‘Madam Vanderbilt had always been keeping a close eye on it.’
Maisie’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I must attend this meal if those people from the Vanderbilts are really
planning to lay their hands on Vaenna.”
“Zee, do you want me to accompany you there? After all, who knows what they’ll do.” Kennedy was
worried about her attending this meal alone.
Maisie was caught up in her thoughts for a split second
‘Kennedy is right. They must have a purpose since they asked to meet me. I don’t know what they might
do. In any case, I must go prepared’ 1
Maisie stepped into a high-end restaurant. She had tied her long hair into a neat high ponytail, was
dressed in a black and white color-blocked dress with split ends, and had a pair of golden sequin
earrings.
She attracted a lot of attention from the guests around the area when she walked into the hotel.
Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the waitress standing at the reception stepped forward and
asked enthusiastically, “Miss, d, o you have a reservation for a private room or a carrel?”
“Private Room 203.”
“Okay, please follow me.” The waitress gave off a smile and brought her upstairs to the second floor.
Arriving at the door of Private Room 203, the waitress knocked on the door and opened the door for her.
In the room, apart from Madam Vanderbilt and Linda, there were two middle-aged women and a man
Maisie had never seen before.
Madam Vanderbilt smiled immediately when she saw Maisie entering the room. “You’re here, Zee. This is
your aunt. You should not have seen her in many years.”
She introduced the middle-aged woman in a gorgeous dress sitting next to her.
Yanis Warren was Madam Vanderbilt’s eldest daughter-in-law and Linda’s biological mother. She had
married Yorick Vanderbilt, the eldest son of the Vanderbilts, and had given birth to a son and a daughter
for the Vanderbilts. Madam Vanderbilt valued her highly because of the grandson that she had given birth
to.
“Oh, so this is Zee. She’s grown into such a beautiful woman, and she really resembles her mother.”
Yanis’ voice sounded very high pitched, and it was difficult to tell whether she was complimenting or
slighting Maisie. Everything just sounded awkward
Maisie walked to the table, sat down, and her red lips curled slightly. “Aunt Yanis, you actually thought
about asking me out for a meal as soon as you arrived at Bassburgh?”
“What are you talking about? No matter what, you’re my niece. We’re all from the Vanderbilts. We
haven’t seen each other for so many years, so it’s only natural for your aunt to miss you.”
“Oh, really? That’s really nice of you.” Maisie raised her eyebrows lightly.
I’ve never been in contact with any of Vanderbilts. Who would believe in her saying that she misses me?
Maisie then raised her head, exchanged a glance with the man sitting opposite her, and frowned. “And
this is?”
“This shouldn’t be that so-called cousin of mine, right?
Yanis smiled and introduced, “This is Mr. Zimmerman Sr.’s grandson who’s come from Coralia. You
should know his grandfather. Grandpa Zimmerman used to be very close with us Vanderbilts. And this is
Aunt Zimmerman.”
Mrs. Zimmerman took a glance at Maisie. Nobody could tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied by
her look.
She then curled her lips and said, “Is she the daughter Stephen gave birth to with Marina? She does look
rather pretty, but I wonder whether she’s a hardworking woman or not.”
“Hah, don’t all women become hardworking after they get married? Zee is also a highly-educated
person. So how would the Zimmermans find such a beautiful and intelligent daughter-in-law back in
Coralia?” Yanis explained.
Mrs. Zimmerman felt somewhat convinced after hearing this.
Seeing that her son was staring fixedly at Maisie, she also guessed what was on her son’s mind at that
moment.
Maisie finally understood what was going on after listening to their nonsensical conversation.
‘Heh, this turns out to be a blind date for me?’
Maisie’s eyes tumed a little indifferent. “I think Aunt Yanis must have misunderstood something. Isn’t this
a family dinner? Why has it become a blind date?”
Madam Vanderbilt spoke up on behalf of Yanis. “Zee, your aunt knows that you have reached the
appropriate age and haven’t gotten married yet. You should feel happy that she’s found you such a
prestigious family from Coralia.”
