Maisie chuckled, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, “Why not? It would be best if the Cliffords came
straight at me. Everyone in Bassburgh knows that you. Mr. Clifford, are a playboy. If the video of you
sleeping with a man gets out, it would only bring disgrace to the Cliffords. I’m not afraid of anything, so
do you think I’d be afraid of you and your family?”
“You’re breaking the law!”
The smile disappeared from her face as she said gloomily, “We can talk about that later. All of you, take
off his clothes.”
The four bodyguards were reluctant to do it, but they had no other choice. Just when they went closer to
Jackie, he shouted, ” Wait!”
His forehead was filled with cold sweat as he breathed heavily. “Don’t you want to talk to me, Maisie? So
what is the thing that you want to talk about?” Maisie waved her hand and asked them to step down. She
leaned closer and cupped his chin with her hand. “You were the one who asked Zeta to drive the car.”
“Yes,” he replied before adding, “But I don’t really know what they’re doing in that car, and I don’t get
involved in what they’re doing.” “How well do you know about the Knowles?” Maisie looked at him and
asked again, stunning him. It took him a while before replying, “What is your relationship to the
Knowles?”
Maisie smiled coldly and said, “It’s none of your business. Since you guys dare to do that to my daughter,
I’ll make sure none of you can
get out of Bassburgh alive.”
Jackie sucked in air through his teeth. He had been too careless and had underestimated Maisie. He had
been under the impression that Maisie, even though she was his former classmate, was just a woman
who was willing to be at his mercy for the sake of her children.
She indeed was different from those women that approached him. Her main objective in seducing him
with her beauty was to threaten him as well as to knock him out. She had come prepared for what she
was going to do.
He did not expect that the once innocent and frail high school classmate would turn out to be such a
dangerous woman.
That being said, he still felt that she was a little too inexperienced. He calmed himself down and
chuckled, “I don’t know much about the Knowles. Even if the Cliffords meddle with their affairs, it doesn’t
mean I do.”
When Maisie did not say anything, he grinned again and continued. “But I suggest you let go of me first.
My men are all in the room next door. They will be suspicious when they see that I haven’t come out for
so long, and you don’t want to get thrown into jail, right?”
Maisie was stunned for a few moments before she laughed. She rose to her feet and crossed her arms
in front of her chest.” How many people are there in the room next door?” The smile on Jackie’s face
froze, and the doorbell rang again before he could say anything. When Jackie was about to shout, a
bodyguard pulled a gun out and pointed it at his head, stunning him once again. The bodyguard
then cocked the gun, and Jackie’s face turned ashen pale.
Maisie tilted her head and lifted her eyebrows at her.,
His phone rang, and the bodyguard took it. He gestured to him to answer the phone, and Maisie, who
was playing with her finger, said, “I suggest you talk carefully. After all, bullets don’t have eyes.”
The bodyguard put the phone next to Jackie. The man on the other side of the line asked, “Are you not
up yet, Mr. Clifford?” Jackie glared at Maisie and replied, “Not yet.”. That man asked again, “Is there
anything wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m tired. I’m hanging up.”
The bodyguard then hung up the call. Standing at the end of the bed, Maisie looked at him and
shrugged. “Can we talk now. Mr. Clifford?” Jackie stared at the ceiling and replied. ” What do you want to
know?” Maisie walked to the side, sat on the chair, and picked up the wine glass. “The relationship
between Madam Knowles and your family.”
Jackie gnashed his teeth and answered,’ I’m not very clear about it. All I know is that Madam Knowles
and my grandfather have known each other for a long time.
Madam Knowles wanted to get revenge on the Knowles, and my grandfather helped her from the dark.
However, aside from my grandfather, neither my father nor I were allowed to participate.”
