Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1713

Daniel's expression darkened. If this matter was exposed by someone with an ulterior motive, not only would Leroy be held legally accountable, but Maisie might not escape blame either. After all, the email had been sent from Leroy's account and Maisie had been the only recipient.

Daniel immediately understood the gravity of the situation.

"Maisie, go back and pack your things. I'll find another place for you to stay. In the meantime, avoid meeting anyone and don't answer any calls from unfamiliar numbers. Leave this matter to me."

"You don't need to worry." Maisie chuckled and reached out to caress his cheek. "I didn't answer the questions, actually."

"What?"

"When I looked at the first question, I thought it was a coincidence. But as I continued, things felt more and more unusual," she explained. "I only answered a small portion of the first paper. During the interview I didn't respond the way I had prepared. I just rambled, and the interviewers shook their heads at me."

Daniel paused for a few seconds and then burst into laughter. His eyes glinted with pleasant surprise. He hadn't expected that this formerly innocent rabbit would transform into a clever cat armed with sharp claws, perfectly capable of protecting herself.

"Even so, you may be suspected, and that email remains evidence."

"I know," she replied in a low voice. "But it's the best way I could think of to protect myself."

Daniel held her in his arms and kissed her soft cheek.

"Don't worry, you did great." His voice was deep. "Leave the rest to me."

"How will you handle it?"

"That email is obviously an issue," Daniel asserted. "I suspect it might be the work of someone who has a vendetta against Leroy. He's been in the field for years, after all, so he must have offended numerous people. Maybe someone who has it out for him wants to make a fuss out of this.

"But they also sent the email to you." Daniel looked at Maisie. "This is unusual. That person is also out to get you!"

For the past couple of days, there had been no news from Leroy. Daniel couldn't even get in touch with him. However, Leroy's lawyer came to see them two days later.

"Mr. Quimby!" The lawyer appeared a bit agitated. "Mr. Kerk has been taken away for questioning due to a tip-off regarding an exam question leak."

"Mm." Daniel remained composed, as he had expected this.

"Mr. Quimby, Mr. Kerk has been wrongfully accused," the lawyer stated. "I've been discussing this with him for the past couple of days, and we've been investigating the matter. He sent those exam questions to an email before, but his account was hacked."

"Someone hacked Leroy's account?"

"Yes!"

"Have you identified the hacker?"

The lawyer shook his head. "That's proving to be quite challenging, so it will take time."

"Have you checked if Leroy's email was used to send the questions to anyone else?"

"There was only one email address. There were no others."

Daniel's expression shifted subtly. Someone had hacked Leroy's account with the intention of leaking the exam questions to Maisie. As he'd suspected, this person was targeting both Leroy and Maisie. This meant that the person probably had a vendetta against Maisie, not Leroy.

"Mr. Quimby, regarding this issue..."
