At the Private Middle and High School
Middle school students and high school students walked out after school. Most of the students in the
school were fetched to and back from school by their family‘s private vehicles. Seeing a luxury car
parking outside the school‘s gate had always been a common scene.
Lisa stood outside the school gate and waited for Daisie. She was wearing her clothes. Dalsie was
slightly late, so she took out her cell phone and took a selfie.
Several students then walked by her and looked back at her. Lisa put her phone away and lowered her
head in embarrassment immediately.
However, she heard the students talking about her clothes. “That blouse looks so beautiful. It must be
expensive.”
“There are so many rich people studying in this school. It‘s normal to run into someone that wears
designer clothes.”
Lisa knew they were talking about her clothes, but she pretended she did not hear them. Still, she felt
delighted deep down.
“Lili.” Daisie came out and placed her arm on Lisa‘s shoulder. “Why don‘t you go home in my car later?
I‘ll send you back home.”
Lisa was stunned for a moment, she wanted to agree to that idea originally, but she lowered her head
instantly when she saw Leah and the others looking at the both of them. “That‘s fine. I‘ll just grab a cab
and go back by myself. There‘s no need to trouble you even more.”
Daisie did not see Leah and only thought that Lisa did not want her to send her home. “Okay, then be
careful when you‘re on your way home.”
Lisa nodded.
The car that came to pick up Daisie stopped not far away. Seeing that Colton was already waiting for her
in front of the car, she waved at Lisa to bid her goodbye and ran straight toward Colton.
The two got into the car and left.
Seeing that Leah and the others had not left, Lisa did not dare to stay back at school alone any longer,
so she quickly left.
However, she did not know that two men were staring at her from the inside of a van when she walked
past the van.
One of the men picked up the photo in his hand and took a glimpse at it. The photo did not show the face
of their target, but the clothes that the girl wore in the photo looked exactly the same as the clothes that
the girl was wearing now. “Is the girl who just walked past us the Goldmann daughter?”
The other man turned his head. “It seems so.”
Lisa took out her cell phone, lowered her head, and posted the photo she had just taken on her
Instagram.
She already had 150,000 followers, and each of her photos or videos had thousands of comments:
Soon after she uploaded her latest photo, heaps of likes and comments started coming in. In addition to
those that praised her for her looks and achievement, some were envious of her superior lifestyle.
Just when she stopped to reply to some of the comments, a van appeared out of nowhere and
outflanked her way. Before she could react, someone had already covered her mouth and dragged her
into the van.
The car sped away. And only one shoe was left behind on the ground.
On the other hand, Maisie received a call from Quincy as soon as she arrived at the school. She was
finally relieved to learn that the children had arrived home safely.
‘Thank God…
‘Thank God that Maxine didn‘t succeed!
She hurried back to the Goldmann mansion, and as soon as she entered through the door, she saw
Daisie and Colton sitting on the couch vying for a fruit salad. Nonetheless, she was happy to see that the
children had returned home safely. She walked upstairs and happened to meet Nolan, who was standing
in the corridor on the phone.
When the call was over, he turned his head to look at Maisie as Maisie strode forward toward him, and
he stretched out his hand to welcome her as she threw herself into his arms,
Feeling her shudders, Nolan stroked her hair and chuckled hoarsely. “Everything‘s alright now. Haven‘t
the children returned home safely?”
“But I’m still afraid.” Her voice sounded choked. She was not afraid of what Maxine would do to her, but
she was afraid of involving her children.
Thinking of something, she looked up at him, and her teary eyes looked crystal clear and moving.
“Maxine didn‘t manage
to get what she wanted this time, so she‘ll definitely be back again. My intuition tells me that she‘s
someone that will do anything in order to achieve her goals.”
