Chapter 1698


    Amanda bit her lip as a thought suddenly crossed her mind. Would Maisie still be with Daniel if she


    knew why she


    had amnesia in the first ce?


    While lost in thought, Cindy closed the door with a loud bang.


    Amanda gazed at the door with a mysterious smile, then turned to leave. -


    That night, Cindy couldn''t sleep, tossing and turning in bed. Memories of the past events yed in her


    mind like a


    movie. Despite treating her daughter as a source of money for all these years, guilt gripped her heart


    when she


    learned that Maisie had lost her child, suffered mentally, and couldn''t even remember who Daniel was.


    After all, she had raised Maisie for so many years. Even if one raised a cat or a dog, they would


    develop feelings for


    them...


    In fact, when Amanda revealed that the Quimby Group managed the demolition project, Cindy was


    swayed. She


    considered convincing Maisie to seek Daniel''s help, even if it meant sacrificing herself once again. In


    the end, her


    remaining maternal love overcame her extreme selfishness.


    She wanted Maisie to find a wealthy man, but Daniel was not the only wealthy man in this world. She


    didn''t want to


    throw Maisie into the fire pit again.


    Cindy sighed deeply, her eyes welling up. Eventually, she fell into a restless sleep. -


    The next day, she headed to the Quimby Group. Before arriving, she called Daniel. She had saved that


    number for


    many years but had never dialed it and hadn''t dared to.


    Daniel''s office was spacious and grand. When the assistant ushered her in, it felt like entering a pce.


    The owner


    of this pce gazed at her with a cold, sharp look.


    "M-Mr. Quimby..." Cindy humbly bowed.


    Daniel''s expression remained calm as he set aside the documents in his hand. "What do you need?"


    His imposing presence made Cindy tremble uncontrobly. After a brief silence, she mustered her


    courage and


    spoke tremblingly. "I... I came today to confirm if you are... with our Maisie again?"


    Daniel smiled faintly, tacitly confirming her statement. However, her visit today caught him off guard. He


    thought


    she hade to demandpensation for Maisie.


    Cindy felt an urge to kneel before him. "Mr. Quimby, please have mercy on her... Maisie has suffered


    enough in the


    past. She''s finally started anew. Will you—"


    "Have mercy?" Daniel''s voice was frigid. "Are you even qualified to talk about having mercy? Have you


    ever shown


    any to her?"


    "Well—"


    "Your entire family has exploited her!"


    Cindy''s heart raced, and she remained frozen, unable to utter another word.


    "I did mistreat her in the past, but where did that leave you?" Daniel red at her. "I''m willing to do


    everything I can


    to make amends for her now.


    "What about you? As a mother, have you ever considered what''s best for your daughter? When you


    wanted to


    leave all your assets to your son, did you ever think about your daughter?"


    Cindy stood there, speechless and terrified.


    "I''m targeting you regarding the demolition." Daniel lowered his voice. "But the change in the blueprint


    does save


    some cost. Money is not my concern. I just want to advocate for Maisie and teach you a lesson!"


    Cindy now understood that she wouldn''t receivepensation or a new house. She nodded and


    turned away dully,


    but Daniel stopped her.


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


    "You came earlier than I expected," he said indifferently. "Not many people know that the Quimby


    Group is handling


    the demolition project, so... who leaked this information to you?"
