Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1813

"I see." Daniel's expression shifted when a thought suddenly struck him.

He spent the night with Maisie, sorting through the plot and the sketches. By the time he returned to the study, Tigger was already fast asleep on his blanket. He chuckled softly, nudging Tigger aside, but tossed and turned in bed.

Maisie's words, "I'm the only healthy one in our family", echoed in his mind.

A sudden thought flashed through his mind—could Jodie not be the real heiress of the Newhouses? Could it be someone else?

Daniel arranged to meet with Chris and Lena at the five-star hotel under the Quimby Group on that particular day.

"Uncle Daniel, you're being too nice! You've already treated us. Why again today?"

Daniel was taken aback. Who else, if not Toph, had such carefree laughter?

Chris and Lena exchanged smiles, apologizing, "Zuko is with his family, so he sticks with us!"

"What?! You're making it sound like I'm a single guy..." Toph was upset. "I'm married too, you know?"

Daniel smiled. "Since you're here, I'll make sure to host properly. Toph, they've added some new dishes to the buffet here. You should take a look."

"Alright!"

Once Toph was out of earshot, Chris asked in a hushed tone, "Uncle Daniel, did you invite us here for something specific?"

"Yeah." Daniel smiled as talking to sharp-minded folks was effortless. "Chris, you probably told Lena about that incident, right?"

Lena calmly analyzed, "When Chris mentioned it to me, I already felt something was off. Someone of Jodie's status shouldn't have any connection with Maisie's mother and brother. Their meeting only indicates one possibility—that there's some kind of relationship between them."

"That day at the rehab center, I personally saw Jodie pushing Maisie's mother." Chris continued. "One is lucky to have escaped without being blackmailed around an old lady who's shoved, yet Maisie's mother didn't pursue it, just kept saying how miserable her life was... Perhaps she's unable to voice her suffering because her own daughter pushed her?"

Daniel's eyes lit up. "So, we're on the same page!"

"We don't know where the real Newhouse heiress is," Lena said. "But this current Ms. Newhouse is definitely worth investigating."

Daniel nodded and then smiled at Lena. "I'm afraid I might need your help with this matter."

"What? Me?"
