Chapter 1777


    "Justice?" Daniel''s gaze sharpened, resembling that of a hawk, as he red at her. "Your so-called


    justice doesn''t


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    involve confronting your adoptive parents or your younger siblings. Instead, it targets Maisie!


    "The object of your revenge isn''t someone stronger than you—it''s aimed at the weak!"


    While Daniel had a policy of not harming women, he was pushed beyond his limits this time.


    He understood that what Cam mentioned was merely a trigger. Over the years, the Quimbys owed


    her for not


    showing adequate care and love. As the leader of the group, he couldn''t attend to such trivial matters.


    However, Cam attributed all these grievances to Maisie. She didn''t dare retaliate against Chace and


    Nadine due


    to herst shred of hope for family. Going against her younger siblings risked her adoptive parents''


    wrath. She


    could only look up to Daniel and dare not do anything else.


    But when she witnessed someone as vulnerable as Maisie being cherished by Daniel, all the


    resentment


    umted over the years erupted like a volcano. Her jealousy, akin to scorching magma, burned


    away her


    reason.


    "Why?" Cam fearlessly met Daniel''s gaze. "Why can she live so well and not me? Her family is even


    more


    unfortunate! She has a mother and brother who leech on her, a worthless brother-inw, and a weak


    sister. They


    all rely on her alone! Even with all that, why does she get to live better than me? Why?!"


    "You''re utterly unreasonable!"


    Daniel stood up, his iron grip tightening around Cam''s neck. His veins bulged, eyes filled with intense


    hatred to


    tear her apart!


    Yet, he couldn''t bring himself to kill her.


    Cam chuckled. "Kill... me!"


    She stuttered, "If you dare... just kill me!"


    "You think I dare not?"


    "You... wouldn''t!" Cam struggled to breathe—her hands desperately clutched Daniel''s wrist, and her


    eyes almost


    popped out.


    "Daniel, you wouldn''t... If you kill someone, you''ll pay the price... Heh! If you end up in prison, Maisie


    will... suffer


    outside! Could you let that happen? Hahaha..."


    Daniel tightened his grip but couldn''t follow through. He felt like he had walked into a dead end, trapped


    between


    advancing and retreating.


    Suddenly, the door flung open.


    Startled, Daniel turned and saw Maisie standing at the doorway. She was trembling all over, almost


    unable to stand,


    and her face was extremely pale. Despite that, her eyes radiated unparalleled strength.


    Daniel abruptly let go and then looked at the bodyguards. Some tried to stop Maisie, but she swiftly


    drew a gun


    from one of the guards and pressed it against Cam''s head!


    "Maisie!" Daniel was shocked.


    Maisie''s hand trembled, tears streaming down her face.


    "Maisie, don''t..."


    Daniel rushed to her and held her tightly, meeting her ice-cold hands as he fumbled.


    "I want... to kill her." Maisie''s voice trembled.


    "I know..."


    Maisie was hysterical, struggling like a mad woman. "I want to kill her myself—"


    "Maisie!" Daniel firmly held her hand, preventing her from pulling the trigger.


    The room was filled with Maisie''s screams and cries.


    Daniel felt like he was back in those days when Maisie was hurt physically and mentally, barely herself.


    His heart felt like it was breaking.


    "Maisie, calm down..." Daniel kissed her hair, trying to soothe her. He softly spoke in her ear. "Your


    hands are clean.


    It''s not worth it for someone like her!"


    Maisie''s grip loosened, and the gun fell to the floor. She seemed drained of all strength, copsing in


    Daniel''s arms


    and sobbing inconsbly.
