"But..." Maisie hesitated. "Mr. Quimby, this is my responsibility. Those kids in that class are under my care. If the
parents have any issues or complaints, I should handle them."
"I told you not to go!" Daniel's tone became firmer. His gaze was intense, like an unfathomable abyss, exuding an
intimidating presence.
Maisie's heart raced. Daniel looked stern, even somewhat ruthless, but she wasn't afraid. She didn't know why, but
she wasn't afraid of him no matter how he appeared.
"Mr. Quimby..."
He lowered his voice and firmly squeezed her shoulder. "Maisie, leave everything to me."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaisie suddenly realized that Daniel might know something. Her heart pounded, and she stared at him. "Mr.
Quimby, is there something you want to tell me?"
Daniel bit his lip. After remaining silent for a while, he said, "I won't hide it from you. I've actually already
investigated your fiance."
"What are you saying?"
Daniel produced a photo, and Maisie's mind went blank.
"James' mother, Sophia, has been in a relationship with Graham. Initially, I thought Graham was just having a fling
with her because, frankly, that woman's qualifications aren't impressive. But later, I discovered that Graham wasn't
just having fun with her. You see, I found several properties registered in his name that have been transferred to
her name."
Maisie was stunned, and her vision suddenly went black. Just as she was about to collapse, she fell into a warm,
secure embrace.
Daniel watched her with concern, his large hand gently patting her back. "I suspect Sophia will go to the
kindergarten to cause a scene today and embarrass you."
Tears welled up in Maisie's eyes, but she felt helpless, unable to cry.
She felt safe and secure in Daniel's arms.
"Don't go today," Daniel said softly. "Rest assured, I will handle everything." -
Daniel arrived at the international kindergarten.
The parents in the meeting room were all influential figures in Centrolis. Among them were Zuko and Lina. Some
recognized Daniel and nodded in greeting.

"That wouldn't happen." Daniel smiled. "Mine has faced him before."
Sitting down beside Zuko and Lina, Daniel asked, "Is Sephy doing okay?"
Lina laughed. "Don't worry, Uncle Daniel. Sephy is quite bold. She even takes pride in standing up to someone. She's
just like her grandfather!"
"His parenting style is right."
Zuko and Lina exchanged a smile.
Daniel continued. "Pammy, you're pregnant. Why did you come to an event like this? Zuko coming alone would
have been enough."
"My daughter hit someone. How could I not come?" Lina gently patted her belly. "I hope this one will be more well-
behaved than Sephy."
