Chapter 223

“Who told you that you don’t deserve it? You’ve saved my life. That makes you the great benefactor of
the Vanderbilts.” Madam Vanderbilt was still a little scared at the moment. After all, if Leila had not
appeared and pushed her away, she would have probably died underneath the wheels.

“Stephen, you’re no longer a young lad, so stop thinking about the divorce all day long. Leila has been
married to you for so many years. Isn’t it just a fake pregnancy? She only wanted to give you a son. Is
that wrong?”

Madam Vanderbilt glared at Maisie as she was speaking. “We’re a family, so why make it difficult for a
member of your family?”

The sentence was directed at Maisie.

Maisie raised her eyes lightly and smirked. “Wow, Grandma, did you get rescued by Ms. Scott just when
you were about to run into a car accident? What a coincidence, huh?”.

Leila bit her lip.

Dimn you, Maisie Vanderbilt! So you’re really here to make things hard, huh!?’

*Zee, I know that you don’t like me, but I didn’t save your grandmother with any ulterior motive in mind.
Anyway, I don’t plan to return to the Vanderbilts, nor do I plan to ask for your father’s forgiveness.” Leila
stood up slowly as she spoke. “I’d better go back already.”

!

“What do you mean by going back? Sit back down,” Madam Vanderbilt said boldly, “The divorce hasn’t
been finalized yet, has it? You’ve made such a big fuss out of it. I’ll let it slide since Zee is the ignorant



one, but why are you so ignorant too?”

Stephen, who had remained silent for a long time, looked at Leila and said slowly, “You stay with Mother.”

Leila nodded and sat back down.

Seeing that Stephen had left the ward, Maisie left with him.

Madam Vanderbilt snorted and grabbed Leila’s hand. “Don’t worry, you’ll get to return to the Vanderbilt
manor as long as I’m here.”

Leila looked virtuous and smiled. “Thank you, Mother.”..

Stephen looked at Maisie with a complex expression outside the ward. “Zee, about Leila, she saved your
grandmother, and she now knows that she was wrong. So I plan to give her another chance and let her
return to the Vanderbilt manor. Will you blame me for that?”



Since her father was going to give Leila a second chance, Maisie’s face dimmed, “Are you sure about
trusting her again?”

“Zee, I know you don’t like her,”

Maisie interrupted him lightly. “It’s not that matter of whether I like her or not. Since this is your decision,
then you should just let her return to the manor. As long as you don’t trust her blindly once again.” It was
obvious that her words carried other meanings.

Stephen seemed to have gotten the underlying meaning of Maisie’s words, but he still chose to believe in
Leila again. 1



Maisie did not try to stop him. What Leila had done to win Madam Vanderbilt’s heart back in order to
return to the manor only showed that her purpose was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

She wanted to see what Leila had in mind this time around.

Maisie walked out of the hospital. When she saw that Nolan was leaning against the front of his car and
was being approached by two women, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

‘Having an eye-catching car isn’t a big deal here, but it will be an issue if the man is also extremely eye-
catching..’

Maisie stepped forward, and the two women looked back and saw her walking toward them in a man’s
coat. They immediately understood something and left hesitantly.

“Let’s go, let’s go. It turns out that he’s no longer available. That’s a pity…”

Maisie took off Nolan’s coat and returned it to him. “Why didn’t you wait in the car?”

Nolan crossed his arms, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. “It’s hot in the car, so I’ve come
out to escape from the heat.”

Maisie pretended that she had not said what she had just said. She had actually felt a little guilty when
she saw him standing outside in such a thin shirt.

Nolan turned around, pressed her against the car door, and looked at her. “No one will bother you again
tonight, am I right?” Maisie’s eyes looked iffy. “It’s already so late, so I think…”
