Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1770

"Absolutely!" Lily affirmed with a nod. "Take my place, for example. It's a bit disorderly because I tend to be

scatterbrained. Things are strewn about, creating a semblance of chaos, yet I can pinpoint the location of each

item with precision.

"Then there's Daniel. He leans toward being a neat freak, always eager to showcase his refined taste. He insists on

an Eropah-style interior even for his office—talk about going the extra mile."

Lily halted suddenly.

Maisie smiled but remained silent.

Lily swiftly presented a contract, breaking the awkward silence. "I'm here today to present you with this."

Maisie flipped it open and discovered it was a contract renewal. Without hesitation, she signed on the last page.

"Maisie..." Lily appeared touched. "This contract is quite extensive. At least ensure you've perused it before signing.

And those profit shares—have you genuinely calculated them?"

Maisie looked up at her, smiling sincerely. "Between us, we don't need these things."

"Perhaps other publishing companies are offering you more favorable terms," Lily insisted.

"But you've shown faith in me." Maisie's voice was gentle yet resolute. "Without you, there wouldn't be the 'me'

today. You've invested so much effort in me, and I naturally want to reciprocate that."

"You..."

Maisie finished signing, then playfully slapped the contract into Lily's hands, grinning brightly.

"This isn't just a renewal. It's my pact with you! I'm yours in life and in death—Lily, you can't abandon me!"

Lily burst into laughter, her eyes inadvertently reddening.

In reality, they both shared a similar trait—deep gratitude when someone extended kindness, a desire to repay it

indefinitely.

Having navigated the business world for numerous years, Lily viewed this as both her weakness and strength. She

had faced losses but also encountered benefactors due to this characteristic.

"Maisie, have you ever considered... that someone treats you better than I do?"

Maisie's smile froze, her expression shifting.

"As a woman, I can understand if you don't forgive him," Lily consoled, patting her hand. "But he has also paid a NôvelDrama.Org © content.

price..."

"Lily, are you here today to advocate for him?"

"Not exactly." Lily shook her head. "The harm you endured, just hearing about it gives me chills. I haven't

experienced it myself, so I can't fully empathize, but I won't feign sanctity and ask you to forgive him. I just want to

analyze your and Daniel's current situation."

Maisie furrowed her brows, silently studying Lily.

"There's always been internal strife within the Quimby Group. Daniel has managed to suppress it temporarily but

can't afford any mistakes. His opponents could exploit the slightest slip-up. Some altered parts in your book have

been used against him."

"What?"

"Anyone familiar with your past could easily identify those altered parts as your history with him. His rivals within

the family will use this to create turmoil, exaggerating his private l ife...

"Maisie, words can be dangerous. If this continues, with so much negative news about him, the board might force

him to resign.

"Next, they might turn their focus on you." Lily continued. "I don't know the specifics of their plans, but being

dragged into this conflict is inevitable for you. You don't want to be used as a pawn, right?

"Daniel will protect you." She held Maisie's hand. "But you need to find a way to protect yourself too!"
