woman he wanted.
He knew that old man Reese would rather be poor than be connected with the Matthews.
Unfortunately, Lara was disfigured. Edison remembered something. “By the way, Ken went to visit her at the
hospital today.” Nollace’s finger paused and looked up. “Ken would have distanced himself from the Reeses after

Daisie waited for Freyja after class downstairs. Freyja walked to the door and saw her standing at the button of the
stairs, waving at her. Daisie walked along with her. “Freyja, did something happen to you?” She stopped walking and
looked down in silence. Daisie looked at her. “Freyja?” “Daisie Vanderbilt, we should keep our distance. You no
longer stay at the dormitory, so we’re no longer roommates, and especially not friends.” Freyja walked past her and
left. Daisie paused while she watched her leave. Colton saw this from afar and frowned. He walked toward Daisie
and stopped behind her, “I’ve warned you. Do you see it now?” Daisie snapped back, looked up at Colton, and then

stopped before it became like Lisa’s case. Daisie looked up and parted her lips. “Colton, she’s different from Lisa.”

have you?) After a few minutes, Nollace replied.
N: (Not yet.) D: (Why?) N: (I was thinking about you.)
Daisie blushed and threw her towel down. ‘Why is he teasing me?’
Maybe because she took a while to reply, he called.
Daisie answered it in her flustered state.
Nollace couldn’t help but chuckle. “You picked up really quickly.” She choked. “I… I didn’t mean to pick up.”
“Really?” He smiled. His voice was deep and sounded so nice. “You can hang up now.”
Daisie paused, then breathed through her nose. “I should hang up because you tell me to?” He smiled. “I know, you
don’t want to.”
