Chapter 111

Nolan stretched out his palms to the back of her neck, jerked her forward, and kissed her lips harshly in
a punitive manner.

“Um… Nolan Goldmann, let me go…” Maisie, who had just gotten the chance to catch her breath, was
kissed by him again. 2

He directly pressed his body against hers this time around while she was assaulted with kisses, and
her mind went blank.

The man’s aura surrounded her, and the hands that were resisting and pushing against his chest could
only grasp the hem of his collar at that moment.

“It hurts. You’re pressing against me…” Maisie’s arms were being crushed, and she screamed vaguely
in pain.

Nolan supported his body and tried not to put all his weight onto her. He then bit her lip lightly and said
in a low voice, “Do you dare to hurt yourself again in the future?”

Maisie did not answer.

Nolan’s palm, which was supporting her waist, started moving around.

She shuddered all of a sudden and immediately applied pressure onto his restless and warm hand.
“It… It’s my fault. I know it’s my fault!”

Seeing that she was admitting her mistake willingly, Nolan sat up slowly while giving off a faint gaze. “I
won’t let you go again if you repeat yourself in the future.”



“Okay, I’ll never let myself get hurt anymore.” Maisie nodded obediently with an earnest expression.

Nolan was rendered speechless.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and Nolan turned his head, “Come in.”

Two staff members walked in, carrying two boxes that contained an evening gown and a pair of heels
in their hands.

They stepped forward and said respectfully, “We’re really sorry, Mr. Goldmann and Ms. Zora, this has
happened because of our negligence. Our boss has asked us to bring this new high end gown to Ms.
Zora in order to apologize to her. We sincerely hope that Ms. Zora will like them.”

The staff members opened the box, and a one-piece evening gown that had extremely exquisite
craftsmanship appeared.

The cutting of the gown and the golden embroidery on the upper body were all handmade, making it
look exceptionally compact and fine. It was made from silk brocade, which was a



high-quality fabric.

Maisie smiled. “Please thank your boss for me.”

Nolan frowned slightly. His gaze was fixed on Maisie’s indifferent face. “You know Erwin Lincoln?”

‘Erwin is the person who gave her the black invitation card, isn’t he?’

“Yes.” Maisie did not deny it.



Apart from the fashion industry, Erwin actually had a lot of ties with all business circles, not t o mention
that he had always occupied a prominent position in all the circles.

He was the person who had organized the socialite party. Not only did he hold such celebrity events,
but he also had his hand in many charity evenings and masquerades.

“How did you meet?” Nolan stared at her.

Maisie was puzzled. “Why are you asking about this?”

Nolan approached her. “I want to know.”

He had always felt that this woman was hiding other secrets from him.

“I’m Zora, the well-renowned jewelry designer. Is it strange for me to know Mr. Lincoln?” She shrugged,
feeling that her answer was indeed flawless.

Nolan looked at her and did not utter another word.

Maisie grabbed the evening gown and got up. “I’m going to change into this dress.”

Nolan turned his head and watched as she walked toward the other room, lowering his gaze a t the
same time.

Erwin was a native of Morwich. This man had always been very proficient when it came to forming
interpersonal circles and jumping from one circle to another. That was how he seemed to have
connections with half of the business circles around the world. In fact, he had always maintained a
good relationship with the local law enforcers and mafias in Morwich. He was not someone that
anybody could trifle with.



Only the metropolitans of Morwich, who had such public relations, could make use of the vast
interpersonal circle that they possessed to go from one circle to another and expand their social circle
even further.

‘If Maisie were to have met Erwin only because of her identity as the designer Zora, provided that she
only left Zlokova six years ago and had only become Zora after that, while Erwin has been in Zlokova
for the past six years…’
