    Chapter 1781


    Noce’s expression did not change, looking as indifferent and stern as usual.


    "You seem very confident."


    Zenovia smiled and approached him.


    "Of course, I‘m confident.Other than being the daughter of the Goldmanns, Daisie can’t provide you


    with anything else.Meanwhile, I’m different.I can do anything for you, and I''ll make sure you see my


    brilliance as time goes by."


    The moment she was about to hug Noce, he pushed her away from him.She fell to the ground, lifted


    her head in shock, stared into his gloomy and cold re, and could not help but tremble.


    Noce looked down at her condescendingly.


    "Do you think you can challenge my bottom line unscrupulously just because my grandfather has


    recognized you as his goddaughter?"


    Zenovia gnashed her teeth.


    "What’s the bottom line that you''re referring to? Daisie?"


    Noce leaned over, pinched her chin, and scoffed sullenly.


    "If warnings don’t work on you, I''ll change how I deliver my message to you." She trembled vigorously.


    "What do you n to do to me?"


    Noce let go of her, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his fingertips.His tone sounded indifferent as


    he said, "The Livingstons and you, you can only save one now."


    She let off a miserableugh, and a hint of ruthlessness beamed through her eyes.


    "You n to make a move on the Livingstons? That''s impossible!"


    ‘Even if Noce has the power to do so, the Knowles Group hasn’t yet established a firm foothold in the


    country, so no matter how powerful he is, he shouldn’t be able to reach out and make a move on the


    Livingstons that’s located all the way in Haniston!’ He responded with a calm hum and straightened his


    posture.


    "Let’s hope you can continue to act so confidently in the future, Ms.Livingston."


    He then threw the handkerchief away, walked past her, and left the pavilion with Edison without looking


    back.


    Zenovia’s clenched hands trembled slightly.


    She knew that he was threatening her with the Livingstons.


    ‘If his target is the Livingstons, it’s definitely impossible!’


    The next day was a weekend.


    Hearing the doorbell ring, Daisie, who had just freshened herself up, hurried downstairs and opened


    the door.


    The person standing outside was Noce.


    She froze for a moment and then chuckled.


    "Why are you here?"


    Looking at her smiling eyes, Noce reached out and pinched her fair cheek.


    "I’vee to see you." Daisie smacked his hand off her cheek.


    "Stop pinching my face.It''ll get ruined."


    He could not help butugh out loud.


    "Bing ugly won’t bea problem.It won’t affect my love for you."


    Daisie frowned.


    "You might not care about it, but Ido!"


    Noce stretched his hand out, took her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her between the


    eyebrows.


    "Okay, I''ll stop teasing you already.I’m here to tell you that I''ll be leaving on a business trip for a week."


    She was caught off guard by the news and looked up at him.


    "You''re going on a business trip?"


    "Yeah, that’s why I’vee to see you."


    "Are you leaving today?"


    Noce could not help butugh upon seeing the unwillingness shing across her eyes and hugged


    her.


    "What’s up with the reluctance?"


    She pursed her lips and pressed her palm against his chest to feel his warmth.


    "Where are you heading to?"


    "Abroad."


    He kissed the top of her head, his gaze dimmed, and his arms tightened slightly as he hugged her.


    "Don’t worry, I''ll be back soon."


    When he was about to leave, Daisie abruptly grabbed the hem of his sleeve and whispered, "Then you


    have to be more careful.And remember to reply to my messages on time.You’re not allowed to miss


    any of them."


    The second half of the sentence was uttered with a little hint of dissatisfaction.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Noce held her chin in his palm and lifted her face slightly —her fair and delicate face had almost no


    pores and looked as pleasing to the eyes as a painting.


    "You have my word." She snorted.


    "Don’t lie to me." Noce kissed her on the lips.


    After a short but intimate moment, it was time for the two to part ways.


    Noce ran his finger over her lips before leaving.


    "Be good."


    Her cheeks were flushed like a tomato as he coaxed her as if he was coaxing a child.


    "I know."


    Noce went back into the car.Edison was sitting in the driver''s seat and looked at him through the


    rearview mirror.


    "Sir, do you really want to go to Haniston? Will it be dangerous?"
