Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1811

"Odd?" Daniel narrowed his eyes. "What exactly do you mean?"

"Just... just a feeling I have," Chris said quietly. "Have you had any recent dealings with the Newhouse Group? If so, I suggest you take it slow."

Daniel looked at Chris. A special forces soldier's intuition was usually accurate. If Chris was mentioning a problem, it must be significant.

"Yes," he replied in a deep voice. "I have two collaborations with the Newhouse Group but haven't signed any agreements. I'm currently investigating them in secret."

Chris was taken aback. "Uncle Daniel, you suspect..."

"I suspect irregular financial transactions within the Newhouse Group, not specifically Jodie. Why do you feel something's off about her?"

Chris organized his thoughts and summarized his previous encounter with Jodie, as well as her being with Maisie's mother.

"She's a wealthy heiress. Why would she be with Maisie's mom and even appear at the rehab center at the same time? Isn't that strange?" Chris spoke frankly. "That day, I happened to visit my comrade, and later, I asked him about them. My comrade said... the name they registered to visit was Owen Squire!"

"Jodie visiting Owen?" Daniel found it incredulous.

"Yeah, that's what I can't figure out. What's the connection between them?"

Daniel fell silent, his expression even more somber than before.

He patted Chris's shoulder, thanked him for the information, and asked him to go upstairs first. Then he stood downstairs, smoking.

His mind was scattered, filled with scenes since he met Maisie.

She had nothing, willing to sell herself to him for her family's sake. She was willing to sacrifice everything for her family, but how did her family treat her in return?

Cindy saw her as a cash cow, showing her no care from childhood. As for Owen, his vices included everything, and he had caused her to miscarry for money, pushing her into the abyss.

Only Nicole treated her slightly better, but that kindness was tinged with weakness. If Nicole couldn't even protect herself, how could she protect her?
