Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chatper 1717

At the police station, Daniel met Leroy, who appeared despondent. The formerly vibrant and prominent journalist

now sat in a disheveled state. In just a few days, he had lost weight, his cheeks looked deeply hollow, and his face

bore the marks of sleepless nights, such as the dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Daniel, there was a flicker

of hope in his eyes, which quickly dimmed.

"Mr. Quimby..."

"It's going to be okay," Daniel reassured him in a low voice. "The legal team of Quimby Group has stepped in to

work on your case. They are currently negotiating, so you should be able to get released on bail."

"Mr. Quimby, I am truly innocent!" Leroy covered his face and ran his hands through his hair. "I don't know what

happened. I haven't logged into that email account, and during the period before the exam, I barely visited my

office. I mostly stayed at home."

"I've verified everything." Daniel's voice was deep, and his gaze was intense. "Leroy, do you know who did this to

you?"

Leroy moved his lips but couldn't utter a word. He already had a strong suspicion.

Who else could have entered his office at will and known his computer password? But he held on to a glimmer of

hope, wishing his suspicions were wrong and hoping that people weren't capable of such treachery.

However, Daniel shattered his last shred of hope with a few cold words.

"It was Amanda."

Leroy was left stupefied, a cold chill running up from the depths of his heart.

"This is absolutely certain," Daniel told him. "I obtained surveillance footage of Amanda slipping into your office and

using your computer to send the email. I was initially skeptical, given your role as her mentor and the person who

paved her way to where she is today. But the evidence is undeniable."

"How could..." Leroy was overwhelmed with grief. "How could she do this? She's talented, and I've always

considered her a star pupil. I mentored her, helped her with her interviewing skills, and provided her with

resources. Why would she do this to me?"

"Because she wanted to target Maisie," Daniel stated coldly. "You were just a tool."

Leroy looked at him, his eyes empty.

"Because you have a great reputation in this field," Daniel continued. "Once you were tainted by the accusation of

leaking the exam questions, it would cause quite a stir in this industry that could possibly extend to the public eye.

More people would pay attention to this exam and, consequently, to Maisie." "So..." Leroy fell silent for a moment.

"Amanda was planning to create a scandal for Ms. Squire on the internet?"

"And simultaneously destroy your reputation."

Leroy closed his eyes, a sense of bitter despair washing over him. His reputation was already ruined.

Even though he had been wronged and had found evidence to prove his innocence, he had still spent several days

in police custody. While Maisie had Daniel to shield her from the world, what about him? He used to be someone's

protector, but now he had ended up in this situation.

Leroy recalled the story of the farmer and the snake. He was the foolish farmer, and Amanda was the ungrateful

snake.

"Leroy." Daniel walked over and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you."

"Mr. Quimby!" Leroy stood up abruptly.
