Maisie nodded.
"Well, I expected this."
Barbara summoned the waiter and continued.
"She’s living in Mr.Hannigan’s apartment now, but I think he’s holding her captive."
She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after the waiter had gone away, she asked, "Aren't you curious about what she said when I told her that you wanted to see her?"
Maisie was holding a cup of coffee, and she was stunned for a moment.
After a short while, she took a sip from the coffee and asked, "What did she say?"
"She said she doesn’t want to see you."
Seeing the crack on Maisie’s face, Barbara giggled and added, "Alright, alright.I’ll stop messing with you."
Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Barbara.
Barbara leaned forward and said with a smile on her face, "It's true that she didn't say she doesn't want to see you, but she didn't say when either."
Maisie nodded.
"That means she doesn’t want to see me.It’s just that she doesn’t want to say it out explicitly."
Barbara lifted her eyebrows.
"So, why do you want to see her? Do you want to resolve the feud between you and her?"
"Feud? I’ve long gotten over it.We don’t have any feud anymore."
Maisie placed her hand on her forehead.She picked up the spoon and stirred her coffee.
"It’s just that I feel a little sad for her."
Barbara seemed to have seen through Maisie’s mind.
"You just can't bear seeing her in her current situation, right? Although it wasn't your fault in the first place, if she hadn't thought of setting you up, she wouldn't have ended up in that situation.
However, if she refused to change and continued to harm you, things would've developed differently, and you wouldn't want to help her today.
"You now feel that you went too far when you took revenge on her, but if you think from another angle, if you didn't do that, the one who would have lost her reputation wouldn't be her but you.If she hadn't gone so far when doing that thing, it wouldn't have backfired on her.People in this world are unpredictable.Someone would hate you for no reason, while other people would let go of their hatred after some time."
In the past, she hated Katrina even though she was her older sister.
However, she let go of her hatred in the end.
As for Pearl, she used to hate Maisie, but did she still hate her now? Maisie picked up her coffee and said, "It seems like you've become even wiser after marrying Helios."
Barbara chuckled.
"Well, I learned it from you."
At that moment, Maisie’s phone rang.It was Louis.
After Louis said something to her, she ended the call and picked up her purse.
"Ryleigh is giving birth today.Let's go to the hospital."
