Chapter 219

Maisie pressed her lips together and added, “We just need to get Yorick released. The travel agency and
everything else isn’t my concern.”

She could help get her uncle out, but she would never forget what Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt had
done to her.

She was only helping for her father’s sake, and she would stay out of the rest.

Of course, if they never change their attitude, it would be a different case.

Nolan got up, walked to her, leaned forward to match her height, and looked at her. “I can get him out,
but…”

He pulled her into his arms. “What do I get in retur?”

Maisie took a deep breath. She knew this man would take advantage of the situation.

She blinked. A kiss was a kiss, and a few more kisses wouldn’t make a difference.

She took the initiative, which was rare, but he put his finger to her lips, his eyes burning. “You’re not
going to get rid of me so easily.”

Maisie slapped his hand away. “What do you want?”

“You,” he answered with the same expression

1

Maisie’s face flared, noticing his slight change in emotion. When she wanted to say something, he
pressed his lips onto hers.



The next day…

Madam Vanderbilt received a call from Yanis and was delighted when she found out that Yorick had been
released.

However, Yanis said something, and Madam Vanderbilt sat down on the couch hard and said, “What?
We’re not allowed to operate anymore?”

“We’ve been ordered to stop. We can’t do anything about it. Mom, we can’t carry on with the business.
The Zimmermans seem to be backing out of the marriage with Linda because of this.”



Even though Yanis loved her daughter, she felt annoyed whenever she remembered that Jimmy had
ruined her daughter.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t change the past.

They could marry off the daughter, but after the situation in the family, the Zimmermans wouldn’t want to
be involved anymore.

“Mom, why not let Hector take over Stephen’s jewelry business since he doesn’t have a son?” 2

Yanis continued. “We’re a family. The company shouldn’t be passed on to girls who will one day marry, or
it will then belong to outsiders.”

Madam Vanderbilt had always planned to do that. Now that their businesses in Coralia were in trouble,
only Stephen’s jewelry business could be considered.

Madam Vanderbilt went to the study to speak to Stephen about this.



After Stephen listened to what she had to say, he immediately flew into a rage. “Mom, have you gone
mad!? You want me to give the company shares to my nephew?”

“I’m not mad. Vaenna is a Vanderbilt family business. You’re not going to pass the company to Maisie,
are you?” 1

Madam Vanderbilt wasn’t going to let that happen. “Maisie will marry one day. She can’t be a Vanderbilt
forever. You should give the company to Hector instead of her. He’s your nephew!”

Stephen held his fist and squared his jaw.

Madam Vanderbilt tried to persuade him. “Stephen, are you going to disobey me now? I know you love
your daughter, but she has M 1. Goldmann now. She won’t lose anything.

“She won’t run out of money and luxury when she’s with Mr. Goldmann. Vaenna Jewelry is all the
Vanderbilts have now.”

Seeing Stephen staying quiet, Madam Vanderbilt continued. “Don’t think about it. Listen to me. Maisie
won’t miss this one company.”
