When Daisie, who was hiding behind the car, heard that, she stood up.
"You have no dignity!" Edison jumped.
"Ms.Vanderbilt!?"
Daisie quickly walked to the car, leaned on the door, and looked at him.
"You’re planning to live with us and spend our money and take everything!"
Nollace chuckled as he stared at her innocent and beautiful face.
"If the family fortune can survive the three of you, it can survive me too." Daisie puffed up her cheeks.
"You’re trying to say that my brothers and I spend too much money?"
Nollace couldn’t help but smile and pinch her cheek.
"You alone are enough trouble.Why else would you go trash up the Pruitts’ home?"
She paused and suddenly felt ashamed.
"I was angry.How could that old woman bully her like that?"
No one noticed that Edison had left.
Nollace opened the door, pulled her into the car so that she would sit on his lap, and whispered into her
ear, "How long were you eavesdropping?"
Daisie was ashamed that she had been caught eavesdropping, so she looked away, "Not very long..."It
wasn’t too long, just around five or six minutes, but she had heard everything she shouldn’t have.
Nollace cupped her cheek.
"So, you heard everything." She felt guilty.
"Am I not supposed to hear that?"
He smiled but didn’t answer.
"Why was Ayan admitted?"
Daisie was worried that he would be angry, so she quickly explained, "I was just curious, nothing else."
He laughed.
"Are you concerned about my feelings?" Daisie choked.
"What if you take things the wrong way?"
Nollace tapped the tip of her nose, "That’s sincere."
He wasn’t planning on hiding it from her.
"Ken hired someone to get rid of him.We saved him, but he was already badly injured."
Daisie was shocked.
"Ken wanted to get rid of him? Is it because..."
She guessed that it was because of what he had done to her— because he was exposed.
Nollace pushed her hair behind her ear.
"How’s Freyja?"
Daisie looked down.
"She’s badly hurt.The maid sent a text to me with her phone because she would have lost her life."
She pouted and tugged his sleeve.
"Nolly, how could her family treat her so cruelly?"
Freyja was her daughter, but Sandy only cared about her son.She would even treat her daughter so
cruelly.
Nollace looked away, "It’s related to how they were brought up.You know that my aunt is an illegitimate
child.She never got to visit the palace, even though she was also a princess.She wasn’t treated the
same as my mother."
Daisie paused.
"That was the main reason?"
He smiled and looked at her.
"Not everyone is able to accept the fact when they go through hardships."
"But how could she punish her children for her hardships? Even if her life was tough, she had control of
her own life.She could have changed it."
Daisie couldn’t understand.
As an illegitimate child, Sandy had done no wrong because her mother had chosen to keep her.
Even if her mother had done it for power and status and would rather be a mistress and get chastised
for it, what had her children done wrong? Sandy could have changed herself and become a better
mother than her mother, but she chose vengeance and punished her children for her misfortune.
Nollace looked down.
"People are rarely so wise.If there were more of them, there wouldn’t be people who couldn’t
distinguish between good and evil.To be goad or evil is a choice."
