Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Lily pondered it. She had heard that Leroy had been taken in for questioning recently. Given the size of their

industry and Leroy's prominent status, any minor changes in his life would become common knowledge in their

circle. Furthermore, she had also heard... that Leroy was being framed.

Lily observed the person in front of her. This was Leroy's star pupil, but now it seemed that Leroy had raised a tiger.

"Why, Ms. Winslade." Lily swirled her coffee. "Don't be so reserved. Don't you want to share this news with me?"

"It's not that..." Amanda chuckled awkwardly. "It's just that there's not much to say."

Lily didn't press further, her gaze lingering on the handbag beside Amanda.

"Is this bag to your taste?"

"Of course, it's perfect!" Amanda replied excitedly. "It's a gift from you, Ms. Reyes, so how can it not be perfect? I

use it every day. Only generous people like you can afford these brands. I've been thinking about your kindness and

I wanted to reciprocate today, but you..."

"No need to reciprocate." Lily smiled. "This bag was a gift from someone else. The design is too trendy for me. I'm

getting older, and it doesn't suit me. But you're youthful and vibrant, so this bag is perfect for you!"

Amanda was on cloud nine after being praised. This handbag had been sent to her by Lily after their last meal. The

brand and style were uncommon, and carrying this bag was a symbol of status.

Amanda hadn't expected that Lily would so casually give away a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars. She had

been carrying it non-stop and had even placed it on her bedside when she slept.

"This bag suits you," Lily said, looking at her meaningfully. "But the man you want isn't as easy to get as a bag."

"Ms... Ms. Reyes, what are you saying?"

"Don't pretend you don't understand," Lily continued. "Daniel may appear calm and intelligent, but from what I

know, he's never been calm when it comes to Maisie. If you mess with someone dear to him, he might lose his

temper and take down the Cumulus Morning Post!"

"Ms. Reyes, are you joking?"

"Don't be nervous. I was just using a metaphor," Lily said with a smile. "You wouldn't possibly mess with someone

dear to him, right?"

Amanda looked rather flustered. She ran a hand through her hair, then lifted her coffee cup to cover her face.

Lily stood up and bid her farewell. "Let's end our discussion for today."

"But Ms. Reyes, you haven't even taken a sip of your coffee..."

"I know this place is known for its macchiatos, but didn't the staff tell you? I come here for the hand- brewed

Yirgacheffe!"

"What?" Amanda stared, looking dumbfounded. "You're a... member here?"

Lily smiled. "I'm a shareholder!"

Amanda stood there in shock. Unintentionally, she had chosen a cafe belonging to Lily when all she'd wanted was to

save on meal expenses!

"Alright, this meal is on the house! Feel free to enjoy and order some more drinks. They serve other excellent

beverages too!"

As Lily left, she patted Amanda on the shoulder twice, leaving her with an enigmatic smile. Unbeknownst to

Amanda, the cafe's surveillance cameras were recording everything.
