The meeting ended quickly, and everyone else left, leaving only two journalists.

One of them was Leroy Kerk, who had a close relationship with Daniel, and the other was the woman who had been eyeing Maisie earlier.

"You might not have remembered with so many people around earlier," Daniel reassured Maisie with a smile. "This is Leroy, a significant figure in this field, and we're old friends." "And this..." Daniel paused. "She is Amanda Winslade, the Editor-in-Chief of Cumulus Morning Post."

Maisie politely nodded her head, but Amanda's attitude remained icy. Maisie even sensed a hint of anger in Amanda's eyes.

"Alright, it's getting late," Leroy said with a smile. "I still have work to do, so I won't disturb you and Ms. Squire. Amanda, are you leaving? I can give you a ride."

"Sure," Amanda replied with a light laugh. "Mr. Quimby, we'll be taking our leave."

She only greeted Daniel and completely ignored Maisie as if she were invisible.

Maisie found this quite puzzling. Her first thought was whether she had made an enemy back when she was in Cumulus City.

Once they were outside, Leroy frowned as he looked at Amanda. "I've got to say, you were acting a bit strange just now."

Amanda glanced at him and smirked. "Strange? It seems I'm not the only one, am I?"

Leroy knew what was on her mind. He had also been taken aback when he first saw Maisie.

Back then, they had all assumed that Daniel was just playing around with the young girl and wouldn't get emotionally involved. Who knew he would fall so deeply for her? Even after all they had been through, he still wanted to be with her.

Amanda lowered her voice. "Leroy, Maisie is Daniel's previous girlfriend, but she disappeared two years ago. How did Daniel bring her back?"

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Leroy quickly pulled her to a spot further from the club. "Daniel's people are still around here. Watch your words! If we provoke him, your news agency and my company will be in big trouble!"

Amanda crossed her arms and pouted, turning her face away.

As the mentor who had once taught Amanda the ins and outs of journalism, Leroy understood her feelings, but he felt quite helpless about it.

Amanda had a long-standing crush on Daniel, but no matter how she interacted with him under the pretext of interviews, he always treated her strictly professionally. However, her feelings for him only deepened.

She no longer had any interest in other men and kept stalling romantic affairs, including marriage, making her still single in her 30s.

Leroy didn't want to see her like this. He had subtly tried to find out if Daniel had any romantic interest in her and received negative answers.

However, later on, they heard that Daniel had the company of a female college student...

Amanda didn't believe it at first, thinking it was rumors by Daniel's business rivals. However, when she saw Daniel kissing Maisie in front of the villa with her own eyes, something seemed to have exploded in her head.

Daniel had bought that villa in secret. It was by Cumulus City's river and oversaw the best riverview. It was also where he kept the girl.

Later, Amanda began to investigate Maisie obsessively. The name "Maisie" became like a thorn embedded deeply in her heart.
