Chapter 384

Chapter 383

When Nolan had told her that there was a plan, she thought he was going to expose Rowena in front of
Titus. It turned out that he had found one of his men and performed a show?

Quincy grinned and replied, “Ms. Vanderbilt, we didn’t stage this ourselves. Someone indeed ambushed
Mr. Goldmann and me while we were on our way back. It’s raining out there, and the road is slippery.
Had it not been for my superb driving skills, we would be the ones in the hospital right now. Those thugs
weren’t seriously injured, so we sent them to the police station. After that, Mr. Goldmann and I decided to
go with the flow and find someone to put up a show.”

“Seriously?” Maisie looked at Nolan. “But are they really Rowena’s men?”

‘Isn’t Rowena in love with Nolan? Why would she do that?

Looking at her, Nolan smiled and replied, “Those people in the police station have confessed everything.
Someone wanted them to put the blame on the de Arma family.”

Maisie recalled how Rowena had been so certain that the people from the de Amma family were behind
the incident. It only now occurred to her that Rowena wanted to transfer the blame to the de Arma family
so that Titus would not suspect her.

Quincy continued. “That’s right. One of the reasons Mr. Goldmann and I are doing this is that we want to
remove those people behind Ms. Summers. After tonight’s incident, Elder Master Goldmann will not trust
her as much as he did in the past, while Ms. Summers will suspect that her people have sold her out.”

Titus had a lot of trust in Rowena, and that was why she could act so blatantly. Besides, she had
attended the training camp before, so she always had a backup plan to keep herself out of sight.



Unfortunately, her anxiety had gotten the best of her. She had been too anxious to prove to Titus that
everything had nothing to do with her. If something had really happened to Nolan tonight, Titus would
certainly have thought it was the de Arma family’s doing.

The thing that happened tonight would give Rowena the wrong impression that her men had betrayed
her. They were certain that she would not give up just like that. Therefore, they only needed to wait for
her to make a move and take the bait. After Nolan finished giving his orders to Quincy, he brought Maisie
back to Blue Bay villa. It was very late by the time they got home.



Realizing that Nolan’s clothes were thoroughly wet, Maisie said with a pout, “Your clothes are wet. You
should go to take a bath first so that you won’t catch a cold.”

Just when she was about to leave with his blazer, Nolan pulled her back into his arm. He coiled his arm
from the back and rested his chin on her head. His voice was soft as he spoke. “Were you worried when
you were coming to the hospital?”

“Hah, yeah. You didn’t pick up my call, and when I called Quincy, they said you were in the hospital.”
Maisie turned around in his embrace and added expressionlessly, “It turns out that my worries were
totally uncalled for.”

When Nolan realized that she was angry, he smiled and replied, “I left my phone in the car. Anyway, you
don’t have to worry about anything. I promise you that there will be no next time.”

However, Maisie did not reply.

“Are you mad?” Nolan carried her to the bed, supporting himself on the edge of the bed to encircle her in
his arms. He comforted her, “Zee, I’m sorry. I promise I won’t make you worry again next time, okay?”

Maisie just looked at him, but she did not say anything.



“You can hit me all you want if you’re angry.”

Nolan grabbed her hand and slapped himself in the face, the power it carried so strong that even her
palm trembled. She pulled her hand back and asked, “Are you a glutton for punishment?”

Nolan continued to comfort her, “So can you forgive me?”

Maisie was caught between laughter and tears. She said, “I’m going to get angry if you still don’t want to
go take your shower.”

Nolan then got up and replied, “Alright. I’ll go take my shower now.”

A few moments later, Nolan came out with a towel wrapped around him. He just casually ruffled his wet
and disheveled hair, and Maisie was mesmerized by the scene.

When he noticed that Maisie was looking at him admiringly, the corner of his lips curled up a little. He
grabbed her wrist, pulled her close to him, and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Do I look good?”
