Rowena realized something, and there was a subtle change in her expression: “Maisie, don’t try to frame
me without evidence!”
“I’m not framing you.” Maisie beamed her face in a bright smile. “How did you come to the conclusion
that I’m framing you? Even if that man did it, he said he knew you, so I just asked.”
Maisie wanted to go in but pretended to think of something, then said, “By the way, do you remember
that the man had bumpy skin with acne scars?”
“That’s not possible”
Rowena suddenly gulped while her shoulder shuddered and her face tumed a little paler.
Maisie walked into the office, and Rowena rushed to hold her. “You best be clear=”
When Rowena saw Nolan sitting in the office, the uneasy feeling in her gut suddenly became clearer.
“Nolan 1–
“It seems like he really was working for you.”
His casual words turned Rowena’s face as white as a sheet. She realized that all that had been a trap
waiting for her to fall into. She knew that she had fallen into their trap when that old thing didn’t die.
How could she let them get her! Her hand that was holding her mobile phone had dialed a number.
-“Nolan, I’m really not involved.” Rowena anxiously walked up to him to explain. “I don’t know when I
offended Ms. Vanderbilt and
why she’s treating me this way, Nolan, I swear, I really didn’t-”
“Didn’t do this?”
Nolan cut her off while coldly looking at her. Rowena stopped speaking. The office tumed gloomy, and
she started to panic.
Rowena held her fists, and her eyes filled with tears. She bit her lip and said, “Nolan, why are you
treating me this way?” Nolan lazily sat on the chair, his amber eyes dark. “I’ve said it, you should know
what you’ve done.”
Rowena was stunned, and a crystal clear tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
Nolan calmly said, “Willow had admitted to it was ‘Lady Wolfsbane’ that she mentioned not Rowena
Summers?” He never believed her.
Rowena shuddered, and her nails dug into her palm. “Yes, I helped Willow. I let her out, but what does
that prove?

“I let Willow out, but she was the one who sought revenge against Maisie. How was that my fault? I admit
that I learned that Maisie was related to the de Armas from Willow, and I told Grandpa, but it was for
Grandpa’s good!”.
Nolan’s eyes were still cold and dark. “So you manipulated Grandpa’s trust and used him to see Stephen
and help Willow attack her so that you can pin this on him?”
“Nolan, I, no, I wasn’t using him. Willow did it. Willow hated Maisie. How could you pin what she did on
me? You can’t trust her!”
Nolan laughed dryly. “I’ve wasted all four of Willow’s limbs, and she will just be a handicapped person
now. She admitted to everything to stay alive. Do you think that I’d let her off if she lied?”
Rowena shuddered.
Nolan’s expression hardened. “You’ve been trying to use me from the day of The Jade Store’s auction,
and I’ve never trusted you since the time you came to me with a picture of Zee and Francisco.”
