Daniel's breath quickened, and warmth coursed through his body. In the past, he wouldn't have been so cautious around her, nor would he have kept this overwhelming feeling bottled up inside. Now...There was a wry smile on his face. The wheel of fate spun in mysterious ways!Maisie placed a piece of braised meat in his mouth and smiled at him. "No thinking of anything else while eating!""But..." He playfully held her hand. "I really want to stay here.""Not right now."He sighed.Even though it was the answer he had expected, her resolute response still made him feel disheartened."Alright." Daniel straightened up and obediently started eating. "By the way, how about I take you on a weekend getaway next week? Instead of studying all day at home, you need a change of scenery to clear your mind."Maisie smiled. "Where are we going?""To my private hot spring club.""You..." When Maisie heard this, the mischievous smile on his face told her immediately what was on his mind. Her

Daniel's expression darkened. If this matter was exposed by someone with an ulterior motive, not only would Leroy be held legally accountable, but Maisie might not escape blame either. After all, the email had been sent from Leroy's account and Maisie had been the only recipient.Daniel immediately understood the gravity of the situation."Maisie, go back and pack your things. I'll find another place for you to stay. In the meantime, avoid meeting anyone and don't answer any calls from unfamiliar numbers. Leave this matter to me.""You don't need to worry." Maisie chuckled and reached out to caress his cheek. "I didn't answer the questions, actually.""What?""When I looked at the first question, I thought it was a coincidence. But as I continued, things felt more and more unusual," she explained. "I only answered a small portion of the first paper. During the interview, I didn't respond the way I had prepared. I just rambled, and the interviewers shook their heads at me."Daniel

Lily pondered it. She had heard that Leroy had been taken in for questioning recently. Given the size of their industry and Leroy's prominent status, any minor changes in his life would become common knowledge in their circle. Furthermore, she had also heard… that Leroy was being framed.Lily observed the person in front of her. This was Leroy's star pupil, but now it seemed that Leroy had raised a tiger."Why, Ms. Winslade." Lily swirled her coffee. "Don't be so reserved. Don't you want to share this news with me?""It's not that..." Amanda chuckled awkwardly. "It's just that there's not much to say."Lily didn't press further, her gaze lingering on the handbag beside Amanda."Is this bag to your taste?""Of course, it's perfect!" Amanda replied excitedly. "It's a gift from you, Ms. Reyes, so how can it not be perfect? I use it every day. Only generous people like you can afford these brands. I've been thinking about your kindness and I wanted to reciprocate today, but you..."

At the police station, Daniel met Leroy, who appeared despondent. The formerly vibrant and prominent journalist now sat in a disheveled state. In just a few days, he had lost weight, his cheeks looked deeply hollow, and his face bore the marks of sleepless nights, such as the dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Daniel, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes, which quickly dimmed."Mr. Quimby...""It's going to be okay," Daniel reassured him in a low voice. "The legal team of Quimby Group has stepped in to work on your case. They are currently negotiating, so you should be able to get released on bail.""Mr. Quimby, I am truly innocent!" Leroy covered his face and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't know what happened. I haven't logged into that email account, and during the period before the exam, I barely visited my office. I mostly stayed at home.""I've verified everything." Daniel's voice was deep, and his gaze was intense. "Leroy, do you know who did this to you?"

"You..." Daniel's throat tightened. "What do you want to write about?""I don't know." Maisie smiled innocently, her soft hair nuzzling his chin. The sweet fragrance of her body wafted toward his nose.Daniel struggled to control himself, afraid to expose his feelings. He coughed discreetly to hide his embarrassment and gently pushed her away just a little, making sure not to give himself away."Well, if I do write a novel, I don't want to write about such a tragic story. I want to write about us," Maisie said, raising her head to look at him."About us?""Mm!" Maisie grinned innocently. "I want to include all the good things you've done for me.""What about the times I wasn't good to you?""When have you not been good to me?" Daniel felt a pang of guilt and hugged her."In the past…" he murmured. He had genuinely mistreated her in the past. He had treated her like a pet, summoning her whenever he pleased and disregarding her when he didn't.He had no idea how Maisie had man
