Chapter 1858


    Whitney’s expression shifted.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    As she pondered, there was indeed something within the inteyer! She retrieved it and found a folded


    note revealing a bank name and a series of numbers when unfolded.


    “What’s this now?” She was perplexed.


    Cumulus Bank, a local bank, had its headquarters adjacent to the Quimby Group. Due to the Quimby


    Group’s ownership, it was often referred to as the Quimbys’ treasure.


    But what did the series of numbers signify?


    She fell into a momentary silence before carefully stowing away the note. Returning to her room, she


    decided to discuss it with Toby.


    –


    The Newhouses’ banquet unfolded as scheduled.


    The Newhouses’ hotel was abuzz with activity, hosting the elites of Cumulus City.


    Wilfred skillfully yed the role of the perfect host.


    Besides him, Maisie was the center of attention.


    All eyes were on the young author who had already produced a best-selling book. The film funded by


    Wilfred was an adaptation of her work, and he had appointed her as the screenwriter—an umon


    opportunity for a novice author.


    This drew both envy and suspicion.


    Gossip started among the attendees. “Have you read her book?”


    “Yes… It’s just gibberish. It’s dumb!”


    “But Mr. Newhouse loves it!”


    “Isn’t this Maisie’s usual tactic?” A woman giggled, intentionally lowering her voice but still audible.


    “She clings to men to get ahead! It was Daniel at first, and now Wilfred. She’s into older men. She has


    a peculiar taste!”


    “Old men are rich and sweet. What’s wrong with that?” Someoneughed. “Also, men’s stamina in bed


    drops as soon as they’re past 35… Maisie gets fame and money, yet she doesn’t have to work hard in


    bed. She sure is wise! Hahaha…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

    “But she’s still dating Daniel! So that makes him a cuckold. I don’t understand why he’d do that!” Maisie


    was standing nearby, and she heard their discussion loud and clear.


    Daniel was entertaining some business friends that he had run into. She did not expect to hear


    something so horrible while waiting for him. She trembled from anger, her face turning pale.


    Just as she was thinking of how to deal with those women, a bright voice interrupted them.


    “You don’t understand? You can ask me!”


    Maisie was stunned when she saw Whitney in a gown, walking over with a ss of wine.


    After they locked eyes, Whitney turned around, protecting Maisie behind her.


    At that very moment, Maisie had the urge to cry.


    The women fell silent upon seeing Whitney. They exchanged awkward nces, revealing forced


    smiles.


    Everyone knew how powerful she was, and her overbearing charisma silenced those women.


    Whitney smiled at them. “Freya, Georgina, and Danielle, what don’t you understand? Is it about… my


    Daniel? Ha, solving confusion is my favorite thing to do!


    “Moreover, I know my nephew very well! I’ll tell you everything I know. I’ll answer all of your questions.


    How’s that?”
