Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 1611 - Bab 1620

"What?"Daniel turned to look at Persephone. He patted her head and lifted her up. "I'll take you home, Sephy.""Are you going somewhere else?" Persephone asked."I want to go to the theme park," Daniel replied.Persephone cheered. "I'm coming too!""I'm sorry, Sephy," he said, looking at her, "I can't take you with me today. I'd like to be alone."Persephone felt down but didn't make a fuss. She understood that her beloved granduncle was having a tough day.'Is it because of Ms. Maisie?' Persephone recalled how she used to be rewarded with snacks every time she shared information about Maisie with him. She figured she could brighten his mood by revealing a secret about her teacher.She leaned in close to his ear. "Granduncle, let me tell you something about Ms. Maisie..."She emphasized, "The prince is coming back!""What?" His expression changed, as she expected."It's true." Persephone nodded. "She told me herself when we were buying sauce. The prince is returning to disc

A few days later, Daniel's subordinate handed him an invitation and Fat Lawler's information."This Fat Lawler has been running Cumulus City's underworld. His influence in Centrolis is minor, but he has been infiltrating Centrolis in recent years."Daniel casually flipped through the file, "So, did he succeed?""Not really." His subordinate smiled. "You know that Centrolis is your brother-in-law's territory. Even though Nic is no longer in the underworld, his sway is much greater than Fat Lawler's. But there's one thing...""What is it?""Fat Lawler is smart to be cozying up to the kingpins in Centrolis. As Nic is no longer a part of the underworld, they no longer belong to the same world, and he has to abide by their rules. Although he's influential, he can't meddle in the underworld."Also, Fat Lawler's business primarily revolves around casinos and providing loans. Whether in Cumulus City or Centrolis, he has a piece of the pie in both casinos and providing loans businesses.

Maisie hadn't seen Daniel outside the kindergarten for a few days. Instead, it was the Hamertons' nanny and bodyguards who came to pick up Persephone.She didn't know why, but she would instinctively look for him as soon as school was over. She told herself it was wrong. However, she couldn't shake Daniel from her mind as if she was bewitched.As she opened the door to the apartment, the door across from her opened, revealing Graham with a smile on his face. He walked toward her."I... I don't have a kettle here. Can I have a cup of tea at your place?" he asked.She nodded and let him in. She made a pot of Ceylon tea but noticed his frown when she brought it out."What's wrong?" she asked."I..." He hesitated. "I never drink this tea."She was stunned. Indeed, she had never found out what he liked. Meanwhile, Daniel had drunk this tea when he came the other day. She flushed, feeling guilty.Maisie was about to make him a new one, but Graham grabbed her."Maisie, can we talk?"

The next day, Maisie hesitated but eventually decided to call Daniel.Her heart raced when the call connected, and she felt nervous hearing Daniel's deep, electric voice on the other end."Maisie?" Daniel suppressed his joy, keeping his tone flat. "Why did you call?""I heard about what happened with my sister," she said, "I know you helped. I'm grateful.""Oh, it's nothing." He played it cool. "Fat Lawler and my brother-in-law go way back. I was just catching up for him."She mustered her courage and said, "Mr. Quimby, let me treat you to a meal just like before. You come to my place, and I'll cook."Daniel's heart almost jumped out.He was over the moon. He wanted to say yes, but his rationality kicked in.In the end, he suppressed his emotions.He pretended to be calm and said, "No need."Maisie was disappointed but tried again. "It's actually my sister who initiated this. She's grateful for you. Not only did you help her clear her debt, but you also helped her get a divor

Daniel hesitated at first, but his mouth had already agreed before he realized it."Sephy, where's the place for trying on the wedding dresses?" Daniel asked.Persephone momentarily pondered and replied, "It's on the city's south side, at a studio."Daniel nodded.-After returning home, Daniel managed to piece together the location based on Persephone's fragmented information. It turned out to be a high-end bridal brand renowned both in Centrolis and internationally.Daniel smiled cynically as he thought that this probably wasn't the place Graham had found. It seemed likely that the heir to the Bayer family had been directed by his parents to choose a wedding dress there. After all, a man who split living expenses probably wouldn't be keen on spending so much money.-On the weekend, in the south of Centrolis.Graham and Maisie arrived at the bridal store on time.Persephone, who was seeing these exquisite gowns for the first time, excitedly hopped among the colorful dresses
