Maisie smiled shyly but didn’t say anything.
Tristan chuckled, “Even if you didn’t introduce us, I would know that this is Mrs. Goldmann.”
He then turned to Maisie. “I just met Mr. Goldmann the day before yesterday at the golf course.”
Maisie paused before smiling. “Really? He didn’t mention it.” Madam Nera sighed. “Mr. Goldmann’s
mother Natasha was his sister. I just found out.”
Tristan chimed in, “She’s going to be upset that I didn’t tell her earlier. I’ve been in Yaramoor all these
years. Natasha was the one who didn’t mention it.
Madam Nera nodded.
Tristan looked at Maisie. “Let’s meet up again when Mr. Goldmann is available.”
Maisie’s eyes twitched, but she maintained her smile and said in a friendly tone, “Don’t worry, Mr.
Knowles. I’ll tell Nolan you asked.”
She picked up her teacup and looked down. Nolan had told her about his mother and the Knowles. His
mother hadn’t enjoyed her life growing up. His mother had never mentioned being related to the Knowles
of Yaramoor.
Obviously, Nolan’s mother had never wanted to mention it to have a clean break from the Knowles.
However, Tristan had met Nolan a few days ago. Upon thinking about what had happened at the theater
and the ‘affair’ Nolan had mentioned Tristan had with
Mrs. Boucher, she had no idea how to deal with them.
She was the one who had seen it ‘with her own eyes’.
Madam Nera and Tristan talked about business while Maisie listened quietly, not interrupting during the
entire conversation.
She put the teacup to her lip and was going to take a drink when Madam Nera asked Tristan, “Is the
preparation for your development project with Eastwood Enterprise going well?”
Tristan nodded. “It’s good, thanks to Mr. Topaz. I’m unfamiliar with this place, so I wouldn’t know where to
find good investors without him, but…”
He put down his teacup. “There was a Mr.
Boucher among the investors. I was quite surprised.”
Maisie looked at him. He mentioned the Bouchers but didn’t seem to be avoidant but instead was pretty
open about it.
Madam Nera was surprised. “Helios Boucher?” She thought for a moment and said, “I heard that Helios
seemed to be switching to business. I was quite surprised too.”
She remembered something and turned to look at Maisie. “Zee, you’re quite close to Helios. Did he tell
you anything about this?”
Maisie smiled as she shook her head. “No, he wouldn’t tell me about this. He would probably talk to
Nolan instead.”
Helios investing in a project with Tristan and Eastwood Enterprise was probably because of Nolan’s
connections.
They probably never would have thought that Tristan would be the one who was working with Anthony
on the development.
Madam Nera smiled. “That’s true. Their relationship was trending.”
Maisie tilted her head slightly and slowly drank the tea but froze because she saw someone. Christina
Hill and Yael Boucher walked out of a room, followed by two or three people who looked about their age.
They were in either business or politics.
When they walked past the lounge, Yael saw Tristan first, then Madam Nera greeted him, “Mr. Boucher,
what a coincidence.”
Yael nodded to Madam Nera. “It is.”
He looked at Maisie before speaking to Tristan, “Mr. Knowles is here too.” “Yes, it’s been a while.” Tristan
stood up and extended his hand toward Yael, who shook it.
