Chapter 1178

“Ms. Vanderbilt.” Lucy seemed to be looking for her, and she caught up to Maisie. “A woman has come to
our lobby. She claims that she’s here for Naomi.”

After listening to what Lucy had to say, Maisie could not help but frown. “How old is the woman?”

Lucy replied, “I think she’s in her late 30s to her late 40s, has a remarkable and elegant temperament,
and everything that she wears is of all sorts of designer brands. In short, she’s definitely not a woman
who comes from an ordinary family.” With that description, Maisie could more or less guess who it was.
That’s Naomi’s biological mother. ‘Nolan said that Mr. Topaz quit Royal Crown because of Patricia
Emerson. He also mentioned that they had been in a relationship a while back, but it did not go public.
Around that time, Patricia gave birth to Naomi for Anthony. However, their relationship ended when
Patricia moved on and got married to Alexander Gosling. “That’s why Mr. Topaz had to raise Naomi
alone. He’s Naomi’s father, but no one in the industry has ever seen his so-called wife. Everyone only
knows that he has a daughter, but no one knows that Anthony has never gotten married.’

She said to Kennedy, “I’ll go down and welcome the other party first so that she won’t have to wait for a
long time.” Kennedy nodded. Patricia was sitting on the couch in the lobby browsing a magazine that
talked about jewelry fashion and flipped through it while waiting. She did not raise her head until she
heard the sound of high heels approaching. Maisie smiled. “Mrs. Gosling.” Probably because Maisie got
her name correctly, Patricia took a good look at her and put the magazine back down. “May I know who
you are?”

“I’m the founder of Soul Jewelry, Maisie Vanderbilt.” She lowered her gaze and bowed with a smile.
“You’ve left Bassburgh for so many years, so I think you probably haven’t heard of me before this.”

Patricia stood up slowly. “Oh, you’re Mrs. Goldmann. Although I haven’t seen you before this, I’ve
definitely heard of you.” “Are you here for Ms. Topaz?” Maisie looked at her.





Patricia was worthy of being crowned as the most enchanting female celebrity in the entire entertainment
industry during the 70s . Although she was already in her 40s and did not look as youthful as she was in
the past, her charm was still there. “Did she refuse to see me?” Patricia did not answer the question
directly. She looked around the lobby but failed to locate Naomi’ s whereabouts.

“She’s currently a little occupied.”

“She’s Anthony Topaz’s daughter, so why is she working at a jewelry company?” It was not that Maisie
did not get what Patricia was implying. Naomi was Anthony’s only daughter, so there was really no need
for her to work given her family background. Not to mention that Anthony had no son. Naomi would
inherit the entirety of Eastwood Enterprise in the future. “Ms. Topaz has her own dreams.” Maisie smiled
as she glanced at Patricia with her meaningful gaze. “You probably don’t know that Ms. Topaz is very
talented in jewelry design, do you?” Patricia’s expression dimmed. “This is between her and me. All you
need to do is just tell her that I’ve come for her, and I’ll wait for her here.”

She then sat back on the couch and did not seem to have the plan of leaving in a while.

Maisie picked up her phone, called Lucy, and asked her to pass the message to Naomi. Lucy then said
something to her in response before the call ended. Maisie conveyed the message to Patricia.” I’ve
informed Ms. Topaz about your request to see her, but it seems that she doesn’t want to see you.” “She
must come and see me even if she doesn’t want to!” Patricia could no longer keep her cool. However,
she managed to calm herself down almost instantly. “TH just wait for her here.” Seeing that she insisted
on meeting Naomi, Maisie had some guesses, but she could not pinpoint the exact reason.

‘Does she regret her decision to abandon Naomi back then, and she wants to make up now and ask for
her forgiveness? Or does she have something else going on up there? All these are unclear.’



Maisie did not say anything else, turned around, and left the lobby.

Patricia sat in the lobby and waited for a long time, three hours to be exact.

Lucy stood on the second floor and kept an eye on her throughout the whole time.” This lady’s patience
is really off the charts. Why is she so persistent about meeting with Naomi?”
