Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1713
Daniel's expression darkened. If this matter was exposed by someone with an ulterior motive, not only would Leroy be held legally accountable, but Maisie might not escape blame either. After all, the email had been sent from Leroy's account and Maisie had been the only recipient.Daniel immediately understood the gravity of the situation."Maisie, go back and pack your things. I'll find another place for you to stay. In the meantime, avoid meeting anyone and don't answer any calls from unfamiliar numbers. Leave this matter to me.""You don't need to worry." Maisie chuckled and reached out to caress his cheek. "I didn't answer the questions, actually.""What?""When I looked at the first question, I thought it was a coincidence. But as I continued, things felt more and more unusual," she explained. "I only answered a small portion of the first paper. During the interview, I didn't respond the way I had prepared. I just rambled, and the interviewers shook their heads at me."Daniel

"I understand." Daniel waved his hand. "As long as Leroy sticks to his story for now and claims that his email was hacked, the relevant authorities won't have conclusive evidence that he definitely leaked the test questions. Just tell him to relax for a few more days. I will have the legal department of Quimby Group help you investigate the truth."The lawyer, who was delighted, thanked Daniel profusely before leaving.Daniel leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowing. He had his suspicions about the person responsible, but... could it really be her?After all, she owed Leroy a great deal. Would she be so ruthless when it came to her mentor?…Amanda had to make significant effort to arrange an afternoon tea with Lily. She had learned from her previous mistake, so she chose a recently-opened coffee shop with exceptional decor and a new-store discount this time. Most importantly, the place was quiet.The café was in a small white building near the edge of a forest, almost hidde

Lily pondered it. She had heard that Leroy had been taken in for questioning recently. Given the size of their industry and Leroy's prominent status, any minor changes in his life would become common knowledge in their circle. Furthermore, she had also heard… that Leroy was being framed.Lily observed the person in front of her. This was Leroy's star pupil, but now it seemed that Leroy had raised a tiger."Why, Ms. Winslade." Lily swirled her coffee. "Don't be so reserved. Don't you want to share this news with me?""It's not that..." Amanda chuckled awkwardly. "It's just that there's not much to say."Lily didn't press further, her gaze lingering on the handbag beside Amanda."Is this bag to your taste?""Of course, it's perfect!" Amanda replied excitedly. "It's a gift from you, Ms. Reyes, so how can it not be perfect? I use it every day. Only generous people like you can afford these brands. I've been thinking about your kindness and I wanted to reciprocate today, but you..."

Soon, Lily went to see Daniel."I believe it'd be better if I handed this personally over to you. I can't fully trust my subordinates with it."Daniel set aside the document in his hands and narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"Lily reached into her bag and placed a USB drive on his desk. "All the records of Amanda using Leroy's account are in here."Daniel was taken aback. "How did you obtain this?""Yeah." Lily smiled. "You have so many tech experts and professionals on your team, yet it would take them some time to uncover this information. So, how did I find out?""Can we cut to the chase?""Alright, but you need to promise me one thing," Lily said with an air of triumph. "Agree to cooperate and I'll tell you how I found this."Looking helpless, Daniel pursed his lips and remained silent.Lily decided not to tease him further. "Alright, consider the collaboration later. Investigating Amanda through the internet isn't very effective. Besides, she's not the type to leave traces

At the police station, Daniel met Leroy, who appeared despondent. The formerly vibrant and prominent journalist now sat in a disheveled state. In just a few days, he had lost weight, his cheeks looked deeply hollow, and his face bore the marks of sleepless nights, such as the dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Daniel, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes, which quickly dimmed."Mr. Quimby...""It's going to be okay," Daniel reassured him in a low voice. "The legal team of Quimby Group has stepped in to work on your case. They are currently negotiating, so you should be able to get released on bail.""Mr. Quimby, I am truly innocent!" Leroy covered his face and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't know what happened. I haven't logged into that email account, and during the period before the exam, I barely visited my office. I mostly stayed at home.""I've verified everything." Daniel's voice was deep, and his gaze was intense. "Leroy, do you know who did this to you?"

At the moment, he no longer wanted to hide anything, nor did it seem worth it."Mr. Quimby, there's something else... I'd like to come clean about."Daniel shifted slightly. He had anticipated this move from Leroy. Now that their mentor-mentee relationship was broken beyond repair, Leroy had no reason to protect Amanda any longer."During Amanda's tenure as the editor-in-chief of the Cumulus Morning Post, she accepted bribes multiple times. She facilitated false advertising for some shell companies and published fake news..."And these companies profited immensely from this deceitful promotion. Eventually, they fled with the money, leaving the creditors high and dry. Some people even lost everything and resorted to suicide."Daniel's brows were furrowed. "So, no one has held her accountable over all these years?""She was skilled in handling public relations, and she made sure not to leave any incriminating evidence after the deed. I am the only one who knows the details of these

"You..." Daniel's throat tightened. "What do you want to write about?""I don't know." Maisie smiled innocently, her soft hair nuzzling his chin. The sweet fragrance of her body wafted toward his nose.Daniel struggled to control himself, afraid to expose his feelings. He coughed discreetly to hide his embarrassment and gently pushed her away just a little, making sure not to give himself away."Well, if I do write a novel, I don't want to write about such a tragic story. I want to write about us," Maisie said, raising her head to look at him."About us?""Mm!" Maisie grinned innocently. "I want to include all the good things you've done for me.""What about the times I wasn't good to you?""When have you not been good to me?" Daniel felt a pang of guilt and hugged her."In the past…" he murmured. He had genuinely mistreated her in the past. He had treated her like a pet, summoning her whenever he pleased and disregarding her when he didn't.He had no idea how Maisie had man

"Ms. Reyes, you..." Amanda's eyes widened, and her mind was in complete disarray.In theory, her plan shouldn't have gone awry. Lily was Daniel's former wife, and she had feelings for Daniel, so she should despise Maisie. Besides, Amanda could have used her as a pawn to eliminate the thorn in her side without anyone suspecting her.How had everything changed?"Amanda." Lily smirked. "Stop thinking that everyone else is as naive as you are. Or should I say, as morally bankrupt as you are?""Ms. Reyes...""From the very beginning, you wanted to use me to get closer to Daniel! And while I was in the midst of a fierce battle with Maisie, you'd sit back and reap the benefits. Isn't that right?""No!" Amanda protested. "Ms. Reyes, please listen to my explanation. I genuinely had your best interests at heart.""I could hear you scheming all the way from abroad! You dare say you were never jealous of Maisie? You dare say you didn't want to destroy her?"Amanda was left dumbfounded, una

"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
