"Got it, got it." Amanda nodded quickly.
Leroy felt terrified. After forcing down the wine, he sprinted out of the club as if his life depended on it.
Amanda dared not say more and left awkwardly.
When Daniel returned to the hotel later, he saw a petite figure gazing at the sunset outside the window as he entered the room.
Maisie didn't react when he approached. She was still in a daze.
Daniel smiled and hugged her from behind.
She was shocked but playfully punched him when she turned her head and saw him.
"What's wrong?" He tucked her hair behind her ears. "You look like you have a lot on your mind. Are you worried about your family?"
She nodded. "I'm still concerned about my mom."
He frowned. "What did she say to you?"
"She didn't say anything. She hasn't contacted me since we talked about the house. She stutters and avoids talking when I call. When I asked my sister, she couldn't say anything either.
She sighed. "It seems like they're upset about the demolition compensation."
Daniel felt pained for her. Sometimes he found it strange too. Since being with her, he had become much more soft-hearted. He would not be as cruel as he used to be toward people and things he despised.
Daniel had had his secretary send money to the Squires before coming here. He wanted Maisie to be at ease. It would also help shut Cindy's mouth.
"Don't worry." He rested her chin on her shoulder. His voice was deep and electric. "It's been solved."
"Hmm?"
"It's been dealt with," he repeated, smiling. "I guarantee your family will get something they're happy with."
