Chapter 589
“Yeah.” Maisie closed the newspaper and raised her head. “I’m heading to the company today, so I won’t stay here
with you.”
“Are you going to work too?”
“Otherwise, are you going to pay my bills?” She raised her eyebrows with a smirk, picked up a glass of milk on the
table, finished it in one go, and was about to get up
“Are you saying that I can’t afford to pay your bills for you?” Nolan looked at her aggressively.
“Am I so lousy that even my wife has to go out to work now?’
Maisie could not help laughing upon hearing this. She walked to his side and leaned over to look at him with her
arms propped against the dining table, pretending to be aggrieved. “I went out to work because you said you dislike
prodigal women. You also mentioned that you prefer smart and independent women.”
“D-Did I say that?” Nolan frowned and pondered over that statement for a moment but to no avail.
Maisie pressed her fingertips against his lips and said in an enchanting and seductive tone, “Hubby, I’m about to
depart for work already . so don’t miss me too much.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNolan’s Adam’s apple rolled, but Maisie had already pulled herself away and left the scene without waiting for him
to react at all.
He froze in place and was forced to suppress all his impulses.
‘Why do I feel that she has gotten addicted to teasing me?’
At Soul Jewelry…
Maisie walked up to the counter, and the receptionist at the front desk smiled at her. “Hello, miss, what kind of
jewelry are you looking to purchase?”
She removed her black-framed glasses and smiled. “Is Director Fannon in?” “You’re looking for Director Fannon?”
“Ms. Vanderbilt!?” Another female employee appeared out of nowhere and stared at Maisie in surprise. This female
employee happened to be an old employee of Soul Jewelry. “Is it really you? Weren’t you-”
Maisie smiled. “I’m back now. Where’s Uncle Kennedy?”
“Director Fannon is in the office. I’ll take you there!”
The female employee put away all the documents in her hand immediately, turned her head, and whispered to the
new employee, “Ms. Vanderbilt is the founder of Soul Jewelry and our boss. You should remember this from now
onward.”
She then brought Maisie toward the elevator.
The elevator ascended slowly, and she informed Maisie of all the operations that had taken place in Soul Jewelry
over the past three years. And that included the fact that Blackgold had acquired Soul Jewelry and had been
managing it under its enterprise after her accident three years ago.
“Blackgold acquired our company?” Maisie looked at her suspiciously.
She then explained. “That’s because many jewelry companies had been keeping an eye on Soul Jewelry ever since
news about your accident went public. Mr. Goldmann did not want the brand that you had just created to fall into
the hands of others, so he took the lead in acquiring Soul Jewelry and placing it under the Blackgold Group.”
Maisie did not say anything.
‘The accident happened unexpectedly back then, and I didn’t even have the chance to explain everything to Uncle
Kennedy before leaving Zlokova. The company’s affairs were something that I didn’t even want to manage at all
with the mental state that I was in at the time. Thinking about it now. I might have placed too many burdens onto
Uncle Kennedy’s shoulders. He is still managing the company on my behalf.’
The elevator door opened, and Maisie walked toward the office and knocked on the door.
She only pushed the door open and walked in after she obtained permission to do so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKennedy was sitting behind the desk with his head buried in the documents lying in front of him, writing something.
He was extremely focused until a familiar voice sounded. “Uncle Kennedy.”
Kennedy’s hand stopped moving for a moment. He then lifted his head to meet Maisie’s face in surprise and stood
up in shock. “Zee!?”
Ten minutes later…

Chapter 589
Kennedy and Maisie were sitting on the couch drinking tea. After her description and explanation, he suddenly
made sense of some of the events and incidents that had taken place back then.
Maisie raised her teacup and asked, “Uncle Kennedy, have there been any changes in the trend of the jewelry
industry in the past three years?”
Kennedy took a sip of tea and said, “There has been little next to no movement in the jewelry industry in the past
three years. Taylor Jewelry is still the pioneer in the jewelry industry. Although something happened to you back
then, Taylor Jewelry didn’t take the opportunity to withdraw the tanzanite supply collaboration that we have with
them.”
