Louis narrowed his eyes.
‘This old man witnessed that scene and saw Naomi’s face but did not see the perpetrator’s appearance.
So he didn’t know anything when Ryleigh was being framed as the perpetrator.’
Louis then asked the bodyguard to escort the old man out and stood in front of Anthony. “Mr. Topaz,
Ryleigh isn’t the culprit who harmed your daughter. She lost all her achievements in the music field that
she took pride in because of your daughter. As for the real culprit behind your daughter’s incident, I’ll
locate them for you. All I ask is that you give Ryleigh a chance.”
Anthony made a remark about Ryleigh and
Naomi’s incident on Twitter two days later.
#Ryleigh Hill is not the perpetrator of the accident that took place at the University of Northway 10 years
ago.
Anthony was the father of the victim, Naomi Topaz. That was why many netizens were surprised when
the statement was posted.
#Miss Hill actually carried the blame for 10 full years. That’s so sad #
#I’ve heard about the incident that took place at the University of Northway. I thought it was a rumor back
then #
#Nobody has clarified throughout the decade, so why would it be clarified all of a sudden?#
The netizens stirred up public opinion, and most of them sympathized with Ryleigh. It was very
unfortunate that she had had to take the blame and be misunderstood for 1 0 whole years. She had even
been forced into quitting her studies back then.
At the Goldmann mansion…
Maisie looked at those messages in the group chat that tagged Ryleigh-most of them were only sent to
the group to gossip.
However, Ryleigh ignored all of them this time around, as playing dead was the wisest thing that she
could do at this moment.
It was all old news, so it was time to move on now that Ryleigh had been proven innocent.
Maise leaned on Nolan, who was drinking coffee and flipping through the finance magazine in his hand.
Nolan turned his head to look at the person sitting next to him. “Are you happy now that your best friend
has been proven innocent?”
Maisie chuckled. “Yeah.”
Nolan placed the cup on the table and wrapped his arms around her. “I’ll be on leave the day after
tomorrow.”
She stopped what she was doing for a split second, got up, and looked at him. “The day after tomorrow?”
Nolan raised his eyebrows. “I saw the weather forecast. The temperature will start to get cold the day
after tomorrow, making it suitable for a trip to the hot springs.”
“But Uncle Kennedy hasn’t recovered yet. If I were to leave the company behind just like this…” Maisie
felt sorry for her company’s employees.
Nolan took her into his arms and rested his chin on her head. “It’s not advisable for your company to only
have you and Kennedy as its only two top executives.”
Maisie teased, “Then will you recruit more talented people for my company?”
Nolan looked at her, pressed his lips against her forehead, and asked half-jokingly, “Then do you think
I’m qualified enough for your company?”
Maisie chuckled. “Which position do you plan to recommend yourself for?”
Nolan kissed her. “I don’t mind becoming the toy boy you keep in your company.”
She burst into laughter. “You’re no longer qualified to become my toy boy. You can at most apply to
become my toy geezer.”
Nolan pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her neck. “It’s no big deal. I might be mature
mentally, but I have a teenager’s physique. I’ll still be able to satisfy you even when you’re in your 30s or
40s.”
A phone’s ringtone interrupted the two of them, and Nolan’s expression dimmed, looking obviously
dissatisfied.
Maisie cleared her throat out of awkwardness, pushed his chest that was pressing against hers gently.
picked up the phone, and took a
glance at its screen.
It was a call from Ryleigh.
She answered the call, and that was when Ryleigh’s voice sounded. “Zee, save me,”
Maisie’s complexion changed instantly. “Ryleigh!”
She heard something, but the call seemed to have been forcibly hung up before Ryleigh could finish
speaking.
Nolan frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Maisie got up in a hurry. “Ryleigh seems to have run into some trouble.”
She called back to the number, but the phone had been turned off.
Nolan stood up. “Don’t panic. Did she tell you where she is?”
“No, she did say something at the end of the call, but I couldn’t hear her clearly before the call ended.”
“How can I not be in a panic? Something must’ve happened to Ryleigh!’
