Chapter 1743


    Lily considered it for a moment and honestly told him, "Your little rabbit''s manuscript didn''t pass again.


    It needs


    further revisions."


    "I know." Daniel''s voice was low. "So, what exactly are your standards for publishing books? Also, I


    came across a...


    strange passage. I don''t understand what''s going on."


    Lily didn''t know what he meant by that. As a boss, she couldn''t read every book cover to cover.


    Sometimes, she


    only sampled a small portion, moving on to the next stage if everything seemed fine.


    "What passage?" she asked in confusion. "No one has informed me! Have you read her manuscript?


    Do you find it


    strange too?"


    "I..." Daniel hesitated. After all, that part of the past was a wound for Maisie and a scar he found hard to


    heal.


    Although Lily was aware of Maisie''s troubled history, she wasn''t familiar with the specific details. Daniel


    didn''t want


    to make things too clear to her.


    "Never mind," he said in a low voice. "Maybe Ick artistic appreciation and can''t understand literature.


    But I know


    Maisie has revised it many times, and this is the second time I''ve found her up sote to do so!"


    "Oh..." Lily pondered this. "Well, despite all those revisions, her manuscript still didn''t pass."


    "Why?"


    "When ites to such professional matters, I don''t have the final say," Lily admitted. "After all, Cam


    is Maisie''s


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    editor, and her opinion carries a lot of weight. But personally, I don''t think there''s a big issue with


    Maisie''s book. I''ve


    said it before, it won''t top the bestseller list, but it has a good chance of gathering a small group of die-


    hard fans!"


    "So... does she need to keep making changes?"


    Lily sighed. "This is why I called you. The issue is, how well do you know your cousin? She''s worked


    for several


    publishingpanies before and she has some achievements under her belt. Was her work style


    always like this?


    Was she always so... obsessed with perfection and satisfaction?


    "Daniel, if that''s the case, we might fall behind schedule. I''ve already contacted various channels and


    set a


    publishing date. We''re just waiting for this book to be released!"


    Daniel contemted it.


    Lily had left him in a state of doubt. Although Cam was his cousin, he had never paid attention to this


    particr


    family member. Or rather, Cam had no noteworthy characteristics in the Quimby family.


    She had an innocent appearance and she was usually reserved. At family gatherings, while other


    younger rtives


    sought favor with the elders, she''d always kept her distance.


    What kind of ulterior motive could a person like her possibly have?


    Yet, it was precisely people like her who gave Daniel an indescribable sense of unease.


    He involuntarily recalled that one time when Cam had taken the initiative to mention the encounter


    between her


    and Owen... Had she really been "honest"?


    Daniel narrowed his eyes. After hanging up on Lily, he called his assistant.


    "Mr. Quimby, any instructions for me?"


    "Last time I asked you to keep an eye on Owen. Any progress?"


    His assistant pondered the question for a moment. "There''s been nothing so far. He''s been quite well-


    behaved


    "Did he meet Cam?"


    "Only once."


    Daniel nodded, his voice deep. "Add a couple more people and continue to watch them."


    "Mr. Quimby, is there something up with Owen that we haven''t noticed?"


    "He might not be the one with the issue, but Cam." However, without concrete evidence, Daniel


    couldn''t jump to


    conclusions. "Just do as I say. If there''s any news, inform me immediately!"
