Chapter 594
Ryleigh froze. Her father had been nagging her about her marriage with Louis, and the only reason he
was letting her stay in his house was that he thought she had decided to marry Louis.
‘Will my father chase me out of the house if I tell him that I want to cancel the marriage?’
She turned back to the couch and sat down. Looking at Louis, she said, “But if it’s your family that
canceled the marriage, my father wouldn’t force me to marry you.”
Louis’s eyes glimmered. “Everyone in Bassburgh knows about the marriage between our families, so do
you think it’s that easy to cancel it? Besides, even if we want to cancel the marriage, your family will get
the short’end of the stick. Do you think your father would allow something like that to happen?”
Ryleigh did not know what to say.
Just when she was hemming and hawing, Maisie and Larissa came downstairs. When Larissa saw them,
she smiled and said, “Ryleigh, what are you guys talking about?”
“Aunt Larissa, 1-”

continued.” I think it’s about time for us to get engaged, right?”
Ryleigh’s expression changed. “You…”
She knew that Louis must be doing this on purpose when she saw the meaningful grin on his face.
‘He’s willing to sacrifice one of the most important life events in his life just because I kicked him? He’s
going to get back at me after the engagement, right?’
Larissa smiled. She turned around and said to Maisie,” Zee, you’re Ryleigh’s friend. She’s going to
become your cousin-in-law!”
Maisie glanced at Ryleigh and replied, “Yeah. I didn’t see that coming either.”
After leaving the Lucas mansion, Ryleigh walked up to the car and kicked the tire. “I’m done for! He must
be doing this to get it back at me for kicking him. What a m gonna do now?”
Maisie patted her shoulder and said, “Calm down.
Being angry won’t get you anywhere.”
Ryleigh got into the car and put on the seatbelt, “I thought I could run away from it if I didn’t mention it for
the past three years.”
Maisie turned around to look at her and said, “Louis is good-looking and talented. He’s a very good
candidate when it comes to being a husband, and the socialites i n Bassburgh want to marry him. Why
does it seem to me that you don’t like him very much?”
Jerking her head, Ryleigh stared at Maisie and replied, “Zee, don’t try to speak up for him just because
he’s your cousin. I admit that he’s really handsome, but he has the worst personality. If I really become
his wife, he will certainly make my life harder than living in hell”
“So, what are you worried about?”
“…” Ryleigh paused for a moment. She lowered her head slightly and continued. “It’s just a marriage of
convenience. I don’t know much about him, and we don’t love each other at all. Zee, in the past, you kept
saying that you wished you were me, but now, I wish I were you . At the very least, you married a man
who you love and loves you back.”
Maisie’s eyes swiveled around her socket as if she was thinking something. Suddenly, she placed her
hand on her shoulder and said, “I can help you to feel him out.”

butler. When the butler noticed her, he nodded at her and said, “Welcome back, Madam.”
Maisie scanned around the living room and asked,” Isn’t the dinner ready? Where’s Nolan?”
Quincy cleared his throat and said awkwardly, “Mr. Goldmann is in the study room, and I think he’s
feeling a little defeated.”
“Feeling defeated? Nolan? Why?” Maisie asked.
After a short while of contemplation, Quincy replied,” Mr. Goldmann went back to the Blackgold Group
today. He has forgotten many things, and the interior has changed a lot over the years, so-”
Understanding instantly dawned upon Maisie, and she interrupted him. “The others didn’t suspect
anything, did they?”
Quincy was taken aback for a moment before he replied, “Some of them did, but they didn’t have the
guts to ask anything. Mr. Goldmann took over the Blackgold Group so soon because he wants to regain
his memory as soon as possible.”
Maisie walked upstairs and stopped in front of the study room. Just when she was about to push the
door, a tall figure appeared in front
