Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1659

"Could it be..."

"Sophia!" the two of them exclaimed simultaneously.

After uttering that name, they shared a knowing smile.

"It's really her!" Daniel took out a cigarette. With a quick nod from Fat Lawler, one of his subordinates handed him a lighter.

The smell of tobacco filled the room as Daniel contemplated and then flicked off the ash.

"I guess... by now, both of us are blamed for kidnapping the Bayer heiress, right?"

"What else!" Fat Lawler snorted. "She acted all friendly with me on the surface, but then she pulled off this stunt, spreading rumors everywhere that I abducted Arya!"

"We're pretty tight, so naturally, others would suspect me," Daniel said with a grin. "This way, more people are implicated. My brother-in-law is Nicholas, so it affects the relationship between the Bayer and Thompson families."

Fat Lawler scoffed. "She really thinks she can manipulate us like this?"

"What do you think?"

"Absurd!" When Fat Lawler said that, his tone remained steady, and his face showed no signs of an emotional ripple. However, Daniel noticed him clenching his fists and the veins popping out on the back of his hands.

Daniel whispered after a brief silence, "Fat Lawler, I've manipulated the price of Cumulus City's mineral mines, making those two mines less valuable than they used to be."

"I know." Fat Lawler patted his shoulder. "Originally, I did it to help you release your frustration. As long as you've found your release, my efforts aren't wasted. However..."

Fat Lawler gestured.

At that moment, Arya turned and blinked, gradually sitting up in bed inside the room.

Daniel said softly, "I'd like to have a private conversation with her."
