Three years later…
In Bassburgh, on a dark night…
Louis stepped into the bar, looked around at the crowd, and finally fixed his eyes on the woman who was
sitting at the bar.
He immediately recognized that it was Ryleigh.
He walked over to Ryleigh and took the wine glass off her hand. Ryleigh seemed to be drunk at that
time. She turned around to look at him and saw multiple images. “Why is it you? You can drink whatever
you want, so why grab my wine glass?”
Ryleigh struggled to stretch out her hand to grab the glass back in a straight line, and Louis grabbed her
wrist. “Maisie is no longer here, and you’ve been living the past three years so unrestrainedly, spending
all day, everyday drinking, haven’t you?”
As soon as Maisie was mentioned, Ryleigh looked away immediately. “Why did you come to me?”
Louis placed the wine glass on the table and looked at her. “Have you been in contact with Maisie in the
past three years?”
Maisie had gone missing after the accident three years ago. The Lucas family and the de Armas had
been going crazy since then, but Maisie seemed to
have disappeared from this world.
And Ryleigh was Maisie’s best friend, so they must have contacted each other throughout this period.
Ryleigh scoffed. “Did Nolan ask you to come to me for the answer to that question?”
She then looked at Louis and pointed at him drunkenly. “Do you still remember how he treated Zee back
then? Have you b*stards all gone blind!?
“Let me tell you, I haven’t contacted her, and she hasn’t contacted me either. You can locate her yourself
if you have the ability to do so!”
She flung her arm to break free from Louis’s grasp, staggered 10 get up, and left the scene,
Louis dragged her back, but Ryleigh couldn’t stand still and fell into his arms. She was caught off guard,
raised her hand, and pushed him away. “What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to take
advantage of me?”
Louis laughed out of rage. “I’m taking advantage of you?”
“Then what are you trying to do?” Ryleigh questioned him after letting off a burp.
“Did Nolan ask someone else to approach you and ask you the same question?” Louis was obviously
surprised.
‘Nolan has hardly appeared in front of the media in the past three years. It’s rumored that Nolan has
been seriously ill. In short, all kinds of rumors have been going around the circle. As for the Blackgold, he
doesn’t even care to ask about its operation. It’s as if he’s gotten off the grid as long as Maisie did!
Ryleigh flung his hand off of her again. “So what? 1.”
She held onto Louis and threw up on him directly.
Louis’s complexion paled in an instant as he gave off a disgusted expression.
At the Goldmann mansion…
In the dimly lit study, the man sitting in the wheelchair facing the French window was in a well-ironed suit.
His eyes dimmed from the change in the brightness of the sky outside the window, and they became
extremely gloomy at the end.
Quincy came in from the door and stood beside him.” Sir, Louis has also gone to Ms. Hill.”
“Yeah,” Nolan replied calmly without even lifting his eyelids.
Quincy looked at him. “Sir, you actually found out about her whereabouts long ago. Why would you
deliberately ask them to get in touch with Ms. Hill for the answer?”
‘Ms. Maisie Vanderbilt, a woman who has disappeared for three years.
‘Over the past three years, Mr. Goldmann’s condition has been fluctuating, even walking for a longer
period will cause him to cough up blood, so he has to turn to a wheelchair for assistance. Mr. Goldmann
Sr. and I have been taking care of Blackgold for the past three years. And although Kennedy is still there,
taking care of Soul Jewelry, it still came back under Blackgold as a subunit.
“And because of the incident from three years ago, Hernandez has since then gone into a conflict with
the Kents. And with the pressure that the de Armas have been imposing onto the Kents, Daniel Kent
hasn’t even been able to find the time to deal with the Goldmanns in the past three years.
“Mr. Goldmann also deliberately released the news to those people, telling them that he’s been seriously
ill and that he only has one year left to live. And during this year, he’s only worked from behind the
scenes, and everything on the surface has been handed over to Hans and me
