Cindy's anger flared up instantly. "What? What kind of company is this? Bullying others? Why are they targeting
me?!"
Amanda swiftly achieved the desired effect. She smiled and glanced around, signaling that the hallway wasn't the
best place for a heated conversation.
"Ms. Leech, would you mind if we step inside to talk?" Amanda asked.
Cindy wasted no time and ushered her inside. The place turned out to be even smaller and more cluttered than
Amanda had expected. The furniture was worn, and the grease on the stove was revolting.
Amanda instinctively frowned, surprised that Maisie had grown up in such a place.

Amanda got straight to the point. "Ms. Leech, the demolition company is indeed violating regulations. I've been
investigating this."
Cindy, wiping away tears, nodded in agreement. "But now that things have come to this point, what can we
ordinary folks do? We don't even know which door to knock on at that demolition company!"
"But your daughter might," Amanda suggested.
"What are you saying?"
Amanda smiled mysteriously while her eyes filled with suspicion. Did this old lady not know that her daughter was
involved with Daniel again?
"Ms. Leech, I won't beat around the bush," Amanda said in a low voice. "The one responsible for this demolition
project is the Quimby Group... You should be familiar with that name, right?"
Cindy was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
"Ms. Leech, from what I know, your daughter... Didn't she have a past with Daniel, the CEO of the Quimby Group?"
"No, no..." Cindy's face turned pale, and she vehemently denied it. "There was nothing, nothing at all!"
"Ma'am, don't deny it!" Amanda insisted. "Many people know about the history between Daniel and your daughter!"
"You..." Cindy sprang up, staring at Amanda as if she had seen a ghost.
Since Maisie's accident, Daniel's name had become taboo in the Squires. Cindy, who had witnessed Maisie's tragic
situation, had found the little maternal love left in her and dared not let Maisie get close to Daniel again.
She hoped Maisie could forget the past and find another wealthy man to continue her life. These past few days, she
had been thinking of how to persuade Maisie to reconcile with Graham. However, someone had now come to tell

Flustered, Cindy opened the door and pushed Amanda out, claiming to know nothing.
"Ma'am, think about it!" Cindy's reaction took Amanda aback. "It's just a matter of a few words from your daughter.
Are you willing to let the compensation slip through your fingers?
"I'll continue to follow this matter. If you're really treated unfairly by the Quimby Group, the media will stand up for
you! Ma'am, does your daughter still have contact with Mr. Quimby?"
"Get out!" Cindy abruptly opened the door and glared at her. "You journalists without a trace of conscience, my
daughter has finally forgotten the past and started anew. What are you trying to do now?!"
Amanda froze. 'So... Maisie has amnesia? No wonder she can still stand by Daniel's side as if nothing had
happened!'
