Chapter 799
Maizie looked disdainful. “You might not even be able to get Helios to take a fancy to you even if you were the one to approach him. I don’t want to go for wool and come back with shorn, so Francisco is the best choice.”
“I’ve tasted defeat when it comes to Helios.
He won’t be captivated by women, is as humorless as a monk, and doesn’t know how to be romantic. That’s why I dare not put my hope on Helios. I’ll be left with nothing if I lose again this time around.
‘But I’ll still stand a chance if I go for Francisco. I’ve looked into Francisco’s background. Although he was a good-for-nothing playboy. he hasn’t gotten in touch with any of those women ever since he went to the training camp a few years earlier.
‘So I must minimize the risk by making Francisco my target. Anyway, he’s one of the young heirs of the Bouchers, so marrying him won’ t make much of a difference. I’ll still get what I want at the end of the day.’
Katrina opened the drawer abruptly and took her purse out of it. “I can help you out, but I do have a condition.”

Maizie was startled. “What is this?” Katrina sneered. “Something that will turn any man into beasts.”

Maisie was absent-minded while eating. She kept on fiddling with the mashed potatoes on her plate, but she had not eaten much, not

Nolan answered a phone call in the corridor and came back to the dining table. “We’ve looked into the accident.” Maisie returned to her senses and was dumbfounded. “You’ve looked into the accident?”
He stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek. “I can’t bear to see that you’re so bothered by someone else’s affairs.”
