Chapter 1813


    “I see.” Daniel’s expression shifted when a thought suddenly struck him.


    He spent the night with Maisie, sorting through the plot and the sketches. By the time he returned to the


    study, Tigger was already fast asleep on his nket. He chuckled softly, nudging Tigger aside, but


    tossed and turned in bed.


    Maisie’s words, “I’m the only healthy one in our family”, echoed in his mind.


    A sudden thought shed through his mind—could Jodie not be the real heiress of the Newhouses?


    Could it be someone else? –


    Daniel arranged to meet with Chris and Lena at the five-star hotel under the Quimby Group on that


    particr day.


    “Uncle Daniel, you’re being too nice! You’ve already treated us. Why again today?”


    Daniel was taken aback. Who else, if not Toph, had such carefreeughter?


    Chris and Lena exchanged smiles, apologizing, “Zuko is with his family, so he sticks with us!”


    “What?! You’re making it sound like I’m a single guy…” Toph was upset. “I’m married too, you know?”


    Daniel smiled. “Since you’re here, I’ll make sure to host properly. Toph, they’ve added some new


    dishes to the buffet here. You should take a look.”


    “Alright!”


    Once Toph was out of earshot, Chris asked in a hushed tone, “Uncle Daniel, did you invite us here for


    something specific?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “Yeah.” Daniel smiled as talking to sharp-minded folks was effortless. “Chris, you probably told Lena


    about that incident, right?”


    Chris immediately caught on. Daniel was referring to the event at the rehab center. He nodded and


    looked at Lena.


    “Lena is no stranger, and she’s sharp. It’s good she knows,” Daniel said softly. “So, I wanted to share


    my thoughts today and get your opinion.”


    “Go ahead!”


    “I suspect that Jodie isn’t from the Newhouses.”


    Daniel’s voice was low, but he didn’t finish the second half—he also suspected that the real heiress of


    the Newhouses was elsewhere, writing in that small apartment!


    Chris and Lena exchanged nces.


    After a moment of silence, Lena replied, “I strongly agree with your judgment.”

    Daniel looked up in slight surprise.


    Lena calmly analyzed, “When Chris mentioned it to me, I already felt something was off. Someone of


    Jodie’s status shouldn’t have any connection with Maisie’s mother and brother. Their meeting only


    indicates one possibility—that there’s some kind of rtionship between them.”


    “That day at the rehab center, I personally saw Jodie pushing Maisie’s mother.” Chris continued. “One


    is lucky to have escaped without being ckmailed around an olddy who’s shoved, yet Maisie’s


    mother didn’t pursue it, just kept saying how miserable her life was… Perhaps she’s unable to voice


    her suffering because her own daughter pushed her?”


    Daniel’s eyes lit up. “So, we’re on the same page!”


    “We don’t know where the real Newhouse heiress is,” Lena said. “But this current Ms. Newhouse is


    definitely worth investigating.”


    Daniel nodded and then smiled at Lena. “I’m afraid I might need your help with this matter.”


    “What? Me?”
