Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1801

Maisie was taken aback for a moment and nodded slightly.

During the chaotic situation in Lily's office that day, she hadn't gotten a good look. It wasn't until today that she could carefully assess Jodie. The Newhouse heiress was dressed beautifully with a haughty air that kept others at bay.

"If you must converse in such an impolite manner, then I think it's better I discuss the recent collaboration directly with Mr. Newhouse." Daniel's tone was stern. "After all, the Newhouse Group hasn't completely been passed to you. Don't you think so?"
