Chapter 342

Meryl gulped her saliva when she heard the phrases “promotion” and “raise”. She became rather excited.
“Really… Really?” “I won’t lie to you. You’ll get it as long as you want it.” Rowena’s glamorous eyes
looked sincere, and there was still a smile on her face.

Meryl nodded nervously. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

Being able to work in a big company like the Blackgold Group, the benefits and salary that she got were
already very good. A promotion and an increment were something that Meryl could only think of in her
dreams!

When Meryl left, the smile on Rowena’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a hint of
ruthlessness.

She picked up her cell phone expressionlessly and sent a message.

(Stone, help me to get rid of someone. I’ll send you the details later. The sooner, the better.)

At Soul Jewelry Studio… “Zee, Vaenna’s renovation might have to be delayed for another week,”
Kennedy reported the renovation’s progress to Maisie.

.

Maisie did not feel very anxious and only gave off a smile. “It’s okay. Let’s talk about it when it’s finished”

Kennedy felt helpless. “You’re the one who told me out of the blue back then that you want to move
there, but you don’t seem to be i n a hurry and want to stay longer now?”

Maisie, who got read through like a book pouted. “What… I’m just not in a hurry. Vaenna is so big, after
all. It’ll take time to renovate



it.”

‘We have to understand the hardship that those workers face and not rush them.

Kennedy smiled without saying anything. He had seen through her but chose not to talk about it.

.

Maisie’s phone rang all of a sudden. She picked it up and took a glance at it.

‘An unfamiliar number?’

She answered the call hesitantly before she realized that it was from Titus.

Maisie drove back to the Goldmann mansion. She had already had a vague idea about why the old man
was looking for her.

.

‘It’s probably because of the marriage between Nolan and me.’



Titus sat on the couch while Mr. Cheshire poured him tea

Maisie walked up to the table. “Are you looking for me?”

Titus put the teacup down heavily, glared at Maisie, and reprimanded in a bad tone, “You still got married
to Nolan, after all.”



Maisie’s eyelids drooped, and her tone sounded calm. “Sir, I know that you have concerns about my
relationship with the de Armas, but I still want to tell you today that the matter between the de Armas and
the Goldmanns has nothing to do with me. I’ve never participated in it in the past, even my mother was
never involved, and I won’t be involved in it in the future too.”

‘Regardless of the personal grievances between the de Armas and the Goldmanns, it has nothing to do
with me.’

“It’s easy for you to say.” Titus’ gaze looked sharp and stern. “Do you know why Nolan’s mother was
kidnapped by the de Armas back then? They did so to force the Goldmanns back into a comer.

“I’m against your relationship with Nolan because I don’t want to see the incident that took place 15
years ago repeat itself. I bet Hemandez must know that you and Nolan are now married.”

Titus’ explanation made Maisie pause and frown in doubt.”So what if he knows?”

“Hmph.” Titus ridiculed her naivety. “If Hernandez were to use you to threaten Nolan someday in the
future, what do you think Nolan will do, and to what extent will he go for you?”

Maisie did not say anything.

The de Armas..

‘Would that grandfather of mine really use me to threaten Nolan?’ 1

Maisie pursed her lips and clenched the hands that were resting next to her body. “Don’t worry, I won’t let
myself be used as a toolt o threaten Nolan

“My only relative is my father, Stephen Vanderbilt. Even if I’m related to the de Armas, they’re not my
relatives.” Maisie made everything clear.



‘I grew up in the Vanderbilts, and I’ve only had my father after my mother died. So regardless of whether
I have a grandfather or not, in the end, I don’t even know him and have never met him face to face.’
