Chapter 1688
"You said Ken Pruitt has gotten his hands on my sister?"
Nollace stared at him.
"The Reeses have fallen, so he would only find another person to leech off.Yorrick ignored him, but if
he can get Daisie to join in and solidify his status with the help of the Goldmanns, it will be a different
story."
Yorick Hathaway had seen through his tactics, so Ken couldn't continue with his plan.He might not be
able to convince Nolan either.
If he wanted a better standing and to get rid of his name as the son of an illegitimate child of royalty, the
only way was to use Freyja to get to Daisie.
Colton smirked.
"He won’t be able to."
The Goldmanns didn’t only have Daisie.
There was Waylon and him, and their father was still around, so he wouldn't be able to get his way.
Nollace laughed.
"Don’t underestimate him.He’s not as good with straightforward attacks, but you’re not as cunning
when it comes to curveballs."
He leaned closer to Colton.
"He can’t touch you brothers, so he can only find a way in through Daisie.What if he manages to get to
her through his people?"
Colton squinted.
"Do you mean Ayan?"
Then he laughed, "Knowles, have you lost confidence in yourself?"
"My confidence matters less than your corporation."
Nollace continued.
"If he finds out that you’re against me being with Daisie, it will mean that things are working in his
favor."
Colton laughed.
"You’re trying to make this about you."
"I believe that you'll make the right choice,"
He patted Colton’s shoulder, turned, and got into his car.
After the car drove away, Colton stood on the spot and frowned.
When he heard movement at the flowerbed, he turned around and took a deep breath.
"Daisie Vanderbilt, come here."
Daisie froze because she had been caught.She slowly stood up, smiled, and walked out.
"How long have you been listening?"
"Not long..."
She looked at her shoes.
"Just a few minutes."
Before he could speak, she looked up again and said in a serious tone, "Colton, I know that Ken is
trying to use me, but don’t worry, I will be careful."
Colton crossed his arms.
"You didn’t even realize that Ayan works with him.How could we not worry?"
Daisie looked around, took a deep breath, and walked over to him.
"But I do now."
Colton poked her head and didn’t know what to do.
"Now you do, but what if you never found out?”
"I won't get involved if you want to make new friends, but please keep your eyes open.You’re different
from everyone, so the people who approach you are mostly after your family’s fortune."
It was horrible, but it was the truth.Humans were unpredictable and ever-changing.
Even though one was in a good place now, if they fell, the ‘friends’ around them would eventually
disappear.
The Reeses were the best example.If Daisie was from a normal family, and if people approached her
without wanting anything in return, they would be real friends.
However, Daisie was the princess of the Goldmann family, a family with an impressive background.
If people were nice to her, it would be mostly because of her family, and how many of those who
approached her were genuinely nice? Daisie was quiet because she couldn’t say anything.
She had wanted to wager if Ayan was worth hanging out with.
Unfortunately, she lost the wager.
Colton sighed as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Dad and Waylon aren’t here, but Iam.You don’t need to face anything alone."
