chapter 1299
“Mother, please just stop. Linda is already lying in the morgue, so what else do
you want?” Yorick felt very upset too.
Madam Vanderbilt shut up wisely.
Maisie did not take Madam Vanderbilt’s words to heart and looked at Yorick. “I’ll
pay for the funeral’s expenses. We’ll get to the bottom of the incident when we
find out about the cause of the accident.”
At Blackgold...
Quincy walked next to Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, I’ve located the nightclub for
which Linda worked before this. The owner is known locally as Mr. Donovan, and
he runs an illegal loan shark organization. His nightclub business isn’t clean
either, as he provides special services for his guests.
“I also found out that he often exploits his female employees, deceiving them
into taking nude loans from him. when they cannot pay him back, he’ll get them
to serve guests according to his requirements.”
Nolan’s gaze looked keen, “who does he have supporting him from behind the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtscenes?”
Quincy skimmed through the information. “ Among his clientele is Mr. Saldana
from the Fortune Building Inc. By the way, Mr. Saldana once had business
dealings with the Hannigans three years ago, but there doesn’t seem to be any
obvious interaction between the two companies over the past three years. So,
maybe you can turn to Mr. Hannigan for more information. He should know
something about this.”
Nolan did not say anything, when the two of them passed by the elevator, a
woman stepped out of the elevator abruptly and bumped into him.
Quincy was about to teach the woman a lesson, but he was momentarily stunned when the woman lifted her head.
Cecile had already seen Nolan pass by from within the elevator, and she had chosen to bump into him on purpose.
She could not contain her excitement and pretended to be caught off guard. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I didn’t see
you.”
Nolan glanced at the woman indifferently and gave off a faint frown.
‘She’s the woman that appeared on one of the interview documents. But this woman gives me a strange feeling,
just like what Quincy told me before, and I don’t like this sensation.’
Nolan unbuttoned his jacket and walked away without saying a word.
Quincy took a glimpse at the woman, smiled at her out of courtesy, and immediately caught up to Nolan’s
footsteps.
Nolan took off his jacket because another woman’s perfume had stained it. He then threw the jacket into the
cleaning cart parked in the corridor by the cleaner.
Quincy felt extremely helpless.
‘This jacket costs thousands of dollars, yet he throws it away just because he feels like doing so. If Mrs. Goldmann
were to learn about his action, she’d definitely reprimand Mr.
Goldmann for being such a prodigal man.’
Cecile naturally saw this scene, and the corner of her lips twitched slightly. ‘Now that I got a closer look at him, he
looks even more attractive than he was a few years back.’
She rubbed her fingertips across the corners of her lips, and her eyes looked cold. ‘As expected of a man that you
can’t even keep by your side.’

Linda’s body was cremated at the funeral home, but Madam Vanderbilt did not attend the funeral. Yorick and his
wife were the only ones who were there by Linda’s coffin when it was time to send her off.
When the cremation process was over, the staff handed an urn to Yorick.
Yorick held the urn in his hands, feeling deeply aggrieved and sorrowful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie walked out of the funeral home with them.
Yorick turned to look at her before she sent them into the car. “Zee, thank you.”
Maisie nodded. “Bring this back and organize a proper burial for her. I’ll get back
to you when we get our hands on the investigation results.”
Yorick and his wife got into the car and left.
After the car disappeared from her sight, Maisie followed Saydie back to the car.
Saydie asked if Maisie wanted to return to the company, and Maisie replied,
“We’re heading to Blackgold.”
Maisie and Saydie appeared at the Blackgold Group. All the staff members who
worked at Blackgold’s front desk knew about Maisie and greeted her with a
smile. “It’s nice to see you, Mrs. Goldmann.”
Maisie walked up to the elevator dedicated to the CEO, and Saydie pressed the
button on the wall. When the doors opened, and they were about to step into
the elevator, someone stopped her. “Are you Mrs. Goldmann?”
Maisie stopped, turned around, and looked at the woman who was approaching
her. she squinted slightly as if she had seen the woman standing in front of her
somewhere else.
She looked almost perfect as she approached them—her stern and gorgeous
face subconsciously made Maisie think of someone.
