Chapter 1713


    Daniel''s expression darkened. If this matter was exposed by someone with an ulterior motive, not only


    would Leroy


    be held legally ountable, but Maisie might not escape me either. After all, the email had been


    sent from


    Leroy''s ount and Maisie had been the only recipient.


    Daniel immediately understood the gravity of the situation.


    "Maisie, go back and pack your things. I''ll find another ce for you to stay. In the meantime, avoid


    meeting


    anyone and don''t answer any calls from unfamiliar numbers. Leave this matter to me."


    "You don''t need to worry." Maisie chuckled and reached out to caress his cheek. "I didn''t answer the


    questions,


    actually."


    "What?"


    "When I looked at the first question, I thought it was a coincidence. But as I continued, things felt more


    and more


    unusual," she exined. "I only answered a small portion of the first paper. During the interview, I didn''t


    respond


    the way I had prepared. I just rambled, and the interviewers shook their heads at me."


    Daniel paused for a few seconds and then burst intoughter. His eyes glinted with pleasant surprise.


    He hadn''t


    expected that this formerly innocent rabbit would transform into a clever cat armed with sharp ws,


    perfectly


    capable of protecting herself.


    "Even so, you may be suspected, and that email remains evidence."


    "I know," she replied in a low voice. "But it''s the best way I could think of to protect myself."


    Daniel held her in his arms and kissed her soft cheek.


    "Don''t worry, you did great." His voice was deep. "Leave the rest to me."


    "How will you handle it?"


    "That email is obviously an issue," Daniel asserted. "I suspect it might be the work of someone who has


    a vendetta


    against Leroy. He''s been in the field for years, after all, so he must have offended numerous people.


    Maybe


    someone who has it out for him wants to make a fuss out of this.


    "But they also sent the email to you." Daniel looked at Maisie. "This is unusual. That person is also out


    to get you!"


    For the past couple of days, there had been no news from Leroy. Daniel couldn''t even get in touch with


    him.


    However, Leroy''swyer came to see them two dayster.


    "Mr. Quimby!" Thewyer appeared a bit agitated. "Mr. Kerk has been taken away for questioning due


    to a tip-off


    regarding an exam question leak."


    "Mm." Daniel remainedposed, as he had expected this.


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


    "Mr. Quimby, Mr. Kerk has been wrongfully used," thewyer stated. "I''ve been discussing this with


    him for the


    past couple of days, and we''ve been investigating the matter. He sent those exam questions to an


    email before, but


    his ount was hacked."


    "Someone hacked Leroy''s ount?"


    "Yes!"


    "Have you identified the hacker?"


    Thewyer shook his head. "That''s proving to be quite challenging, so it will take time."


    "Have you checked if Leroy''s email was used to send the questions to anyone else?"


    "There was only one email address. There were no others."


    Daniel''s expression shifted subtly. Someone had hacked Leroy''s ount with the intention of leaking


    the exam


    questions to Maisie. As he''d suspected, this person was targeting both Leroy and Maisie. This meant


    that the person


    probably had a vendetta against Maisie, not Leroy.


    "Mr. Quimby, regarding this issue..."
