Soon, a staff member from the front desk brought him a spare laptop. After Nolan sent him out, he
opened up the laptop and searched for the same thing on Google. As he expected, he was able to get a
lot more information from other laptops!
He clicked into one of the search results with the title” is Mr. Goldmann’s wife dead?” and sucked in a
sharp breath. He looked at the word “accident,” and he did not know if he should click into it or not.
When Quincy passed by the front desk, a receptionist told him that Nolan had asked for a laptop from
them. The staff member seemed puzzled as he asked, “Isn’t there a computer in Mr. Goldmann’s office?”
Quincy suddenly remembered something and rushed back to Nolan’s office. He pushed the door open.
“Mr. Goldmann!”
However, there was no one in the office, and the laptop on the desk remained open.
Quincy walked up to the laptop, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed to him that Nolan had not given
up on investigating everything that had happened in the past, and he was suspicious of everything that
they told him. Sitting in the car, Nolan held a lighter and lit up a cigarette. He did not know when he
picked up the
habit, but he knew he had been doing it for a long time.
The smoke had blurred his vision. He lowered the window again and fell deep in thought.
He had indeed forgotten something. The accident three years ago was real. The media speculated that
his wife, Maisie, had died in that accident, and even their divorce was known to the media.
However, he had forgotten about it. He was certain that Maisie had not told him everything for his own
good. She did not want to make their relationship public because she did not want other people to bother
him, but what could he do for her?
Barbara came to the hospital to visit Maisie and Ryleigh. She chuckled when she saw they were not
seriously injured yet still refused to leave the hospital. “What is going on with you two?”
While Ryleigh was munching on an apple, she replied, “Nothing happened. Just got a little bit unlucky. A
drunk driver hit us just after leaving the hospital, but both of us just sustained some minor injuries. It’s not
a big deal.”
Barbara squinted her eyes and replied, “Well, that’s truly unlucky.”
Maisie folded the newspaper in her hand and replied,” I want to be discharged from the hospital.”
Ryleigh looked at her and asked, “Has Mr. Goldmann approved that?”
“How long do I have to stay in the hospital with this scrape on my forehead?” Maisie got up from the bed
and said, “Ryleigh, you go get both of us discharged from the hospital. Don’t worry, I’ll handle Nolan.”
“Alright, then,” Ryleigh replied. She put the apple down and walked out of the ward. After Ryleigh left,
Maisie turned to look at Barbara and asked, “You’re the one who exposed the scandal about the
Bouchers, right?”
Barbara lifted her brows. “How did you know about it?”
Maisie chuckled. “Katrina has always wanted to become Eugene’s wife. Although exposing their
relationship might affect the Bouchers’ reputation, it’s possible the Bouchers will think it’s Katrine’s doing
because she couldn’t wait any longer to become one of the Bouchers. This way, the Bouchers would
definitely not allow Eugene to marry her.
“You invited Ryleigh and me to the gem-hunting event because you knew Katrine and Eugene would
show up there. You informed Christina, and she would certainly confront Eugene because of the
Bouchers’ reputation. This way, Eugene would only be suspecting his sister-in-law when the scandal
between him and Katrine got exposed.”
Maisie could find a reason for everything but one.
Barbara could have done this all by herself, but why must she include Ryleigh and her?
Ryleigh had told her that Helios introduced Barbara to her three years ago. Barbara shouldn’t have had
any interaction with the Bouchers before. She had only approached the Bouchers because she knew
that Katrine had hooked up with Eugene. Barbara hated Katrine to the core. She had endured the
humiliation of studying abroad for so many years, and now that she had returned, she would naturally
implement her revenge plan.
