Chapter 129

Nolan narrowed his eyes.

“What are you afraid of? Everyone knows that you belong to me.” He had made it public, so it wasn’t
possible they didn’t know.

Maisie pushed his hand away and said proudly, “Can you show me alittle respect, please?” She didn’t
want to walk around as ‘Mr.

Goldmann’s woman’.

Nolan’s eyes turned dark.

She didn’t really mind how people thought.

It was more like she didn’t want to show affection in front of everyone.

Why was she ashamed of him? Maisie noticed the weight of the arm and the possessiveness coming
from his eyes, so her heart started pounding.

Who knew if this man would kiss her in front of the crowd just to show them that she was his? That
wouldn’t be ideal.

| She changed her attitude from being proud to being shy, even a little demure, and whispered, “We’re
in public.

Could you at least let me look respectable?” Nolan paused.

He thought she didn’t want to get close to him in public, but it turned out that she just wanted to look
respectable.

He scoffed.



“Alright, I'll buy that.” He let go.

Quincy was stunned.

Was it that easy to convince Mr.

Goldmann? Maisie relaxed.

As she was about to leave, she remembered something.

Thus, she turned around and asked, “By the way, didn’t you investigate if my mother was linked to
Erwin? Did you find anything?” She had been thinking about that since the night before.

Erwin wouldn’t tell her, saying that it wasn’t the right time, but she still wanted to learn more about her
mother.

Since Nolan had started looking into it, he might have learned something.

Nolan’s tight lips slowly opened upon seeing how much she wanted to know.

“Come see me at my office in the afternoon.” 1 When afternoon came, Maisie went to his office.

After knocking and getting permission to enter, she opened the door and saw Nolan sitting cross-
legged on the couch, closing the document he was holding.

He looked up at her.

That handsome face—his thin lips were pressed together into a beautiful straight line.

Maisie looked away.

This man was too good-looking.



Not only was he good-looking, but he was also a gangster in a suit.

Upon recalling what she had seen that day, she started blushing.

When her eyes met Nolan’s, Maisie faked a cough and pretended to calmly walk to him.

“Did you find anything?” Nolan passed the document he was holding to her.

Maisie took the document and sat down to read it.

Marina de Arma.

Her mother was from the de Armas? Why had she changed it? Nolan kept his eyes on her.

Her expression showed that she didn’t know anything about her mother’s past.

“That means that no one in the Vanderbilt family, including you, knew.” Had the Vanderbilts known that
Stephen’s wife was Marina de Arma, they would have spread the news far and wide.

They were related to nobles, after all.

Maisie slowly said, “I-I didn’t know.

But what does this have to do with her family name?” Nolan switched on his laptop and showed her a
page.

Maisie saw the picture in the file.

It was her younger mother getting off a yacht with Erwin, surrounded by bodyguards in black.

“Uncle Erwin and my mother—” ‘No way! Were Mom and Uncle Erwin ina relationship!?’ Nolan
suddenly appeared to be sitting next to her and said quietly, “Look closer.”
