Chapter 1820


    “I’ll go get you a pair of ts to change into,” Daniel offered.


    “No, thanks!” She quickly grabbed him. With today’s dress, high heels were the perfect match! “Don’t


    worry. I can endure it.”


    “Okay then.” Daniel teased, “I’ll take you home after this. If you can’t walk, I can carry you to bed…”


    Maisie blushed and pinched him hard, making him burst intoughter.


    It was then Daniel’s assistant approached quietly and said something to him.


    Daniel nodded and turned to Maisie. “Let’s go. I’ll introduce you to someone.”


    “What?”


    He didn’t answer, just took her hand and led her to a middle-aged man.


    Maisie was a bit puzzled. The man was talking to someone with his back turned to them. He stood


    upright, maintaining an elegant posture. His voice was loud and charismatic while conversing with


    others.


    As he turned around, Maisie got a clear view of his face. Despite being middle-aged, he was still


    graceful, with a few strands of white hair at his temples, not making him seem old but adding to his


    charm.


    “Mr. Quimby!” He warmly shook Daniel’s hand.


    Daniel gently put his arm around Maisie’s shoulder. “Mr. Newhouse, this is my fiancee, Maisie Squire.


    Maisie, this is Harvey’s father, Mr. Wilfred Newhouse.”


    In the split second their eyes met, Wilfred suddenly froze, his gaze lingering on Maisie’s face for a


    while. It wasn’t until Daniel cleared his throat twice that he withdrew his gaze, awkwardly forcing a

    Daniel smiled. “Mr. Newhouse, my fiancee is also a writer, and her book has recently been on the


    bestseller list.”


    “Oh…” Wilfred snapped back. “Yes, I’ve heard about it. Ms. Squire is young and talented, with a


    promising future.”


    “You’re too kind, Mr. Newhouse,” Maisie politely replied. “I know my qualifications aren’t enough to


    attend this grand event. If it weren’t for Daniel, I wouldn’t have the chance to meet you and so many


    outstanding seniors.”


    Wilfred smiled, his gaze seeming to hold something different.


    “Wilfred!” Suddenly, a voice came from nearby. “Oh, you just can’t take your eyes off whenever you see


    a beautiful young girl, can you?”


    Maisie was stunned and turned toward the voice, only to find Delh in front of her.


    Delh was exceptionally morous today, wearing a golden dress with a matching shawl. She stood


    out even among female celebrities.


    Delh’s gaze wasn’t very friendly, and a hint of mockery apanied her smile. She nced at


    Daniel, then at Maisie. “Just a joke. Ms. Squire won’t take offense, will you?”


    Maisie frowned but didn’t respond.


    “Ms. Squire is gorgeous,” Delh said with a smile, “Men can’t take their eyes off her, especially the


    older ones. Isn’t that right, Wilfred?”


    “You…” Wilfred red at her, shooting her a look to say that Daniel was just beside them. “What


    nonsense are you spouting?!”


    However, Delh wasn’t buying it.


    “Youth is indeed beautiful! People like us are past our prime. No matter how shy we dress, who


    would even look at us?


    “Ms. Squire, you should pay more attention to maintenance. Otherwise, when you reach my age, it’ll be
