After Colton left, Edison walked in and stopped next to Nollace.
"Sir, Ms.Livingston went to see Ms.Vanderbilt at the college."
Nollace’s eyes grew cold.
"She didn’t do anything, did she?"
Edison shook his head.
"No, they just had a short chat, and she left."
If she had done anything, she would be the next Lara Reese.
Nollace stood up and left without saying a word.
Zenovia got home from college and went straight to meet King William.She stood in the corridor outside
until the court personnel came over.
"I’m sorry, Ms.Livingston, His Majesty has guests and won’t be able to see you."
"When will His Majesty be available then?"
She had to see how arrogant that woman was.She wouldn’t believe it.She was the granddaughter- in-
law appointed by the king, not some gold digger.
If His Majesty took interest, Daisie would be handled.
The court personnel was going to say something when he saw someone coming from not too far away
and then nodded.
"Mr.Knowles."
Zenovia’s face turned pale when she saw Nollace, but since outsiders were present, she didn’t think
Nollace would do anything to her in public.
Thus, she stood tall.
Nollace was expressionless as usual, cold and collected.
"What is Ms.Livingston here to speak to His Majesty about?"
She looked guilty and could guess that the gold digger had most probably said something.
"Some issues, is that not allowed?"
Nollace remained calm.
"What is it about? Mind to share?"
Zenovia balled up her fist when she felt the stress.
"It has nothing to do with Mr.Knowles."
"Are you sure?"
Her back started sweating while they stood under the air- conditioning, so it chilled her to the bones.
Nollace motioned for everyone to leave them.
Zenovia looked at him.
"Are you going to hit me?"
"If I do, it’s because you've crossed my boundaries."
Nollace stared at her, his eyes unreadable.
"If you don’t behave, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on your father’s behalf."
Zenovia shuddered and breathed hard.
"I just like you.Is that wrong? Why are you treating me this way?"
Nollace chuckled.
"If you had some brains, you wouldn’t have said that."
"I don’t care.I just want to get what I like.I did nothing wrong, and my father said I should fight for the
things I want.I don’t think I’m too bad."
Zenovia grabbed his hand and cried, "Is it that hard to marry me? I’ve never liked someone so much.I
can give you anything you want if we get married, and I’ll be your little wife."
Nollace shook her hand off.
"You would stoop so low? You really are your father’s daughter."
Zenovia stopped crying and looked at him.
"You can shame me but not my father!"
"You deserve to be shamed, as for your father..."
Nollace paused and smirked.
"How much do you know about what he has done?"
Zenovia froze.
"What do you mean?"
Nollace straightened his suit as he said, "Do you know Lisa Fraiser?"
Zenovia shuddered and didn’t dare look into his eyes.He could tell she was feeling guilty, "I guess you
do."
Zenovia lost her cool.
"I...I’m not close with her."
Nollace was expressionless as he spoke.
‘"‘Do you know what happened to the Reeses?"
Zenovia was stunned again.
How could she not know about the Reeses? They had been forced into a corner because they
offended someone!
