MISTAKE 62

Chapter 62: Daniel plays dirty

Just as Daniel was about to delve into his overflowing inbox, his phone buzzed insistently. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was Neil. With a furrowed brow, Daniel answered the call.

"Neil, what's the urgency?" Daniel inquired, his voice laced with a chill. Every time Neil called, he knew it had something to do with Anya.

"Daniel, we have a problem," Nell descended on his cars. "There's talk online about escalating the smear campaign against Anya."

Daniel's heart sink at the news. "What's the plan?" he asked, his tone sharp.

"They're planning to release more damaging content," Neil replied grimly. "It is as though they want to press her further. It doesn't make any sense; what do they want to get by pressing some more?" "This may have more to do than Anya, or there is something they want from Anya that even she does not know," Daniel said.

"I found something that could be related to that," Neil said.

"What?"

answered.
