"How did you know it was her?" Daniel asked.
Arya took a deep breath. "My parents gave me all the company's important information. But, just a day later, I was
attacked. Do you think that's a coincidence?"
Daniel frowned, a shadow crossing his face. "Where are the documents now?"
"Most likely in Sophia's hands. I carried them with me because they're crucial. When I passed out and woke up, I
found my backpack empty. But..."
"But what?"
"The company seal wasn't in the bag." Arya smiled cunningly. "The company seal can use all the headquarters'
resources. When my mother gave it to me, I asked Toph to keep it safe for me. The seal is with the Hamertons right
now, and it's very secure!"

Arya nodded confidently.
"You're quite smart!" Daniel chuckled. "Seems like your family has some redeeming qualities."
"Mr. Quimby, um..." Arya lowered her head, looking a bit awkward. "I understand my brother was in the wrong with
Maisie. But I don't think you'd kidnap me to get back at the Bayers. Your methods should be more sophisticated."
Daniel squinted. "You are indeed very clever."
At that moment, Arya's expression dimmed. "Are you really seeking revenge against my brother?"
Daniel remained silent for a moment, then said softly, "Let your family know you're safe, so they won't worry too
much."
"I... I've already called Toph," Arya replied. "I asked him to quietly tell my father not to worry, especially now that
my mother's health is poor—she can't handle any shocks. But given my current situation, I can't tell my brother. He
and Sophia have to believe that I'm in Fat Lawler's hands, and it's you who plotted with him to kidnap me for
revenge."
"Why are you doing this?" Daniel asked.
"Because..." Arya's expression grew firm. "I want to put on a show with Sophia! When her act can't go on, I'll settle
the score with her!"
Daniel smirked. They said like father like son, but in the case of the Bayers, it was the daughter.
Josiah and Kelly's daughter was decent. Graham, who had been counted on, was the one who didn't inherit any
great qualities from the couple.
Daniel nodded. "This is a good plan. I hope your brother can learn a lesson from this woman."
"Why are you here, Mr. Quimby? You still haven't answered my question. Are you really planning to take revenge on
my brother? What's your plan?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I still won't answer that," Daniel said as he stood up and walked toward the door. "As for why I'm here, it's because
Maisie is very concerned about you. She asked me to come and check on you."
"Maisie..."
"Yes." Daniel's gaze grew serious. "She's loyal. Even if she couldn't become family with you, she still worries about
your well-being."
Arya showed a hint of guilt as she said softly, "It's a shame my brother missed out on her... Are you with her now?
"Mr. Quimby, please treat her well."
Daniel paused momentarily, and he replied heavily, "Of course."
Then he disappeared into the dusk.
First, he called Maisie to inform her that Arya was safe and sound.
Afterward, he dialed another number. "Have you found the surveillance footage from that night?"
"Yes, Mr. Quimby." The party on the other end said, "The surveillance video of Ms. Bayer being attacked is very
clear. On that day, a woman came to my colleague and asked him to tamper with the surveillance during that
period to erase it."
"Good." Daniel snickered. "Then let's wait for this grand performance, and see how that woman falls from grace."
