Chapter 228
Maisie scanned the table discreetly, thinking, ‘Madam Vanderbilt was discharged, Yorick and Yanis came over to Bassburgh, and even Leila and Willow are back at the Vanderbilt mansion. It doesn’t seem like a simple dinner.’
The air was tense because everyone had their own motives in mind.
Yanis looked at Maisie and asked, “Zee, I heard you’ve started your own jewelry studio. How’s it doing?”
It sounded like she asked for a reason and not because she cared.
Madam Vanderbilt chimed in, “Of course she’s doing well. Mr. Goldmann is helping her. It wouldn’t be too bad. She can live a good life even if she does nothing.”
“Mr. Goldmann?” Yorick was surprised that his niece had caught a big one.
“Yes, Zee brought honor to the family, all thanks to that pretty face of hers,” Madam Vanderbilt said sarcastically. All Maisie knew was how to be flirty.
Sensing the sarcasm, Maisie beamed and curled her lips. “Yes, it’s all thanks to the face that my mother gave me.
“Neither Willow nor Linda were able to get his attention. It seems like you’re disappointed because they weren’t able to help with their faces?” 2
Willow wanted to lash out, but Leila held her back, hinting that she shouldn’t be impulsive.
Stephen was slowly starting to open up to them again. If he got angry, they would never get to return to the manor. 1
