Chapter 92
Maisie entered the manor and heard a joyous ambient noise coming from the living room.
Willow, who was sitting next to Madam Vanderbilt, looked a little startled when she saw Maisie. She
smiled and stood up. “Zee has come back?”
Madam Vanderbilt looked at Maisie and scrutinized her from head to toe. “I haven’t seen you for so many
years. You do resemble your mother Marina a little now.”
Leila and several servants brought food to the dining table and shouted, “Mother, dinner is ready”
Madam Vanderbilt got up slowly with Willow’s support and then said to Maisie when she walked by her,
“Stay, let’s have a meal as a family.”
‘A family?’ Maisie’s eyelashes twitched, and the corners of her lips were raised coldly.
Apart from the mother-and-daughter pair, she did not see her father at the dinner table.
Maisie looked at the empty chair after she sat down. “Why is Dad not here?”
‘He’s not hungry. Let’s eat first.” Madam Vanderbilt took the initiative to fetch Willow some side dishes.

Willow looked down and smiled. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Maisie squinted. “Grandma has never taken me so seriously ever before, let alone Willow.’
Seeing that Maisie did not even pick up her silverware, Madam Vanderbilt casually started the
conversation, “Maisie, I heard that you fell out with your family because of the shares of Vaenna
Jewelry?”
Maisie raised her eyebrows slightly and took a glance at Leila.
Leila lowered her head, pretending to know nothing.

She then smiled. “Grandma, why would I fall out with my family just because of Vaenna Jewelry? Did you
get it wrongly?”
“Oh really?” Madam Vanderbilt glanced at Leila but could not bother to show that she cared.” How nice to
hear that from you. Vaenna Jewelry belongs to the Vanderbilts. Women in the family shouldn’t intervene
with the shares, and they should leave the family business to the men.” 1
Maisie smiled and said nothing.
Everybody knew that Madam Vanderbilt was patriarchal. Maisie knew that Madam
Vanderbilt had not paid much attention to her father because he had no son. However, Madam Vanderbilt
had pampered her only grandson so much that she had spoiled and raised a useless brat out of him.
‘I bet the Vanderbilts’ hot spring resort isn’t doing very well, so Grandma has finally remembered that she
has another son living in Bassburgh and has her eyes fixed on Vaenna Jewelry
‘It seems that it’s because Vaenna Jewelry is gaining momentum recently.’
Maisie smiled and raised her gaze. “Grandma, Vaenna is Dad’s property. Shouldn’t Dad be the one who
decides the heir of the company?”
Although Leila did not like Maisie, what she just said hit her in the feels. It was just that she did not have
the guts to say it out loud.
Madam Vanderbilt snorted. “Your father is one of the Vanderbilts, so that makes the company the

effort mustn’t be overlooked.”
Madam Vanderbilt praised Willow, so the way she looked at Maisie became slightly triumphant.
“Yes, I heard that the jewelry designed by Vaenna’s new jewelry designer is very popular right now. Sigh,
it seems that the chances of me scoring a comeback are pretty slim now.” Maisie pretended to sigh.
“You should learn more from your elder sister, Willie. By the way, Willie…” Madam Vanderbilt turned to
look at Willow. “Didn’t you say that you have a good relationship with Mr. Goldmann? Then tell Mr.
Goldmann to come over here for a meal and introduce us to each other. Is that okay?”
These words changed Willow’s expression immediately. Even Leila’s expression looked a little
embarrassed.
“Grandma, Nolan… He’s very busy.” Willow bit her lip. *D*mn, wouldn’t I be handing this b*tch an
opportunity of a lifetime if I were to really ask Nolan to come over?’
Looking at her expression, Maisie lowered her gaze and smiled. “Yeah, you’re in such a close
relationship with Mr. Goldmann. Why don’t you ask him over for a meal? Didn’t he come when you asked
him to do so before this?”
