“See?” Ryleigh crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Hah, he must be lying when he said he wouldn’t
see her again because of guilt.”
Maisie frowned. “When were these photos taken? “After the Winter Festival celebrations and before we
got our wedding certificate.” Ryleigh stood up. “Zee, he lied to me. He didn’t tell me any of these, and I
only found out about it after someone sent these photos to me.” Her eyes were red, and she seemed
disappointed. “It’s not like I won’t let them be together. I can quit. He doesn’t have to lie to me.”
Maisie stretched her arms forward, hugged her, and comforted her, “Don’t cry, Ryleigh. I’ll help you to
find out about this.”
After that, she wiped the tears off Ryleigh’s eyes and continued. “If my cousin really is a jerk, I won’t let
you two get married. Send these photos to me.”
Ryleigh nodded. Maisie ordered the receptionist to contact Xyla for her when Ryleigh left. Xyla agreed to
meet with her, and they met at a coffee shop. When Maisie arrived, Xyla and her assistant were sitting in
a private room.
Maisie showed the photos to her, and Xyla was stunned when she saw the first photo.
Maisie took her seat slowly and asked, “I just want to know what is going on. Ryleigh is my friend, so I
need to find out the truth for her. Of course, I’m not suspecting you either. I just want to know the truth.”
Xyla’s assistant took a glance at the photo and said, “Huh? Isn’t this”
Xyla lifted her hand to stop her assistant. She looked at the photo and smiled. “What are you going to do
if the truth is really like what you see in the photos, Mrs.
Goldmann?”
Maisie narrowed her eyes.
She was aware that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Everyone in Bassburgh
knew about the marriage between the Hills and the Lucases. If Louis really had been seeing Xyla behind
everyone’s back, the people who had taken these photos would have exposed him on social media
platforms. They wouldn’t have sent them to Ryleigh alone.
In other words, the target of whoever had taken these photos was Ryleigh.
As for why Louis had not explained to Ryleigh, she would confront Louis after finding out the truth about
the photos. “If things really like what we see in the photos and you and Louis have gone back to each
other, then, of course, I need to stop the wedding.”
Maisie picked up the coffee cup and traced her finger around the rim. “Although Louis is my cousin,
Ryleigh is my friend. I won’t allow my friend to get bullied by other people. Besides, lightning marriages
and quick divorces are pretty normal nowadays.”
Xyla chuckled and said, “Shouldn’t you be helping them to reconcile?”
Maisie took a sip from the coffee and said, It depends on the situation. If the truth is really like what we
see in the photos, not only will i not help them to reconcile with each other, but I’ll ask her to divorce him.
Even if she can’t get married in the future, I can take care of her. She’s my son and daughter’s
godmother, and my children will still take care of her in the future.”
Xyla looked at her without saying anything. After a short while, she lowered her head and laughed. “I’m
really jealous of Ryleigh for having such a good friend like you. I can also see why she’s so easily
manipulated and believes something like this.”
Maisie narrowed her eyes.
It was only then that Xyla’s assistant explained, “It’s not like what you see in the photo. Xyla and Mr.
Lucas weren’t the only two people there. I was there too. Not only that, but Mr. Nixon from the academy
and the crew from the film were there as well.”
According to the assistant, the rest of the people had been cropped out of the photo. The assistant then
added, “Besides, Xyla and Mr. Lucas kept their distance throughout the entire process. They didn’t even
interact with each other, and these photos are just misleading.”
Maisie was stunned. She put the coffee down and asked, “Crew from the film? Are you guys filming a
movie?”
Xyla smiled and replied, “It isn’t a movie. It’s more like a teaser for a documentary about music. The film
crew invited
Professor Nixon and Louis from the music academy to help me gain a better understanding of Western
and classical music.”
