Chapter 212

“Yeah, Zee, anyhow, the Zimmermans are quite reputable in Coralia. You don’t have to worry about
anything if you were to get married to this family.” Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt chimed in with each other
perfectly as if they could not wait to marry Maisiet o the Zimmermans at this very moment.

Maisie chuckled. “I even have kids. Are the Zimmermans so desperate that you welcome the kids that
come in a package with the daughter-in-law of your choice?”

Yanis and Mrs. Zimmerman’s expressions changed upon hearing this. While Madam Vanderbilt
responded immediately, “Zee, what are you talking about? Since when did you have children?”

“Whether I have kids, you’ll know more about that after you’ve confirmed the details with Father.” Maisie
crossed her arms and leaned back slightly. “The children’s father is actually Mr. Goldmann. So no matter
how prestigious the Zimmermans are in Coralia, how can they be comparable to Mr. Goldmann?”

Mrs. Zimmerman looked embarrassed in an instant. She glared at Yanis and the others. “Are you lying to
my son and me?”

“Mrs. Zimmerman, don’t be angry.” Yanis calmed her down and looked at Maisie. “Zee, stop messing
around. How would the Vanderbilts not know anything about the kids if you really have given birth to
them? Don’t come up with excuses already.”

‘Mother did tell me that Maisie has indeed gotten together with the legendary Mr. Goldmann of
Bassburgh, but Linda has also taken a fancy to Mr. Goldmann. Thus, if I don’t help her make this
happen, how could I help Linda secure Mr. Goldmann?

‘Hence, no matter if the stoty about those kids is true or not, I’ll make it happen anyway.

‘Moreover…’



Yanis’s gaze landed on Mrs. Zimmerman’s son, Jimmy Zimmerman

‘He hasn’t taken his eyes off Maisie ever since she came in through the door. Hmph, he’s definitely a
lewd one.’

“Since this is a blind date, then I don’t think there’s a need for me to waste time here. Besides, none of
you are worthy of calling the shots when it comes to my marriage.” Maisie got up and was about to leave.

Linda stopped her hurriedly upon seeing this. “Maisie, don’t be furious about this. At least, join us for
dinner first before you leave.”



“Yes, Zee, we’ll talk later. Let’s finish the meal first. The appetizers are about to be served. You’ll
embarrass us elders big time if you choose to leave at this time.” Yanis could not afford to let this golden
opportunity slip away from her grip. She must make Maisie marry Jimmy today!

They all wanted to keep her here so badly that their purpose was as clear as day.

‘All they want is to tie me together with this strange man. Heh, how nice of them. Is this what they refer to
as one’s flesh and blood?

‘But to me, kinship is only a relationship that can be used and bent for one’s own benefit!

Maisie sat back in her seat and smiled. “That’s indeed true. I’d embarrass the elders if I were to leave
just like this.”

“Glad to hear that, Zee. You’re still the most sensible one in the Vanderbilts.” Madam Vanderbilt was
delighted deep down.

‘Anyway, she won’t be able to escape her fate today.’



After all the food was served, Yanis looked at Jimmy. “Jimmy, what do you think of Zee?”

“Great… She’s certainly great.” Jimmy stared at Maisie and could not bear to take his eyes off her.

“There’s no way that I’ll get to run into such a superb quality woman back in Coralia. Besides, which of
those women around me is comparable to her?’

Maisie chuckled, raised her eyes, and looked at Jimmy. “Mr. Zimmerman does have quite a good taste
when it comes to women. Do you have a thing for women who have given birth?”

How could Mrs. Zimmerman be gleeful when all Maisie talked about was her children?

But of all the people present, her son did not seem to care about it. “It doesn’t matter. We’re living in an
open society now, where even divorced women can find themselves stepping into another marriage
nowadays. So why should I care whether you have kids? I promise that I’ll treat you like a queen as long
as you’re willing to be with me.”

“Oh? Really?” Maisie raised her eyebrows.

Jimmy was so enchanted by her that he was totally carried away. All he could do was smile at this
moment. “Of course, of course.” 1

Seeing that her son had been intoxicated and was no longer in his right mind, Mrs. Zimmerman
responded immediately. “You’re

not allowed to bring your children along if you want to marry the Zimmermans. What would the public
think of my son if they were to find out that he’s raising those kids on behalf of another man?”
