Ryleigh was a little surprised when she heard that Joe had stopped practicing medicine and had become
an English teacher. “He actually changed his career path?”
Maisie fidgeted the pen in her hand. “I only found out about it recently.”
Ryleigh leaned on the back of the couch,” It’s been a long time since I last contacted Joe. Why don’t we
fix a date and time for the three of us to get together someday?”
Maisie looked at her. “Then we’ll still have to resolve your issue first. Didn’t you mention that Louis has
found new evidence?”
Speaking of this, Ryleigh picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms. “Yeah, he’s found something.
Maisie propped her hand against her chin and let off a faint smile. “Then you have to show him your
appreciation. He’s out there running around and investigating the little things just for you, so to be
honest, I won’t believe anyone that says that he doesn’t have feelings for you.”
Ryleigh’s expression looked weird. “Does he have feelings for me? Is that a joke?”
Why would Louis take a fancy to me? He’s at most helping me out as my fiance.!
Maisie smiled and said nothing.
“Ryleigh has never had a boyfriend, so she’s indeed a slow one when it comes to
romantic relationships. Otherwise, she and Joe would’ve ended up together long ago.
‘Joe had a thing for her back in high school, and even I, an outsider, was aware of his feelings for her.
However, Ryleigh had always regarded him as her male bestie and didn’t realize any of that.
Ryleigh stared at her cell phone screen and saw something pop up. “Holy sh*t! The group has released a
huge bombshell.”
“And what’s that?”
“The daughter of the Hannigans has completely ended all possibilities that she would have continued to
enjoy here in Bassburgh this time around. She’s been completely banned in the whole of Bassburgh and
most probably won’t be able to continue to stay in the city. Sure enough, things won’t end well for any
woman who’s gotten their eyes fixed on your husband.”
The corners of Maisie’s lips twitched slightly.
‘The statement sounds about right. We had run into Willow and Rowena before this, and now we’ve
found ourselves dealing with Maizie, another young lady who’s too full of herself. And indeed, nothing
has ever ended well for any of them.
‘The fact that Maizie is banned has always been within my expectations. She’s gotten to where she is
today only because of her own doing
‘She’s a very ambitious woman, but she doesn’t have the brain to back up her balls. Even though she
didn’t do anything to Nolan, she tried to drag Xyla down from where she is by trying to ruin her
reputation. It’s only natural for Xyla to retaliate against her.
Maisie went to the hospital to visit Kennedy later that afternoon. She was pushing the door open to get
into the ward when she saw Samantha in the room in addition to Kennedy.
Samantha sat in the chair next to the bed, and the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end
when Maisie appeared at the door all of a sudden.
Kennedy was stunned for a split second and then welcomed her with a smile. “Zee, why are you here?”
Maisie walked up to the bedside. “I happened to be free. I was worried that you’d be bored in the
hospital, so I came to spend some time with you, but I really didn’t expect to see Aunty Samantha here.”
Even though Samantha had left the Bouchers, she was still as elegant and gentle as she used to be.
She stood up slowly and explained, “Mr. Fannon’s injury is almost fully healed, and he’ll be discharged
from the hospital tomorrow, so
I came to visit him for one last time today.”
Maisie looked at Kennedy and gave off a pregnant smirk. “Uncle Kennedy, Aunty Samantha is your life
savior. So it shouldn’t be a problem for you to invite her out for a meal after you get discharged from the
hospital, right?”
Kennedy nodded, agreeing with Maisie’s statement, while Samantha let off a helpless chuckle. “You
don’t have to go through all that trouble just to treat me to a meal, do you?”
Maisie looked at her. “How is it troublesome? If it weren’t for you, Uncle Kennedy might not have
escaped the catastrophe from that night with only a flesh wound. Besides, Uncle Kennedy did just
mention that he needs an opportunity to show you his appreciation.”
After saying that, Maisie smiled at
Kennedy. “Am I right, Uncle Kennedy?”
Kennedy could see that Maisie had an ulterior motive when she was hinting at him to ask Samantha out
for a meal, but he did not refuse to do so as Samantha was his savior.
