Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1778

"I'm sorry," Camila said softly as she struggled to get up from the floor.

Maisie locked eyes with Camila, finding only coldness within them. There was no trace of remorse accompanying her apology—the words "I'm sorry" felt more like a colossal joke.

Camila's lips were ashen as she continued. "Regardless of your perception, I truly wanted to apologize. I acknowledge that I've disrupted your life. If not for me, you wouldn't have experienced so much pain.

"But... was it genuinely me who dismantled your life?"

Maisie froze, and her heart clenched abruptly, a suffocating feeling rising from within.

The police, accompanied by a lawyer, arrived and escorted Camila away.

A semblance of calmness returned.

Daniel carefully held Maisie in his embrace. As he prepared to exit the room, his gaze lingered on the lawyer, his voice carrying weight. "You know what to do, right?"

The lawyer nodded. "Mr. Quimby, I'll adhere strictly to the standard legal procedures. I won't interfere with anything else!"

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't want to see Camila again, and there shouldn't be any parasites like this in the Quimby Group."

"I understand!"

The lawyer had been Daniel's confidant for years, their connection strong enough for unspoken communication. Daniel felt reassured entrusting the case to him.

His concern now rested with Maisie.

She appeared frail. Even with his support, she moved with dragging steps and stumbled.

Daniel simply lifted her.

Maisie resisted briefly but eventually surrendered, allowing him to hold her as tears covered her face. Exhausted, she closed her eyes, leaning against his chest.
