Chapter 1712


    He knew that Maisie was reserved by nature and wouldn''t appreciate him parking an extravagant car


    right next to


    the exam site.


    He was also dressed as casually as possible, but his demeanor exuded a sense of calmposure,


    which helped


    Maisie spot him easily in the crowd.


    He waved to her. Since it was a cold day, he had brought a cashmere shawl for her, which he wrapped


    around her


    as soon as she emerged from the exam room. He held her small hand, trying to warm it with his breath.


    "Are you cold?"


    "I''m okay." Maisie smiled at him, but the smile was forced. The exam questions were still haunting her


    like an


    unshakable fog, obscuring her thoughts. They felt like a heavy stone pressing down on her heart,


    making it hard to


    breathe.


    Daniel inquired softly, "What would you like for lunch?"


    Maisie''s mind was clearly not on food.


    "You decide," she replied absentmindedly.


    "I know a really delicious Thai restaurant. Would you like to try it?"


    "Sure."


    "Or how about some Western cuisine?"


    "That''d work too."


    "Maisie." Daniel held her by the shoulders, squinting and smiling gently at her. "Why do I feel like you


    turned into a


    "You..." Maisie paused. "You don''t want to know how I did?"


    Seeing how gloomy she was, Daniel knew that she hadn''t done well. He ced his hands on her


    shoulders and


    stroked her face, his gaze affectionate. "Don''t dwell on the exam now that it''s over. Besides, it doesn''t


    really matter


    how you did. This isn''t the only opportunity you will get. You can always try again if this time doesn''t


    work out. You''ll


    achieve your dreams."


    "That''s not it!" Maisie sounded anxious but didn''t know how to exin further.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "On the contrary." She hesitated for a moment. "Daniel, I knew how to answer those questions! Even


    the interview


    questions were something I was prepared for..."


    "Isn''t that great?" Daniel beamed. "Then what are we waiting for? I''ll ask the club to prepare a


    celebration tonight!"


    "Daniel..." Maisie tugged on his hand with a troubled look.


    Daniel furrowed his brows, realizing that something might be amiss.


    "Alright, tell me. What exactly happened?"


    "I had seen those questions before!"

    In the car, Daniel''s expression was dark as he listened to Maisie recount the entire situation.


    "I initially thought those two sets of practice questions were just for. well, practice. But I only realized


    when I got to


    the exam that those questions were identical to the actual test questions! Even the interview questions


    were the


    same. They were all from those two sets of practice papers!"


    "Are you sure?" Daniel asked, looking at her. "Could the question types and problem-solving


    approaches have been


    simr?"


    "I''m sure," Maisie insisted. "They were identical, right down to the calction numbers!"


    Daniel''s expression turned serious. He immediately ordered his assistant to check the list of people


    who were


    responsible for creating the exam questions, and it didn''t take long for the assistant to provide him with


    a list that


    included Leroy.


    This wasn''t like Leroy!


    While Leroy might fear him, he would neverpromise his principles and use actual exam questions


    to curry


    favor with a woman!


    "Daniel, what''s going on?" Maisie frowned. "Did Mr. Kerk intentionally leak the exam questions? He


    could be held


    legally responsible for this, right?"
