Chapter 1811


    “Odd?” Daniel narrowed his eyes. “What exactly do you mean?”


    “Just… just a feeling I have,” Chris said quietly. “Have you had any recent dealings with the Newhouse


    Group? If so, I suggest you take it slow.”


    Daniel looked at Chris. A special forces soldier’s intuition was usually urate. If Chris was mentioning


    a problem, it must be significant.


    “Yes,” he replied in a deep voice. “I have two coborations with the Newhouse Group but haven’t


    signed any agreements. I’m currently investigating them in secret.”


    Chris was taken aback. “Uncle Daniel, you suspect…”


    “I suspect irregr financial transactions within the Newhouse Group, not specifically Jodie. Why do


    you feel something’s off about her?”


    Chris organized his thoughts and summarized his previous encounter with Jodie, as well as her being


    with Maisie’s mother.


    “She’s a wealthy heiress. Why would she be with Maisie’s mom and even appear at the rehab center at


    the same time? Isn’t that strange?” Chris spoke frankly. “That day, I happened to visit myrade, and


    later, I asked him about them. Myrade said… the name they registered to visit was Owen Squire!”

    “Jodie visiting Owen?” Daniel found it incredulous.


    “Yeah, that’s what I can’t figure out. What’s the connection between them?”


    Daniel fell silent, his expression even more somber than before.


    He patted Chris’s shoulder, thanked him for the information, and asked him to go upstairs first. Then he


    stood downstairs, smoking.


    His mind was scattered, filled with scenes since he met Maisie.


    She had nothing, willing to sell herself to him for her family’s sake. She was willing to sacrifice


    everything for her family, but how did her family treat her in return?


    Cindy saw her as a cash cow, showing her no care from childhood. As for Owen, his vices included


    everything, and he had caused her to miscarry for money, pushing her into the abyss.Books Chapters

    Only Nicole treated her slightly better, but that kindness was tinged with weakness. If Nicole couldn’t


    even protect herself, how could she protect her?


    Maisie had grown up in such an environment yet remained resilient and optimistic. Even when pushed


    into the mud, she managed to crawl out unyielding time after time.


    Was she truly rted to them? Hadn’t she herself said, “Sometimes, I really wonder if I’m truly my


    mother’s birth daughter!”


    Daniel’s heart clenched, his finger slightly burned by the cigarette. He suddenly snapped out of his


    thoughts and hurriedly extinguished the cigarette.


    After everyone left, Daniel went upstairs alone.


    Maisie was tidying up in the kitchen. Seeing him, she first looked worried and then huffed augh.


    “Where did you go?” she called out to him. “Look at how many times I called you!”


    Only then did Daniel take out his phone. It was on silent. During the time he had been standing


    downstairs smoking, Maisie had called him more than ten times.


    “Daniel!” Maisie pinched his cheek. “Did you go to the other side of the world to buy snacks?”


    Also, where were the snacks? He came back empty-handed!


    Daniel looked apologetic, chuckling, as he embraced her.


    Maisie had already set up a bed for him in the study.


    Tigger seemed puzzled by his overnight stay, whining persistently at first. After a while, it got used to it,


    refusing to sleep in its own bed and insisting on sleeping on its dad’sp.


    With a few books in her hands, Maisie turned to close the door for him.


    “Thiste, and you’re still nning to read?” Daniel asked.


    “I want to write my new book soon, so I need a little more reading for inspiration.” She smiled. “Also,


    Toph just brought these sketches. I need to take a look.”
