Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1774

"Maisie..."

"I should indeed forgive myself," Maisie uttered, her gaze averted as if looking at something beyond. "And to do so, I must confront the past."

She enunciated each word deliberately. "Daniel, I did love you. It was a love that gave everything, even risking my life.

"I initially stayed with you because of money... I constantly reminded myself that I didn't mean anything to you and that you would leave me sooner or later. But I couldn't control falling for you.

"After recalling those things from the past, I also hated you. But I seem to understand something these days-I hated you because I still loved you. Yet, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's forgetting. So... I genuinely intend to forgive myself."

Daniel stood in silence.

A breeze swept by, causing cherry blossom petals from the tree behind Maisie to drift, landing gently on her hair and shoulders.

Although she stood right in front of him, he felt as though they were worlds apart.

In the chilly spring, he realized there wasn't just sunlight but also a coldness in the air.

Daniel forced a smile, unsure of what to say.

"I'll forgive myself," Maisie declared, looking into his eyes. "And you should also forgive yourself. Let's both forgive each other and start anew in life, alright?"

"Are you planning to completely forget about me?" he asked.

Maisie lowered her head, remaining silent.

Daniel's heart twisted, feeling as if a knife had been plunged into it. Eventually, he nodded, smiling at her.

"Alright, I understand," he murmured softly. "I won't disturb you anymore. You can start your new life. But before that, I have to tell you..."

Daniel took a deep breath, slowly revealing, "I wasn't the one who orchestrated that incident."

"What?"

"You always thought I sent someone to find you, forced you to terminate the pregnancy, and eventually pushed you off the staircase...

"Maisie, I didn't do that. I investigated those people back then, but you were in a critical condition in the hospital. After you were discharged, you were in such a state that I was busy taking care of you, so I delayed this matter...

"I've found out everything now." His gaze was resolute. "Maisie, trust me, I'll bring justice for you and the child!"

A few days later, Daniel took swift and decisive action against his fourth uncle, Chace Quimby, and his family at the Quimby Group's board meeting. He presented evidence of their economic crimes over the years, clearly stating each point, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Their children were involved in various commercial cases, enriching themselves using the company's funds.

Daniel had ample evidence, not just physical but also witness testimonies. He had already informed the police in advance.

After presenting these pieces of evidence, cold steel handcuffs were already clasped around Chace and his wife, Nadine's wrists.

The boardroom briefly spiraled into chaos.

Under the weight of irrefutable evidence, Chace and Nadine turned pale, nearly fainting in the meeting room.

Daniel sneered. His people had already taken control of the venue and brought in Camila, who was equally pale.

"You..." Chace widened his eyes. "How could it be you? You..."

"Uncle Chace, Aunt Nadine." Daniel smiled. "Your daughter is more capable than you both, with a stronger backbone. I brought her here to witness both of you admitting your crimes!"

Camila looked at her adoptive parents. As their eyes met, all she saw was their anger and coldness, not a shred of concern for their daughter.
