Nolan crossed his fingers and put them to his lips as he solemnly said, “Help me get the best wedding
photographer in Bassburgh”
Quincy was stunned. “Wedding photographer?”
Nolan explained with a serious expression, “The walls at home need decoration.”
Quincy was quiet. He could have just said that he wanted to get some wedding pictures taken.
Maisie asked Saydie to take a detour to the Vanderbilt manor on their way to Soul Jewelry. There wasn’t
much change in the garden except the vegetation had dried off because no one had been taking care of
the garden
The door was tightly shut
Saydie parked the car, and Maisie pushed open the car door. She looked at the locked door and could
tell that no one lived there anymore.
Her eyes were solemn. She stood in front of the door for a long, long time, not wanting to leave.
The guard walked over to inform her, “I’m sorry, no one is allowed near this place.”
Maisie turned to look at him. “Why not?”
The guard sized her up and said, “The abandoned villa was repurchased, and the owner said that no one
is allowed to be near it.”
Maisie squinted. “Who’s the new owner?”
The guard patiently answered, “It was a wealthy lady who looked influential.”
“Do you know how I can get in touch with her?”
The guard scrutinized her again. “May I know who you are?”
Maisie smiled and showed him her ID. “This was the home of my father, Stephen Vanderbilt. I’m Maisie
Vanderbilt.”
The guard took a look at the ID and saw that the address on it matched. He then gave her the woman’s
contact information.
Maisie took a glance and thought that it looked familiar, so she went through her contact list and was
surprised that the person who had bought the mansion was her aunt, Larissa.
Maisie called her, and Larissa requested to meet her at a restaurant.
When Maisie got there, Larissa was already in a private room. She slowly picked up her teacup and took
a sip. “I bought the Vanderbilt manor for you. I intended to pass it to you, but it slipped my mind.”
Maisie was surprised. She walked to the table and sat
down. “Why did you buy it?”
Larissa put the teacup down. “After your father’s accident, Mr. Goldmann was put in charge of your
father’s funeral arrangements. Your father’s assets were supposed to go to his next of kin, but since you
went missing after the accident, the issue regarding the property rights was put aside.”
Someone brought over the agreement, and Larissa placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Maisie.
I didn’t know that after Mr. Goldmann was infected with the virus, he couldn’t take over the property
management. During that time, Stephen’s mother and brother wanted to take the manor for themselves.
Maisie’s eyes flashed with anger. She believed that Madam Vanderbilt would have learned her lesson
after Leila’s mess, but she didn’t expect the old
woman would want to take over her dead son’s assets.
They weren’t even in charge of his assets. Nolan was.
If Stephen knew, he would be extremely disappointed.
Maisie recalled something. “How did you know about the Vanderbilts’ affairs?”
Larissa smiled. “When Willow came to trick me with your mother’s bracelet, I looked into them. When I
found out about Willow’s con, dug into the Vanderbilts more.
It hadn’t been hard for her to look into them. She had merely lifted a finger to find out about their relations
“Thank you, Aunt Lanssa.’ Maisie picked up the agreement, but something felt off in her heart. After the
accident three years ago, Strix had taken her under his wing, so she hadn’t been able to settle a lot of
things by herself.
