Chapter 807
Maisie did not know what to say. She released Ryleigh, turned around, and walked toward her car. While
she was sending Ryleigh back to the academy, Ryleigh asked about the man,” Zee, do you know the
man we met just now?”
“Not really,” Maisie replied. She kept her gaze fixed ahead and continued. “He’s Mr. Topaz’s partner, and
I know him through Madam Nera.”
It was only then understanding dawned upon Ryleigh. “I see. No wonder I can sense an air of confidence
in that man. So, he’s a businessman. Why did he treat you so well? He even wanted to invite you to a
meal. Could it be that…”
She paused for two seconds, spun her head around to look at Maisie, and said, “His son has taken a
liking to you, and he wants you to be his daughter-in-law?”
Maisie was stumped and caught between laughter and tears. “Do you have any idea what you are talking
about, Ryleigh? He knows Nolan and knows that I’m Nolan’s wife, so how is there any chance he would

instead?”
Ryleigh stopped talking as she received a news notification on her phone. She tapped on it and was
shocked. Barbara… She’s a murderer?”
Maisie was stunned. She pulled over and took Ryleigh’s phone.
#The murderer from the Chases: She was acquitted due to her strong background and changed her
name to “Barbara Chase”, and she has returned #
She clicked on it, and the content was about the fake news about Barbara.
“Zee, what is this all about?” Ryleigh did not know about Barbara’s matter, so she was both shocked and
confused when she saw the news.
Maisie returned the phone to her and asked, “Do you believe it?”
Ryleigh shook her head. “Of course I don’t believe it. Barbara isn’t that kind of person.”
“That’s right. This news came out right after what happened to the Chases. I’m guessing that someone
couldn’t wait any longer.”
Maisie suspected that Katrina was behind this.
Barbara’s uncle had had an accident while her father had retired, and the Chases had cut off their ties
with the people from the top. When Katrina published the news to crusade against the Chases, it set off
a huge public outcry, which was tantamount to adding salt
to the wound for the Chases.
Maisie sent Ryleigh to the gate of the Royal Academy of Music. After Ryleigh went inside, Maisie pulled
out her phone and made a call to Barbara.
It took Barbara quite a while to answer her call. She seemed to be drinking wine as she said, “Maisie?
What’s up?”
“Where are you now?” Maisie asked.
“Me? I’m at the Glitz Club now,” Barbara replied. She was lying on the top of the bar, swirling the wine in
the glass and smiling.”
Drinking some wine.” “Glitz Club?” Maisie asked. She wondered what Barbara was doing over there.
After all it was daytime right now, and the Glitz Club only operated at night.

She stomped on the accelerator and left the academy. “I’ll go to look for you now.”
“No…” Barbara put her hand on her forehead and continued, “Stay out of this. You don’t have to worry
about me. I can handle it myself.” Barbara then hung up the call and propped herself up by holding onto
the bar. Other than the waiters preparing for the evening’s opening at the side, there were no other
guests in the large club.
The manager walked toward Barbara and said, “Ms. Chase, you’re drunk. My boss asked me to bring
you upstairs to rest.” There was a private room in the Glitz Club that none of the guests knew about
except for the owner and the people in the club.
Barbara did not move.
The manager called two girls rehearsing for tonight’s performance and said, “She’s our boss’ VIP. Get
her upstairs to rest.” The two girls nodded and carried Barbara upstairs.
The elevator came to the fifth floor. The fifth floor was separate, and although it also belonged to the Glitz
Club, it was the owner’s office area, and only executives and shareholders could set foot in it.
