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!"
