Chapter 1697


    Cindy''s anger red up instantly. "What? What kind ofpany is this? Bullying others? Why are they


    targeting


    me?!"


    Amanda swiftly achieved the desired effect. She smiled and nced around, signaling that the hallway


    wasn''t the


    best ce for a heated conversation.


    "Ms. Leech, would you mind if we step inside to talk?" Amanda asked.


    Cindy wasted no time and ushered her inside. The ce turned out to be even smaller and more


    cluttered than


    Amanda had expected. The furniture was worn, and the grease on the stove was revolting.


    Amanda instinctively frowned, surprised that Maisie had grown up in such a ce.


    "Miss, please have a seat," Cindy offered with a big smile as she poured a ss of water. "Let''s talk."


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Amanda got straight to the point. "Ms. Leech, the demolitionpany is indeed viting regtions.


    I''ve been


    investigating this."


    Cindy, wiping away tears, nodded in agreement. "But now that things havee to this point, what can


    we


    ordinary folks do? We don''t even know which door to knock on at that demolitionpany!"


    "But your daughter might," Amanda suggested.


    "What are you saying?"


    Amanda smiled mysteriously while her eyes filled with suspicion. Did this olddy not know that her


    daughter was


    involved with Daniel again?


    "Ms. Leech, I won''t beat around the bush," Amanda said in a low voice. "The one responsible for this


    demolition


    project is the Quimby Group... You should be familiar with that name, right?"


    Cindy was stunned and remained silent for a long time.


    "Ms. Leech, from what I know, your daughter... Didn''t she have a past with Daniel, the CEO of the


    Quimby Group?"


    "No, no..." Cindy''s face turned pale, and she vehemently denied it. "There was nothing, nothing at all!"


    "Ma''am, don''t deny it!" Amanda insisted. "Many people know about the history between Daniel and


    your daughter!"


    "You..." Cindy sprang up, staring at Amanda as if she had seen a ghost.


    Since Maisie''s ident, Daniel''s name had be taboo in the Squires. Cindy, who had witnessed


    Maisie''s tragic


    situation, had found the little maternal love left in her and dared not let Maisie get close to Daniel again.


    She hoped Maisie could forget the past and find another wealthy man to continue her life. These past


    few days, she


    had been thinking of how to persuade Maisie to reconcile with Graham. However, someone had now


    come to tell


    her about knowing Daniel and Maisie''s past...


    Flustered, Cindy opened the door and pushed Amanda out, iming to know nothing.


    "Ma''am, think about it!" Cindy''s reaction took Amanda aback. "It''s just a matter of a few words from


    your daughter.


    Are you willing to let thepensation slip through your fingers?


    "I''ll continue to follow this matter. If you''re really treated unfairly by the Quimby Group, the media will


    stand up for


    you! Ma''am, does your daughter still have contact with Mr. Quimby?"


    "Get out!" Cindy abruptly opened the door and red at her. "You journalists without a trace of


    conscience, my


    daughter has finally forgotten the past and started anew. What are you trying to do now?!"


    Amanda froze. ''So... Maisie has amnesia? No wonder she can still stand by Daniel''s side as if nothing


    had


    happened!''
