Maisie didn’t say anything.
“Their Godfather Helios?’
These two rascals were really good at flattery.
Nolan walked to Mr. Cheshire, who nodded and said, “Mr. Goldmann, Elder Master Goldmann has been
waiting for you for a few hours in the study.”
“Alright.” Nolan nodded and said to him, “Bring the kids downstairs.”
Maisie slowly stood up and let the three go and play. Nolan held her hand and walked into the villa.
When the two walked into the study, Rowena was there along with Titus.
Titus sat behind the desk. Maisie’s eyes tumed cold without knowing why.
“Grandpa, Maisie has completed the assessment and passed. So about our wedding,”
“I stand firm on my rejection of your marriage!”
Nolan’s face was ice cold. “You’re back-paddling?”
“Yes, I’m back-paddling. You cannot be with this woman!” Titus’ attitude toward Maisie changed
drastically. He was even firmer than he was before she went to the camp.
Maisie didn’t know why he would reject her so strongly. She had completed her mission. Even if she
didn’t get the extra ten points, she still passed!
Maisie pressed her lips together and slowly said, “Elder Master Goldmann, I don’t understand why you’re
taking it back.”
She didn’t have to marry Nolan immediately, but since this was an agreement, it should have been
honored. She had done her part, spent half a month in the training camp, and put herself in danger to get
the results for her assessment, but the old man was back paddling?
Titus slammed the table. “Because your mother is a de Arma, the daughter of Hernandez!”
The de Armas….
Nolan’s expression got even colder. How had his grandfather suddenly found out about that?
Maisie was troubled. What did this have to do with her mother and the de Armas?
Nolan stood in front of Maisie to protect her. “Maisie’s mother was a de Arma, but she’s a Vanderbilt. Dad
and I knew about this.”
Rowena’s eyes changed. Nolan and his father knew? So they had been helping her hide this the entire
time!
Titus stood up, pointed at him, and yelled, “Great, you both knew all along and tried to hide it from me!”
“Grandpa, if you have a prejudice against the de Armas because of my great-grandfather, you should
talk to Hernandez about it. Maisie has nothing to do with the de Armas.”
“You useless boy, how dare you defy me! You knew that the de Armas and us Goldmanns are enemies.
Have you forgotten how your great-grandfather was almost killed because of the de Armas?” Titus was
stubbom.
Maisie was surprised. “The de Armas did that?’
Nolan squared his jaw and looked grave. “All of that was in the past, from your generation, and has
nothing to do with me.”
Seeing how stubborn Nolan was, Titus suddenly picked up an ashtray and threw it in his direction.
Rowena covered her mouth. “Nol—”
The ashtray hit Nolan’s face and broke into pieces when it hit the floor. His face turned red, and it started
bruising.
“Nolan!”
Maisie’s heart skipped a beat while her eyes darkened upon seeing Titus hurt Nolan. She held her fist
tight. “Elder Master Goldmann, Noles is right. Even if there was something between the de Armas and
the Goldmanns, it was from a different generation and has nothing to do with us!”
