Chapter 179
Maisie pushed his face that was coming closer to her away. Nolan was stuck to her like glue.
Quincy walked right into a sappy scene when he opened the door.
Maisie and Nolan both looked toward Quincy.
The air froze.
Quincy backed up and closed the door. 1
Maisie pushed Nolan away and calmly said, “Show’s over. I’m leaving.”
“Wait” Nolan pulled her hand,
Maisie turned around curiously but saw him smiling,
“Don’t you want to know about the Lucas family?”
“The Lucas family?’ Maisie paused. ‘Did he ask to see me because of them?’

*You found out?” Maisie looked down. She could keep nothing from him.
“Mrs. Lucas is your mother’s sister, Larissa, one of the de Armas,” Nolan said.
Maisie froze on the spot upon hearing that.
Larissa de Arma. Her mother’s sister.
Maisie had only found out that her mother was a de Arma before this but didn’t know about her sister.
She finally learned that Mrs. Lucas was her mother’s sister!
But she was the one helping Willow.
Nolan stood up and walked toward her, pressing his hand on the desk around her. “Willow stole your
identity. She lied and said that she was the daughter of Marina de Arma.”
Maisie looked up at Nolan in surprise but was curious how the Lucas family hadn’t suspected Willow
until now
She was filled with complicated emotions.

Nolan ran his finger over her lips, caressing them. “Zee, if you mind, I can help you take back your
identity.”
Maisie paused, but seeing that Nolan was serious, she looked down and smiled. “Nolan, thanks for
telling me, but I’ll take care of Willow.”
Nolan squinted. “You think I’m useless?”
“I never said that.”
Nolan looked hurt. “Then why can’t you rely on me, just this once…”
He put his head on her shoulder.
Maisie was stunned. This man was showing his soft side! No one could handle that!
She cleared her throat and looked away. “If you want to help, then go ahead.”

Madam Nera and Maisie were enjoying high tea in a private room.
“I heard that the Lucas family wanted to give trouble to your jewelry studio. Did you offend them?”
Madam Nera asked
Maisie put down her teacup and smiled. “I wouldn’t say offend. It was just that my design was the same
as Willow’s during the auction. The Lucas family is backing her, so they were trying to snuff me out.”
“I’m curious now.” Madam Nera looked at her. “What happened between your designs?”
Maisie didn’t want to hide anything, so she admitted everything to Madam Nera.
After listening to her explanation, Madam Nera was surprised. “Her design was yours too?”
“Yes, I gave it to her.”
Madam Nera seemed to understand but couldn’t figure it out. “Is there a grudge between you and
Willow?” Maisie looked down and calmly said, “She’s my stepsister. She and her mother tried to frame
me. I was just returning the favor.
“I was supposed to be the victim, not Pearl Santiago. Hadn’t I been cautious, my reputation would have
been ruined instead.”
