Chapter 383
When Nolan had told her that there was a plan, she thought he was going to expose Rowena in front of Titus. It
turned out that he had found one of his men and performed a show?
Quincy grinned and replied, “Ms. Vanderbilt, we didn’t stage this ourselves. Someone indeed ambushed Mr.
Goldmann and me while we were on our way back. It’s raining out there, and the road is slippery. Had it not been
for my superb driving skills, we would be the ones in the hospital right now. Those thugs weren’t seriously injured,
so we sent them to the police station. After that, Mr. Goldmann and I decided to go with the flow and find someone
to put up a show.”
“Seriously?” Maisie looked at Nolan. “But are they really Rowena’s men?”
‘Isn’t Rowena in love with Nolan? Why would she do that?
Looking at her, Nolan smiled and replied, “Those people in the police station have confessed everything. Someone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwanted them to put the blame on the de Arma family.”
Maisie recalled how Rowena had been so certain that the people from the de Amma family were behind the
incident. It only now occurred to her that Rowena wanted to transfer the blame to the de Arma family so that Titus
would not suspect her.
Quincy continued. “That’s right. One of the reasons Mr. Goldmann and I are doing this is that we want to remove
those people behind Ms. Summers. After tonight’s incident, Elder Master Goldmann will not trust her as much as he
did in the past, while Ms. Summers will suspect that her people have sold her out.”
Titus had a lot of trust in Rowena, and that was why she could act so blatantly. Besides, she had attended the
training camp before, so she always had a backup plan to keep herself out of sight.
Unfortunately, her anxiety had gotten the best of her. She had been too anxious to prove to Titus that everything
had nothing to do with her. If something had really happened to Nolan tonight, Titus would certainly have thought it
was the de Arma family’s doing.
The thing that happened tonight would give Rowena the wrong impression that her men had betrayed her. They
were certain that she would not give up just like that. Therefore, they only needed to wait for her to make a move
and take the bait. After Nolan finished giving his orders to Quincy, he brought Maisie back to Blue Bay villa. It was
very late by the time they got home.
Realizing that Nolan’s clothes were thoroughly wet, Maisie said with a pout, “Your clothes are wet. You should go to
take a bath first so that you won’t catch a cold.”
Just when she was about to leave with his blazer, Nolan pulled her back into his arm. He coiled his arm from the
back and rested his chin on her head. His voice was soft as he spoke. “Were you worried when you were coming to
the hospital?”
“Hah, yeah. You didn’t pick up my call, and when I called Quincy, they said you were in the hospital.” Maisie turned
around in his embrace and added expressionlessly, “It turns out that my worries were totally uncalled for.”
When Nolan realized that she was angry, he smiled and replied, “I left my phone in the car. Anyway, you don’t have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto worry about anything. I promise you that there will be no next time.”
However, Maisie did not reply.
“Are you mad?” Nolan carried her to the bed, supporting himself on the edge of the bed to encircle her in his arms.
He comforted her, “Zee, I’m sorry. I promise I won’t make you worry again next time, okay?”
Maisie just looked at him, but she did not say anything.
“You can hit me all you want if you’re angry.”
Nolan grabbed her hand and slapped himself in the face, the power it carried so strong that even her palm
trembled. She pulled her hand back and asked, “Are you a glutton for punishment?”
Nolan continued to comfort her, “So can you forgive me?”
Maisie was caught between laughter and tears. She said, “I’m going to get angry if you still don’t want to go take
your shower.”
Nolan then got up and replied, “Alright. I’ll go take my shower now.”
A few moments later, Nolan came out with a towel wrapped around him. He just casually ruffled his wet and
disheveled hair, and Maisie was mesmerized by the scene.
When he noticed that Maisie was looking at him admiringly, the corner of his lips curled up a little. He grabbed her
wrist, pulled her close to him, and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Do I look good?”
