Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1698
Amanda bit her lip as a thought suddenly crossed her mind. Would Maisie still be with Daniel if she knew why she had amnesia in the first place? While lost in thought, Cindy closed the door with a loud bang.Amanda gazed at the door with a mysterious smile, then turned to leave. -That night, Cindy couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed. Memories of the past events played in her mind like a movie. Despite treating her daughter as a source of money for all these years, guilt gripped her heart when she learned that Maisie had lost her child, suffered mentally, and couldn't even remember who Daniel was. After all, she had raised Maisie for so many years. Even if one raised a cat or a dog, they would develop feelings for them...In fact, when Amanda revealed that the Quimby Group managed the demolition project, Cindy was swayed. She considered convincing Maisie to seek Daniel's help, even if it meant sacrificing herself once again. In the end, her remaining maternal love overc

Cindy couldn't bring herself to lie, so she gave Daniel a detailed account of Amanda's visit to her home.Daniel frowned slightly, deep in thought. He remembered Amanda as a highly competent individual. When the Cumulus Morning Post was on the brink of bankruptcy due to poor management, she had managed to turn it around. The newspaper not only retained a spot in the top three in annual subscriptions but also produced insightful news reports.Amanda excelled at building interpersonal relationships and had a strong reputation in the industry. Her close association with Leroy added to her credibility. Perhaps it was this high regard that got to her head.Daniel extinguished his cigarette with a cold snort and crushed it into the ashtray.-Several days later, he arranged another meeting with Leroy and Amanda at the same private club. This time, he arrived earlier than them.Guided by his bodyguards, Leroy and Amanda navigated the maze-like corridors to reach the innermost room. The

Daniel fell silent, then gently placed his cutlery down. Every move radiated authority, allowing no offense."I know both of you are media figures. A few words or articles from you can damage someone's reputation. But I'm used to getting my way!"Daniel's voice was low, yet each word held weight. His gaze was equally sharp. "I'm not afraid of what anyone might say, but if anyone dares to harm my people, I won't hesitate to make their life miserable."Leroy, you know me, right?"Daniel patted Leroy's shoulder, nearly making the seasoned journalist tumble from his chair.Leroy stood with a pale face, his voice trembling. "I'm not sure where I've upset you, Mr. Quimby... Please, tell me!"Amanda couldn't relax either."Yes, Mr. Quimby." She quickly took out a watch and opened the box, placing it before Daniel. "This is a small gift from me. You've been friends with Leroy for years, so why can't we be straightforward? Besides... a word from you, and even I am ready to do anything fo

"Got it, got it." Amanda nodded quickly.Leroy felt terrified. After forcing down the wine, he sprinted out of the club as if his life depended on it.Amanda dared not say more and left awkwardly.When Daniel returned to the hotel later, he saw a petite figure gazing at the sunset outside the window as he entered the room.Maisie didn't react when he approached. She was still in a daze.Daniel smiled and hugged her from behind.She was shocked but playfully punched him when she turned her head and saw him."What's wrong?" He tucked her hair behind her ears. "You look like you have a lot on your mind. Are you worried about your family?"She nodded. "I'm still concerned about my mom."He frowned. "What did she say to you?""She didn't say anything. She hasn't contacted me since we talked about the house. She stutters and avoids talking when I call. When I asked my sister, she couldn't say anything either.She sighed. "It seems like they're upset about the demolition compensati

Daniel glanced at the news article that Maisie was writing—a piece she had copied from a senior.Maisie looked concerned. "Is it bad? It always feels too deliberate when I copy. I just don't like it, no matter how I look at it.""I think it's not bad." Daniel smiled after reading. "It's organized with clear points, and the writing is smooth. It's just the words you used are not poignant enough. It's too soft.""Are you sincerely complimenting me?" Maisie asked as he played with her hair, his eyes filled with allure.He shared his honest thoughts, "When writing an article, especially those by journalists, you need an attitude that isn't afraid of offending people. It's impossible to take care of everyone's feelings."So, be strict when you should be, and criticize when needed. You can't be weak, nor do you have to show mercy. People might not care for your mercy!"Maisie pondered. "Oh…""Don't worry about making enemies," he assured. "One must have a couple of enemies to live in

"Ms. Lily wants to expand the company, but the Reyes Group won't give her too much support on that," the assistant explained. "She thought she'd look for an external collaborator, so she thought of you."Daniel glanced at the attached project proposal. One must say that Lily was a smart woman—the proposal was almost perfect. She generously prioritized the collaborator, making it easy for someone like her to attract an investor.Although Daniel was quite interested in the project, he instinctively looked into the room.The assistant laughed at his little move, restraining his laughter when he saw his serious face."Got it," Daniel said flatly. "Take the proposal. There's no rush in the collaboration. Let's observe what she'll do next.""Got it.""Also...""I know." The assistant smiled. "It must be kept a secret from Ms. Maisie!"Daniel glared at his assistant, who quickly grabbed the proposal and ran away.-Amanda nervously checked the time in the meeting room. Time seemed t

At that moment, Lily looked up and saw the shock in Amanda's eyes."H-Hi, Ms. Lily!" Amanda forced a smile while greeting her. Simultaneously, she noticed sauce at the corner of Lily's lips.Lily swiftly grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth, then set down the salmon, regaining her elegance."You must be Ms. Amanda," Lily said with charisma. "We met many years ago. I remember you were just a journalist back then…""That's right!" Amanda quickly responded. "I remember you were… Mrs. Quimby back then!"Lily's facial expression changed slightly, and she didn't continue the conversation.The assistant, Rachael, intervened, ushering Amanda to a seat and recommending the restaurant's delicious dishes.Amanda also noticed the table before Rachael.Compared to Lily's appetite, Rachael outdid her!They could really eat, ordering the most special and expensive dishes, some being today's specials with an extra charge."Don't just sit there, Ms. Amanda! Start eating!" Rachael said, "The buf

"Ms. Lily—""The salmon isn't bad, get me another one!" Lily instructed.Amanda was baffled, rendered speechless.Rachael scanned the surroundings and then fixed her gaze on Lily with a serious expression. "Ms. Lily, Amanda was wondering how you plan to handle that vixen!"Lily was suddenly enlightened and replied, "Oh! Yes, yes. What should I do?"Amanda approached, whispering the plan. "Ms. Lily, all you need to do is…"At that moment, she pondered, 'She seems smart, but why does she appear so clueless when she talks? Her assistant isn't any brighter either. All they seem to care about is eating more. They don't consider the serious matters at all!'However, one should not underestimate Lily's capabilities.Amanda had to endure it and repeated the plan to her multiple times.Lily glanced at her. "You want me to make her remember the past and recall what Daniel did to her so that she'll fall into despair?""Yes! Yes!" Amanda was delighted. Lily had finally grasped her inten

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
