Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1714

"I understand." Daniel waved his hand. "As long as Leroy sticks to his story for now and claims that his email was hacked, the relevant authorities won't have conclusive evidence that he definitely leaked the test questions. Just tell him to relax for a few more days. I will have the legal department of Quimby Group help you investigate the truth."

The lawyer, who was delighted, thanked Daniel profusely before leaving.

Daniel leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowing. He had his suspicions about the person responsible, but... could it really be her?

After all, she owed Leroy a great deal. Would she be so ruthless when it came to her mentor?

Amanda had to make significant effort to arrange an afternoon tea with Lily. She had learned from her previous mistake, so she chose a recently-opened coffee shop with exceptional decor and a new-store discount this time. Most importantly, the place was quiet.

The café was in a small white building near the edge of a forest, almost hidden amidst the trees. It exuded an artistic ambiance, and Amanda was confident that Lily would appreciate it.

To make things even better, the universe seemed to be on her side that day. The whole cafe was empty, so they felt like they had the place to themselves.

"Ms. Reyes!" As soon as they met, Amanda pushed a caramel macchiato toward Lily with a fawning smile. "I just ordered this for you. I made sure the temperature and sweetness were to your taste. Try it!"

Lily smiled but didn't immediately reach for the coffee.

Amanda then presented a delicate little box.

"I picked this especially for you," she said, grinning. "I instantly fell in love with the design—it’s elegant and simple, just like you."

Lily examined the item. It was a platinum necklace—not extremely expensive, but certainly not cheap either. Amanda had saved on their meeting location but splurged on the gift.
