Chapter 1692


    The meeting ended quickly, and everyone else left, leaving only two journalists.


    One of them was Leroy Kerk, who had a close rtionship with Daniel, and the other was the woman


    who had been


    eyeing Maisie earlier.


    "You might not have remembered with so many people around earlier," Daniel reassured Maisie with a


    smile. "This


    is Leroy, a significant figure in this field, and we''re old friends."


    "And this..." Daniel paused. "She is Amanda Winde, the Editor-in-Chief of Cumulus Morning Post."


    Maisie politely nodded her head, but Amanda''s attitude remained icy. Maisie even sensed a hint of


    anger in


    Amanda''s eyes.


    "Alright, it''s gettingte," Leroy said with a smile. "I still have work to do, so I won''t disturb you and Ms.


    Squire.


    Amanda, are you leaving? I can give you a ride."


    "Sure," Amanda replied with a lightugh. "Mr. Quimby, we''ll be taking our leave."


    She only greeted Daniel andpletely ignored Maisie as if she were invisible.


    Maisie found this quite puzzling. Her first thought was whether she had made an enemy back when she


    was in


    Cumulus City.


    -


    Once they were outside, Leroy frowned as he looked at Amanda. "I''ve got to say, you were acting a bit


    strange just


    now."


    Amanda nced at him and smirked. "Strange? It seems I''m not the only one, am I?"


    Leroy knew what was on her mind. He had also been taken aback when he first saw Maisie.


    Back then, they had all assumed that Daniel was just ying around with the young girl and wouldn''t


    get


    emotionally involved. Who knew he would fall so deeply for her? Even after all they had been through,


    he still


    wanted to be with her.


    Amanda lowered her voice. "Leroy, Maisie is Daniel''s previous girlfriend, but she disappeared two


    years ago. How


    did Daniel bring her back?"


    "Hush, keep your voice down!" Leroy quickly pulled her to a spot further from the club. "Daniel''s people


    are still


    around here. Watch your words! If we provoke him, your news agency and mypany will be in big


    trouble!"


    Amanda crossed her arms and pouted, turning her face away.


    As the mentor who had once taught Amanda the ins and outs of journalism, Leroy understood her


    feelings, but he


    felt quite helpless about it.


    Amanda had a long-standing crush on Daniel, but no matter how she interacted with him under the


    pretext of


    interviews, he always treated her strictly professionally. However, her feelings for him only deepened.


    She no longer had any interest in other men and kept stalling romantic affairs, including marriage,


    making her still


    single in her 30s.


    Leroy didn''t want to see her like this. He had subtly tried to find out if Daniel had any romantic interest


    in her and


    received negative answers.


    However,ter on, they heard that Daniel had thepany of a female college student...


    Amanda didn''t believe it at first, thinking it was rumors by Daniel''s business rivals. However, when she


    saw Daniel


    kissing Maisie in front of the vi with her own eyes, something seemed to have exploded in her head.


    Daniel had bought that vi in secret. It was by Cumulus City''s river and oversaw the best riverview. It


    was also


    where he kept the girl.


    Later, Amanda began to investigate Maisie obsessively. The name "Maisie" became like a thorn


    embedded deeply in
