Chapter 6
‘Apologize? He wants me to go back and apologize to Willow?’
Maisie scoffed and glared directly at him. “Over my dead body.”
Out of Nolan’s expectation, not only was this woman presumptuous and atrocious, but she was also very stubborn. His facial features stiffened. “If you don’t apologize, Zora’s name will disappear from the fashion and jewelry field tomorrow.”
He did not want to make it difficult for her at first, but Willow was considered his life savior. He would have been set up six years ago on that night if it weren’t for her.
Although he did not have any feelings for Willow, he had still been keeping her by his side these few years and had been satisfying her materialistic needs unconditionally.
Vaenna Jewelry had really been in a downturn these years, and that was why he would pay $150,000,000 to hire Zora on her behalf.
He knew that Willow was at fault for slapping her at first, so he was going to get Willow to apologize to her.
He did not care how they would resolve this issue in private, but he could not allow any other woman to make a move at Willow in front of him.
Maisie’s hand, which was being grasped, hurt as if it had been dislocated. Her eyes drooped, however, she would never shed a single drop of tear in front of her enemy despite her grievances! “I didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t apologize!”
Seeing that her attitude was still so rigid, Nolan snorted. “With the Goldmanns’ influence in the business circles, not only will your reputation go up in flame in Zlokova, but the people of Stoslo will also no longer hear of the name of Zora. Are you sure that you still want to do so?”
‘The Goldmanns…’
Maisie gnashed her teeth.
‘I’ve been wondering just how this man would have the ability to threaten me. It turns out that he’s from the Goldmanns!’
Maisie was not afraid of being banned or isolated in the field, but her children still needed to study in Bassburgh, and she had to regain her mother’s “Vaenna Jewelry”.
‘I should bear with such a petty setback for the sake of the bigger scheme. There’s no need for me to haggle over such a teeny-tiny humiliation with this man.’
“Let me go first.”
Nolan released his grasp and glanced at her. “You’d better think this through.”
“Isn’t it just an apology?” Maisie raised her brows, turned around, and walked out of the stairway.
She approached Willow when she returned to the office, and her bright red lips opened and closed in a split second. “I’m sorry.”
Willow did not expect Maisie would apologize, but she knew that Nolan must have acted for her.
She felt extremely complacent deep down but smiled politely on the surface. “It’s okay, as for the contract…”
Maisie took a glance at the man standing outside the door and signed the contract with a pen. However, no one saw the slight curvature on her mouth.
‘I’ve been forced to return to Vaenna Jewelry “without putting up any fight”, even though I’ve insisted that I don’t want to do so.
‘I’ll teach them a good lesson about what it means by “nurturing a snake in their bosom” from now onward.’
She then put down the pen and left immediately without creating any more stir after signing the contract.
