Chapter 1765


    Maisie''s lips quivered, and she cast her gaze downward.


    Daniel sensed the tension and wanted to reach for her hands, but she coldly avoided his touch.


    She finally spoke after a prolonged silence, with the wind whispering around them. "We can never be


    together


    again, Daniel."


    Although Daniel had anticipated those words, they pierced him, causing an ache in his heart. Despite


    the mental


    preparation, the reality of her deration stung.


    Forcing a smile, he nodded and attempted onest plea. "I-I know I''m not worthy of your forgiveness


    for my past


    actions, but I''m willing to make amends. That''s my sincere desire. You can either ept or reject it, but


    I''ll do my

    best—"


    "No need," she cut him off, turning her back. "Your efforts now are merely to ease your conscience. You


    didn''t


    cherish me when I loved you most, nor did you value our child. There''s no need for such gestures


    now."


    "Maisie—"


    "Do you understand the pain I feel every step I take here?!" Her tone intensified, her shoulders shaking


    with


    suppressed emotions.


    Although Daniel couldn''t see her face, he sensed her sobbing and felt helpless inforting her.


    He was desperate to console her and yearned to embrace her, but, as she had pointed out, the


    opportunity had


    slipped away.


    As she turned to leave, he remained frozen, his hair tousled by the breeze, the bouquet of daisies


    swaying slightly.


    Time passed unnoticed until he received a call from his subordinate upon entering his car.


    "Sir."


    "How is it?"


    "We''ve been tailing Cam for the past few days, but no new developments. The police station didn''t


    yield any


    useful information either. Sir, should we continue surveince?"


    Daniel fell into contemtive silence.


    His subordinate continued. "I personally think it''s unnecessary. There''s no clue on her side. Perhaps


    what happened


    to Yvette really had nothing to do with her. Also, although she''s an adoptive daughter, she''s your


    uncle''s child. If we


    alert the enemy—"


    Daniel coughed hard, and his subordinate stopped halfway.


    Daniel understood what his subordinate was trying to convey. Having them follow Cam might seem


    like he was


    going against his uncle. If it alerted him, he could gain leverage over Daniel at the board of directors''


    meeting.


    However, Daniel had a backup of his uncle''s suspicious ount. He had not disclosed it to anyone, not


    even the


    person he trusted the most.


    He was cautious, having cultivated the habit of meticulousness during his years as the head of the


    company. He


    wouldn''t reveal anything until everything was ready.


    However, Cam had exposed the past to Maisie before he could execute his n, and that angered


    him.


    "Sir?" His subordinate panicked upon hearing nothing from him.


    Daniel took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Continue to follow her."


    "Okay..."


    "There must be something up with her!"


    Cam arrived at a rundownmunity after disguising herself.
