Later, Maisie recounted her encounter with Delilah to Daniel.

Daniel frowned. "She... was that arrogant?"

That meeting had been arranged at his request through Lily. Beyond assisting Maisie in expanding her network, there was a more critical motive—he aimed to verify his suspicion that Maisie could truly be the Newhouses' biological daughter!
