Chapter 1872
Maisie scrutinized the manuscripts before looking up at Daniel in shock.
“This novel is called Dancing Lights!” she exclaimed. “And the novel Delilah is currently serializing is called Whirling Lights! Even the names are so similar…
“The outlines and character settings are even more alike!” She flipped through the pages. “There are plot variations, but it’s clear that Dancing Lights has a more logical storyline! That makes sense… I always felt something was off when I read Whirling Lights. Now, this mystery is solved!”
“Yes.” Daniel frowned. “I heard about Delilah’s novel being questioned. People seemed to say her content was contradictory, and there was opposition to her winning awards with an unfinished novel!”
“Yeah.” Maisie continued. “‘Whirling Lights’ has reached its ninth part but still hasn’t concluded. Many fans are speculating about the ending, but no one can guess it!”
“Because that wretched woman lacks the brains to write it!” Whitney cursed furiously. “Her fabricated plot has holes everywhere! She doesn’t understand how to write a suspense novel! There are logical inconsistencies from the beginning to the end. She probably can’t figure out an ending!
“That despicable woman! It’s highly likely that she only managed to steal the first nine parts of Anya’s story. When she wanted the ending, Anya had already stored the manuscript in a safe and… died.”
Whitney covered her face with both hands, trying to suppress her choked-up voice.
“I will seek justice for Anya!” She gritted her teeth. “I will crumble Delilah’s reputation!”
Daniel gently patted her shoulder, offering comfort.
The butler suddenly knocked. “Ms. Kinglake, is Mr. Quimby in here?”
“What’s the matter?” Daniel opened the door. “It’s so late. Is someone from the company looking for me?”
“No, it’s Mr. Zuko Hamerton!” The butler smiled with relief. “The Hamertons said that there’s news about Mr. Toph!”
Inside the secret room.
Harvey was leaning close to Toph as they examined the chip on the belt buckle.
“Don’t worry,” Toph whispered. “See, it turned green here, which means my brother has received my signal. As long as he gets the signal, he can locate this place on the computer, and we’ll be able to get out soon!”
Harvey glanced at him pointedly. “After getting out… take care of yourself.”
Toph was startled. “What are you saying?”
Harvey smiled bitterly, raising his hand as if to tousle Toph’s hair. His hand paused in mid-air before he proceeded to ruffle it vigorously.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
Toph’s hair became a mess.
“Ah, after getting out, come with me to Centrolis!”
“Why go there?”
“To my studio!” Toph’s eyes sparkled. “When we team up, we’ll definitely create groundbreaking work!”
Harvey smiled, but his eyes carried a world-weariness of having seen through everything.
“Also, Centrolis is so much fun!” Toph continued excitedly. “We have a massive estate, perfect for horse riding! On my 18th birthday, my parents gifted me a helicopter. We can fly it and go parachuting…

Suddenly, the door banged open!
In that split second, when Toph was dazed, Harvey instinctively shielded him.
The clicking of high heels was sharp and piercing, accompanied by a cold laugh, turning this cramped, dark space into something akin to hell.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Jodie’s face appeared under the light. “I guess you won’t be going anywhere! Better think about where to go in your next life!”
Harvey glared at her. The gleaming black gun in Jodie’s hand resembled the eyes of a menacing beast.
