.”
Peter replied reverently, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Boucher.” After that, he turned to the two
injured strong men and ordered, “Take this b*tch to the boss of the Glitz Club. Ask him to teach her a
good lesson.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhivkov. Please, I won’t do it again! Please!” The two men grabbed Katrina up from the
floor and pulled her out of the room.
After that, Peter brought his men and left the private room.
Nolan and Quincy soon appeared outside of the room. His face darkened when he saw the mess in the
private room and the frightened Maisie, who was standing in front.
He marched toward Maisie in strides and grabbed her into his arms. Securing her tightly in his embrace,
he turned his head to look at Yael and said, “Thanks for your help, Uncle Boucher.”
Yael dismissed him by waving his hand and said, Don’t mention it. I hope you won’t forget the things you
promised me.”
Nolan came out of the Glitz Club with Maisie in his arms. The night wind was strong. He took off his
jacket and draped it on Maisie’s shoulder. Then, he ordered Quincy to get the car.
Nestling in his arms, Maisie clutched at his lapel and said, “Nolan…” Nolan wrapped his arms even
tighter around Maisie, lowered his head to kiss the top of her head, and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have
left you alone in the private room. It’s all my fault.”
She shook her head and then rested her head on his warm chest. “I’m fine. They didn’t manage to hurt
me. Honestly, we didn’t expect things would turn out this way either. Barbara just received news that her
father is retiring in another week, and Peter wanted to take advantage of it.”
Nolan rested his chin on her shaggy hair. The wind blew across her hair, causing it to coil around his
arm.
“Did you go to see Mr. Boucher just now?”
“Yeah,” Nolan replied plainly.
Maisie lifted her head to look at him and pressed on. “Did you promise Mr. Boucher something?”
Nolan had asked for help from Yael because he couldn’t reveal his identity yet. Besides, Yael was
someone from the higher-ups, and Peter happened to have a relationship with one of them. Therefore,
Yael was the perfect person to step forward and settle the situation. After this incident, she was confident
that Peter wouldn’t dare to cause them any trouble anymore.
It was just that Maisie wondered what Nolan had promised Yael.
Nolan lowered his head to look at her. He stroked his cheek with his warm hand and said, “Luckily, I
didn’t let you come alone.’ Luckily, he had decided to come with her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare
imagine what would have happened to her.
Maisie kept her head low and did not say anything in return.
Quincy stopped the car at a distance not far away from them. After they got into the car, he looked at the
back through the rear mirror and said, “Mr. Goldmann, those injured bodyguards have been rushed to
the hospital. They were ambushed. Honestly, I had no idea that Peter would have the guts to send his
people to do something like. Fortunately, Mr. Boucher was at Glitz.”
Nolan did not say anything in return, his face expressionless. He just secured Maisie in his arms. The car
was dimly lit, and his face that sunk in the shadow was gloomy.
Even if Mr. Boucher had been at Glitz, he would not care who was behind Peter anymore and get rid of
him for trying to harm his woman
After returning to the Blue Bay villa, Nolan carried her upstairs in his arms. He put her on the bed, and
just when he was about to leave, Maisie coiled her arms around his waist.
“Nolan, there is something I want to tell you.”
They did not switch on the light. The room was ill-lit, and the darkness covered Nolan’s handsome face.
He sat beside her and picked her up so that she could sit on his lap in front of him.
A ray of moonlight sprinkled on his face through the window, and his outline became clear in Maisie’s
vision.
“What’s it?”
Maisie put her arms on his shoulders. She hesitated for a while before saying, “When I was at the opera
with Madam Nera in the Golden Garden Theater, we bumped into Helios’ mother.”
Nolan was taken aback, but he just looked at her calmly.
Maisie did not dare to tell anyone about it, not even Helios or Ryleigh. However, if it was Nolan…
