"Doesn't it?" Linda said urgently, "Your brother-in-law has already checked Arya's call records, and she contacted
Fat Lawler before her disappearance. Daniel, your relationship with Fat Lawler is no secret to me."
Daniel furrowed his brow. This matter was too peculiar, and he couldn't make sense of it at the moment.
"I'm close to Fat Lawler, but I have no issues with Arya... Linda, why are you suspecting me?"
"Daniel!" Linda's voice grew frantic. "I know you have a problem with Graham for what happened with Maisie. But,
as you said, you have no grievances with Arya. You can't transfer your hatred for her brother onto her, can you?"
"Linda, are you out of your mind?" Daniel's expression darkened, and his voice became stern. "On what grounds
are you suspecting me like this?"

After a pause, Linda softly said, "Can you... help the Bayers then?"
Daniel snorted and hung up. As he turned, though, he was met with Maisie's clear gaze.
"What happened to the Bayers?" -
At the door of a ward in the sanatorium.
Sophia's high heels made a particularly harsh sound in the spacious corridor. She held a food container in her hand
and smiled sweetly at the bodyguards by the door.
"I'm here to deliver Mrs. Bayer's meal. Please let me in," she said.
The bodyguards exchanged glances but remained silent.
"It was Graham who sent me." Sophia took out her phone for pretense. "Should I call him to confirm? Heavens, Mrs.

to bear that responsibility?"
The bodyguards were troubled by her words and reluctantly let her in.
"That's more like it." Sophia smiled. "I'll be the lady of this household in the future, and you should decide whose
orders to follow. It's time for you to think things through!
"Alright, stay back a bit. I not only need to assist Mrs. Bayer with her meal but also help her with her hygiene. It's
inconvenient for a group of big men like you to stand by the door!"
Sophia shooed them away and walked into the ward. She immediately saw Kelly lying on the bed in the spacious

Now, in her old age and after the recent emotional turmoil with her son, her health had been greatly affected.
"Mrs. Bayer, I'm here." Sophia grinned as she approached, placing the food container on the bedside table.
Kelly struggled to open her eyes. As soon as she saw Sophia, her eyes were filled with disgust. "What are you here
for?"
"I've come to serve you!"
"I don't need it!"
"Oh, Mrs. Bayer." Sophia made herself comfortable by sitting on the edge of the bed, her gaze icy as she stared at
her. "Regardless of whether you need it or not, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a daughterin-law."
