Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1700

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 for you!"

"Is that so?" Daniel raised an eyebrow.

He glanced at the watch on the table, an expensive item. What bothered him was that Amanda had a similar one on her wrist, which repulsed him.

He controlled his anger, picked up the watch, and tossed it into the soup pot without a word!

Hot soup splattered everywhere, and sparks flew from the stove beneath.

Amanda cried out in shock, instinctively shielding her face, while Leroy sat in horror.

Daniel looked at Amanda, almost smiling, but not quite, as he said, "Retrieve it."

"What?"

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

Amanda turned pale and nearly collapsed into her chair.

"Don't you recall saying you'd do anything for me?"

"Mr. Quimby-"

Daniel said coldly, "You know very well what you've done. I don't need to remind you, do I?"

Leroy wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced at Amanda with disbelief but quickly grasped the situation.

She had probably harassed Maisie again!

Leroy glared at her, wishing he could toss her into the pot like Daniel had with the watch.

"Mr. Quimby, I-"

"I'll let it slide this time, given it's your first offense and you're Leroy's protege." Daniel looked at them. "But if this happens again, it won't be as simple as today. The Cumulus Morning Post, despite its influence, is just a newspaper agency, and Cumulus City has no shortage of those. Do you understand?"
