"Take Ms. Maisie for a stroll on the island, Daniel." Whitney stood up, her elegant tone tinged with laziness. "I've prepared the guest room for the two of you. You can stay for a few days if you'd like. Your uncle and I will try our best to accommodate you. I'd like to rest now, so I won't be having dinner with you. Suit yourself!"As Daniel moved to follow her, he noticed Maisie looking visibly upset. He sighed as this was not what he had anticipated. Their first meeting had ended in a quarrel."Don't take it personally, Maisie," he comforted. "My aunt takes time to warm up to people. She's like this with everyone she meets for the first time. You'll find out after spending some time with her.""That's right," a kind-looking old man interjected. "Ignore her, Ms. Maisie! Women in menopause are like that!"Daniel chuckled, giving the old man a big hug. "Uncle!"Toby Edwards patted his shoulder, admiration filling his eyes. He was an upbeat and majestic old man, yet he didn't seem

Toby, however, knew that Whitney regretted what she had done."Anya ruined her bright future for… Wilfred!" Tears welled in her eyes whenever she brought up the past."It was me who got her the opportunity to study abroad. Not only would she have attended a prestigious school, but she also would have collaborated with a couple of international screenwriters. Everything would have been different when she returned. She disappointed me!"But I…" She sobbed, saying, "I was too cruel to her. Why did I do that to my own student? I should have visited her. I wasn't there for her when she needed me the most, when she was most helpless. I was a terrible teacher!""Don't say that." Toby patted her shoulder. "You were really good to her.""If she wasn't held up by love, she would have been more powerful than Delilah in the industry!""That's right!" Toby smiled. "How could the students of the famous writer be any less than Delilah?""Of course!" She sat up straight. "Any of my students are

"This is your aunt's house!" Maisie sounded genuine. "We can't do this in a senior's house…"Daniel was stunned."Can't you tell why she arranged two rooms for us?" She poked him gently. "Behave yourself and go to bed now! We should behave here. Your aunt might have a bad impression of me because of the past, so I don't want to make things worse…"He smiled helplessly and got up unwillingly. He rolled off the bed.Maisie was right. He was being absurd and had not thought things through.He was glad that she was sensible.After leaving, Daniel did not return to his room right away. Instead, he paced back and forth in the corridor. He could not sleep, so he took a cold shower before returning to the corridor again.He was confused about his exuberant energy that came out of nowhere. Just as he was sighing, his aunt's bright voice suddenly sounded behind him."What's wrong with you? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and making a wish to the moon?"Daniel turned

Whitney's expression shifted.As she pondered, there was indeed something within the interlayer! She retrieved it and found a folded note revealing a bank name and a series of numbers when unfolded."What's this now?" She was perplexed.Cumulus Bank, a local bank, had its headquarters adjacent to the Quimby Group. Due to the Quimby Group's ownership, it was often referred to as the Quimbys' treasure.But what did the series of numbers signify?She fell into a momentary silence before carefully stowing away the note. Returning to her room, she decided to discuss it with Toby.-The Newhouses' banquet unfolded as scheduled.The Newhouses' hotel was abuzz with activity, hosting the elites of Cumulus City.Wilfred skillfully played the role of the perfect host.Besides him, Maisie was the center of attention.All eyes were on the young author who had already produced a best-selling book. The film funded by Wilfred was an adaptation of her work, and he had appointed her as the sc

Daniel gently wrapped his arm around Maisie's shoulder, embracing her. "Did my aunt make things difficult for you?""No!" Maisie hurriedly replied, "Someone was saying bad things about me, and Ms. Kinglake helped me out.""Oh?""I feel... I wasn't imagining things." Maisie smiled sheepishly. "I think Ms. Kinglake actually likes me...""Of course!"Daniel and Maisie exchanged smiles. The weight on their hearts dissipated like clouds gradually fading, soon to see the light.The Hamerton heirs also attended the banquet, except Lina, who was absent due to being in her later pregnancy stage.Zuko held Persephone's hand throughout, displaying his unconditional love for his daughter in front of everyone.Toph remained sociable, getting along with everyone. Wherever he was, laughter and joy rang out from time to time.However, today was a bit different. He had a new company by his side… Harvey followed him silently. Whenever he noticed charming or sweet women approaching Toph, he imme
